The upcoming patch 4.0.6 will bring some drastic changes to the class and it might affect lvl39 twinking.
These are the important changes that will change our lvl1-39 spells and talents:
* Aimed Shot weapon damage has been increased to 200%, up from 150%. In addition, the base cast time has been reduced to 2.4 seconds, down from 3.
* Hunters can now use Auto Shot while moving.
* Explosive Shot damage has been reduced by 15%.
* Arcane Shot damage has been increased by 15%.
* Kill Shot's attack power scaling has been increased by 50%.
* Hunter vs. Wild has been increased to 5/10/15% Stamina.
* Into the Wilderness has been reduced to a 10% Agility increase, down from 15%.
* Concussive Shot duration has been increased to 6 seconds, up from 4.
* Freezing Trap now has a PvP duration of 8 seconds.
* Wing Clip now has a PvP duration of 8 seconds.
I hope I haven't missed any other changes, keep in mind those are not the final patch notes and changes might be made before 4.0.6 goes live.
So far Survival Hunters lose 5% Agility and Explosive Shot deals 15% less damage, however we receive 5% extra Stamina.
Also Aimed Shot becomes a bit more appealing, Arcane Shot gets an extra 15% damage and we will be able to use auto shot when moving, which is a huge Marksmanship buff in my opinion.
So what do you think about those changes, will Survival still be the best PVP spec?
Will we be forced to use Glyph of Arcane Shot(12% extra damage), instead of Glyph of Explosive Shot(6% extra crit)?
Should we stack more stamina in order to benefit from the +5% increase, or focus more on Agility to overcome the 5% reduction?
