5.3 hunts are as good as in Cata as now?

[Punnishers]

are in what state now?

 

[Brov]

yeah they're good I guess, ele is king atm tho

 

[Lebowski]

Why don't you compose a complete and coherent thought, then try again.

Not cata numbers by a long shot however we are noticebly better then 5.2. It has much more of a cata atmosphere to it then last patch and things are actually dying now however healers still hold their own (just like they did in cata). It seems very bursty overall atm which is how alot of people would prefer it and hunts AREN'T the only person with high burst.


Overall if hunts were a 10 in cata and around a 7 in mop I'd give them around a 8.5 atm. Something alot of people don't/probably won't realize is that ALL of our CC pets had a CD increase so we won't be able to CC every single fight anymore.

 

[Kearbear]

No, they're not.

Evidence: Just won a bg v 7 hunters. In cata everything that tried to cross mid would have died instantly.

Point duly taken about hunt pet nerf

Cooldown on crowd control abilities for several Hunter pet families have changed.

• Basilisk pet family’s Petrifying Gaze now has a cooldown of now 2 minutes, up from 1 minute.
• Bat pet family’s Sonic Blast now has a cooldown of 2 minutes, up from 1 minute.
• Crane pet family’s Lullaby now has a cooldown of 2 minutes, up from 1 minute.
• Monkey pet family's Bad Manner now has a cooldown of 2 minutes, up from 1 minute.
• Porcupine pet family’s Paralyzing Quill now has a cooldown of 2 minutes, up from 1 minute.
• Shale Spider pet family’s Web Wrap now has a cooldown of 90 seconds, up from 45 seconds.
• Wasp pet family's Sting now has a cooldown of 90 seconds, up from 45 seconds.
• Worm pet family’s Burrow Attack now has cooldown of 14 seconds, down from 20 seconds.

the other thing is that they have item scaling (just like other classes) but also a significant buff
Aspect of the Hawk now increases ranged attack power by 25%, up from 15%.
but also counter balanced by a nerf that is also inportant
Intimidation is now a level-30 talent available to all Hunter specializations and no longer learned by Beast Mastery Hunters at level 20.
one of the reasons i made this thread is because i havent played in about 1 1/2 months so i wanted to know what he status was, so i have NO CURRNET PERSPECTIVE
but also for the lolz
Revive Pet now has a cast time of 4 seconds, down from 6 seconds.

WOO

I wish this was a public poll.. I'd really like to see who said they are just as OP as they were in cata ^-^

 

[Footman]

They are in a good spot now imo. Definitely not as powerful as Cata..... in Cata literally 90% of the games I played were against 5 or more (usually more) Eye patched huntards....

 

[Nakedplumber]

Theyre op as they were in 5.2

 

[Gulbon]

Do you even Cataclysm, bro?

In all seriousness, they're powerful now, but no where near as powerful as they used to be in Cata. In cata my melee would always be kited by most of the retarded hunters, but in MoP, including now, it takes a good hunter to kite me and win tbh haha.

So basically, I'd say they'd be OP as cata if a 4 year old behind the screen can kite anything.

Probably rogues who get up your ass on bgs, sap you, backpedal 5sec to get into position for ambush, get taken out of stealth by pet and then proceed to cry about weak stealth

 

[sevenslacks7]

They are and always will be retardedly op, whats the point in even assuming otherwise.

 

[Azol]

Hahahah mesi

I like this edit alot more then your original post ^-^ Much more descriptive and clear. It's almost as if I can imagine that happening

They are like paladins. Forever cursed to be fotm

Edit : Not hating on hunters, just saying the truth. I even considered making a hunter myself in 5.2, but its just too much work

If you say they are like paladins then you obviously have 0 idea on what the ''truth'' is.

I don't think they are forever cursed to be FOTM. I think they are forever cursed to be judged negatively by people that don't even understand it.

 

[Bisonpower]

I haven't tried out any of my huntards. Pets seem to be less annoying. Hunter burst is up. Not like CATA but most since the original nerf. On Wolfpower (resto) I got soloed by one troll hunter and playing Balance on Horde druid i got soloed to.

Hunters can kite an entire team fairly easily. The reason melees felt like they got kited so badly in Cata was due to the fact that if a hunter gained control of the situation, you were dead in 2 globals.

 

[Arberian021]

The hunters arent OP ! How many times should i repeat this!? Feral druids got a 40% damage buff and they need only 1 rogue and 1 healer to kill an EFC!!

 

[Rollop]

Nope. In cata they backpeddled across the field destroying everything, topping charts. They were basically like death knights during wrath, minus the death grip.
