Are Monks the new Hunters?

Hunters lost serpent sting which was like 40-50% of thier damage, that's why no one plays them anymore.
 
Not a QQ thread. But I was thinking..

Speed/Mobility= Check

High DPS= Check

Tons of Immobilizing effects= Check

Aoe Damage= Woah, that's new.

Now They are very killable, so I don't have too much of a problem fighting them (no kiting issues). They just got dat consistency and overwhelming Barrage of attacks, and slows.

Forgive me I don't really know much of their specs yet.

I want to roll one, but I'm not sure seeing how powerful they are atm. Still a nice addition to the f2p Bracket :p

Thoughts, experience with them so far?

I've already seen one with full bis pre-boa build (with lfh) minus agm.

Except hunters could stand still and not have to gap close to unload their payload. I'd say the skill cap for monks is higher, but compared to a hunter, what isn't higher.

Rets are the new hunter.
(Dun Dun dun)

Warrior + healer = dead ret. Rets got to be the most boring spec in the game atm anyway.
 
I don't think anything will ever come close to cata/MoP hunters. People will eventually forget what they were really like, and think something is else is better. But they will be wrong. Hunters were Lord Sovereign of the Gods mode. Never forget.

This man speaks the troof.
 
easy with the puns please
Even though I'm a monk, I never got on the honor roll.

Sometimes I use my punches other times I just roll around, you know, just for kicks.

If you roll a troll monk that means you're... trolling around!

The other day, a friend wanted me to hold their new battle pet, it was a tiger in my palm.

When I went to Brewfest, being a Brewmaster I thought I would get the utmost respect. Everyone kept asking "Hey, weird space goat, why do you waste all that beer?" I said to them, confidently and stern, "That's just how I roll."

And people used to call me a troll... my reply "Huh? but im a blood elf..."

Feral is Op... no1 can beat a feral, i can 2 shot peeps wit my kitty =(

We all know its Ferals who are the new hunters...

You're not wrong, Saint, Ferals seemed to have taken Hunter's number one FotM spot—for the time being—but they've got a long, long way to go before we start comparing them to the class that ruled this bracket with an iron fist for almost two entire patches. Even when they were "underpowered", they were still way good, and if you blinked you might have missed that.

I think that this is going to be one of those aberrations, when we'll all be like: "Remember that pre-patch when Ferals were way OP?". The (maybe not-so) secret is, Ferals have been pretty good for awhile. Their backloaded damage is always a little OP and their mobility has always been an issue, I think that half of it is self-fulfilling prophecy, Ferals are strong, people post that they are so, more people roll ferals, and then Ferals dominate. This could have happened last patch, but they are too complicated to play for many of the trials.

The main difference between cata/MoP and now, is that the f2p forums aren't filled with Hunter apologists denying that Ferals are even at all good. We've actually got people who play Ferals coming on here to say how OP they are, and not complaining how every healer is better in every way. If this sticks to WoD proper, maybe that will start., but I doubt Ferals will make it that far— the Hunter's destiny is to be eternally OP.





p.s. bliz buff hunterz plz. kk, thx.

I know, feral druid used to be the "coolest" class/spec for me in MoP. Used to play it alot, really enjoyed it, because i was helping team alot... also if i recall there were threads in MoP about the OPnes of feral. A good strategy could be your opponents death in that time...
here is da vid i did like 5 monts ago

Also, yeah, they buffed arcane shot :p
 
Haven't played F2P hunter in a BG this patch (just mucked around in PvE) but they still seem strong. (Boring, but strong.) Not as much burst, but ranged mobility is still there. But I think Blizzard had made some odd decisions, like casting Aimed Shot while moving. Any of you folks ever been hunting in real life?
