MoP : F2P Hunters! Still OP? I think so!

Lets be honest here. Swifty isn't very good, he gets too excited about things that are actually pretty bad, and doesnt seem to know too much about higher rated pvp
well veinte, he isnt the best player in the world. However, if you think about when wow was considered a new game, Swifty was one of the best if not, more than average player. Why do you think he got so famous? He one of the first gamer to get that successful if you know what i mean.
I do understand that people would hate swifty for being a noob in the game sometimes but he, rl person, doesnt deserve to be hated. He is a nice guy you know...
 
I want hunters to be absolute trash, it would be awesome!

Swifty is great at what he does, very entertaining at times, seems like a genuine good person.
 
I'm not commenting on his ingame skill, just his videos. He seems to think everything is amazing, when clearly it's not. All his videos make it seem like he is preaching to the converted and every class video is aimed at <class> fanboys.

If we want hunts not to be so OP, remove concussive shot from low level BGs. Simple. Then you will need some actual skill to use them. None of this is live. We don't know how base resilience or PvP BoAs will affect any of this. Hunts could be the current locks for all we know. It depends on the final numbers.

Final thought, my most enjoyable matches have been games without constant concussive shot spam. Bring this back, Blizz, and low level brackets will be more enjoyable for all.
 
If you dont want concussive shot, then they should get steady while moving in return.
 
It's not a QQ thread, it's a wild speculation about what happens when MP is released. It's going to be big changes for every class, and we have no idea where it will all end. I'm fairly certain that things will change a lot once it's released. Blizz always get it horribly wrong and I have complete confidence in their ability to get this expansion wrong too.

One thing to remember. Beta is beta. None of this is live. Even when it goes live, it's unlikely to stay thay way for long. Also, beta is not even close to complete, let alone ready for release. We have no idea when any of this will go live.
 
Hunters remain fine. Calling it now.
 
Cotus, you're Lloydganks!? Mind blown.

I doubt you remember me (29 was a long time ago) but I mostly played a UD frost mage named Salphir and I can remember quite a few fun games with you. Loved surprising people who assumed a mage couldn't kill them.

On topic - Hunters are still going to exert an extreme amount of control over other f2p classes. Their damage output will be slightly lesser, but I don't really see them being made much more on every other classes' level. Blizz has never been able to balance hunters, why would the magically be capable of it in MoP?
 
So with all the hunter complaints around the forums, Hunters get to keep conc shot (as of current build), where priests and paladins lose heal and holy light, and rogues lose sprint...

Makes sense guise!

Why do you think Blizzard cares about balancing low level PeeVeePee?

yeah, your name sounded familiar!
 
tons, of every class. i played 29s and 19s for a long time off and on, with some breaks. i would list them all but it's honestly a really long list. was your 29 mage on bloodlust (bg9)? i remember most of my toon names from there
 
I mostly played Vindication but I also had toons spread out, definitely some on Bloodlust. Was in guilds such as TWINKD, I Ride a Segway, and I Ride a Unicorn. Hopefully those ring a bell... I can't for the life of me remember some of the other guilds / chars I had, mainly because the mage was so memorable and fun. But my other main 29s were a rogue named Falana and a warrior named Malevolence.

It would be nice if they reinstated something similar to battlegroups; it really gave the games a sense of community... which is why I enjoy playing on AP now. But yeah, it's exciting to see a name from the 29 days, it would be great if we found some others from that group lurking here in f2p.
 
disagree with swiftee on hunters being already OP and one of the best in CATA at 85.

they are rarely seen in 2's and 3's. and mages destroy hunters

Swifty is the lay mans hero. He still loves this game and is blown away by every new spell or item.

It's like watching a kid. It's entertaining but not very informative. He talks about how overpowered a lot of spells or glyphs are, as if 90% of them aren't already in game. It's like he doesn't know what any class can do on live except warriors.
