I applaud anything that gets more people into dungeons. Trying to teach a higher level of competence in heroics was a naive display of optimism on the designers' part.


That said, it's still kinda funny. Less than a month.

looks to me if they looked at the top dps meters and nerfed from there...1) Surv. hunters getting a nerf and seeing rogues getting a slight boost.


might have to check out the official hunter forums and enjoy the reading.

Except that Survival hunters were not the top, Rogues were.

Further, the top 10 specs and classes are within 5% of each other...

When I looked at it yesterday, rogues were on top.

at the top that says DPS AVG. its clickable...that is what i did and showed the hunter as #1. i just did it, so that is why i came to that conclusion.

Survival

* Black Arrow damage has been reduced by 25%.
* Explosive Shot damage has been reduced by 25%.
* Serpent Spread can now only affect up to 4 targets per Multi-Shot, down from unlimited.


ouch. what boggles my mind the most in this is the reduction to black arrow. do they want us tossing fire traps instead? or was the scaling on this at the highest gear levels actually so much better? explosive shot nerf seems overly harsh too. i thought they said survival was good and they were going to be bringing the other hunter specs up to its level, not the other way around

i swear this is why i have one of each character leveled up. you never know what class they're going to stick it to. assassination rogue is easily one of the highest dps in most situations and it was untouched(hell it got a buff!) but they slammed survival hunters? *confused*

Shatter damage is now reduced by armor, but has been increased by 33.3% (repeating, of course) as a result.



lol


On a serious note, the paladin changes look promising and I'm glad they didn't nerf my chakras. Also, Casting mind sear on a friendly target will be very interesting. It'll be nice to not have my aoe interrupted after one pulse because the mob I have to cast it on died.

OMG THIS!!! THIS A MILLION TIMES OVER!

ahem, sorry... Tab+SW uses too much mana, now, so Mind Sear is back to being our main AOE ability, however that still didn't address the problem of trash dying quickly... so now target the tank and let it go! WOO!

sorry, i'll calm down... promise... maybe.

Q: Does Heroism make the same sound as Bloodlust when it goes?
A: Nope. Heroism has this sound like a gong being hit, and then something
like a triumphant cheer. Bloodlust makes a sound like bong being hit, and
then a murloc being strangled to death.
