I love the focus setup for hunters now, but the mechanics behind it are nothing short of a pain in the arse. There's just too many steps and resource management involved to come close to the DPS of another class.

IF (and I stress the "IF" there) hunters are "broken" it is only by virtue of the complexity of the class compared to others.


It's stupidly simple to DPS as a Mage by comparison to a hunter - spam arcane blast, do missiles on a proc or something. 90% or more of your damage is arcane blast, 10% or less is missiles.


...


With all of that said. I am enjoying my hunter now more than I have in a long time. It takes some thought and if you do it right, you get good results. I expect other classes to be tuned to be more demanding and less overpowered going forward. Hunters are now to DPS classes what Warriors have always been to tank classes.



Thanks, you've just convinced me to polish off my Shammie or pay more attention to my mage... this is too much like hard work for me I think, I am after "face-rolling" easy-sauce, with huge DPS thrown in...


Cheers for he detailed response though
