Who knows, maybe I’m wrong. Ive taken a couple month break from WoW. But since I’ve been back I’ve seen nothing that makes me think they’re OP. Strong, yes. But that doesn’t make them OP. IDK about PvE, but PvP side the paladin continues to remain OP as hell. Prot pally destroying 3 people at once. Add resto druids to that list. Whee. HoT HoT HoT HoT HoT HoT /laugh /dance then begin teabagging.

“Mages and hunters seem to struggle” … Really? Mages are struggling PvE Side now? Before they were among the highest dps dealing class, up there with locks.

Idk man, your info seems a bit skewed. Or maybe I’ve been gone too long.

I’m kind of stuck with being SV or MM and hiding while I try to burn down healers in Wintergrasp or the occasional AV and IoC. I do enjoy me some 10k bursts on unprotected and unsuspecting priests though. I -don’t- however enjoy the fact that I’m generally in viper more than I am dragonhawk.

I am of the opinion that the developers should continue with their current community information sharing …. just scale back on the number of minor patches just to try and make everything “perfect”. It never will be, someone will always be OP more than someone else. Let it play out for a couple months and then make an informed decision on how to balance everything in 1 shot.

I mean, it’s the same thing they do now, but with only like 3 weeks to see how it plays out.

I think the interaction between Blizz and the communiy is alot more present now than it was 3 years ago. Faster patches, fixes and responses atleast.

About the BM boost, I dont think they’re too proud/happy about it either. But given they’ve allready started on Catalysm and any change to any class today is going to be a waste of time come expansion, I bet they spend the devtime on “something else” rather.

It might be the harsh truth to it all as dev. time means money and reduction on time on other things and I see (as pointed out by others aswell) the BM buff as a PVE buff. Both MM and SV in PVE is “okay” so it’s like Blizzard would all the sudden make Frost mages viable in PVE again – noone really expects that to happen as there are 2 viable trees allready.

On fights like Iron Council which pretty much is a orgasm for any hunter (we do it medium – small – large for the stability kill instead of the little more risky small – medium – large) I allways beat the blood though, personal highest damage on them is 7.6.

Ulduar had alot of penalties on hunters – maybe thats why i didnt like most fights. Ranging from untrackable (someone made the math on MM and untrackable with the “normal” arpen build and came out with a 7.5% penalty if you cant track your opponent with imp track), more common and spread penalties like sunder armor or eq. unable to be affecting all targets which ofc is another thing to the more devastating fights like Vezax where you end up sitting on double penalties (0 mana regen and attackspeed lowered). In short I wont miss Ulduar.

ToC looks way better so far, I can see that – maybe I just need to put on the gameface again now that T8 is finally over :)

It is a very boring increase from Blizzard, especially when they state that talent trees aren’t fun enough. What I dislike is the fact that they might just be waiting for the next expansion to “fix” the hunter class, not to mention it’s getting a huge gutting.

It would help a lot more if there was very visible interaction between Blizzard and the player community.

But most of ToC involves some type of adjustment. Infernals, Sisters, Snobolds, Icehowl charges, avoiding/grabbing colored orbs, etc. None of these fights are Patchwerk. Always factor in how well you do everything else required of you.

But that being said, I still usually beat the DKs. :)
