This build was on 3 days ago, 16.08. And this build bring DKs to top.
So chill a bit
- Hunters everywhere trying to explain to Blizzard you can't balance hunters around ilvl 520-530.
- Blizzard tells us we will be relatively higher than we were last tier, not to worry.
- All classes sim about 10-15k less than last tier due to RPPM changes.
- All classes, but hunters, gets buffed to offset RPPM changes.
That's my thoughts. Still simming 14k less than I do on live, all other classes got buffs to offset the RPPM changes. We will be low-mid pack again if we go live like this. As it stands with this newest build, I think we are actually relatively lower than last tier. Blizzard already acknowledge we were low in ToT, so unless they completely forgot about hunters we won't go live as it stands.

Get ready, the next Bandaid of the Hawk buff is coming soon! Even though it only hurts the class long-term. Devs are too lazy to fix hunter scaling, even though it wouldn't even be too tricky.
Anyone else get just a single Kill Shot on the PTR... doesn't seem to reset if target not killed. Tooltip still says it should but never read anything about any nerfs to it
I'm honestly getting worried. I've had a relaxed attitude so far with the PTR stuff, but 5.4 is coming very close, and we haven't seen any real number tuning for hunters yet. (There's just been some moving dmg around from ability x to ability y).
It just feels like we're kinda forgotten. Except when they're adding glyphs to make Aspect of the Pack range smaller, or giving 10% dmg reduction on Camoflauge...

lol, does every ptr build get to be all about huntards? i think its about time dks have the spot light.
The point is that they have said they are going to address the Hunter DPS issues (ie that they are quite low) and keep telling us to be patient and that they will get to the numbers tuning eventually.
However, what it appears instead, is that we are completely forgotten, so we'll start out pretty lame and then get a band-aid Aspect of the Hawk fix two weeks in to bring our numbers up, which is pretty much the most boring and least useful way to buff our numbers.
IMO the worst thing is, these bandaid buffs are coming after top guilds have been on farmmode for weeks and semi hc guilds are most likely progressing on garrosh and when dps is no longer an issue for raidcomp, because of gear other classes have gotten.
Yea, I am not sure any longer. I play a hunter so of course I would like to see buffs, but I am honestly not sure we need them. I haven't played much on the PTR, so most of this is just speculation.
I looked at my guilds last HC Ji-Kun kill and ran the numbers for Kill command and Arcane shot exclusively, going of the assumption that the same distribution of crits and hits of the two spells would be the same (unlikely and I know that it is a rather small sample size). Afterwards it did occur to me that I had not done anything about the fact that there will be 2 Kill Commands less due to readiness going away.
But anyway, just comparing the Arcane Shot/Kill Command it turned out to be around a 7k dps increase. So depending on how much DPS the Stampede changes give I think that we are going to be fine, bear in mind that most higher output classes are getting tuned down a bit (Mages, Enhancment Shamans). So we will most likely actually be higher in general than what we were before.
