do u have a source?

So a 5.2% damage nerf to one ability (your top damaging ability mind you) should come out to like 2.5% overall damage nerf. I'm sure the class will be fine.

(also, keep in mind they frequently balance based on upcoming gear/events/etc to prevent classes from getting too out of line with scaling)

edit: on our 871 ilvl hunter this equates to a 7k dps nerf.

I fail to see how is MM is out of scaling , show me please.
The only fight which MM is far superior is I'lgenoth which we cheese dps there.

They may not be "out of scaling" now, but they could be at some unforseen (by players) point in the future, and this was done to prevent that.

"Vulnerable now increases damage by 50% (was 25%), stacking up to 2 times (was 3 times)

I can't post links yet friend

Vulnerable is not being used atm, MM hunters all go for Patient Sniper, so this is not a buff.

and here comes unhappy blizzard...

nerfing hunters while others are not even getting touched I guess blizzard simply does not want us the have the slightest chance to be in the top.

more nerfs to come I'm 100% sure

This is bullshit my friend. They can change it via hotfix when the time comes. All they do is looking at Warcraft logs EN statistics and they see MM in the top 3 and the only reason is Il'gynoth, the rest of the fights we're pretty much middle.

That's... not true actually, they nerfed Pyroblast. The other two mage specs were underperforming so they got buffs obviously.

I'm surprised Blizzard hit Aimed Shot instead of Sidewinders, if there's a problem with Marksmanship it's that talent.

You seem pretty upset about a minor nerf

it's about the direction this is gign again...

oh let's uickly check the logs... hunter on in the top???? nah that can't be true... let's nerf this... hmmm... I guess nerfing aimedshot is what matters

[WskyDK]

I'm gonna dip before this victim-complex gets any worse.

Good luck

[Aldare]

Like WskyDK is saying, this nerf is pretty minor so I wouldn't be too upset.

Changing Marksman at the moment is hard because of Sidewinders. A talent that enables you to hit the entire room while still maintaining full ST damage is just really tricky to balance around. The problem Blizzard has is that without Sidewinders Marksman feels horrible to play, so they can't change it without making more wide changes to the spec as a whole.

also why are shadoows not even getting touched?

500k dps on any boss they want? hello?

[Heltoray]

ok, so what about warriors, mages and warlocks? why cant we ever be on top?

[Yhcti]

they're changing vulnerable from 3x25% to 2x50% so a 25% buff. It'll counteract the nerf to aimed shot. Can everyone stop freaking out when they see a single nerf, crikey.

Also whats with the crying about our dps being poor? we're IMHO in an awesome state, and majority of top hardcore raiders would agree. we're top5 on every fight, top 3 on most and can be #1 on some.
