Dropping hunter after 6 years :(

[Deleted]

I like my hunter, I play BM and nothing else despite the pre legion reports I decided I wanted BM. I say I did decent so far 7/7 mythic 3/3 hc and up to 14+ in time due to lack of group not potential. I will continue to roll with it no matter what, i'm sure the sun will shine on BM again (hopefully soon).

[Aggrophobic]

Thank god. One less moron whining about tuning when it's an ongoing process that could be completely changed at any point until it goes live, and even then the chance of hotfixes and changes after heroic NH week.

It's great fun to see people who clearly know nothing about the game nor how PTR cycles work throw a hissy fit.

Bye.

It could change... But to be fair, Blizzard ususally does not work that way.
It is way more likely that MM and BM is done at this point.

Are you quitting because of numbers, or because you don't enjoy the class anymore?

I've been playing hunter for 12 years, and been through the ups and downs because I enjoy my class.

Yeah, this.

I didn't sign up to play the game only to be forced out of the class that drew me in in the first place. I'll stick with it to see improvements rather than abandoning ship.

I really wish they'd abandon this whole policy of trying to reinvent the wheels with every single damned expansion...

[akaTheDude]

I am with ya. I have played my hunter since Wrath and Cata and they have destroyed the class imo. I have now moved on to other classes, and I am still having a good time.

[Aggrophobic]

Yeah, this.

Funny thing is, they said a lot of players quit becuase their class gets changed that often... Yet they make huge changes at least once ever expantion.
In Legion, two time so far. Not sure what they are trying to achive with that.

[Trapstarz]

I like MM at the moment, and i would love to play survival melee if it was viable.

Exactly the same

PTR hunter is great. what do u want man?

Indeed... It's like, couldn't they SAVE a lot of time by not remaking classes every.fucking.expansion...? I hope that they'll improve upon the classes now and then not reinvent them once more with 8.0.

I'm casual BM for 10 years, having 2 pets is enough for me

Honestly draco, you're trying to make it sound a lot harder than it actually is. You can't tell me for a player with 2 digit IQ that anything in this game has ever been hard to manage your damage.

No class is difficult anymore. There's a difference between doing great (90th+ percentile) and mastering (95-100th) your class in most cases, though. Some is RNG, but giving hunters more things to min max can only be considered a good thing, because right now the only thing that's relevant is "Can you manage to keep vulnerable up enough that none of your aimed shots hit without it?". That's changed drastically.

As it stands, blizz could have well over 120 different specs, as many times as they have redesigned them throughout the game. Honestly, they shoulda just went with the "infinite" specs, and only concentrated on making sure a few are balanced at the top for each class, given that theres two types of players - Those that don't give a shit what their numbers are and play the spec of their preferred playstyle, and those that reroll to whatever boasts the highest numbers.

That, and 10 fingers. There was even a difference between people that could play and those who couldn't back in Classic ffs, but managing ANY spec has never required more than an intact, basic human brain and 2 hands... hell, you could probably do it with one hand with some good keybinding and macro builds.

Yeah, it's quite sad to think that they've killed spec iterations that were well loved by the playerbase just so that they can boast that they're doing something over at the class design department...

[Finbezz]

Good riddance. Get out.

[Deleted]

I got sad when i saw the new item changes... versatility on EVERYTHING

What is wrong with versiality ??
I preffer to have versiality + something than 1 ton of items who gives crit and haste

[Deleted]

Nothing, other than in most cases its the worst stat.

There are no significant changes inbetween PTR and live. The only difference is some fine tuning, but the groundwork is already set most of the time.

[Aiphoenix]

I feel your pain mate. I had to bite the dust myself, and level my monk. Can do everything the old MM hunter could, more or less, because it has not been slaughtered, mechanicly.

So, the fact they redesigned MM hunter as a stationary caster with a bow, doesn't concern you?

[Drekker17]

I doesn't matter, you will be replaced...really. I've been bored with my hunter too and have been leveling some toons I've left behind thinking of which one to level all the way to 110. Lvl 15 priest in westfall, half other players are hunter, lvl 22 Rogue that just finished leveling in Loch Modan and maybe 2/3 of others leveling are hunters (I think hunter gnomes are fueling this), lvl 64 dk half other players are hunters, lvl 79 Druid...not half, but most others leveling are hunters. Maybe this is why Blizzard has little concern.

A lot of people have 2 digit IQs. Like, around half.
