''30% special ability CD reduction gone from BM''

Uh... I do hope this is pet CC abilities only.

That's amazing news for all PVP hunters.
Nerfing pet CDs means 1 minute sac, 3 minute pet trinket even for BM now, makes swapping pets midfight much more appealing atm(albeit 3 second cast), pretty much need that pet sac for to combat other 1 min cds for swaps(ie. dance, bw from other hunters, frozen orb etc).

@Bovan: Specials are family abilities only.

Special abilities include Spirit Mend, debuffs and pet AoEs too. I hope they specifically apply it to CCs only.

Simple fix would be to remove the 30% reduction like they plan, then have them reduce those specific abilities by 30%. Just tweet the shit out of holinka with that idea and I'm sure it will happen.

They did a proper fix this time. https://twitter.com/holinka/status/331465823195648000

I'm late to the party, but that is what they did.

Damn we're good. MMO champ stays saving this game from turning into total shit

It's a welcome change honestly, a little nerf to hunter pet instant cc won't be as gamebreaking as a scatter dr trap nerf will be.

From the PvE side of things, this implies a 2 minute rabid CD instead of 1.4 minutes for BM, for every other BW.

If they are further nerfing the CD on pet CC abilities, that may mean that pet CC is probably 1 minute across the board on all hunter specs, and since BM doesn't get special pet CD 30% reduction treatment anymore, it will be the same for all specs. Shale is currently almost same cd as trap, and crane is a tad more.

They reduced the CD of the pve abilities to compensate for the nerf.

Nvm, explained above

Good to hear! I'm guessing this actually means that mm and surv pet pve abilities will be buffed.

pet CC cooldown increased is going to hit us harder than you think, scatter trapping can be stopped easily if your team knows how to, trapping of pet stuns and sleeps not so much. but still grateful for the revert of DR

First post in the thread and you call everyone "bitches"... Great reasoning there.

Nerfing scatter was dumb because that would have hit surv and MM much harder than BM. If an MM hunter had to use crane sleep for every trap, they would only be able to trap every minute at the most instead of every 30 secs like you could with scatter. Plus you have to deal with all the annoying shit that comes with relying on your pet to CC.

Have you not listened to any music in the last 5 years? Those are song lyrics.

OP is missing this: We did it!

Probably, which is a good thing in PvE. It'll bump SV/MM single target up a little bit without touching BM.

Though they still need to fix pet abandoning, or this is still only going to seriously hurt hunters playing the intended way.
