I've heard from blizz that hunters/rogues will be getting some changes among specs to make them different but without revamping them. This sounds like a good time to add back mana instead of focus for one out of the three specs we have probably marksmanship.
This will obviously be a good thing for hunters hopefully they will balance them back and make them more enjoyable because right now it takes little to no skill to play compared to other classes such as a feral druid and still be at the top of the dps charts.
The problem with focus is it didn't address the biggest issue they had with was resource management If they made steady shot to regain perhaps 1% mana regain per shot we would have been fine. In fact it made it worse and they didn't do anything to it which made them low on the dps charts and what they did to "fix" them is boost the dmg of their shots which is more of a band-aid fix than anything now were extremely way up the top hitting almost around 400k dps. That's not balance. And then they added all of this other stuff which we didn't need: shoot on the move, stealth, bl, brez, which had little effect on pve. Hunters were the most balanced in pve, during Wrath and it did take more skill to play just to even 3rd in dps charts. We were mostly around the middle, and yes the there was more to it than "switching to viper to back" anyone that played a hunter back then would know lol. I was always at the top and knew how to efficient with my resource management which takes skill too without having to sacrifice any dps.
Thoughts?
