    Ur spec seems intentionally neglecting BM. may be u don't like BM spec very much. U effectively removed BM's execute phase ability (Kill Shot), and in return the spec gains nothing. U propose SV (I m assuming ur most fav spec, u were very descriptive) execute phase at or below 30% hp, not only that increasing damage if ST or BA active. This will effectively lower ST/BA damage so much, it will only be viable at or below 30% HP. SV is fine as it is, it doesn't need and shouldn't have any change remotely near what u spec.

    Still no execute phase. Crow 30 sec duration with 15 sec CD? reverse would sound better. 2 KC crit makes next AS focus free? that doesn't feel like any thing special. Specially in BW, we only need 10 focus for AS, with ToTH, its free.

    Also, btw. why trueshot aura grants spell power? Hunters r not spell casters.

    Trueshot Aura:
    Infuses all party and raid members with Trueshot, increasing their spell power by 10% and their critical strike chance by 5%
    The aspects u designed will hunter's own dps very badly. Say if ur party needs mastery u need to sacrifice ur own Hawk buff damage and grant mastery. Not a great idea.

    BM like pets. The idea is to make BM more pet intensive but still more damage comes from the hunter pressing the buttons.

    The current Hawk damage buff is baked into Rank of A Ranger. My Aspect of the Hawk is the current Trueshot Aura buff.
    Kill Command makes a return.

    1) Rank of outrunner, disables rank of rangers (losing 25% AP) + 30% less damage done. so for some time, the hunter is weakest. is it worth sacrificing like 40% of ur damage for 30% movement speed?

    2) since u can have only one aspect, Any hunter will refuse to provide any buff. since providing a buff will require turning off hawk and lost 10% AP. Thus making all the other aspects unused.

    1. it's more of an escape skill.

    2. Aspect of the Hawk is the same buff as DK's Horn of Winter, so really the aspect chosen should be based on the buffs that are missing.

    Added new skills;

    Arachnophobia

    Splinter

    I actually think that turning aspects into raid buffs is a good idea. I mean, in raids, hunters really lose their favour when it comes to pets as they have to choose the one that has a buff the raid is missing. We lack raid utility already so I am sure this change wpudln't be so drastic. I think we're one of those classes that have to change their setups most on diffrent encounters.

    It is not a good idea when 10% attack power hawk buff is on aspect as well. I m in no way, sacrifice 10% of my DPS to grant another raid buff. In raids specially in 10m, not all buffs r covered, thus we gotta bring in pet. but an aspect of 10% AP vs 10% attack speed? its clear which is the winner.

    And also by the looks of it, aspects altogether might be going away in WoD.

    I don't like the aspect part. 4 of the 5 we can bring with our pets already; why would I want to gimp myself, instead of using a pet's ability?

    Because you should be able to choose to bring any pet you want or no pet (if you are specced Lonewolf) to raid instead of using the specific pet to give out the buff. This change would mean that pets would bring utility instead of obligatory buff and would also mean you can bring any pet you want because your hunter can provide the missing buffs.

    >.......You do realize the 10% ap buff can be provided by other classes or other hunter in your raid, right? right? right? Fine you win, since you don't understand how buff works, the 10% buff goes back to Trueshot Aura, while Aspect of the Hawk/Serpent becomes crit buff. Happy?

    I do get how buffs work. Just i don't get ur assumption every team runs with a DK or more than one hunters. And what if there is 2 hunter? u want one of them sacrifice his own dps to grant others advantage? think through first.

    er.... you do know that the 10% damage ap is for the WHOLE raid right? if One hunter use it, the other hunter gets the buff too, you know that, right?

    so what's the problem? If one of the hunter uses 10% damage buff or one of the DK cast Horn of Winter, all physical dps will get the dps. What's the problem?
