Hunter's Distracting Shot removed, possible to see it as a minor glyph? I'd be very sad to see the clutch plays go ;_;
Raised the range of Growl so that you can use it in that way, for the majority of cases.
why no Execute mechanic for Surv hunters, not Kill shot, but smthg else? 1 extra charge of "LnL" from BA when target below 30%?
Not every spec needs to have an execute. In fact it's a pro that you have an option that doesn't
They actually think that pet taunt being a 30 yard range is going to compensate losing distracting shot, even though pets are in melee range of mobs anyway so the 30 yard range is pointless. Not to mention the entirely different set of uses that Distracting Shot gives by taunting something to the HUNTER, not the pet. They're talking out of their asses about an ability that's been in the game since the beginning and is extremely useful in a lot of situations (taunt bouncing, saving party members and slingshotting aggro back with feign death, saving your pet's life, etc.) Seriously, wtf.
And taking away Kill Shot from Survival? Really? Their answer for making the specs unique is taking away USEFUL abilities from one so that it is different? Way to completely disregard Survival PvP hunters as well.
Beta hasn't even started and I'm already sad. But at the same time, beta hasn't even started. We better gear up in our complain-pants to fix some of this crap, like always.
