nvm I see it on the front page.

[Arrowset]

Buffs always welcome. Wonder why Kill Command isn't on the list. Actually I guess the pet buff covers that.

[Triggered Fridgekin]

Wonder if Lone Wolf is now the 'meh' talent of choice seeing as how pets have been buffed. Why pick LW when you'll get that much more out of a good pet + okay talent?

[Deleted]

that amoc buff. i didn't expect kill shot or chimaera shot being buffed, with these buffs mm lvl 100 should be rly competitive.

[Boricha]

I wonder when precisely these went in. I did the second half of heroic SoO earlier today and got around 10-11k dps average at ilvl 562

[Dimmune]

Hopefully they keep these buffs after launch. Hunter really needed this. I would still like to see an ability or two to come back to MM and Survival, just feels unfinished. Otherwise I'm a happy hunter.

Edit: These buff Hotfixes won't be applied until server restarts in the morning.

Really surprised KC didn't get buffed...

[Solidito]

Very happy with the buffs, I hope like others have said that the buffs will remain in WoD.

bm is getting more benefit from pet buff than the others, i think thats why they didnt buff KC

[Kissthebaby]

You know something is way off when you have to buff a move by 80% I mean really.

[Sandwrong]

With that pet buff, a KC buff would make BM hunters the FOTM again in arena. It's bad enough all the QQ we heard from people saying that pets did too much damage in arena even while LoS'd from the hunter....

But BM was already under the other two specs by a decent amount...

[Arrowset]

So with arcane shot getting buffed and kill command staying the same, is it ever arguable to use arcane shot (bypasses armor) against heavily armored targets in pvp? Haven't followed the exact damage numbers like the pve guys do.

This is why they need to separate the two, make a "server" or "PvP spec" that's not affected by the PvE portion, that way they can buff PvE without it hurting PvP. Or just do the easy thing and make pets do less damage to players, win/win. You can buff PvE without hurting PvP.

[Lillpapps]

Will these changes get reverted when the game moves into WoD? Seems like big changes for SV and MM that was already "decent".

[marjolaine]

Dont forget the glaive toss barrage and powershot buffs as well as arcane and cobra all effect BM, it might be still under the other 2 but hopefully will be competitive still, also i tweeted Rygarius and he replied saying next tuesday is the expected arrival for these hotfixes.

Liking the buffs, but still sad that they still havent done anything to make Stampede a viable choice. As it stands imo, Blinkstrike is still far superior for mobility / target swaps etc. The MoC buff makes it appealing to try out tho and see how it does.
