Silence Shot nerf thread

[Enhshamanlol]

We're going to take the damage off of Silencing Shot. It's supposed to be a situational utility ability, not something you macro into every shot.

BOO

[Lysah]

Good.

[Sabotaj]

Pfeh, it's a reasonable change i suppose. It won't make me love my Hunter any less.

[Razorlor]

Good.

^this

[Rivin]

Very good change.

[Correlia]

I like the change

[Lysah]

To add,
remember, OP, that they will keep hunter damage competitive regardless. This change won't impact our position in raids negatively at all. Instead, we will have a reliable interrupt we can use when WE want, not on cooldown every time. Macroing abilities into shots is the ultimate boredom, and Blizzard is trying to stop it.

We all know nobody is going to use them anywai, wasted global is dps loss!

Silencing Shot hasn't been on the global cooldown in a long time.

Meh. Then I would have to have a different raiding spec and heroics spec. Do not want.

[Underskilled]

Makes sense, Blizzard put silencing shot in with the idea that it would be a cool situational ability, and PVE MM hunters just macro'd it into every shot, not even thinking about it, which makes it as boring as the talents blizz wants to remove.

But now depending on the difficulty of the heroics, we might have to take it for CC, but in a raid, it won't really be necessary. At least with damage involved it keeps my specs clean.

I don't mind that much but to counter the no damage the Cooldown needs to drop from 20s imo

Keep it anyway. You shouldn't fret so much over one talent, that's not the design goal here. If you are, you should let Blizzard know, they're trying to avoid that "I gotta have TWO marks specs because silencing shot is only good half the time" idea.

It's going to take a long time to break that mindset, surely you understand ;D

[FlawlessSoul]

Silencing Shot will certainly have its useful points in Raids, still.

[Zurth]

Good change

[FlawlessSoul]

Good change

Absolutely. Will mean that we no longer have to macro it into everything or spam it to eke out that last little bit.

[shadey]

And peoples future rotation stayed the exact same I fully understand and agree with the change.

[unillenium]

To be honest it's annoying having to constantly bang my head against whether or not I should spam silencing shot for the damage or save it for the interrupt, and the situation is constantly changing.

Nothing like, OMG the rogue is dead! SOMEONE INTERRUPT! as I watch the cooldown tick away
