Dear Blizzard, I miss volley...

[itzthedon]

Why did they decide to remove volley from the game come Cataclysm? Every other class has a solid AoE or two that deal massive amounts of damage but hunters don't. You're probably thinking 'QQ Moar' but seriously hunters don't have a real AoE move anymore which is very disappointing.

Traps and multi shot should do fine

They decided to remove it from the game because it wasn't "hunter-feely"

[Missbenedict]

Survivals aoe is pretty good atm. but blizzard does have a point when they say that 2 aoes is silly, so they chose to keep multishot.

[Velyndina]

yep. multi-shot was buffed to do the same as volley.

[Deleted]

Just think though. Multi shot is better because with volley it only hits where you place the area you want to attack. with Multi shot it hits every1 anyhere. if you get me :P.

Play a Shadow priest then come back

[Lagwin]

you've got better aoe than enahnce shamans since you can use it when you need it ,unlike enhance where if you need it you need to waste globals to set it up then after a quick week blast you need to wait an age for the cooldowns to comeback

Blizzard hits for 1500 at 333 ilvl. Hunters are doing 15k on trash pulls. Please QQ more.

I like the design/fuction of multishot now much more than I ever liked volley, but is admittedly weak if you dont spec SV.

[Renascent]

Ehhh... my hunter is survival so the dps from multishot is pretty significant now, but I can think of plenty of instances where having the old channeled version of volley would be incredibly helpful, for MM or BM in particular in heroics (croc boss in lost city, the trogg trash packs in grim batol, etc). Multishot is sort of a fail AOE if you aren't survival for some reason.

[taran111]

you may think multi is weak but all aoes are weak at the moment. Take swipe for instance. If there isnt at least 10 mobs dont bother, you're better off single targeting.

[Acidd06]

they could of at least changed Volley up a little bit not just totally remove it

[Deleted]

multishot is weak on its own cause it costs 40 focus and hits once for barley anything.. is ok as survival because of serpents spread.

If volley is brought back it should be different..

+Costs like 50-60 focus to cast
+Channeling but looks different from how it was.. you shot a couple of shots into the air and those arrows/bullets splits into multiple shots as it rains down (see volley used by valkyr hunters right before dreamwalker in ICC)
+Does physical damage (or maybe fire)

Now that would be a proper hunter aoe.. cause imo multishot sucks

Then they can also bring back old multishot.. make it hit less targets but harder making it better to use on 2-4 mobs and volley is used on 4+ mobs

[Juri]

cause imo multishot sucks

Well your opinion is invalid my friend

try Multi-shot (which at least for me applies serpent sting to all my targets) Explosive Trap and Snake trap

yummy yummy AoE DPS

Well as i said its good for survival cause of serpents spread, not very good for marks and terrible for BM

Well everything is crap compaired to Survival right now

helped a guildie realize that

he was marks and pulling about 6k DPS

told him to go survival now hes pulling 14k on fights

Arcane Explosion, Flamestrike, Blast Wave, Blizzard, Frost Nova (now i'm pushing it).

Yes, 2 AoE's was silly.....

[Milanor]

Because shotgun-style Multi Shot is badass, that's why.

[nerfducken]

Explosive trap + Multi-shot = you win at aoe.
