Been testing the level 90 abilities quite extensively regards damage and utility in boss fights and PvP. Right now our level 90 talents are just plain boring. There seems zero imagination on Blizz's side and each time I respec I find myself picking pretty much the same talents.
For PvE Barrage is probably the one with the most use: Single Target in full 483 PvP gear, hit and expertise capped its hitting around 60K for a 40 focus shot with 30 seconds cooldown. I'm sorry but didn't they just nerf this ability. As Survival, MM or BM I cannot see myself using this in a single target rotation. In fights with adds and multi target it does marginally better
Powershot : Probably the worst of our level 90 abilities. Essentially a Thunderstorm with a 3 second cast and one minute cd, critting for 111K, normal hit for around 47K. Due to the cast time, unless theres a crowded area which requires this very precise ability of knockback (although cannot see why a free ET, glyphed cannot work better) this ability is pretty poor. In arena I can see the opposition loling whilst they go make a cup of tea, come back in time as we are finishing the cast time and just LOS us. Perhaps worked with some form of snare it could work but outside that its relatively poor. Again I cannot see this being used in a single target rotation - as GC suggested he wanted us to.
Glaive Toss: Shorter cd, dmg is pathetic - essentially an arcane shot can do more. Has more use in PvP, but 30% reduction to speed for 3 seconds needs something more to it in order to make it fun.
I've been playing my hunter since Vanilla. I enjoyed the huge change to Focus although it had its downside in PvP. I just don't find these talents fun nor at the same time do I want to reroll because I've spent so much time on her. What are other peoples experiences to our talents. Granted there are some interesting options, some not so (like Tier 2). If they cannot give us decent new abilities then just work on improving what we have instead of giving us something thats ill thought through and just makes playing the class not as much fun as live is now.
