    PTR Update: Readiness Nerf

    Readiness now finishes the cooldowns on Rapid Fire, Feign Death, Deterrence, Disengage, and Camouflage when activated (was all Hunter abilities with a base cooldown of less than 5 minutes).

    Explosive Trap no longer shares a cooldown with Black Arrow but can no longer activate Lock and Load.

    Watch them not even buff our damage to compensate.

    I want compensation immediately or I will re roll.

    Made a post about it on the NA PTR Discussion forum. This is concerning in that Survival and Marks already aren't doing very good then this change comes in and will be a pretty noticeable nerf to Beast Mastery PvE. There needs to be compensation for this.

    http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/9344564465

    For NA posters, have some discussion there and hopefully we'll get some attention on this. It's a great change for PvP but it concerns me a bit as Blizzard doesn't have a good track record when it comes to this class and compensating or giving actual damage fixes.

    Hunters dont need compensation for this. They need more nerfs!


    Infracted - Please do not come into a class forum with the intention to just flame the class.

    More nerfs for being right in the middle of the charts?

    We could all roll Mage/locks in response. Since they're doing such a good job of messing with things this patch. /sigh. really don't want to main switch in the final tier again....

    It might also be interesting to look at this combined with the new tier set bonuses. It looks to me that in PvE the only use for readiness will be to reset rapid fire, which will already get cooldown reductions from arcane shot and multi-shot.

    And I'm worried about the effect on soloing. I personally use exhilaration quite a lot when soloing to get out of sticky situations. Not being able to reset it might cause some problems.

    This makes our opener totally boring. We will lose so much damage it's not even funny. I expect some upcoming buffs. They wouldn't just do that without compensation.

    So we're going back to the early Cata method of dropping Freezing trap for more crit damage. I can deal with that. I'll see how it Sims out b4 making an "OMG, they nerfed my class to the ground" forum thread.

    Just need to Glyph of No Escape and viola, 100% crit on every shot.

    Well of course. This guy mainly talks about PvP in general with simple-minded answers anyway, disregarding the majority of PvE.

    You read that wrong. Freezing Trap is our CC trap, not slow trap and neither affects bosses.

    Looks like they wanted to tone down the opener burst. I suspect they'll give some buffs to sustained damage to compensate.

    You have to remember that this is blizzard we are talking about. There will be a 5% buff to AoTH and they will call it fixed.

    You're right. I did read that wrong. But even though the Frost trap didn't slow bosses, if they stood in it, it still was critting regardless(In Late Wrath, early Cata ofc)
    Maybe they'll change the glyph to Frost trap? Beta not out yet, guess we'll see.

    That would make it too powerful though. The proposed change to this glyph will simply guarantee a crit on the CC'd target, which you could say is a long overdue 'fix' over the mere +20% crit on the first ability you use on the frozen target.

    Thats the attitude! now hunters, flood the forums such as locks did with KJC and you shall obviously receive a much smaller nerf compared to this one

    Im starting to feel really dissapointed of how hunters are treated in this expansion.They obviously have absolutely no direction and no idea of what they re buffing/nerfing they just listen blindly to people's QQ and that hurts the class a lot.If they want to proceed with that nerf they really need to come with something ideal to compensate this class cant suffer more nerfs at its current state.
