Dear Blizzard, I miss volley...

[harky]

Dear Blizzard,

Please ignore people who want to bring Volley back. BM relying on their pet for AOE and MM having no reasonable AOE without high Mastery sucks, but Volley was horrible. Please give BM and MM something as interesting as Serpent Spread so that they can be competitive on Magmaw and other fights which require lots of AOE. Or rather, please just buff BM and MM so they're competitive at anything. Just don't bring back Volley. It sucked.

Yours Truly... some random Hunter.

Seriously... Volley sucked. No one would use it even if they brought it back. Serpent Spread is better.

Signed!

Seriously, the only advantage old Volley had was in the specific situation of being forced to stack up on a spot in a group/raid with AoE trash gathered on top of you. You could still Volley at your feet!

The new Multi-Shot does not involve summoning a shower of magical arrows from the sky after firing your GUN into the clouds. The new Multi-Shot is usable while moving. Except in the very specific situation given above, you can kite while AoEing.

Hunters can now use every damage-dealing ability but auto-shot without standing still. Why does nostalgia or fear of change compel people to beg for nerfs?

Go Survival and spam multi shot

Real reason why i miss Volley, is because im pretty sure that Multi-Shot is causing my ranged weapon lose durability really fast. I basically always avoid repair costs with Feign Death, but i still have to repair my bow all the time.

Volley was awful. I'd rather be launching traps and weaving in Multishots. Much more interesting than hitting a button every 6 seconds through an entire heroic.

Play a Shadow priest then come back

ok done, i miss volley still. now what

[Thereign]

I don't care about volley for PvE, I just wish I could break stealth with something other than flare.

[Koumaru]

for a start 99% of mobs in the game are freaking melee so u have to consistently be told by your character that the targets too close

Here's a tip. Try kiting/strafing next time. Problem solved. The alternative you're asking for in old Volley is to be surrounded by mobs that can each crit your face for 5-10% of your life in a single hit. I don't know about you, but I'd rather kite and be alive when the mobs die than channel Volley and be dead before its completion.

and its not always easy to aim traps... especially in pvp

Never had the slightest problem with that in PvE or PvP. Are you using a keybind or clicking on your ability bar?

Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention before. Unlike Volley, Multi-Shot doesn't disable your auto-shots.

Multi Shot and Explosive trap is more than enugh and if you are survival you also put Serp Sting on them so how many more dps you need ? :P

[melodramocracy]

Volley was taken away because it was too much like magic in a physical dps class.

In return, we received completely plausible infinite bags of arrows, and a catapault for our equally infinite bags of diamondbacks, liquid nitrogen, and napalm. Oh, and predator mode.

So uhh... yeah.... too much magic.

[manniefaces]

Dude it's gone get over it. Multi shot is plenty good enough. Adapt once you do will not look back.

[Fahrenheit]

Multi Shot is good, real good. If you know the pack is coming and you don't have to worry about CC. Lay down some traps ahead of time too.

[Hyde]

Bm has worm and chimaera, surv has serpent spread and traps, and mm's multi shot is powerful, so I don't think we need volley, just better macros lol

[Deleted]

Us being the only class that can move and constantly aoe at range, and our AoE being VERY good... Dont see why you complain? HF kiting worms on Magmaw with volley

[Bigshotz]

I was disappointed with the change myself at first but have come to like the aoe dps of multi shot its just not very affective on 3 targets or less. Traps are still a pain though.

Neither was volley really.
