Hunters/retri paladins/shadow priests does about same dps.
I would gladly take hand of protection/sacrifice/freedom/salvation.. all the defensive and healing talents + lay on hands..
instead of 8% ap buff (10% on top on 125%).. 5-6% overall damage.
Same with priests - you don't realize what you have before you loose it.
Hunters are pure dps class with ZERO raid utility/cd - we deserve those 5-6% dps on top of hybrids with raid CDs and offhealing.
And don't start about hunter pet buffs - those are NOT raid utility/CD. Any serious raidgroup has every buff without our pets.
Misdirection is useless(tanks NEVER loose agro).
Ice traps remove other slows(we are not allowed to use them).
Aspect of the daze is even worse - we have to sacrifice 20% of our damage.. Last and only time cheetah was useful in raiding - icc, hagara.
Only reason why i stick to my hunter - i love it!
I love shooting arrows.
But from raid perspective - we could use a raid cd!
We are pure dps with ZERO useful raid utility/CD. We get benched all the time, not stacked like other pure dps classes.
Can't remember last time we were on top - we deserve it!
