Comments on: Gaah! Hide!! Patch 3.0.8 Live! http://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com/2009/01/gaah-hide-patch-308-live/ A gathering place for WoW hunters who have paid their dues Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:24:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Shadedragonhttp://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com/2009/01/gaah-hide-patch-308-live/#comment-626 Shadedragon Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:05:23 +0000 http://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com/?p=759#comment-626 Okay initial note comparisons from numbers i had before to now. I'm sitting on 31% crit, ~4k ap and 264 hit - hit is just above max cap I know. and I have about 120 haste and 7% armor pen. I could easily pull 3200 dps prepatch. with my pet doing 1-1.5k of that dps. Now my pet does somewhere around 400dps and with my pet doing 1800 dps. I don't know about anyone else but I think they adjusted more than they wanted to or I just had a shitty run in a heroic... but that's a BIG drop in pet dps and - but i'm definately crying and waiting to try it out in raid... I guess I'm gonna be going MM after tonight and wait for Blizz to realize how stupid they are in the nerfs. Okay initial note comparisons from numbers i had before to now.

I don't think pets get our haste bonus either else that would make some other classes that stack it much more powerful with pets....which wouldn't make sense in the BM community. It'd be nice to see something like that added to the SS talent though considering all the nerfs we've received.

I thought it meant that now the Hunter's Attack power is unchanged. Personally, I don't have TOO much haste on the gear I have, so thankfully, I dont have to worry about it! Thanks for clearing that up! /selfkick

That being said, who here doesn't have at least some extra haste on their gear anyway? It's on just about everything. Serpent Swiftness change is to pet only, not us, so no worry about haste gear.

Swiftness. Enjoy finding more haste gear all! - All the nerfs to pet damage. I thought the BIG change was to Steady Shot, and missed the various hits to pet damage. One question...does Kindred Spirits still give the movement speed buff to the hunter?
