So many haters and nay sayers!!! If you all think Blizzard is so incompetent why do you pay them every month? Listen if you’ve been playing hunters for 5 years and have only complaints about the class then you should welcome changes. If you’ve been playing 5 years and love everything about the class then don’t worry obviously Blizzard has taken care of you and will continue to do so. Is it gonna be strange? yes. Confusing? probably. Impossible to relearn? no way.

You may have to change your playstyle a bit but really thats nothing we havent done before. Honestly I and many of my WoW friends enjoy digging into our classes and understanding the mechanics and not just how things work but what makes them work just as much as the actual game play. Now I’m not saying that everyone should love theorycrafting and such but honestly if you are here, a little work understanding your class changes shouldnt be as daunting a task as some make it seem.

Has Uncle Blizzie gotten it all right? No, but this is an opportunity to really improve on our class. There are some very welcomed changes and some apparently cosmetic changes but in the end don’t let the prospect of change turn you immediately against the result. Deep breaths hunter brethren for this is the time in which we steel ourselves against the possibility of being stabled with the lowely and whining ret paladins. Adapt and overcome friends, your dues are eternal as is their reward.

So focus will mean a nerf for hunters in PvP, since you have to use a lot abilities quickly…

The big question is will haste rating affect the global cooldown on hunters shots.

Iv been playing a hunter since i first started WoW in 2005 when i was 10 and iv realized the class has gotten increasingly better thru the years but i also realize that more and more noobs are mking are class cuz they think its cool to have a pet or w.e.with the new focus thing i think its gonna be hard as hell to learn the class and i think its gonna take a crapload of patches to get it set right and it really was a unnecesarry change that tards brought on.iv also heard about having 3 active pets wich will make more and more noobs choose our class =/.in longterm i think cata is gonna suck horribly personally )=
(btw can someone tell me if the 3 active pets is true?)

if it works dont fix it, is my filosofy.I enjoy every moment with my hunter atm, and dont think it needs to be revamped to energy user.

and secondary i dont see Hunter just as pure DPS, we are the raids special task force..:)

Well, i feel that whit mana gone, hunters are going to be a more skilled class, because we gonna deal whit two kinds of management, proc timers/spells plus Focus gains/losses. But youre right Frostheim, its exciting and damm scary. And another thing, how are they gonna compensate the lack of ArP in gear when Cat comes, cause ArP is all over our gear.

Actually… all hybrid classes dps will be greatly nerfed… This mean no OP rets running around or no druid kitties doing wtf damage, so expect Rogue/hunter/mage/Lock to be at Numero uno position at all times..

I know it makes me sound like a retard, but I can’t see me playing my hunter in Cata., I love hunters as it is, I can never see me rerolling and getting it to 80 because I love the way hunters feel, however something seems different. Spamming steady shot to get enough focus for 2 shots?..
When I watched Blizzcon on the internet, it sounded immense that they were getting rid of mana and AP, making agility the tits, however, when I think about it now, focus seems pointless..

Seems like a DK, Rogue or Warrior for me

Cataclysm good or bad.?
I am looking forward to the “new” WoW.
I know that its still work in progress and that this page is just for Hunters.
But why is Horde +2 when it comes to Race and Class Combinations.?
But what I would like to know is if anyone knows anything about Worgen & Goblins Hunter Class race special abilities (link: Dwarf’s: The additional five skill levels to Gun skill)
I hope that in Cataclysm the leveling is more fun or if they make that you can start any Class att lvl 55 like DK, and perhaps make a Class history quest’s like with DK’s. Not going to be this time around but perhaps oneday or not.

Can you thank Frostheim tomuch thanks m8

Bahhhh….!
Why they want to change hunters….and not other classes that can do everythink(tank-heal-dps)…….we are pure DPSers…..thats only we can do….and always nerf….!!!
Blizzard have to deside and give to the game a certain route…..a lot of ppl is gonna reroll….or stop the game if Blizz fuck with characters…..
Nerf DKs……and palladins…….about 1 year+they are OP……and they can do everythink(exept heal DKs)
Wtf are we gonna do????Respec to raid buffers….and look our pet doing the DMG???
Really me and a lot of players will stop the game……Blizz should consider it and not touch characters…..or change the OP…….cause it will fail!
