2.3 Patch....Hunter's GOT FIXED

Oh yessireee,

I am one happy hunter:
- 3.0s Aimed Shot with MS
- No deadzone, ranged attacks minimum range reduced to 5 yards
- Dispell on arcane shot
- Insta-sleep Wyvern sting
- Scaling of Stings and Trap dmg from AP! (Semi useful dots)
- Resiliance on DoTs

Huge changes imo. Actually made duelling enjoyable. Keen to try out some 2v2 arenas, where I'll probably just get back in my box :p

Two patches in a row with massive buffs to hunters. Show's how badly we needed the buffs I guess. I can see cries for nerf coming our way soon though.

PS: The healing to +dmg change was a little over the top - i'm sporting 600+dmg in 1400 heal gear.[/quote]

Guess that makes us just about even im 950 dmg with 1000heals :/

i don't understand - how is 600 +dmg over the top?

As with resto shamans, even though we got the equivalent spell dmg, untalented, we're slower and don't crit as often. I think it worked outs fair enough

But yeah I'm luving this 20% Lighting Overload business. Sure they nerfed my lighting spell dmg overall by a bit (say a 100-200dmg - which can translate to about 300ish per crit) but every 5 hits, i get a double shot (which can also crit, mana free, and threat-less)

But i got in return
* free 609 mana per minute (water shield)
* 50 MP5 mana spring totem (untalented, up from 30 MP5 - talent, it gets to 65ish MP5)
* NEVER ENDING FROST SHOCKS BIATCH!

I guess shamans are so used to getting hit with the nerf bat, it's a change not getting hit so hard for once, and getting buffed a lil too!

I did a lil experimenting with the new water shield + mana spring, and basically even when totally OOM, i can still cast rank 4 healing wave continuously - which equals to a 1.5k heal with my gear Smile

hay guys
We got the royal ramming up the ring gear again (Mages)
All we got was a a few minor changes and a meal table spell ... whoopee
The best thing they did was restore back the penaly they put in place for imp fireball.
The second best was changing evoc to 15% per 2 sec instead of being spirit based this gives 60% back instead of about 45%.
Third the mana regen during combat skill went for max 15% to now 30% so you rein more mana during casting.
Lastly a few spells (the protection ones) had a dam co-efficient added but of course they reduced the base so it didn't change too much bloody typical.
Blizz hates mages this class is officaly useless were nothing but a second rate damage dealer with bugger all health and no armour If it wasn't for sheep you wouldn't have one.
