Incoming Hunter Nerfbat

the only NON nerf listed is the change to the Cooldown on Spirit Strike from an exotic pet that almost no one has (Xandar being the only one I have seen to date).

They are overkilling the dps issue. It is an issue with one specific spec (50/21 - readiness currently affects Beastial Wrath), and one specific pet (a non-exotic cat - specifically the rake ability). The only overall nerf should really be to Volley. This is hitting the class with a howitzer when a 0.22 caliber targeted change would do it. Lower AP applied from the hunter on Rake and on Volley, and make Readiness not affect BM "spells". Problem solved.

I have not seen my dps (spec = 51/20) and Spirit beast (no rake) out dps many others by a noticeable amount, at least with decent players. Not sure why this is such a must have by Blizzard.
 
Just as a follow-up : I was in a 5- man yesterday where I was 3rd on dps (druid and ret pally). At least I beat the tank......

I rarely get top dps from Heroic capable groups at the moment. I went to the 25 man Vault instance, and was 5th or 6th in dps. Top two dps were two mages, I don't know their spec.

Ya, Hunter dps is SOOOO uber *sigh*
 
A good friend of mine is a Marks hunter, and in his guild is a BM Hunter who does consistently 4000dps on trash, bosses, everything, pet dps included.

Now I don't know where this falls in relation to other raid-geared dps classes, but my friends says it's on the high side.
 
yup, as I said, I bet he was 50/21 and using a cat....its the only problem besides volley. the base volley isnt an issue, but now the tics can crit.
