There have been a few hunter changes over the last week for balancing purposes:
Beast Mastery:
- Improved Focus Fire now grants a 5% increase to AP for every stack of Frenzy that had been consumed. (Dec 15)
- Kill Shot's damage has been reduced by 10% (Dec. 3)
Survival:
- Serpent Sting's damage has increased by 60% (Dec 15)
Marksmanship:
- Aimed Shot's damage has been reduced by 10% (Dec 3)
- Kill Shot's damage has been reduced by 10% (Dec 3)
We've had a week to play with the MM nerfs, and overall, they seem fair. We were doing really well on single target fights, and this wasn't enough to make us bad for single target, but we're slightly closer to the rest of the pack.
As for the other two specs, this will hopefully put them more in line with the rest of the classes. The Serpent Sting buff only represents about a 5% single target buff for SV, which won't be enough to bring it in line with MM single target, but it will be a much more significant buff to SV AoE.
The Focus Fire change, is frankly, huge. This will have fairly huge implications for PvP, as an already fairly bursty spec will be have even more to stack. It's also going to represent a significant buff to both BM AoE and Single Target in PvE.
On the Job with the blog post, keep up the good work. You are my favorite hunter blog and go to the top of my list. Thanks for what you do.
