It's RIDICULOUS how cheap hunters are now. Blizz has been nerfing every single class except hunters forever.


They got nerfed a few patches ago. Arcane shot and mostly marksmanship nerfs, so it was primarily a nerf to people who knew what they were doing, i.e. not beast mastery hunters.

3. Mana drain shot: this drains a LOT of mana for not a lot of expense, plus it's instant cast - you can shoot it on the run. 2 or 3 of these will wipe out every advantage a paladin has except armor. Clothies who have recklessly spent their mana getting across the BG in the first place are made into delightful EZ Mode snacks. It is the bane of healers and the only way to crack a turtling crowd of pallys and priests. Really only warlocks get a free pass on that one.

Viper sting against paladins is a retarded move. If they don't cleanse that shit off, the paladin is a goddamned moron and you could kill him with an immolation trap and a level 9 flamingo pet. In fact, if you want to talk about something that will definitely get some laffs, hit a paladin with a rank 1 serpent just so he cleanses it off and burns his mana to remove a 60 damage dot. The only use for viper sting is against shamans and other hunters.

4. Second target: believe it or not, a lot of players will attack the pet instead of the hunter. Hahaha! Even though the pet has 50% more HP, 100% more armor, and only does 60% as much damage. Hahaha!

You're playing against 40 year old mouse clickers squinting at the monitor with their reading glasses on who just got the game or absolute braindead morons. It's not funny, it's tiresome just thinking about it. And if your pet has 50% more HP than you or does 60% as much damage, you're playing your character wrong.

6. The whole BM tree is full of unvarnished cheapness: you get the ability that gives your pet a 100% chance to get a 30% attack speed increase for 10 seconds after a crit, then the ability that makes your pet attack 20% faster just generally (oh yeah, it also makes YOU attack 20% faster generally), then the ability that gives everybody in your party a 3% increase to all types of damage after your pet crits. DYK? If you have Ferocious Inspiration and maxed Frezy + Serpent's Swiftness, FI procs constantly. And everything just mentioned is completely free. No mana cost, no casting time, no need to hit a single button. It just happens. Being a hunter is very economical. And easy.


None of this stuff is worth losing the much higher damage of marksmanship, or the added survivability from deterrence/entrapment. Beast mastery is for leveling, noob trashbags, and girls that play games. It's terrible. Gently pat porkchop all you want, beast mastery sucks dick.
