But when I saw this, i just stopped and *facedesk*-ed.
Why, why, why, Blizzard, are you taking mana away from hunters? Giving them focus that regenerates over time will be just like making a ranged rogue class. I prefer being able to frontload masses of damage and then just sit there quietly with AotV ticking away in the background whilst the mages drink and the tanks go afk. With this new "improvement" hunter rotations will not only have to be altered, they'll have to be completely rethought. For example, my survival rotation is:
Hunter's Mark
Explosive Shot
Serpent Sting
Black Arrow
Steady Shot
Explosive Shot (repeated if the Black Arrow DoT procs Lock and Load)
Rinse and repeat.
With each shot costing 12 focus, that's 60 focus down the drain in seconds, leaving you reeling as the other dps laugh at you.
I can see the other point of view, though, and i have compiled a list of reasons why people like the idea:
- Makes them less of a hybrid class, and means they can focus on Agi and Stam instead of having Int into the bargain too
- Means they might be able to stock up on Str as well, meaning they could well get better in melee (this one was given to me by a level 16 hunter who was kicked out of the guild shortly after this suggestion)
- No Downtime
- One more spot on the Action Bar where AotV used to be
...any comments?
Feel free to scorn each and every point i've made. I'm not going to come and haunt you to the end of your days.
