Helloooooo blizzard what are you doing tone these classes down in arenas already, S12 will be a disaster if nothing is done, so much for a PvP expansion..

There have already been a number of changes made and issues fixed with hunters and warriors. Hunters have had a couple of bug fixes, a nerf and some other changes happen to their class, this should tone down their burst and healing done through Spirit Mend from Stampede. Warriors have had their Charge and Warbringer stuns changed so that they now correctly apply diminishing returns which should help with lowering their ability to lock down a target in stuns.

We are watching to see how these and other hotfixes will play out on the live realms and hope to see a positive effect from them. There are also several changes that we want to test out on the PTR, but they may be deployed earlier than patch 5.1 :)

That's apples and oranges.

Hunters. People wanted you to take care of hunter burst. Did you do it? No. You did a couple of other changes, none of which have an appreciable effect on hunter burst. Stop pretending you listened to us and reduced hunter burst, because you did no such thing.

Warriors. People wanted you to take care of warrior burst. Did you do it? No. You fixed a bug with two warrior stuns. This is a welcome, but pretty minor change. You did nothing as regards burst as yet, nothing at all. Stop pretending you listened to us and reduced warrior burst, because you did no such thing.

Frankly, yours trying to say that you "already" fixed some of the problems we were complaining about is insulting. We aren't stupid. The changes you are pointing out are miniscule and do NOT address the issues we are complaining about the most.

Do not take what I have said as these are the only changes that we will make and we stop here. I even mentioned in the paragraph that you did not quote that there is more that we are looking into doing, but we want to test these out on the PTR first.
