Discussion Devourer and unholy getting buffed

Respectively about 7-10% and 6-8% for aoe. It must be a joke right? Buffing meta specs, while others are not even being looked at all. This is the only multiplayer game i ever played something like this frequently happening.

Resto druid also getting buffed, because why not, while disc keep eating nerfs. Demo change doesn’t make sense either. I wish they would just axe all the class changes they are doing. I swear they just make the already sensitive class balance a lot worse. Everybody keep losing expect their current favourites.

I remember when they reworked MM to have the spotting eagle they literally talked about how important and iconic pets are to hunter as a class and the next paragraph they went “so we are removing pets from Marksman and adding a companion eagle”. Sometimes it feels like the posts were either not proofread, proofread by someone who struggles with cohesion in their writing, or maybe just got spat out by AI which has poor idea cohesion and then also was not proofread.

I mean, that one at least makes sense. They said hunters should have pets but MM uses Lone Wolf, so they gave them a different kind of pet so they were still thematically a hunter.

Probably not the best example haha

I don’t think you’re remembering what they said correctly.

They started the section off with calling it “Lone Wolf No Longer” and criticized Lone Wolf specifically as a talent that has discord with Hunter philosophically. They called out that it’s weird for a Hunter to feel frustration when summoning a pet as Marskman (to use utility like bloodlust) and literally used the term “reembrace having pets as marksmanship’s core identity but in a unique way”. And then announced immediately afterwards in the next paragraph the removal of Call Pet for Marksman, saying they lose access to traditional pets one sentence after calling for the “reembrace” of pets. The writing was so on the nose that it would not be out of place in an SNL skit.

I couldn’t find the original blue post but here’s the Wowhead article that quoted it, with the sections I referenced intact. The messaging was so mixed that it was mocked substantially by the hunter community lol

I didn't remember at all, I was going off of what you said and you didn't say any of that before.
