WOW nerfage and future Class plans

Post by **Lyion** » Sat Aug 21, 2004 12:16 pm

Well, seeing Warriors, Mages, and Priests were nerfed, it makes me wonder what the exact class design for each of these is, and if WOW is overconcerned with hamstringing levelling..

The Hunter class really does not seem to offer very much. The pet is a weak DOT, and has one ability, taunt. All tamed pets are essentially clones of each other. I really hope Blizzard has a lot more planned, because as of now this class is asstastic.

I hope there is a bigger change in store, and we don't just see more watering down of classes until release.

I really hope Blizzard focuses more on the fun aspect, and doesn't keep changing things to be more vanilla and levelcentric..

Have you played much during this patch? Priests are still badass with their talents. Everyone knows that Holy Word: Shield was overpowered and would be nerfed. Other than that they are still badasses. Mages were hardly nerfed as well. If you talk to any of the high level mages they will tell you that they're just as powerful as they were before.

I tried to start a hunter, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I love my warlock. Maybe they will come out with another class in beta that will pique my interests.

I have a level 10 Hunter. The class needs work, but is ok.

Hunters are awesome?

Considering they tank just as well as druids and shamans cant heal or nuke, dont tank like a warrior and dont DPS like rogues, mages or warlocks, what the crap do they do? Oh they solo good cause their pet is pretty strong so every fucking moron hunter I group with disengages so his pet/me the fucking healer takes all the agro while he sits in the corner with his gun shooting away like a fucking noob thinking he does a lot of dmg when a warrior in defensive does more.

Are hunters awesome? No. Are hunters the single worse class in the game? You bet. If one asked to group with me I tell em to fuck off so maybe somewhere down the line he will feel bad and stop playing his hunter, and everything in the world will be right again.

Hunters suck hardcore. If they get decent talents and decent pet skills they might be half as good as a warlock, right now they're the worst class by far...and that's saying a lot.

Can they heal Tikker?

Can they Nuke?

Do they have decent DPS?

Do they tank?

Do their Pets tank?

Right, they have really awesome debuffs like all ranged attacks do more dmg so you will never see one within 100 feet of a mob.

Awesome.
