Ghostcrawler Say What!?!?
Alright, so this is starting up. Here we are being nerfed from the getgo and now GC comes out on the forums and says:
Hunter pve dps is definitely something we’re keeping an eye on. It’s high and perhaps too high, but we need to see some more players raiding first. - Ghostcrawler
After much QQ and more whining. We get a little more insight into what GC is thinking about.
We definitely don’t think it’s a good design to inflate a whole class in PvE if they are weak in PvP or vice versa. If hunters are weak in PvP, as many of the hunters suspect, then we want to handle that as a separate issue. A Steady Shot nerf for example, would have less impact on PvP than reducing dps across the board, and we would certainly be prepared to compensate hunters in other ways for PvP.
Again, we have not announced any changes. There is no hotfix incoming. We don’t think this is a hotfix worthy issue. Standard caveats to all that apply. - Ghostcrawler
Now I know that he didn’t say it was imminent but neither did he say this about JOW nerf. How many tweaks do they need to do and why pick on us? I’m hearing about DK’s out dpsing hunters, locks, shammies you name it. But now more for us? All because of some QQ from non-hunters.
I’m not one to rant, but this is a bit ridiculous. Come one GC!! Stop with the nerf bat and maybe look at others. The only thing we do is DPS if we’re great at it, so be it. But every time we get something together and start climbing our way back to the top, people complain and out comes the nerf bat.. /sigh…
Anyways, you can bet that this is on our watch list and we’ll keep you informed as to what happens. And if a nerf comes our way, you know we’ll work hard to find other ways to climb back to the top.
