I'm thinking the same thing if not from at least a practical point of view..

however, 21 point talent outperforming a 51 point talent probably wont last (if its the case).

I'm so excited about this change, i loved DW previously and while I adapted to the previous nerfs and ended up going 2handed I always missed DW builds. This should be very interesting to try out.

And it will also be interesting to see if the LifeTap glyph change pushes it back into the top 3 for Destro.

Yea this changes a lot... just... wow.

I mean BS w/ armor pen might even be the way to go... FS got a decent nerf.

IT PS OB BS BS - OB BS BS BS BS ? Haven't thought much about it. could be way off.

Yes I must say it puts a little tingle in my bones to think that DW be a more realistic option again, I guess once PTR is up the number crunchers will hit them and we will be flooded with a whole lot of info

This is from the upcoming 3.2 patch. Does this mean that it will proc every 22 sec regardless of BA? I don't understand it.
As it is, I go 4-5 miuntes sometimes without a single proc and get 2 procs in a row on a trash pull.

Traps now have separate 30 second cooldown categories: Fire (Immolation Trap, Explosive Trap and Black Arrow), Frost (Freezing Trap, Frost Trap) and Nature (Snake Trap). A hunter can have one trap of each category placed at one time.

This is also in the patch notes. Awesome change imo.

And the following are listed as buf fixes.

# Lock and Load: The tooltip for this talent has been updated to indicate that it also works with Explosive Trap.
# The tooltip for Improved Tracking has been slightly re-written to indicate that it only works on the hunter, and works on melee damage as well.
# T.N.T. (Rank 3): Now indicates that the talent works with Black Arrow.

Thank you for this, answered my previous question. :]

People pointing out most likely the buff is 50% increase to 18.5% which would be a reasonable and nice improvement to it. I honestly don't see our single target DPS changing that much, once we adjust.

But we'll have to see.

/agree

rotation will probably change, that's about it. DPS lost... a little. I think we all saw that coming. if you didn't... you're a little clueless.

It will, if my assumption is correct and we need to waste 2 points to put into desecration to get desolation. Where on earth do you remove the two points? It's harsh enough as is allocating points.

Seriously? Of any of the trees, Unholy had the most points to play with. Morbidity? 1 pt from WP/EP? don't be so dramatic.

I expected unholy's AE DPS to be impacted through an unholy blight nerf, but I did not expect single-target to be touched. Anyway, this is all baseless speculation until the PTR comes up.

I wish they'd just make a seperate pvp ruleset. I hate when pve stuff gets nerfed due to pvp balance.

Terian · 06/18/09, 4:20 PM

so there is a lot of good information here, and a lot of these interfaces look very slick - but this is the software side...

I am wondering from a hardware side how some of you set up stuff - I realize this is all personal preferences, but any ideas to cut reaction times are appreciated

1) What kind of mouse do you use - what spells do you bind to your multibutton mice and which buttons work best for you
2) Do you use a game controller?
3) do you use keyboard to navigate, if so arrow or letter keys?
4) what macros to you bind to which keys

etc etc etc.

Yubble · 06/18/09, 4:22 PM

Lol because pve was so balanced before?

Falhawk · 06/18/09, 4:23 PM

Well no, that's not what I meant.

Veras · 06/18/09, 4:24 PM

How far apart are awareness and vengeful heart right now? The unholy blight change alone is a straight buff to vengeful heart, and the possibility of using scourgestrike less is a potential awareness nerf.

Thomase · 06/18/09, 4:24 PM

No expectations of a dps increase related to the UB changes?

Oyboy · 06/18/09, 4:36 PM

i dont understand the new patch note!

with L&L is it possible to hit a boss with Explotion arrow or is it not with the L&L proc??

plz send me a message
