Dear Blizzard: Undo the Beastmastery nerfs or the cow gets it. Signed, Scattered Shots (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/scattered-shots/).
So as you heard the other day, the dev team admits it. They were a little too overly enthusiastic in their nerfs (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/01/28/ghostcrawler-sorry-bm-hunters-our-bad/). Beast Mastery is too low, and will be seeing some buffs "before Ulduar," probably related to Serpent's Swiftness (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=34470)or Kindred Spirits (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=56318). Of course, Beastmastery Hunters could have told you a while ago that the nerfs were too much, and did. Ghostcrawler not only told us that we had the wrong numbers (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14133097398&sid=1&pageNo=8#147), but that it hardly mattered because everything would change with Ulduar (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14133097398&pageNo=1&sid=1#1) anyway. So to see him change to this degree is a little disorienting, I must admit.
But anyway, this column is not meant to rake Ghostcrawler across the coals. I think he's a pretty decent guy (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/01/12/the-ghostcrawler-experiment/) all around. Besides, it's not the first time he's put his foot in his mouth (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/10/15/ret-to-be-nerfed-to-the-ground/), and it probably won't be the last, either. Overall, I'm glad he's at least communicating, and that he, as the "face" of the dev team, is at least willing to come out and communicate and admit when they were wrong. What I'm really interested in is exactly where the class is going.Continue reading Scattered Shots: Hunter changes in 3.0.9 and 3.1 (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/01/29/scattered-shots-hunter-changes-in-3-0-9-and-3-1/)
