2 Agi = 1 AP

j/k

Don't scare me like that!

I wish they would scale on agility though, as opposed to RAP.

Q u o t e:
Can we chance Wyvern Sting such that it's useful for CC? Make the DoT one time damage that also scales with RAP. Or remove the damage, add a snare effect, and reduce the mana cost slightly? A reduced casting time or reduced CD time would make it more popular as well.

Well it's not going to hit everything you want, but we are planning to change Wyvern Sting so that it will be instant cast.

Q u o t e:
There are quite a few changes in 2.3 for all classes, even Hunters. They're not all nerfs even!

For example, Serpent Sting, Immolation Trap and Explosive Trap are going to gain additional damage based on ranged attack power. I think everyone enjoys scaling.

as a druid i have one simple question wuts a scalin?

Great answers from a blue on the hunter forums? Please stick around, I love you already.

I hate to QQ all ready, but I just want to point out that the spec that can enhance its trap damage the most is also the class likely to have the lowest RAP... Please take this into consideration because it wouldnt make sense for marks hunters to have a better damage trap then a survival hunter. (probably the same skills that improve trap damage also add an improved RAP scalar for that dmg)

Thanks

P.S. I point this out so quickly because this kind of trap scaling has been proposed for a "long" time and this point was made in those discusions.

Who is this guy with the blue font? I've never seen something like that before... There should be a mistake..

You just made me grow large in the pants.

Because at least now I can use it as an interupt instead of just as a way to force ppl to blow their trinkets!!

Could be useful, though it's already a pretty fast cast if I remember correctly. I'm not certain what the effect is. For CC usually cast time isn't as much an issue as DURATION.

Actually Serpent Sting should scale on base weapon damage since it's a shot. From a realism standpoint, a bow that hits harder can deliver a deeper sting.

Fire and immolation trap could scale on agility. Scaling them on ranged attack power makes no sense, since they aren't ranged skills.

SWEET, and by sweet, I mean perfect. WS has a lot of detractors currently, Long cooldown, implicit diminishing returns due to damage, long cast. Improving any one of these is awesome and will be a welcome addition to pvp/arena and BGs.
