Kalgan, if this is true, how exactly will pets scale with gear? I remember in an earlier post Eyonix said that hunter and warlock pets will be scaling with gear. Is this true? If so so, then how so?

By the way, nice job on the talents. I freaking can't decide how I'm going to distribute my talents :>

Am I the only one that has thought about this....Misdirection on some Alliance bastage, Multishot 9 surrounding mobs...bye bye Ally :)

"I just got ganked!"
"By what?"
"Some damn hunter and his 9 pets...how the hell did he get 9 pets!?!?!"

---

Q u o t e:
Kalgan, please answer... will trap talents effect snake trap anjd how? :)

---

As listed..


*Hunter talents will affect snake trap as they are listed*

Clarification on Improved Barrage please:

Is Improved Barrage an ADDITIONAL 15% to Multishot on top of the 15% given by Barrage?

meaning, if you get both Barrage and Improved Barrage...you get +15% Damage to Volley, +30% Damage to Multi-Shot, and 100% Chance to not lose Casting Time on Volley.

right?

will Silencing Shot damage apply to mobs/bosses that cant be silenced?

i know when i try to use scatter shot on some mobs all i get is "Immune" no effect and no damge.

imp barrage is +15% crit.

I guess I am confused about one thing. Why is "Go for the Throat" a marksman talent? I see that a critical strike procs it but its doesn't do anything really productive for marksmanship. Its a beastmaster talent in the wrong tree.

Be nice to know if we are getting extra pet slots too....

---

Q u o t e:


It can be used in a 5 person party too.

---

what about somebody not in your party :)

---

Q u o t e:
Kalgan, now that this talent will be in the survival tree, please don't design raid encounters that assume all hunters have a 41 yard range. With the pet buffs, and these talent changes, not all of us are going to have Hawk Eye anymore.

---

Given the talents just released, I think that's what they're hoping for (that we all don't have it.) I dont' think this is gonna be something we have to worry about...

---

Q u o t e:


What exactly is so bad about the talents? Hunters were already pretty good, now we have the raid/pet viability we have been asking for. Freaking troll.

---

Agreed.

a couple of the new marksman talents are pretty weak and why silencing shot in the marksman tree?

can i use it on bosses?


wtb a deathcoil type shot instead and/or a spirit bond type ability for marksman..an ability to sac/dismiss pet for a dps/damage output increase.

any word on what will happen to pvp epic armor? will it be scaled again so we can still use it? or will it gather dust once we put on a few levels?

Just want to reiterate the request for info on how pets will scale, and with what stats.

Also, info on whether or not blessing of might and battle shout will once again work on ranged attack power would be very nice.

Any preview about what the new high end ammo will look like as well? (Or are we still going to be turning those damned thorium shells in to the nice NPC in IF to get thorium arrows for our bows and xbows...)

I think you have cleared up just about everything else though.

EDIT: Pet scaling questions already asked multiple times...nvm. :P

No chance of putting it on our pet if we're not in a party? :D

Few concerns:

Why is Hunter's Mark still so Underpowered?

Why is Silencing Shot, A gimmick talent, at the top of the DPS tree? why not have a useful one...

Is Lightning reflexes going to get buffed to amke up for the loss in the value fo Agility

How are Pets going to scale?

Can Bosses be Dazed by Concussive Barrage?

Will Rapid Killing Work When we are at the level cap?


And Lastly, Kalgan, have my babies.

Still wondering what items will be changed for the agi/ap differnce. All agi items ? or just the tier sets?
