Then you can take bows/guns/crossbows and give them the stats of a 2 handed weapon or slightly better. Yes this is still a slight nerf to hunters but my main is a rogue....I've been nerfed since well...ALWAYS. There have been maybe 4 patches that have buffed us in any notable way. but I don't !@#$% I love my class, for the good and the bad.
anyway I hope my suggestion makes sense and I feel like it would really help this whole debacle. And hunters, you have to admit you guys get to need roll EVERYTHING pertaining to agi...it wont kill you to lose a primary weapon slot if the buff the bows themselves and take em away from rogues/warriors.
Spinebreaker
1. If you're not Affliction you can forget about being commonly accepted in PvP.
2. If you're satisfied with being the lowbie in DPS in dungeons, without being geared a lot higher than the others, you've picked the right class.
3. It's impossible to solo higher level/elite mobs with new leveling Warlocks that I used to solo when I was leveling this one up.
4. Making a new look for Soul Harvest didn't enhance game play one bit and shouldn't be considered a "buff".
5. With interrupts and stuns it's almost impossible to defeat a melee player in PvP 1v1. Even if you do everything right, they have to do something wrong. Basically, you throw some DoTs and Fel Flame, while not interrupted/stunned, then stand there and die. Channeling is not an option. Even Death Coil rarely seems to have its fear option work. Maybe someone can shed some light on this? Look, I don't consider myself a good PvP player with 'Locks since I never really got into it for these reasons but what do you do when all your "nukes" are denied?
Elune
Imagine if it WAS still like in vanilla or BC or whatever.
People could go up one tree and 1/2 way up another.What would be the whole point of talent trees then?They gotta separate the talents more and more too keep from just eliminating the entire point of these "trees".
