This does look like a nerf but Boubouille had said that a lot of stuff has been previously buffed to boost some classes on live servers.

I also say some discussion that these changes might not include additional scaling yet. *shrug* We'll see I suppose.

This is one of those moments where reading data-mined material can be sorely misleading. I talked a bit about these changes yesterday here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/threa ... 1&sid=1#14

Most of these abilities have not changed for level 80+, however, they've been changed to scale from 1-79. As an example, Ambush deals a flat 190% weapon damage on live realms. With these changes, it now deals 90% weapon damage when first learned, and increases up to 190% again by the time you hit level 80.

We made these adjustments because healing and damage-dealing at low levels has been way too powerful. These changes will make more sense when you get into the game and see for yourself.

Ok here is an updated and fixed version of changes.

Yeah, basically those non-changes show what the stats will be when you start out with a new hunter. Leveling just got more challenging. :-)
