Volley is Back!! (for NPCs)

Unread post by evil950510 »

I have just started the quests for Lion's Landing and I notice that the Horde hunters are using good old volley as a attack, the hunter AOE that rain down arrows from the sky, which was removed in the begging of Cata. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT0TChTwuv4, What could this mean for the future of hunters?

There's still npc's that use volley. So unless they are players you see using it, I wouldn't get excited. If they are players.. Well then let's throw a welcome home party!
Once we're sure we're getting it, of course. Don't want anyone disappointed.

Yeah NPC's are never subject to class changes or the good old nerfbat. Actually, though, I don't miss volley that much since I dislike channeled abilities. (except for tame beast of course).

Yeah, I've seen other NPC's using it. We still have to pay attention to use our AoE. ;P

have not seen any other NPCs using it so thought it was unique. Funny part is the Horde Hunters use guns to fire arrows.

You might want to change the thread topic a tad since now it's very misleading. ;P

I adjusted the title a little by adding "(for NPCs)" to the end. So people don't get too excited. But it's well spotted anyway :)

I would love if they would bring it back and make it like DnD but for hunters.

Subetai uses Volley in Mogu'shan Vaults (in a much different form than we're used to), so I wouldn't be too terribly excited. XD

I use barrage nowadays despite the rare random unwanted agro cause dby stray bullets. Having said, I very much dislike to channel cast and I only tolerate barrage because it makes me feel like a gattling-gun-wielding Tinker!

But I do however wish BM's beast cleave is a real cleave, lol
