Patch 4.3.2 notes

Hunters


* Aspect of the Hawk now grants roughly 35% more attack power.

* Deterrence now also reduces damage taken by 30% while active.

* Black Arrow now ticks every 2 seconds for 20 seconds, as opposed to every 3 seconds for 15 seconds. The total damage dealt by the ability is unchanged.

* Lock and Load no longer benefits Arcane Shot, nor is it consumed by Arcane Shot.

Since I'm now playing Surv for raiding purposes, this'll be nice...

Edit - All the hunter comments in that blog make me chuckle lol

I thought Deterrence deflected everything as it was ? I don't get the change..

[MaximumOverdrive]

It didn't deflect AoEs I think...cause I'd use it during Elementium Bolt in Madness and still take full damage.

[Kalliope]

Also, DoTs and such already on you would still tick fully.

I love all these changes.

More attack power with Hawk more than makes up for the buff to Trueshot Aura and other similar buffs where melee get an extra 10% attack power while ranged attack power was unchanged. Why they don't just make Trueshot 20% for both melee and ranged attack power I don't know, but this is even better.

Deterrence now to be able to be used like Barkskin helps with survivability issues we have. I always hated my guild telling me to Deterrence during high damage times but it NEVER worked such as Elementium Bolt on Deathwing, Nefarian's Electrocute, taking a shard on Baleroc, etc.

Having Black Arrow tick for the same amount as Explosive Trap now makes Black Arrow much more useful for proccing Lock and Load.

Taking Arcane Shot off of Lock and Load is great. I have wasted so many Lock and Load because I was focus dumping.

[Nightsights]

those are all good changes.

It didn't deflect AoEs I think...cause I'd use it during Elementium Bolt in Madness and still take full damage.

the initial blast when it lands or the aoe tick afterwards? i know for sure it blocks 100% of the initial blast, b/c for the 4th platform when we dont have Nozdormu's time shield to slow the elementium bolt, the rest of my raid stands under the wing and pop cd's (further away = less dmg) while i stay near the middle of the platform off to the edge and my hp stays at 100% while everyone else's hp drops a good chunk.

here's the log of our kill last week showing the elementium bolt. it landed 3 times, the one hit was probably the 1st platform when we used Dream. we killed one, that's why its only showing 3. then for me i have 2 misses under the De sub column, i'm guessing De = Deterrence or Deflected

other uses for deterrence

it doesnt seem to work for me on the gunship fight for soaking twilight onslaught

[MaximumOverdrive]

I was gunna say initial blast...when I used it, it didn't block any of the blast for me. We always kill the bolt on the first two platforms, then pop cds for the last two. But for me, the deterrence didn't block any of the bolt. I hadn't tried it for the onslaught blasts, but maybe I'll try now with the damage reduction.

[Derax]

Ya deterence has blocked the elementium bolt damage for me for a while, Pop it right before it hits the ground and you are good to go.

I do like the change too it should help with dots and back to back shrapnel.
The other buffs are very nice to, I am liking this patch.

[AdamSavage]
