PTR 3.3.3 Hunter Changes [Updated 3/10]
Re: PTR 3.3.3 Hunter Changes [Updated 2/24]
It's been a while since I ran a logged raid so I don't know what fraction Steady is these days, but since the pet, auto shot, Serpent Sting, Arcane and Multi/Aimed won't be affected by this buff, my inclination is that the Steady buff will be an addition to the talent rather than a replacement for the effect it already has on Arcane.

Re: PTR 3.3.3 Hunter Changes [Updated 2/24]
But tanking half an instance in crusader aura is something I like to avoid >_<
tho I still managed to do that in one strat run ...
What I hope they look into really is ToC, I've been having it do the normal long winded spiel and then having it not do it and taking just as long, or doing half of the event and then everything glitches. Seriously, the infamous Champions are LoS glitch sucks hard core. especially when the dps and healers don't realize you're not able to pull them and start their work to soon and get aggro...
I am happy about the changes to BM, as that is more useful tbh, and since pets will be still getting a boost from crit rate and our dps does also come from pets, it won't really make anything a whomg my pet is useless now! wave. AND I heard ret auras drowned out our dps buff atm anyways so this should fix that!
I'm curious if warlocks will get the same treatment?

A bit of palindromic wisdom:

Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

Re: PTR 3.3.3 Hunter Changes [Updated 2/24]
Is that a direct PTR observation Kalliope? (Wowhead's PTR database is still only showing a damage buff to Arcane, although it is now showing the passive damage aura instead of the proc. The PTR forums only report that the current implementation is rather buggy, with the FI aura showing up at 1% for all hunters, regardless of spec).Kalliope wrote:The change to FI buffing steady is INSTEAD of buffing arcane.
From past experience, the wording of the patch note as it currently stands isn't enough to say for sure whether this is "as well as" or "instead of".

Nope, not on the PTR, so I'll amend that to "It appears to me that Blizzard intends for the buff to steady to replace the buff to arcane based on the patch notes, which may or may not be accurate."Nimizar wrote:Is that a direct PTR observation Kalliope?

Re: PTR 3.3.3 Hunter Changes [Updated 3/1]
I agree with the OP; VERY VERY glad to be wrong on this one!
(And in all fairness, it was NOT clear from how they phrased the patch notes originally.)

The PTR is also down, presumably for a new build, so we may have more new changes to gape at when it comes back up.

Me thinks for arena. Since everything 10 min + cooldown isn't usable in there.Mania wrote:Heart of the Phoenix cooldown down to 8 minutes. I have no idea why Blizzard might do that at this point, but .. err .. okay, I guess.

That makes it a BM arena buff, IMO, since no other spec should really be rockin' a dps pet in arena.
Well, and PvE as well, but yeah.
