Ranged attacks will be able to be dodged. Hunters will benefit from expertise and will have it on their gear, which will also allow hunters and Enhancement shaman to share gear more easily.
Not sure if want. xD

I actually think it makes sense, lorewise. We should have 'expertise' in our arsenal.....cause it means 'hey I know how to shoot this thing!'. It probably wont be very high. Probably will just be like how melee needs it.

Im extremely happy to hear that hit and spell hit are being combined (i know its not hunter related but still x3 im happy about it) and im indifferent to the expertise addition except for the fact that it now means i have to fight against enhance shamans moreso then before. I havent encountered really, any, to be honest in randoming and even in raiding when i was still a part time raider so im not sure how much we fight against them for gear right now but that side of it isnt sitting well with me. But im just gonna keep watching and see how things continue to play out

...And thus the Enhancement Shaman population rejoiced.

Frostheim has a good summary of it as it relates to us: http://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com/201 ... expertise/

As far as the impact on us for PVE, it's two things.

1) We'll need to stack expertise to the cap, same way we will have to do for hit.

2) Our tanking pets will be hurt a bit, as they can be parried.

3) Enhance Shammys will be stealing our gear.

Apart from #3, which happens now anyway, I don't see how I will really care. Every class will have to deal with it.

Slick, thats kinda rude to say. Enhance doesnt steal anything. They use the same stats as us. We're not special snowflakes. I gotta share my leather with Monks AND Rogues(as well as lowbie hunters) and share my weapons with Hunters. Be happy it's only one class you gotta share with and most shammies I come across arent Enhance.

So...wait....

Hunters are going to have to cap their Hit AND their Expertise? Similar to Warriors?

Hmm, interesting. I'm not sure how I feel or not. Depending on how much they want us to stack and such, it seems pretty fair to me. I mean, its nice that Hunters only have to worry about Hit right now, but I won't freak out if we have to do both.

I doubt it'll be much.

anyways.. :D

I cannot se the huge problem tbh. We have to stack hit, so expertise is just another stat to stack until we cap :D

...Actually, I don't mind, but I can imagine a lot of Hunters are going to freak out over it! :lol:
