WWI: Paris (2)

Hunters !

Yes, hunters also get new stuff instead of being deleted from the game (popular suggestion, i swear) and this is what they presented us at the WWI in Paris.

Hunter
  • All kind of pets will have their own talent tree. A tanking talent tree, a DPS talent tree, and an utility talent tree. Each kind of pet family will have its own talent tree and its own unique ability.
  • The shot clipping will be removed from Steady Shot, you'll be able to use it without "interrupting" your autoshot. Hunters will be able to just smash their button.
  • There are going to be new pets in WotLK.
  • The skill points for each pets are being changed to the new "Pet talents" and will disappear.

-Pets with talenttrees huh, pretty awesome and together with the diversity in petskills a welcome change when it comes to pets. Because, let's face it, with all the normalisation they received in the past pets became pretty dull and similar. Let's hope stuff finally changes with these tweaks and they create a bit more diversity. This change is especially good for BMhunters ofcourse, who use their pet more than their own willy.
-Shot clipping removed. Good and bad.
Good: more damage for the hunters even for players who have never heard of this and therefor knew fuck all about shotclipping.
Bad: Imho if you knew about this and actually mastered it to avoid shot clipping, it really showed you knew your class and were able to differentiate from the typical huntard.
-Yay for new pets ! I'm not sure whether this means new types of pet (like cat, boar, ...) or just new models in these categories.
-Only logical if they would work with talenttrees to rename pet points to pet talent points.

So, hunters got some pretty nice stuff to look out for and i'm pretty sure this is only the tip of the iceberg because as you can see all these things mostly cater to BMhunters. There is little to nothing known what will be in the next expansion for survival and mms hunters.

I'm the kind of huntard who'd benefit from the steadyshot change :P
