If you raid PvE, stuns don't affect bosses, so you have next to no utility in that area.<br /><br />But specializations may not matter at all either as you may end up just doing SrS, AS, AS, AS, CS/SS.

I don't think this will actually hurt good hunters so if it helps bad hunters, that can only make your LFR runs a bit less painful. This will be a great change for my hunter (guess I'm somewhere solidly between "good" and "LFR troll" in hunter skill based on that).<br /><br />Iron Hawk - Could be worse, Boomkins, Warlocks and Shadow Priests lost ALL of their "form" DR, hunters only lost 33%. This seems to be more of a global change but they left hunters with at least some DR. If the DR is still enough to be better than the other two options for raiding, take it. If not, take something else. They wanted to get rid of no-brainer talent choices, this theoretically helps with that. All things being relatively equal I'd probably take the healing one for full-time use as long as raid mechanics aren't routinely killing me with <10% overkill.<br /><br />Silencing Shot - I'm still not convinced this change will go live, I'm not sure what it gains. I'd have been happier if they'd just removed SiS from hunters entirely rather than possibly forcing 7 hunters worldwide to run MM because their particular group is short an interrupt. Also, see no-brainer talent choice comment above.<br /><br />Binding Shot - Can't comment, not even sure I know what it does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051177733784712522.post-67252270947441747332013-06-12T12:39:14.577-04:002013-06-12T12:39:14.577-04:00I agree 100%.

I too was left with a resounding WTF?<br /><br />I think the silencing shot bit bothers me more than anything else really. It was our only real choice on that tier to begin with.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.com
