Hunter

NERFED

Developers’ notes: Your character will still fire Auto Shot while casting spells like Aimed Shot or Sniper Shot.

Source post

  • Auto Shot now requires you to stand still for 0.5 seconds before shooting, matching early versions of World of Warcraft.
  • Arrows should now be visible when a character has their bow drawn back.
  • Pets now correctly benefit from Expertise.
  • The Hunter’s Fire traps now correctly scale with Attack Power.
  • The Hunter may now correctly have 1 active Fire Trap and 1 active Ice Trap (was 1 Trap among all types).

Pets

  • Fixed an issue where pets were only ever inheriting the player’s Melee Critical Strike chance instead of whichever is higher, melee or ranged.

Dismember (Crocolisk)

  • Healing reduction reduced to 25% (was 50%).
  • Duration reduced to 6 seconds (was 10 seconds).
  • Cooldown increased to 15 seconds (was 6 seconds).
