I was kinda hoping for some more dungeon tuning to be announce maybe that will be later.  Specially for Ruby Life Pools and The Nokhud Offense bosses.

Good thing I leveled something besides hunter. Wow that is bad 

[Soljer 1]

Removing the best MM PVP talent double tap and replacing with worthless PVE talent is by far the worse change I have seen in WOW history. The day it goes live is the day I quit WOW and I am sure I will not be the only MM hunter to do so.

[Soljer 1]

Make it a PVP talent or replace it with something a like, but do not simply remove it or change it with something that has no value. Let’s not forget Double Tap is the only “go” MM hunter has in arena. Again, this is a horrible change and if it happens it will be the end of MM hunter in PVP.

Played hunter in pvp for almost 10 years multi gladiator hunter and play all specs, I’m extremely disappointed that they’re removing double tap, MM hunter is going to be so boring to play in arena and the other specs are just underwhelming.

I start to play BM hunter in Shadowlands,kind a love at first sight,but in M+ his damage was the lowest in hunter spec,but ok, kind a accept it cuz i really like to play with it,and i was thinking,they have to buff it maybe next expansion,so they kind a do that now,even set gear is good to from m+ and the damage to,but then just out of nowhere they will nerf it,so BM goes back to last place in dps and i am  realy sad and angry now that i am seroiusly thinking over to cancel my subscription cuz i will not like to play my BM hunter anymore,and if i dont like to play,why would i pay for the game then. 

ps. I didn't expect so many bugs this expansion
