This is going to really unbalance pve AND pvp.
I am still waiting for blizz bringing in pvp specs & pve specs.Comment by SephirothI am still waiting for blizz bringing in pvp specs & pve specs.Comment by 678294i like that my hunter is getting buffed, but it's a bit depressing aspect of the (iron) hawk is buffed agian once more.

35% AP increase from it, while when MoP started it gave 10%.
personally i wish they had build hunters up better this expansion so that we didn't need an increase of 25% AP with band aid Hotfixes over the expansion.Comment by 1050143Yes. Because DK's, Hunters and Shamans were in such desperate need of help, getting buried in BGs and DPS charts alike. This has been the unanimous opinion of absolutely everyone I have spoken to.Comment by rehlyihmahYes.

I don't do BADLY in raids, but that's mainly because I'm in better average gear than most of my group with a full tier bonus.
