Track Hidden is not nearly as good as you think it is.
In reality, it barely is good enough to compensate for points in MoD.

Set your pet to aggressive and laugh as you kick most Rogues out of stealth.

If you're using it to find rogues then you're ignoring the 2 greatest tools in the game to find them: flare and track hidden.
Ok, use a GCD that doesn't do any damage and an ability that isn't 100% reliable vs a GCD that does damage and is pretty much 100% reliable. Hard choice there to me, yeah, ummmmmmm, next point. Volley can and is sometimes used for what the military calls "area denial" or "suppression fire". Flares don't work that way because they don't hurt. Sometimes 3 seconds of not going through an area because it will hurt you is important in a battlefield. Just some things to consider while removing AoE from hunters. Multishot or even volley could have had a more machinegun like animation to cover the concept but hey, that would be an easy and rational fix over the poppycock that GC is spewing. Multishot is NOT AoE, it does not cover an area, it covers a few targets that are close together, is not targetable beyond the first target and is not controllable. Three targets does not an AoE make.
AoE leveling? You can "live to win, till you die", I'll use the dungeon finder.
I use both, why should people be forced into one path for things? I thought the new Cata was about more choice? I was wrong of course because if you look at talent trees and builds all through the classes, it is a case of pick a tree, have maybe 1-2 points of choice in it and then a few half crocked choices for your scattered remaining points. That is, of course, unless you want to have an optimum raid spec and then, you are just as limited, if not more so, than today.
AoE farming? If the loss of volley is going to break your bank, you've got bigger issues than AoE to worry about.
It isn't all about bank, but whatever, let's all be forced to play like you do. Got it, ok, no problem.

Think about our dps to....i spammed aoe's at low lvls to keep my dps high (higher than mage's)and now WTF we can't aoe?That will surly ruin my dps:(
I hope multishot is spamable...........or it atleast hits more targets....
Can't AoE? Multi-shot is an AoE and you even mentioned it yourself... also, there are traps too. :-x

Multishot is not Area of Effect, it is multiple target. They are distinctly NOT the same thing and don't do the same job.

If you say so... don't think we'll be seeing a whole lot of situations where we'll be attacking more than 3 or so targets at the same time in Cata anyways though. (and -again- they're remaking multishot)
Trap launcher + explosive trap is still a pure AoE move though.

It's limitations have been discussed before. As to in Cata, we may not, that is fine, what is not fine is the large volume of content that you can and do need AOE for presently and will continue to as well. People won't enter the game at 85 and that is one of the major issues with messing with things all based on endgame raiding or endgame PvP, you end up with huge gaps that are distinctly un-fun.

Seriously, how can you say that? Just because they removed volley? One aoe spell change and "
oh god the game sucks now
"?
Honestly I hope that people do quit playing hunters because of this, I truly do. If peoples ability to play this class is
that
dependent on volley, you're seriously doing something wrong.
Fix'd for ya =D

Exactly.
Go revisit a ton of those Vanilla instances. There's always tons of mob pulls, and AoE is always preferred. Removing Volley takes away from that, too.

In other news, it appears (
according to Frostheim
) that there is no limit to the number of shots. Now if they put the damage back up where it should be, that would at least allow some AoE to remain.

Meh. Volley was fine. Why remove Volley and give us this new Multi-Shot that essentially does the same thing.. only it's not an AoE? Why do they bother spending this much time tweaking an ability and removing one when they were both fine? If GC truly thinks that Multi-Shot didn't have a place he's an idiot. Truly.
