idk what the hell your on about, i am loving this i am a BM hunter (as many know have been for ages) and my dps went.....not just up......BUT THROUGH THE FRIGGIN ROOF. i love it, and finnaly i top charts (no i cant link but was topping chart in icc on DW, well me and another hunter) i think this is a step in the right direction, i feel like a hunter and not a idiot with mana that is to stupid to learn to cast
How much do you consider "off the roof"? Because I guess relatively BM hunters prior to this patch sucked bawls, and now they are viable. So if you consider viability in terms of DPS expected in 3.3.5 I guess, but this is 4.0.1 and Arcane mages, Ret pallies and Balance druids are doing more than 11k dps on dummies, and im stuck doing 6.2k max. And my gear isnt bad.
Don't forget Destro Locks (nerfed a bit) and Frost DKs.
Lord I've never EVER seen Howling Blast hit so hard.
Edit:
Anyways, the biggest problem is the ability queue...that's what hurting us (as well as other casting-based classes). Spamming Steady Shot on accident is kinda fail.

Inability to adapt ? Why do Hunters have to be the class that seems to have to "Adapt" and fix there ability just to keep up on dps.
I personally don't mind having to learn a whole new rotation and focus usage to do good DPS, but I do have problems with other DPS classes topping charts with a dumbass rotation.
My bf was doing an average of some 15k dps in ICC 10 hm on his arcane mage with a button "1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111" rotation. Ugh.

Cobra shot is for Survival only, so I guess everyone is going to FoTM spec and go SV because all other specs lose viability? Isn't that what Blizzard is trying so hard to avoid?
Please go read up more on Cobra Shot's use. You clearly know nothing.Inability to adapt ? Why do Hunters have to be the class that seems to have to "Adapt" and fix there ability just to keep up on dps.

Arcane Mage was stupid easy to play before the patch and is stupid easy to play now. Not surprising at all.

This game is now balanced around 85, yes, but it's straight ignorance to say that "you're doing better than before in comparison to everyone else". You aren't. You can't.
Hunters are at the bottom of the charts for pretty much every guild, including mine. Hunters, right now, are not doing well. End of discussion.

Ok, @ LosRojo
Pre-4.0 OS25 zerg
as SV.
Post-4.0 I didn't think to take any screenshots during ICC, but I pulled approximately 7.5k-9k dps depending on boss mechanics, etc 2 nights ago.
Hows that for numbers.

I just wish I could see some actual numbers (and wish I'd have had the forethought to do it myself) from pre-4.0.1 and post 4...
Just an average week.
(Pretty bad, actually. My best was 18.4k :( )
I'm pulling about 11k right now. We did achievements last week for some of our newer members/absent members who didn't have the Drake, but this week I'll post Festergut's logs.
