oh my god i just re-read mortal shots

Old: Increases your ranged weapon critical strike damage bonus by 30%.
New: Increases the critical strike damage bonus of your ranged abilities by 30%.

I swear to god, unless I'm reading that wrong, that is the biggest nerf to the Hunter class since Mortal Shots was originally nerfed from 50% to 30%.

IF YOU DO NOT CATCH MY REASONING, THIS IS INFERRING THAT IT NO LONGER WORKS ON AUTO-SHOT.

THAT IS FUCKING BAD. LIKE, HUGELY BAD.


That said, the spell information on WoWHead SEEMS to be the same, but... oh... my... god... If it no longer applies to Auto-Shot...

Old WoWHead and New WoWHead

yep, there goes most of our crit damage, and put that together with increased steady shot mana cost (wtf) and decreased steady shot damage, our dps just got severly nerfed.

i just guess it was "overbudget" to have the hunters be able to dps well.

i also forgot to mention that they nerfed several of mm's talents that boosted ap. they believed that having that much ap was op, and gave them even more haste (which is much less worthwhile because our autos cant crit for extra anymore and steady shot will be at gcd).

If I recall correctly Mend Pet had a similar scary tooltip change a little while back but it wound up being simply that-- a tooltip change. I'm really hoping it's the same with this one because we're pretty screwed otherwise =(
