A collection of Ghostcrawler‘s recent tweets regarding Hunters:
Julian Selman: Are you satisfied with the mobility hunters have since 5.1, or do you see either Fox or Sniper Training coming back?
Ghostcrawler: No immediate plans for either. [Source]
jpmarcotte: How is Stampede NOT a flavor-fitting ability? I think hunters would rise up en-masse if Stampede disappeared.
Ghostcrawler: We added Stampede because, like Titan’s Grip, players* asked for it for years. (* = Not every player of course.) [Source]
tanjon: And Blink Strikes is already simming as a loss over Crows. You’ve already nerfed that tier into oblivion, please don’t do more
Ghostcrawler: But in general we want passives to be lower DPS than actives since they ask much less of the player. [Source]
Winterbark: For a spec like MM that’s behind enough to be ‘bad,’ wasn’t mastery created for tuning to turn 5% delta into something closer?
Ghostcrawler: The passives were created for that. If we buff mastery it can make you stack or avoid that stat depending on how we do it. [Source]
KJ Williams: Wasn’t Blink Strikes changed to reduce some of the button clutter? Does the dev team want to bring that back?
Ghostcrawler: We are pretty happy with the new Blink Strikes. Just want to make sure the other talents are still taken seriously by hunters. [Source]
Kenneth Wilson: I think 5.3 broke pets bite/claw autocast. On Megaera my pet didn’t use it once, its focus stayed at 100 for the whole fight.
Ghostcrawler: Hmm. Haven’t heard that. We will investigate. [Source]
