Hunters

Ammunition: All types of gun and bow ammunition now stack to 1000. All quivers and ammo pouches no longer provide haste. 15% ranged haste is now built into the hunter's Auto Shot.

Call Stabled Pet: This new ability lets the hunter remotely access the stable. 30-minute cooldown.

Frost Trap: If the target who triggers Frost Trap is immune to its effect, the Frost Trap area effect will no longer be triggered. Now reduces speed by 50% (previously 60%).

Viper Sting redesigned: Stings the target, draining 4% of mana over 8 seconds (up to a maximum of 8% of the caster's maximum mana), and energizing the hunter equal to 300% of the amount drained. Only one Sting per hunter can be active on any one target.

Hunter

So much focus on pointless stuff, Xsarus.

Clearly, the only change that matters at all is

"Loot from clams now stacks correctly!"

I was all, get out the smackdown stick, you don't get to derail my thread, but then you posted the notes so I'll forgive you.and to be fair, I was pretty concerned about the clam situation

Yeah, bears with thunder stomp and swipe will be very nice.

I tamed them a while back. I'm not new to these forums, I just made a new account name because I got sick of ProjectMidnight ;)

I'm just wondering if they let us keep them if we had them, or if they removed them from the stables.

T.N.T.: Increases damage done by Explosive Shot, Immolation Trap, and Explosive Trap by 2/4/6%.

edit: As for T.N.T., I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, this is what the 3.1 patch notes said for me anyway:



Nothing about refreshing traps.

I'm actually fairly surprised with this change. For those bosses that the tank can sit in one place, it'll be a bit of added damage for us. Just run in at the start of a fight, place trap and forget about it. with 3/3 points, immo trap can be kept up indefinitely.

Current top dps specs are 6/14/51 no TotH, no replenishment.
Or the safer, slightly lower dps 0/15/56.

Well boys, go ahead and drop off some agility enchants/gems for spell penetration/hit/power.

And for future reference, trying to suck up to me is more likely to get you rated down than up.
