Bets on when MM gets nerfedFollow

I hope never. 32k Aimed Shot crit > 10k Arcane Shot crit > 21k Kill Shot crit = sex.

I bet next patch though, so 2-3 months.

Haven't been using Chimera extensively yet (mainly playing SV in PvP and BM in solo). It should be a lot, since my tooltip says weapon damage plus 7242.

Lv 83 hunter, i was critting for 29k aimed shot (with the 20% honor/experience kill bonus) on the searing elementals at nordrassil. Crazy stuff.

Was chatting with someone in a BG today. They were playing 2s prior as MM/Disc with much lulz and tears had. You can guess which of the two they were doing.

Try doing that with Imp Steady Shot, Time Warp/Bloodlust, and Rapid Fire up. I pretty much was like when that happened in AV.

Spam Steady, pop free instant Aimed Shots every 4-5 secs.

I like MM a lot after this patch.

Wait, what? You're doing more DPS as SV even after the MM buffs/SV nerfs? Is it just because you're not used to playing MM?

I didn't see many AS crits above 12k on my 2.7k resi holy paladin. Not much different from an ice lance, though lower armor targets will get hit much harder. Fury warriors seem like much more of a problem, and that one druid who crit me for 49k with a starsurge proc. Zerking powerup in EotS but, still.

I've preferred MM since ever, but switched to SV since it automatically bumped my DPS up into heroic league. Of course, as I progressed and found SV to be boring, I managed to get the same DPS numbers with MM. Now it's just soaring ahead.

And yeah, Rapid Fire + Imp Steady Shot + Bloodlust = win. 1.4-second Aimed Shots...

I am loving the switch back to MM. Hitting 21k+ dps on certain heroic bosses is awesome. I think I saw an aimed shot crit for 76k on trash in deadmines.

I have liked MM better since the begining of Wrath. Maybe it's expeirence, but whatever it is I feel more comfortable as MM.

Yes, but the odds of that are pretty slim. I can get down to .8 sec SS cast with ISS, RF, and BL. There is no more BL in arena, in order to get a MMM proc you need to be able to shoot off at least 5, most likely more SS to get MMM.

Anyone decent in arena won't let a hunter cast 5-7 shots, yeah there is fox, but there is a ton of los in arenas.

I just think the chance to get off that perfect scenario is too far and wide that just because someone was able to do it once doesn't mean it should be nerfed. Well all know Hawk sucks hard and buffing it a few % won't do anything to compensate for the nerf to aimed shot.

Although I don't PvP on my hunter, I'd like to chime in that I'm very happy that they're finally nerfing an ability that is OP in PvP - and just nerfing the PvP side of it rather than completely gutting it in PvE like they usually do.

I don't really see it being op, hunters still represent something like < 1% of high end arena, pretty sure a little buff to aimed shot isn't really enough to change that even a few percent. Especially with Master's Call getting nerfed and Glyph of Concussive Shot not even working.
