Would a 50/21 point build not make sense then? Readiness would give you two bestial wraths in a row…id really enjoy that… would be useful for some team builds in arena too…….meh i like readiness coming to MM Since I arena as MM it would be very much enjoyed in there

@readiness not getting love currently in SV

there is 1 reason why hardly any raiding SV hunters have readiness right now.

Master Tactician

Once you get out of kara in SV gear, you have a ton of crit already. A very lackluster proc on MT was not worth the 5 points. so essentially readiness became a 6 point talent. and while amazing, it’s not worth 6 talent points.

IMHO Blizz are trying to do the impossible.

You have, basically, 2 separate games here. PVE and PVP.

I don’t do PVP. I like to raid and run instances and just generally live in the game world.

Why should I have to put up with stuff that is intended just to make sure my Hunter isn’t too overpowered in PVP?

They should have totally revamped the talent system instead of farting around trying to make things fit.

2 trees, something like 100 points in each. One for PVE, one for PVP. In either tree you can make some talents have pre-requisite talents just like now.

Oh, and while you’re at it, have a damn CONFIRM button on the talents, like there is on the socketing dialog. Set talents, examine them for goofiness, all good? CONFIRM. Not good, swap things around a bit.

Readiness just looks really odd in the MM tree. And an instant Aimed? Call it Rupture Shot or whatever, something appropriate for the debuff it does.

Trap Mastery at 41? Sheesh

Ya know, it might prove to be that nice hardwood floor at release time, but right now it just looks awfully late in the game to be messing with talent trees like this, with the PTR already up and all that jazz … does anyone know if they’ll deploy these changes there too?

I’d love to test some.

Some other things too, like how my Heroic Presence (draenei +hit party buff) doesn’t cover kitty if I’m at max range (41 yards) and how she sometimes moves a mile from where she engages a target in a sort of dance that’s probably caused by the pet-wants-to-be-behind-target logic. Great fun in crowded areas.

Oh, and me three, four, five whatever on the tank testing without 2-piece T5

Dude! We know you have 2 pieces of T5. Enough already. If I had a dime for every time you mentioned it, I’d already have a couple of bucks! It’s a big deal at 70, sure, but on the beta? Big deal. Get over your old gear and discuss new stuff.

As for scatter shot and readiness swapping places? Crap. Pure and utter crap. I’ve gone without scatter shot for almost 2 years. 1.5 as BM and .5 as Survival which I am currently. I want readiness not scatter shot. Scatter shot, though fun, has no raid utility whatsoever. Readiness does. Give it back.

please ask your vet about scott’s advice (posted above) regarding your kitty’s salt intake and kidney failure. i recently lost my kitty of 18 years to kidney failure, and i have not heard about this salt angle until now. losing her was truly horrible, and i don’t want you to go through such a thing.
