It seems WoD was<\/em> my final expansion. And from looking back at it, maybe it wasn’t that bad…. compared to the massive changes they’ve done to BM Hunters.
\nPretty much impossible to solo and stay alive. Spirit Bond IS GONE<\/strong>. No more passive healing, and no answer as to why it was removed. I tried to do the Iron Docks quest which is supposed to lead up to going to Tannan Jungle, and without Spirit Bond, I died so easily.
\nHell, the moment I saw my spec last night, a ton of my useful abilities were either moved to other specs or ripped out of my hands. It feels like a pre-Vanilla spec (even though I never was part of the testing of the Alpha and Beta versions of WoW).
\nMy Hunter, who I had since mid to late Vanilla WoW, is a shell of his former self.<\/p>\n

Why, though? Just why? Why did BM Hunters get such a beating from the nerf bat? Thankfully I’m not alone<\/a> in wanting an answer. Sadly, Blizzard is once again keeping their community in the dark. It’s that anger that you want answers and the person with the answers, never gives you them.<\/p>\n

So it seems I have to do something I’ve only done once, which is to get to max level as another char. I believe it was my Rogue that got to Level 100 before my Hunter did in WoD. But this<\/em> time, I’m creating a new char and getting them to Level 100 (and then using them to get me to Level 110; effectively ‘replacing’ my main).
\nI’m going to make another WW Monk. I read it’s still a viable choice for soloing. Yet I also read that in the upcoming 7.1 patch, that this class might also get smacked with the nerf bat.<\/p>\n

I also asked the WoW Community (yes, I have a death wish) if the new Demon Hunter hero class is a viable option. Was told that both specs got “kneecapped” by the nerf bat in a recent patch (probably Patch 7.0.3), and like BM Hunters, Blizzard is keeping quiet on if this would, if ever, be undone or fixed.<\/p>\n

So anyway, back to the Monk. Debating if it’s worth re-establishing my secondary account (also buying another copy of Legion) just to get this person into my Guild(to stop the pestering). And I feel (going by the fact my main got nerfed to hell and back and Blizzard not responding to it) that it’s not..at this time. There should be an addon or two to block Guild invites, and I’ll just use that.
\nWhen I eventually get to Level 110 with the Monk (and do the content my main (at this time) will likely never do), I will think about it again.<\/p>\n

As to if I should just use the Level 100 boost, no. Learning the rotation is critical<\/span> to survive. And by boosting, I won’t learn how to play my class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
