WotLK Beta (US-English) Forums -> Upcoming hunter changes
Two changes coming up: We aren't happy with how Aspect of the Viper is working in PvP, but it seems fine in PvE. We're going to try changing it so that 50% of its current regen is passive, leaving the remaining 50% active. That should give hunters some more mana in Arenas in particular when ...

AotV, Exotics to be changed
WoW.com — Filed under: Hunter, Wrath of the Lich King Aspect of the Viper is an ability that the developers have been toying with like an indecisive puppy for months now. It's been scrapped and re-written a few times, and I can barely even remember all the iterations it's gone through. Many hunters aren't happy with the current version for PvP. Fortunately for them, neither is Blizzard, so it's getting changed again. In the new version, half of AotV's regen will work passively - whether you're hitting the opponent or not, you'll get 4% of your max mana every 3 seconds. The other half will remain active, but will work on ...

Battle of the Pets! Round 3 - cat versus moth
steady shot — [image] Yes, I know I said I would bring you Count Ungula the Nether Ray in round 3, but the Count was being difficult and refused to use his special family skill, Nether Shock, on the target dummy.  Target dummies aren’t perfect there are a few player spells that are not working on them too.  So before reporting the Count’s score, I will go test a nether ray on some live animals/casters to see how his Nether Shock works. Instead, this fight, I present, the Moth! The not-so-humble moth is causing a lot of excitement.  He’s a force to be reckoned with, and is overlooked at your peril.  There are no named tameable moths until level 71 Aspatha in ...
