I didn't think you were trying to call anyone out.
Hole, Asa, and I are just tired of morons saying "ZOMG I WTFBBQPWNT TEH DEEPZ MEETERZ" when it's obviously a blatant lie.
I hope the numbers we provided helped =)
P.S. I'd like to point out that the over 9k ss I posted did NOT have the 30% icc buff. And the 7-9k in icc...well, did.

The "good" hunters who have practised a decent amount are little confused by now with the focus playing style. Even if a hunter is perfect with focus playing, the DPS is still around there.
Hunters will work better with more mastery, so will all other classes.
No one is disputing that BM works better. Hunters aren't really "broken" either. It's just outputting horrendous DPS in comparison.
Whether or not those OP classes get nerfed in Cata doesn't make the situation any better for us
now
. ;_; Level 85 is still 2 months away, still a lot of raid weeks to get through, still a lot of DPS meter results to hurt my ego.

I don't think we're broken, at all. We mostly need to re-learn, train, train and train more. Then we'll do fine. I am running heroics every day to get a better "feeling" with our new stuff. Hunters got so many changes that sometimes it's like we're playing another class.

I stopped reading your post there...People that try to use certain words in order appear intelligent only to spell them incorrectly creates the exact opposite effect....

You guys act like this is your first pre expansion Wow experience ever! The main reason casters and spell based deeps is rocking the meters is that they got their new spells in prep for the expansion. Melee dps always, ALWAYS lags behind because the new cata weapons aren't available yet. We are sorta in that same boat, our ranged weapons haven't been updated to match the expansion stats.
As has been said over 9000 times, its balanced towards end game 85 raiding. That's what, 2 months of casters being OP in the meters while we've been spanking them the majority if a year now since ICC launched.

I am MAX geared short of icc 25 man heroic. My kill shot did a whopping 9k damage in an icc dungeon, where previously my kill shot crit for 18-22k in DUNGEONS,
Kill Shot needed the nerf, tbh.

Since this is your FIRST post, would help if you gave some info (toon name, server, you know, that kind of info).
Many other hunters higher geared than yourself have all reported a dps GAIN across the board (including myself though I might not have better gear). It may not be as high as some casters at this point, but I still saw a gain.

This
is
my first pre-expansion experience ever. O.o
How dare you speak up! Boo this woman! Boo! Boo!
;)
/shame and sorrow
@Interest: Kill shot most certainly did not need a nerf, you sacrilegious traitor! Very interesting thread though.
I miss my awesome KS so much. =(
Yes it did. The damage was ridiculous.

Jesus some people are incredibly anal-retentive in here. Calm down.
From a full week of ICC Heroics (11/12 clear), I'll state a few facts I found:
- Single target DPS as a raid (for my guild at least) has jumped significantly. It got to the point where we realized that the most effective strat for Heroic Sindragosa was merely to nuke her under 35% and ignore all ice blocks/clearing stacks. Our kill was 2.5 minutes faster than our previous weeks. We also managed to push Putricide, without hero, to transition before the first ooze finished spawning.
- Raid AoE DPS now sucks. Immensely. For instance, our strategy on Heroic LDW will require some fine-tuning, as we previously just grouped everything up in front of the boss and cleaved/AoE'ed our way to victory. This now takes a lot more time and effort than it probably should.
- Hunter DPS is fine. DEPENDING ON THE FIGHT (please note this caveat), Hunter DPS has improved. However, due to the fact that we do not have Aspect of the Fox / Cobra Shot (and due to the fact that Improved Steady Shot increases our DPS significantly), movement fights now really, really hurt for all specs.
- If the numbers were close to final, I'd say we would deserve a small-ish buff. But, since this is a transition period and nearly every guild that wanted to progress already has, I'd say there's not much to complain about. Although, the new pet health bug is annoying as hell.
- FWIW, rogues need a buff, too.

Well, to fix that bring a few Frost DKs.
