They suck.
Let me get my 2 cents in. This is clearly a Blizz attempt to buff BM. Pets get to use more abilities thus greater damage output and StS being BM's shot preference, more crits is more damage output. However i doubt this will be enough to make BM viable.

yep. stick with tier 8 ftw
talk about a set based on BM...

Clearly. Its not like a tier set has been made to prefer a certain spec before (t8/8.5 and MM for example).
If that is the preview however, does make one wonder what sort of possible hunter changes they are going to make in the future? Plausible return of the BM dps king?

I have been thinking of going BM specifically for farming purposes, but this is a bit one-sided. They could at least make it so the 4P bonus is something along the lines of "Your Chimera Shot, Explosive Shot, and Bestial Wrath abilities have their cooldown and mana cost reduced by 30%"
Geez.

i been a hunter since around patch 1.3....this is honestly the most inept i have seen the dev team when it comes to hunters.
They made tier 8.5 look good with these bonuses.
I am cancelled and for once, I don't regret it
Lol...wait. You canceled your account for some set bonus that isn't even set in stone for a patch that is still a long time away? Whatever floats your boat I guess...Sure they're pretty lame, but still, it's a game.

Not sure about the first bonus but the the 4 piece is absolutley terrible compared to other classes.
5% increased crit chance on an ability that hits for less than auto shot. Lets have a look at a few other classes 4 set bonus.
DK - Your Frost Fever and Blood Plague abiltiies now have a chance for their damage to be critical strikes. (these will probably go up to 1k crits easily)
Mage - Increases the critical strike chance of your Fireball, Frostbolt, Frostfire Bolt, and Arcane Blast spells by 5%.
Rogue - Increases the critical strike chance of your Hemorrhage, Sinister Strike, Backstab, and Mutilate abilities by 5%.
Why do they give others 5% crit on all abilities, we should get it also to apply on like chimera, explosive and aimed.

Worst set bonus since T1 3pc.

50% cost reduction?
pretty much makes Go for the Throat moot. I already crit enough as it is, giving my pet 25 focus each time, but at 50% reduced cost, he cant use it as fast as i can give it to him. and without the talent i think he'd still be lacking focus...
not sure how i feel about this. BM hunters probably dont need GftT anymore.
the 4 set is pretty lame, compared to 600 AP on steady shot.

It just happens that they literally nerfed us with 3.2, thus my account stayed canceled. So no, it wasnt just the tier bonus, all that did was add to the list of reasons of cons ( vs pros ) on if I would reactivate or stay canceled
in what way did they nerf us? i see no negative changes in the notes.
except, of course, this poor excuse for a set bonus

And the LnL PvE nerf

And the LnL PvE nerf
Which isn't much of a nerf since it hardly ever procs more than once in that time window anyway.
I don't see how they have nerfed us at all. We always top the meters and yet the Blues say we are too low.
PVP is a different story however.
Back on topic. Yes these set bonuses are terrible. It's been said before, even with that 2pc bonus, non-BM would probably still need GftT anyway.
