There’s some other minor Hunter changes coming in a future build, and we also wanted to talk about the new Lesser Dragonkin pet family. There are some other minor Hunter changes we wanted to discuss, but wanted to address Binding Shot specifically.ĭragonflight Beta - Lesser Dragonkin Pet Family We’re changing Binding Shot from a root that breaks on damage to a 3 second stun. That said, Binding Shot is a powerful tool Hunters have to manage some situations where you want to both do high damage to a group of enemy targets, as well as have control over their ability to chase you. We still feel like a root that doesn’t break from damage is not a good thing to have in the game, because it’s not at all clear why it works differently than other roots. Going to make a quick post addressing Binding Shot before making a follow-up post. With the amount of change coming in Dragonflight, and options for new control abilities such as Scatter Shot or Hi-Explosive Trap being available, we feel this is an appropriate time to make this change. This does reduce the potential power of Binding Shot, yes. Binding Shot was an unintended exception to this rule, the root effect not breaking from damage was never intended to be part of its identity.
Roots that don’t break from damage are inconsistent, and consistency is important for understanding rules within the game. Root effects from players in the game such as Druid’s Entangling Roots or Mass Entanglement, or Mage’s Frost Nova, traditionally break after taking some amount of damage.
Binding Shot is intended to root targets who move too far away from the center point. The launch of an expansion is a good time to change things where necessary, as it’s almost a reboot for many parts of the game. As many probably remember, it was briefly changed to break from damage in Shadowlands, but that change was reverted. The change to Binding Shot’s root to break from damage is intentional, and there’s some history with this ability.
