Volley REMOVED replaced with new Multi-Shot
Written by Gazrella.
In an uproar from several hunters Ghostcrawler finally explained in better example what Multi-Shot will now be like. He states that Mutli-Shots new design will have no target amount of people it can hit and acts a lot like Fan of Knifes.
So hunters what is your take on the all new Multi-Shot and what are your opinions about loosing Volley?

It is a great change in my opinion. It allows us to continue playing with a “rotation” for aoe rather than monotonously clicking and watching the hunter channel like we have been doing all throughout WotLK. It is also helped with the new Trap Launcher spell hunters get. My only question is on the range, not the distance because that is obvious but more over the width of the new multi shot. I assume it is designed to attack all targets in a cone in front of the hunter but how large is the cone and if no cone, what?
this is pisses me off
dont know about this one as volley has only been really usefull since the releace of wotlk so why so quick to get rid of it?
I’m going to be open minded about this…I love volley and I love to have nice ape but it kills you rotation(priorities) always spamming your volley while you other moves are off cool down seems like a waste…my only issue is that I hope multi does not take up to much energy
One thing I know for sure, is that unless MS has a really short CD, low Focus cost, and decent range, there’s going to be quite a few less hunters getting requests from people for RDPS slots…lol
Will Multi Shot still share a GCD with Aimed Shot or will it be an Instant like Volley?
hmm, tbh i can’t wait for this new multi shot, never used volley since i got it… mabye once but doesnt really count when i used aove myself for a picture.. ;P and i hope that it is a cone in front of the hunter, that hits all.. one thing i dont like about hunters now is that focus cant be more than 100, there should be a talent than grants 10 extra focus in Marksmanship.. just like rogues got Vigor..
I say that even though it has been usefully Arles, that being able to use it then continue rotationa nd then use it again is a big benefit. this is just my opinion but I think id rather have that then waste my time chanelling when other major things can occur.
This pisses me off too. Alls they rlly did was make multi shot a lil bit better and destroy the hunters only true AoE spell this combined with giving us Focus i think Blizzard has a personal vendetta against all hunters. Their ruining the class!
I am very upset with this change. I have been playing my hunter since I started with LK. Hunters are already so handicapped in PVP now we loose one of the ONLY spells we could use while in an instance. This will effectively kill off the hunter class. Why must people always change things for the sake of change????
Wooow,thats so wrong,why would you get rid of volley,not that i used it alot,but noobs look forward to that move at 40,and you took it away,and also the multi-shot idea is totally gay i’m my opinion,i liked the old one better…BTW blizz sucks,making too much unnecessary changes to classes,check warrior,I hate them for that
I use misdirection with volley as threat control for tanks in raids. If the proposed fan of blades style multi shot, shoots arrows in 360 degree’s it would only be used on mobs in the back line with healers and other casters. Hunter’s are ranged based, a move like this would put them in melee range and would suffer massive dps loss unless the new multi shot has a ranged point of execution, like trap launcher. If the new move works like that then really all that changes is the move stops being channeled and becomes an instant relying more on available focus. Depending on how it officially works, this can drastically effect hunters aoe damage overall.
I think this is going to challenge hunters to get more out of their toon. I too have been sick of being in ICC for a year just spamming volley until a boss fight.
Can’t wait to see how it pays out. Volley has been great for bragging rights with damage meters but doesn’t allow a DPS character to really show off. Hunters, impo, should be a bragging class, we should be able to do mass amounts of damage and also be dynamic in ways that many other classes cannot.
This should be looked at positively.
Cant wait for cata i’m so excited =), however i would still like to know if multi shot has a cone that your damage is focused into or not or if it wil be like fan of knives and just disperse damage 360 deg’s around you because if it did that would be kinda cool.
I think that us hunters are gonna be held back on maintaining dps with the new foucus system we’re getting but we shall see.
Hmm volley is very useful for leather farming in Scholozar.Round a big group of crocolisk s and cobras with pet then spam volley.Kinda useful if a little boring in dungeons but of course your tank needs to be doing big pulls to make it worthwhile.
I can see i’m going to have to rethink things a little.Oh well a change is as good as a break as the saying goes.
if multi shot hits like fok than im all for it good change.
I think it’s a decent idea. They should definitely look a little more into it but it seem legit.
Lot of crap changing. Id like to see the mechanics of the new multi shot. I will miss volley though been playing since BC volley gets the job done, hope to see if this new multi shot can stack up
I’m dislike this change a lot. I was skeptical about continuing to play after cata came out to begin with…. now I might not play when my main character gets my favorite and most useful move taken out of game.
i would rather be a sniper than a multi-target machine gun…..
Well I’m a big hunter player and it’s not really such a big deal. It makes a lot more sense though, I mean who’s ever heard of being able to makegiant arrows randomly fall from the ceiling like that? Haha it’s not really such a big deal guys.
I’m really kind of pissed about the removal of volley. It’s not just a functionality thing either. It was super useful and was often used in various dungeons, but the other thing was the visual of it. It was awesome to see a shower of blue and black arrows coming down. Multishot just doesn’t really do it for me.
I HATE focus wtf is with that….if it aint broken dont fix it
no more volley dang it i love volley well i guess ill give this multi shot a try
