Yes, they are doing the worst think ever that they could do to demon hunters. They are COMPLETELY nerfing every other build besides the sentry build. I don't know of any other builds besides sentry that doesn't need Preparation: Punishment to function properly. Now they are going to slap a huge cooldown on it so everyone has to run sentry build. Whatever, we will now be nerfed into the ground with the barbs and monks.
The sky isn't falling yet, Chicken Little. Try not to evaluate an entire major content patch based on a single line when you don't know what the hundreds of other lines of changes contain.
Blizzard is buffing DH survivability, which will free up more skill and/or passive slots, and they've already said they'll be buffing some under-used skills too, specifically with a view to normalizing class competitiveness in ladders. So meh.
OTOH, +1 lolz for the irony of the OP's username, and +1 WTF for saying a defensive resource being used exclusively for offense wasn't broken.

Well shaggy, do you you understand how dependent Demon Hunters that aren't running sentry need preparation? Adding a cooldown that's too high is not good. And as someone on the battle net site said, demon hunters do know what defensive is, when you play demon hunter it's not required and playing defensive isn't fun at all.
+1 OP. Completely unwarranted nerf to resource cycling builds, which, by the way, aren't even as good as Sentry.
I cannot for the life of me wrap my brain around nerfing the higher skillcap, lower tier spec. It just doesn't make sense.
So what you're trying to say is you want everyone to have to run sentry build? I'm not the only one that is been thrown into disagreement about basically nerfing every other demon hunter build and preparation all together.

No, your just the one complaining about something without having all the facts yet. Wait till PTR, then bitch to your hearts contentment.

Why wait when they have it planned out already and they posted about it. Honestly people hate the change to Demon Hunter, go to the battle net forums and click on Demon Hunter, all the recent threads are about not wanting the dumb change.
So, OP. You freely admit as far as your knowledge goes the vast overwhelming majority of Demon Hunter's use this skill and rune. You even go as far as to say that the only way to function properly is with this skill and rune.
And you're telling me you don't see a problem with this?

There's this thing they are putting this into. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe its called a PTR and for those not up to speed thats stands for Public Test Realm. Now I know this is hard to comprehend but thats a Test Realm for the Public. As is see if it works. See how to balance it in a realm or more simply not on the live game based on public feedback.
I'll wait till the PTR to judge this change because we don't have the whole picture yet. Maybe they're buffing other skills, who knows.
But what rubs me the wrong way was the reason blizzard gave to justify nerfing the skill is because we were using the skill too much thus unable to pop our defensive CDs, thus causing us to die more often...... really? People can think for themselves Blizz, people can adjust and learn...

No, don't even. Demon hunters use Preparation, Barbs need lut socks, Crusaders need Akarats Champion, etc, etc. Builds are always dependent on one thing that's why they turn out to be good an that's why everyone uses that build, Blizzard needs to figure that out.

One thing I would like to see is a general buff to Hatred regen though. I play wizard now and it feels like I have free resource.
