Have the changes in Cataclysm been overwhelming for you. None may have been more than those of the classes, the Hunter in particular. In receiving three new abilities I can assure you that you will see a much more effective character. The Hunter always seemed to be so under utilized in the previous versions of Warcraft. I would assume the Hunter will be more of an ally on raids and PvP runs now.
First the new abilities, starting with Cobra Shot that you get at level 81.This shot causes Nature damage instead of pure Physical damage and when combined with the talents in the Beast Mastery tree could easily become the go to shot in any situation, especially when going up against heavily armored targets. It will share a cool down with steady shot.
At level 83 Hunters will get Trap Launcher, this will allow you to shoot any one of your traps up to 40 yards away in a similar fashion to the Freezing Arrow Trap which will be removed. Finally at level 85, Hunters will be given Camouflage, which effectively hides them and stops them from taking any ranged damage.
These are the new abilities, but only a small part of a much bigger picture. Now instead of using mana, Hunters have Focus which builds up like Rage instead of running out with use. In order to use abilities such as Steady or Cobra Shot, Aimed Shot and many more you will need to have enough focus built up. This completely changes the dynamics of playing a Hunter and will take some getting used to.
There was a time when a Hunter had to carry his ammo with him at all times in the form of either a quiver or an ammo pouch. As time went on these were taken away and the Hunter could carry his ammo in a regular bag. This meant that the Hunter could carry ore ammo than ever before. now once again this has all changed, there is no need to carry any ammo. All of your guns, crossbows and bows will do damage without the ammo being carried.
You also start with a level one pet and have the ability to carry up to three pets at one time. While you are able to have three pets which can be swapped any time, you are still only able to have one out as long as you are not in a combat situation. In order to change your pet to one in your inventory you will need to visit a stable master. As you can see things have really improved for the Hunter since WotLK.
