With the release of the 2.3 patch notes, combined with 2.2 providing a multitude of technical problems, Nerf Treisk 2 has been canceled. I may, at some point, pick this project up again in the future, but for now, I'm finishing the leveling process on my Warrior and continuing on with that project. The frustrations that the Hunter class has bestowed upon me has forced me, ultimately, to give up on my Hunter as a PvP class.
It's a shame, too. So many players have given me major props and praise for doing well on my Hunter. Players like Dahis, Evertras, and other very popular players have toted me as their favorite Hunter and the best Hunter they'd seen. However, thanks to Blizzard, I no longer have any choice but to begin playing another class. The Hunter class has been butchered entirely since patch 2.0.1 (the TBC Primer Patch that hit in December) when Blizzard revoked the Hunter buffs completely, and ruined the scaling of our DPS entirely. They gave every class that didn't rely on mobility more mobility options, while the most mobility-based class in the game (for PvP) got nothing. It has been two full patches and one set of patch notes since this occurred, and we have been given nothing.
I apologize to any and all of my fans that were awaiting the completion of this project. I'm frustrated and disappointed with the Development team right now, and it's never been more obvious that they are giving me the shaft.
I also have another announcement to make. I was hired by Curse Gaming to write an extensive PvP guide for their upcoming PvP portal. While this was a HUGE deal for me that would've greatly promoted my video project, there's no longer a reason for me to promote anything, so I will continue writing for this project simply to fill my obligation. I can now, truly and honestly, say that I hate my class. I hate the Hunter class. I hate a lot of the people that play it. I hate our itemization. I hate how weak our class is. I hate how we have to deal with the most ridiculous crap that any community in this game has ever had to put up with. I hate Blizzard for doing this to me. To us.
It was very hard for me to come to this decision, but I've already shelled out the money to transfer my Warrior to my current server, and have almost finished leveling him. I can now be found either on my Hunter (Treisk@Illidan) fulfilling my obligation to the rest of my 5v5 team for Season 2, or on my Warrior (Abydos@Illidan), completing the leveling process and starting to gear up.
I want to finish this post with one thing, very simply, to the entire Hunter community that supported me and my work, and were hoping for an outstanding video project. I'm sorry. I can't say that enough. I'm sorry to all of you. I did all that I could to get our class the support it needed, but it simply was not enough. In giving up on this class, I feel nothing but regret. I wasted so much time learning, mastering, and flat-out playing this Class that re-learning and re-mastering a Warrior is going to be a major pain in the ass, but I'm hoping that it will be worth it.
Wish me luck, fans. I'm sorry, again, that things didn't work out with my video or with this class. I'm going on, now, to play a class that hasn't been shafted for three years.
Thank you all.

we can only hope now that blizz will realize that there is no reason to agrovate a whole class by simply crippiling them and ignoring them. we can only hope that we may be herd.
Treisk,
We will miss your voice on the Hunter Forums trying to make big blue care about, and understand the hunter class. You were a champion of our cause and one of very few voices of clarity on the subject. Best of luck with your warrior. I myself am torn between rolling a lock or pally because I see no other option but to re-roll or cancel my account.
