Hunter trapping really feels extremely outdated when any little damage will instantly break it. Since it’s our main form of CC I feel like Diamond ice should be baseline and not lower the amount of time someone is trapped for.
That would fix the issue of just mongo aoe damage breaking a healer immediately out of traps. As for Hunter defensively most people knew going into DF that Hunter was going to suffer. While all these other classes got nice new toolkit for defensives Hunter got a tenacity pet heal that will never be used since most Hunters are required to take the masters call pet to even survive.
That being said Masters call should be a baseline ability again for Hunters, and the cunning pet ability should be something brand new. Maybe some new form of CC or something else I dunno. But making Masters call baseline allows Hunters to dip into either a Leech pet or take that 20% heal pet instead which would help out a bit.
Now would this fix all of Hunters issues currently? No, but it would be a start combined with outlier class tuning that would tone down some of these others classes survivability and damage.
