Their damage is too high why would the devs add attack speed after nerfing them LOL.
As a statistically literate person it is sad to read your misinterpretation of basic data.

You must be bad at your job then. Clearly it shows the median for hunter is higher than every other class by a sizeable margin, indicating they are super easy to play.
Their low end is also higher than any other class.
You don’t sound like you are good at statistics at all if this escapes you.
Just saying it should be some other buff/ benefit than dmg, also could be hit/crit. Straight dmg buff gets ppl jealous and cry for nerf
No it doesn’t. The median being higher at lower brackets is “one” indicator of how effective their floor is among a field of players that are playing at an average level. There are multiple obvious confounding factors and the objective difficulty of a class isn’t more represented by lower brackets. This is all a deflection anyway, since the original discussion wasn’t about how “difficult” a class is.
Why exactly was it needed? Melee hunters have 0 toolkit, the only thing going for them was burst. No stuns, fears, roots, and only 1 ranged slow on 12 sec cd. No way to close gaps, no ‘oh sh*t’ buttons, really only 1 viable melee attack (with the other being on 30 sec cd). How is nerfing the only ability that makes them viable by THIRTY PERCENT anything but a complete evisceration of the spec? HoL bots only thing left now.

It’s part of their Too-Bursty problem. 1 attack was accounting for 70-80% of our damage and it was INTENSE in PVP and PVE, it needed SOME kind of nerf.
As I said, the nerf on Raptor Strike is fine, the lack of any buffs to other abilities is not.

Does it really matter if 1 ability does it or 3-4? I don’t see any nerfs on Mutilate for rogues even though whenever I get jumped by one and look at the log its ‘mut mut mut mut’ in between cheap and kidney.

The way raptor strike functioned by being repeatable and hitting strongly for 800-1,600 rapidly on every global was a problem. Yes, it was a CHANCE to get this to NOT go on CD, but it happened enough to be problematic.
Spamming 1-ability isn’t a problem, either, as we used Flanking strike to then buff it, but it was hitting too hard on most things and we haven’t even seen what a fully-bis hunter could do at that level in PVP/PVE.
Rogues actually have a whole list of abilities to worry about and analyze, mutilate is currently the Meta, but they’re not necessarily godly in comparison.
“Hunter nerf” theres only 1
First, raptor strike had to be made repeatable because its the only viable attack a hunter has in melee range. If it wasn’t what would be the source of damage? Mongoose Bite? Wingclip? CARVE? LOL. Also, it did not hit for 800-1600 on every global lol, maybe if you got a couple lucky crits in a row. Mine, in full bis, hits for around 400dmg per global non crit, crits usually land for about 900-1000 which is perfectly in line with boomy starsurges, shammy lava bursts, lock chaos bolt, etc etc. If I don’t get a proc my only source of dps is auto attack swings. And anyway, nerfing a class based on some lucky rng crits is ridiculous. Nerf destro lock chaos bolt, shammy lava burst, rogue mutilate and envenom, mage pom pyroclast, etc etc etc then.
I don’t really think you read my post because I stated that they need to buff Mongoose/Carve or Wingclip or all of the above to make an ACTUAL rotation and not just 1 button spam.
SO just knowing you only read my first sentence, I’ll just stop there and bid you goodnight.
Yeah I did read your post, and then in your other post you say “Spamming 1 ability isn’t a problem”, so I’m not sure why not it’s suddenly a problem to you now? Do they need ‘an actual rotation’ or not? Most classes don’t have this massive rotation of attacking abilities, but they do have utility toolkits that hunters don’t have. If they don’t have burst they don’t have anything else. This nerf is retarded and will gut the class completely and I’m not sure why you won’t admit that.
RIP Bowzo.

You are 100% bad at your job and you have no clue how to read statistics.
So when you read my response and understood I was correct, I assume you stewed and seethed for a long time because you knew you couldn’t refute anything I said and decided a really pathetic attempt at an insult would be too lame but eventually went through with it.
No I think you are clueless because you sound clueless.
Too bad your class got nerfed.
Ok, you’ve conceded I’m correct and don’t have a response at this point, good luck then.
What about people who just want to play hunter lmfao
I’d love to be able to play my hunter and not have to be forced to respec and change my gear so that I can do the best I can for my guild. It’s kind of annoying I get it a lot of people like flavor of the month and it’s fun to watch them suffer but it is genuinely frustrating. imagine if warrior flip flopped between weapon types every few weeks and the way were playing and gearing had to change. I don’t like to min max but I do like to feel like I’m contributing to guild success.
