Did a BG (and left cause Im sick of dealing with this). Every single game. Hunters top out in dmg. in the screenshot here, 7 of the 10 classes on their side is hunter. yeah yeah, but they’re not op. sureeee. just explain then why hunters continuously top dmg in bgs lately? blizzard isnt even doing anything about it!
hunters in leather should not be able to do this much damage. but when warriors are able to 1-2 shot people, theres thousands of forum posts within the hour. Im sick of it. warriors are supposed to be op, its literally our class. wearing plate and wielding 2h, we should be able to 1-2 shot most classes that are stupid enough to be in our striking range.

someone at blizzard must main hunter if they think this is okay. nerf them before scourge event or youre going to have people complaining on the forums as much as me.
Will they still be OP in the first patch of shadowland? Maybe. Will other classes close to them in DPS? Sure. Will hunters be OP for the whole duration of shadowlands? No one knows.
Let’s not jump into the nerf hunters bandwagon just yet.
I mean, the pally smoked them all and the lock was right in the middle of them. Seems like pallies need to be nerfed instead. Or, your sample size is insignificant and doesn’t tell us anything useful.
oh right, mail. still why is mail stronger than plate it seems?
Most definitely. hunters will be the most sought after class for mythic+ and arenas. Unlimited mobility, pets that do a stink load of damage, play dead which makes their target untarget them for a second, concussion shot, traps, etc. the list goes on and on. hunters got the most out of their unpruning.
We aren’t even in the pre-patch, the whole system is crazy so let’s not point fingers at hunters just yet. But if you don’t mind me asking you, what exactly are you proposing? For blizzard to nerf hunters when we aren’t even in shadowlands?
we’re technically max level though. I think damage at 50 will be an indicator of damage at 60. what really will change within those 10 levels? heck they might even get more broken! with legendaries and covenant ability. just how ridiculous will that be?
yeah true, paladin dmg is insane, but my point is that hunters are all doing damage around the same, and theyre all at the top. Im sure there were other paladins on their team but they probably didnt do half the damage that pally did. while the hunters are all doing around the same dmg, which is higher than most other classes if you look at the median.
harsh, but yes. blizzard is doing a free week right now, but if anyone tries pvping during that week, I certainly dont think theyll be too excited (for shadowlands) to keep getting 1 shot by hunter (depending on their class).
It’s not that I died once, it’s that I keep dying. hunters continuously kill me more than any other class… as warrior. okay, maybe I suck, but the point is that they are doing too much dmg and have too much mobility, one of them has to go. they’re pretty much monks but on steroids.
disengage is what, on a 20 sec cd? they also have ice trap and concussion shot, Im sure there are other things Im missing cause I dont play the class but it feels like I cant catch up to them to save my life, even with double charge/heroic leap + hamstring.
Maybe they just know their class better than you do. Post both sides of that BG instead of just the alliance. Would like to make my own conclusions instead of just what you want me to see.
Yeah it’s possible but I left the bg shortly after screenshotting the alliance side. but again my point is that hunters are doing consistent dmg that tops out. that’s the whole point. it means anyone with half a brain can play them and do top dps on their team. making it op.
but yes, I would say I dont know my class much as I havent played in a long time. but my point still stands.
Warrior has 3 stuns, all of which SHOULD be close enough in range to be able to tag any hunter since they’re the same range as 90% of a hunter’s abilities/talents (20-30 yd range) all you’d have to do is kill a pet, wait for them to have to revive, then use storm bolt and charge one after another to stun then close in for a defenseless kill. Easy enough? You MAY have a little difficulty killing a spirit beast or exotic or tenacity pet like a cleft hoof, but if it’s a ferocity or cunning pet and you STILL cannot do enough damage to kill it then I don’t know what to tell you… maybe use something other than a warrior?
If you check out the hunter beta forums I don’t think any hunter believes anyone at Blizz mains a hunter.
Hunters are focus starved going into SL, Pets are now wet noodles with a 4 sec revive cast, Both MM and MSurv are both pretty much the red headed step children of specs and we feel like we are beaten as such.
