Hunters can get out of combat in a boss encounter(2.3 fix)

Same Patch where the deadzone was removed, Feign Death was changed to not drop combat only drop aggro. Currently you can drop combat and swap a full gearset during a boss fight.
Patch 2.3.0 (13-Nov-2007): Fixed a bug in which Hunters were able to disengage from combat using Feign Death during boss encounters.

Wait a second…that’s a bug? Feign death literally has one job. This.

Not necessarily to drop combat, but to get a mob off you.

Hunters are already top dogs, they shouldn’t get to enjoy the benefit of no deadzone and dropping combat with FD.

maybe they didn’t want people to drink while in a boss fight…I’m kinda glad this is still a thing in arenas…but that’s kinda lame regarding jumper cables, no battle rez :rofl:

This is not reasoning for disabling core mechanics.

While literally every other class gets to enjoy the benefit of no deadzone.

They can do it in every other non-boss encounter. It feels like a boss specific special case scenario this happens with now.

7

As long as it does not nerf the hunter in pvp, its all fine.

8

I guess…

It’s more for trinket swapping and potentially gear swapping as well that could be a problem.

maybe since its a 2.3 change they are saving it for a later phase.

That doesn’t make any sense, as the balancing was never intended to be progressive. Otherwise, WW would still only hit with the MH and there’d still be a deadzone.

Nononono, deadzone was removed a lot earlier than 2.3. Stop it.

Meanwhile we still have the slow aimed shot. It doesn’t have the 0.5 second cast reduction. They are definitely picking and choosing. Especially because the other half of the change is the mortal strike is in…something that’s gonna be great for hunters in Season 1 as they never had it before.

…no, it was removed in 2.3.

This^
was in 2.3 with the deadzone removal, This doesn’t affect pvp or trash. Only when engaged with a raid boss you shouldn’t be able to drop combat.

Hunters

  • Untalented firing range of 5-35 yards, eliminating the [deadzone].
  • It is no longer possible to keep 2 targets frozen at the same time.
  • [Viper Sting] can no longer be applied to enemies who don’t use mana.
  • It is no longer possible to [Feign Death] to leave combat during raid boss encounters, it still wipes aggro to avoid death. Feign Death still works as before on Non-boss mobs.

Out of curiosity, are you on the Beta?

It could be only coded to work on TBC raid bosses.

I guarantee players would find an exploit if that were the case.
