Im glad we’ve started to take away the opressive pets and decide to make the hunter themself stronger and im fine being 2 shot by the ranged gcds as theres actual counterplay but can we tone down the 2k dmg and perma cc traps?
We can never have hunter balanced its either to weak or too strong

Not to copy from a different post but…
Is it strong right now in PvE? yes…but hunter have little scaling and peak early every phase (less improvement than most classes with new gear upgrades…look at ranged hunter in phase 3 where a full BiS was only ~60 dps higher than a raid pre-BiS).
Is it strong right now in PvP? yes…but that can be addressed without crippling the hunters in PvE and destroying an entire playstyle. Explosive Trap damage can be shifted to the DoT portion to reduce burst and create counterplay (the DoT is a ground effect, can walk out of it). The Entrapment talent (root) can be changed to only trigger on initial trap application @ the current 25% chance instead of a 25% chance every 3-sec pulse like it does currently. This prevents a single hunter from chain rooting groups of people…could go further to add diminishing returns to prevent multiple hunters from doing it.
There…PvP issues solved and the hunter’s PvE spec/rotation is unhindered.
EDIT: Also…make friends with Paladins or invest in FAPs…that market is popping off right this moment.
Top kek is popping a fap to run across the bridge and engage the hunter only to step on 2-3 bouncing Betty mines and die halfway across.
Fighting one hunter is like storming the beach at Normandy…obstacles,mines and gun fire.

People just wants hunter to be weak it’s been this way for years.
If only there was a version of WoW where all classes were homogenized and made equal for pvp.
Something like balancing for a fighting arena where people were only fighting on equal terms.
Their traps are pretty anyoing tho and can keep you perm CCed if you walk into one until death. They need make em so they only can CC you 1 time per trap! 3 times i got dazzed moving through a frost trap, hehe.
Once the raids open and people upload logs there will be an endless stream of hunters crying for buffs.
