He isnât just complaining about nerfs if you had any reading comprehension skills. This is a design issue, not a numbers issue.

Theyâre still doing great in BFD. Nice try.
Giving pets more damage is a design issue, I agree. His whole argument that âyou canât get glancing blows thatâs why Hunters are so goodâ falls apart when pets are the primary damage source for Hunters.
Once pets are fixed, then Hunter damage itself can be rectified. Pushing Hunters to melee-weave in order to attain top DPS is how the class should play, not have pets doing this much.
I think that making melee weaving viable (as in, a hybrid range/melee spec) is going to lead to balancing issues in pvp so long as the deadzone exists.
Classes should not be balanced around world PvP.

Well I wonât mind being overpowered in PvP, so I wonât disagree with you here. I might in some other thread though.
Melee-weaving was already known and the best way to Hunter DPS in 05-06 anyways, Blizzard should reinforce that playstyle instead of allowing pets to do this much damage.

I just donât think itâs possible unless they leave multishot and aimed shot the only viable marksman damage abilities and only give us viable melee damage abilities from here on, which I donât think the majority of hunters want them to do. Well, they could also remove the deadzone, but I think the majority of other players donât want them to do that.
SoâŚhunters should play exactly like 05-06?
What happened to âfresh take on classicâ?

Raptor Strike has a 6s CD so thereâs plenty of time to weave out for MS and AS.
Well yes, there is for MS and AS (and MS and ASâs cds slot together well), thatâs why I specified that the playstyle would be possible if those were the only viable range CDs in the game, but when I look around and read the room most people are saying âif you nerf pets please buff chimaera/explosive shotâŚâ NOT âif you nerf pets please buff raptor strike so that weaving is BISâŚâ
If chimaera/explosive shot get fixed, I just donât see weaving being viable, and people want them fixed, myself included. I donât expect the three shots to play nice and slot together well enough for weaving to be best with the deadzone.
Well I hope Blizzard doesnât listen to the Hunters in the room because they have, for decades, wanted the least skilled expression in their kit. They just want to be able to press 1-2-3 and top meters without any downtime or need to do real mechanics.

More than half your bullet points are nonsense. Looking like you hunters are going to need to learn how to play the game now that you are finally balanced out to the rest of us!
Idk man my scorpid poison still ticking for 60-80 and Iâm only lvl 20 in full greens. You sure its that bad?

Well, Iâm not worried either way, because if weaving becomes viable alongside chimaera or explosive, the amount of damage it does to justify potentially missing part of a CD is going to be WILD and I canât wait to use that on people in pvp.
Weaving will never be viable. Using ranged abilities isnât even viable.

why should the only bow/gun class have to melee weave? Why canât we just do well with our guns/bows.

Ah yes, compared to rogue so much a skill disparity. Spam sabre slash, get top dps.

Rogue does have skill disparity because they can have actual downtime on their entire kit, including their auto attacks. Hunters do not have (and have never) had issues with downtime like every other class in the game.
