I’d actually level my hunter if ranged was better. It’s only slightly above frost mage right now, which in PvE is fully a meme spec.
It is quite simple. Hunters that spend 1g are considerate raiders, hunters that do not spend 1g are role playing.
It’s time to move on fella.

Ranged hunter op on thermaplugg
Except warrior is the most represented melee dps amongst speedrunners in gnomer.

Now if we are talking about the average Joe yes melee hunter is op but ranged is trash af no matter the setting.
that’s a strange stat to use. if you use a normal one (i.e. an actual dps chart separated by class), you will see that warriors are not very good.
Top warriors are doing good though, there is a diff between average and speedrunners.
if you are average in an average group that only wants to kill the boss then yes warrior is meh.
PS: I can’t really explain the speedrun stats but it’s how it is. I suppose cleaving has something to do with it.
I will flat out say it, melee hunters need a 25% damage nerf and ranged hunters need a 10-15% damage buff.
Spend hours respeccing and gearing a spec that’s going to be heavily nerfed in the next two weeks.
Hmmmm.

If the boss is dying easily (and it is), who cares?
It’s like trying to metagame the optimal method of sticking mail in your mailbox. Sure, you might save a second or two, but when the task is so trivial to begin with, you’re just being a moron.

N’aw ranged hunters are valid for mechanics, bombs, etc.
Had a ranged hunter who was staying very nicely with the caster’s DPS. Could they beat the melee hunter? No, but SOMEBODY has to do mechanics.
My guild runs ranged Hunters because we want our Warriors and Rogues to raid still. It’s still easily done and usually takes us about an hour to full clear. Not very difficult.
Yup this is also true. I do wish the bombs had slightly less health so an auto-shot or chimera would guarentee 1 tap the bombs.
That’s not true at all, and you have no idea what you’re talking about. Range Hunter is a big asset on the 3rd and 5th boss of Gnomer. Maybe you should post your opinions on brain surgery, because I am sure you know nothing about that either.
I’d rather have a ranged hunter on thermaplugg than a melee hunter. Its not a dps race boss.
Why would they need to be nerfed when they arn’t even top damage in the raid
mmm, you understand the more damage done to the boss = faster phase = less overall damage going to people
Agreed, this goes back to needing a few buffs to ranged hunter runes for them to be competitive with other classes (certain warlock specs, fire mages, etc.) but otherwise they’re still very very valid.
Melee hunter is a SUPER easy spec and, unfortunately, a lot of the fights just do not need melee to do anything.
