Can expect a 20-30% nerf.

So take the class known for baseline strong performance at lower levels in vanilla, and nerf it based off of week one, sweat lord gnomer clears where most of the classes haven’t even begun to scale into P2 gear yet. Typical
Its not so far ahead that it needs to be addressed. It just the best dps day one before anything else has fallen into place. Its not causing problems, and would be totally asinine to nerf it this early. They should focus on buffing the under performers that have a larger gap to the top than lock priest have to hunter

i would agree but the trend is take top performer X and reduce until midpack, repeat, unless its class starts with a W or R

Warrior was top of P1 for multiple weeks without any nerfs, so your theory does not hold water.

warrior was midpack for multiple weeks.
also its name starts w a W, so it tracks
I don’t think Blizz nerfs for PvE related stuff. Just look at Warriors all last phase.

No buff the rest. Logs only for fun , ppl don’t get paid for being on top. And btw a dps class cant be top dps ? What is the logic? Don’t be salty and jealous
yes

Haha I guess we’ll see how biased they really are.

agree. i think the major issue is the “damage ramp up”. rogues have a tick time of 4s for mutilate burst unless they thistle.
warrs, similar pvp experience but other side of it.
melee hunters can run LW and boom a massive 1700 burst in an instant on a clothie. ofc the logical answer is to cc, but no one ccs, they just cry or make meme vids that r bad for SoD PR.
they have a golden opportunity to nerf the class for pvp by giving RS a similar rogue or warr-esque “ramp up” (e.g., make FS stack higher and give less % damage per stack, with high chance of FS reset to compensate), but something creative like that won’t be done. it’ll just be a flat 20-30% damage nerf
It’s so far ahead because raptor strike ignores armor values while rogue and warrior have to deal with targets having 4k armor. I expect the duel wield rune probably to go from 30% extra damage with the same weapon type to 15-20%

Yup, no need to wait for people to get gear or figure things out, just nerf nerf nerf the only pure dps class.

So it’s a skill issue instead a balancing issue.
Well, we’ll see. But I still think blizzard should buff other classes

isn’t this the theme? every nerf has been leveling down since inception. no need to cc the wind serpent or the druid, let me run into melee and keyboard turn and win
Well, just put the armor mechanism in raptor strike. I respect that melee attack should be countered by target armor. If that is it, it’s a fix not nerf.
Good, I never asked for any of this garbage. I play a hunter to play a ranged class with some side melee support. If I wanted to play melee I would play my rogue or my warrior.

era is that way. u can log in and create a character.
not all of us want to be a trueshot totem for The Warrior™.
p.s. - ranged hunter is currently garbage. we’re doing the same dps we were at lvl 25, sans bombs & expose weakness or clunky SS WITH melee weave. so feel free to play that spec. i actually like playing surv for pvp, so
Ppl just salty and jealous don’t want to see others having fun. I never had problem with starsurge or sunder armor. Never complained about other classes to be op. I play hunter, just play the strength of class and have fun. Why eyes on others and being afraid of they are doing too good?

This is a pretty reasonable take on it.
My only worry is the burst is all melee hunter has going for it in pvp (solo that is, in group play trap launcher is amazing and you can really tear people up), but I also understand that if I really want to pvp I can just respec into a better pvp build.

Don’t be stupid, no one plays era. You and everyone that enjoys this change are the vocal minority pushing what is a meme spec. If anyone actually dies to a melee hunter in pvp it’s a serious skill issue.
Already aware, it’s why I am force to play this stupid playstyle until I get all my BIS for pvp from Gnomer.
