Why are Hunters doing more melee damage than Warrior’s without their pet?
Epic 2 hand warrior vs blue weapon Hunters and it’s not even close.
Blizzard have you tested any damn thing when it comes to PvP balance? ANYTHING?

As a hunter, i REALLY don’t want to be a melee class. I wish that they were given way more incentive to continue to be a ranged class but that’s clearly not what this Dev teams intentions are.

embrace the chad fury pvp spec
Most likely because they are using Lone Wolf, a rune that gives 30% increased damage when you don’t have a pet out…

They are not.

I dont think the devs intentionally railroaded hunters into melee. I think they just wanted to make the spec viable but don’t have anyone on the dev team that understand how damage scaling works.

then why does the pvp bow have a proc for melee hunters

Because the epic raid gun is already designed for ranged hunter, and they want to enable both play styles?

Because they probably just forgot to put a weapon for ranged hunters in? I dont think they even have a hunter on the dev team, and were trying to make a whole new spec viable (melee).

Tank the boss and keep quiet or we will replace you with a Warlock.

Because warriors scale like crazy. This happens every single patch. You guys always suck at the start and it’s purely based on how your class interacts with stat scaling. Give it a few weeks, get some gnomer gear, and this will change.
Warriors are really struggling just to hit stuff. Once you get your hit % back up, get crit back up, and get stronger top end weapons, this will change.

Probably not, unless they nerf boss armor. Gnomer has more armor than MC currently.

That armor affects Hunters too and clearly it isn’t relevant
Jesus man. Warriors aren’t on top for FIVE DAYS and they’re having a meltdown.

Because melee hunter is far and away the best DPS in the game. Its absurdly broken.
Fair enough
lol warriors finding out what its like to be any other class

I don’t think any SoD Dev knows the fundamentals of each class based on how awful some of the runes are and the fact the many classes still have glaring issue. Look at Druids (of course many other classes suffer these issues too), all the specs are incredibly lacking but could be solved easily.
Who thought to make Mangle and Lacerate (Bear tank’s only two single target abilities in TBC) on the same slot and not make Swipe scale with anything.
Why wouldn’t they give Ferals a rune that gives them Feral Attack Power base in their weapons DPS like in TBC and Wrath? This made them decently viable. They could also add this to the Predatory Strike talent
Why would they make Lifebloom so expensive when in every other expansion it was dirt cheap or was used to return mana (clearcasting). Without talents that only exist in TBC/WotLK Lifebloom is garbage.
Who thought it was a good idea to give Boomkin’s a 1000 damage instant but not buff the rest of their kit? This makes them useless without SS so it will probably never be nerfed.
So many issues would be solved if Blizzard would be willing to give Hybrids (and others) extra runes to bring them up to speed or just alter the current talents like they did for us Shadow Priests. Not everyone wants shiny new abilities, some people just want their class to be viable in classic.
what’s wrong with enabling two playstyles for hunter?
Melee hunter is insanely fun

Mained warrior for a long time and that is not the problem in SoD. Every class has so much burst damage that a warrior can’t even get enough time to get to their burst. Most classes are starting with a “full rage” bar where a warrior starts from 0 and can’t get to their burst fast enough before they die. It’s the lack of stamina and defensives that is murdering warriors.
