Blizzard never cared about PvP Balance in Classic. Thats what retail is for.
I dont really think melee hunters in PvP is the biggest balance concern at the moment, but knowing SoD’s past i wouldnt be surprised if hunters get nerfed again.
Also i can’t really see the video on my end but if its just a single duel im not really sure how that qualifies as “proof” lmao

Maybe…start caring?
So you watched that clip? You think that’s appropriate balance?
The justification every warrior gives for being 100% ahead of everyone is raids is that they’re bad in PvP. You’re asking to be buffed in PvP and the other classes to be nerfed. Do you want to have your PvE damage reduced by 60% to compensate for it?

It’s…not…a…single…duel.
Would you like me to collect some more videos? Record some throughout the day?
hunters now bis melee in pve and bis melee in pvp it seems.
No it wont let me click it. The image on your post above says clips. twitch.tv refused to connect. Just saw a video of boomkins critting for 1600 in arathi basin tho. Yea it sucks. Seems the only solution to get to aggrend’s head to fix classes is to make these op classes on the opposite faction of him and camp him! I feel your pain, but I know i signed up for this in classic.
Some premade vs premade WSG or AB could be cool. Let me know how “‘melee hunter” performs in a live-fire scenario.
The fact that no one is talking about melee hunter as this raging menace is the proof in the pudding, let’s be honest about that. The whine meta is often pretty good at identifying what is broken.

I think having a lot of concise evidence definitely not only helps your case but could bring it to the attention of others.
Like said above I dont think melee hunter is that entirely impressive in PvP, PvE is very different.

To be fair, I dont even think the dev team know their own intentions.
Either way, as a hunter i am NOT opposed to giving me a maximum range when im melee hunter. For example, they could add to melee specialist rune a “cant use ranged weapons past 10yds but removes the minimum range”. Idk just a thought. This way we dont get to have our cake and eat it too
Ya, having a couple of issues linking this clip again idk why. But I will record some content.
Charging in as a Warrior and doing quite literally 20% of the Hunter’s damage and getting slapped is ridiculous.
Why don’t you watch the clip are you that dense?
So, you’re experienced enough with the game to understand that Hunters always scale very well early on and then tend to fall off, whereas Warriors are pretty much the opposite, yeah? We saw this at the start of P1, and we’re seeing it again at the start of P2. Additionally, Melee Hunters don’t have anything for gap closing / etc whereas Warriors have numerous amounts. Sure, getting out of their melee range is going to enable them to attack from ranged, but they’re going to be significantly weaker.
Did you watch the clip you linked yourself? Ahmpy literally replaces Lion with Lone Wolf in the VOD.
That is not the situation I am discussing at the start of this thread.
Would you like me to find the clip I am speaking of from my personal experiences?
the issue isn’t just hunters the overall damage output in pvp is INSANE
Imagine linking a duel where a melee hunter gets a 9% crit chance twice in a row high roll as a reason for melee hunters being a problem. Yeah. We hit hard. As we should. We have to close to melee. Every other melee right now is trucking. I just got hit 5 minutes ago by a shred for 900 from a feral. A rogue just one combo’d my druid buddy instantly. Paladin walked up to me and HoJ’d me and Divine Storm/Crusader striked me for 1.6k. SoD is about damage. Stop crying that damage exists. Melee hunter has NO gap closer besides concussive shot, and we die to ANY ranged before that happens.

Warrior’s don’t hit hard. Should they?
Are…Warriors?
Like Warriors?
Pathetic that people could see the amount of damage that’s going out and actually sit there and defend it. Have you seen the raid logs?
Even though it looks really powerful there isn’t a single boss that topped by a melee hunter.
Wait for a week to have a bigger sample then we will have a better idea.
