MM Hunter PvP Defense Needs Buff

Classes Hunter

Hi Blizzard Devs and other hunters:

With the numerous nerfs to MM hunter’s dps recently, I noticed hunters become much relatively rarer in PvP games such as random BGs and RBGs.

Hunter is the most popular class and the player base is ditching this class from PvP for something else which is better. I agree with that, that’s a wise choice.

However, for others like me, we are sticking with our class, we need some help in offsetting the recent nerfs. I just switched from BM to MM recently and I don’t want to switch to another class to neutralise the nerfs.

I understand that it is practically and politically impossible to reverse the recent ners.

However, I would strongly recommend to buff MM’s defense to make this class viable again in competitive PvP environment.

Please look at the top 100 ranked players in 2s, 3s and 10s, how many hunters are there? I am sure the statistics tell the story.

There are many defense buffs, but I would recommend the followings:

  1. Binding shot, please increase the target area from 5 yard to 8 or 10 yard. In a hectic PvP environment, it is very difficult to pull off a binding shot that works.

  2. Bursting Shot, please make it at least a 180 degree direction, not a narrow front cone.

  3. Scatter Shot (PvP talent), please increase the range to the normal hunter range.

  4. Make it Turtle usable in a stun.

I believe the above changes would not make it MM OP but give them a bit more survivability.

I hope other hunters will help and voice our concerns to Blizzard.

Thank you.

Wasting your breathe dude, wasting your breathe. If a hunter kills ANYONE they will cry nerfs and blizzard will listen.

I can only agree on Bursting Shot - it’s way unreliable and sometimes misses point-blank.
What Scatter Shot needs is to be put on a different DR from Freezing Trap, like it was before.
I’d rather have an option of old Deterrence instead of turtle, with 5s duration and 1.5m cd.
Buffing the aoe on Binding Shot will make the range that people have to traverse to get rooted larger aswell, not ideal. Would be better to revert it back into a 5s stun on tether break.

Take scatter shot off trap DR, put it on disorient
Make aspect of the turtle 1.5m cd 4s duration with 2 charges (less uptime, but more frequent uses)
make our pets more resilient, we may be squishy but our pets are a joke, they die to passive cleave, this is something that needs to be fixed not only for MM but sv/bm as well

Lastly, this won’t happen because PVE but i would move our damage around so its not all aimed shot + rapid fire, so our damage isn’t as easily stopped

the only thing they should do is make bursting shot a targeted ability, or give us power shot back through a pvp talent.

with latency theres not a reliable way of telling whether or not it will go off and I think it’s just a poor design at the range it’s set to.

it also would be nice if our pet hp was the same as our hp.

I miss aspect of the iron hawk. Idk why they just didn’t give us defense with lone wolf. So dumb.

If they just put roar of sacrifice baseline, made that stupid packaged pvp talent chimaral shot a 4 sec silence, and minor dmg buff, be golden.
