Keep him at bay from the rip lol. Pair up with another class that has a lot of kite and lock down potential. Dunno what to tell you tbh. Personally, I wouldn’t mind seeing Hunters get a buff to be more well rounded whether it be in their defensives, control, or movement. However, I don’t think nerfing the spear yoink is going to matter lol. Is Warrior your only real gripe? Because some classes are just counters as well lol.
Warrior charges, I disengage (20 sec CD), Warrior charges my disengage, Warrior spears…now what? How do you stop which has no life?
Pipe dream. If you ask why I’m so pessimistic on this look at Hunter representation for both solo shuffle and 3s on Check PvP statistics. Bottom of the barrel right along with Mages as a whole.
No absolutely not, there are so many busted classes right now and I really don’t have the time of day to get into all of them. This specific thread is about Spear though so I’m giving my input.
Warrior charges, disengage and put a frost trap between you and the warrior, when he charges again, he runs into trap and freezes than you laugh in hunter. If he leaps concussive or scatter and dip. Play tag. Warrior will be out of juice while you beam him lol.
We can argue hypotheticals all day.
Frost trap immediately dispelled by Warriors healer, I told you don’t ever frost trap a dps.
It would actually be best to scatter into a steel trap…which then the warrior simply laughs in Warrior and whirlwinds. Then catches me with a simple charge since charge CD is the same as disengage but Warriors have…2 of them lol.
We can, and Warrior mobility has an answer to Hunter kiting every…single…time.
Sounds to me like your problem is team mates tbh.
I just laid out a 1v1 situation against a Warrior man, this isn’t even involving teammates lol.
Hunter in this current meta is already useless as is, thats some garbage that you say Hunter needs crutches by playing with insane teammates to get wins.
This isn’t some “get gud” scenario you think it is. Spear is a legitimate hard counter to a Hunter who already gets hard countered by every single other spec in the game right now. (besides maybe mages)
No. 
Throwing the game.
People just don’t want to believe me when I say frost trapping a dps is a terrible idea…but when Dilly says something about above it’s like word from god.
It just generally sets you back too far in terms of pressure to have it on anybody other than the healer unless maybe they’re playing something that can easily and reliably rip it off otherwise.
Maybe I could see a case for it in 2 occasionally but still it usually kind of stings to have it not go on the healer.
So use binding shot or steel trap.or have your druid healer Root the warrior. Again, explore your options and call for buffs rather than nerfs lol. I’m with you in the underwhelming power of hunters, not with you in spear being the culprit.
2s maybe, but 3s it just won’t work, Missing a trap or having to burn a trap on a dps in this current meta is so unforgiving to a Hunter. I feel like currently I need to play absolutely perfectly to pull out a win most games.
And even games where I miss zero traps, blanket silence the healer on CD, Scatter/Steel trap a melee dps on CD, I still lose due to just flat out some classes have ridiculous damage output and need to spend less globals than me.
Great now the Warrior on my face is also on my face but rooted there

How do either of these do anything against a warr spear man? Rooting a melee when you are STUCK next to the melee does absolutely nothing.
Drop RoP, warrior gets angry.
This is in reference to your scenario of the disengage warrior and he charges ect…
Tbh, we ain’t ever gonna reach a concensus on this. You’re stuck in your ways and me in mine so frankly not gonna humor the discussion furtherm hopefully they give you options in the future, until then, play a different class. XD
We can literally do this all day, Warrior has a Whirlwind on the same CD as Steel trap so thats kind of out of the window. And concussive does nothing when a Warrior is already ontop of me hamstringing me with the exact same slow.
The thing is I’m actually not stuck in my ways, I take advice pretty often here on the forums. But in this instance there is literally zero advice to give to counter an ability that keeps a Hunter locked down for 6 seconds of a match and forces the Hunter to use every defensive possible (thus putting them completely on the backfoot).
No there is no counter to a spear for Hunter.

1 defensive actually, but hey, like I said, keep up your petition, we’ll see if it gets you anywhere lol.
That is fine, I will trade RoP for Spear and BS. They can’t kick during BS so it’s a fine time to heal through. Most warriors I see ignore the MW because they can pressure them more by going after DPS.
Stormbolt, charge, spear.
If you can’t get those combo off I’m not sure what to tell you
