New hunter runes?

Okay fellow hunters, let’s stir up the already boiling pot, what new hunter runes do we wana see next phase? I’ll start…

Rune of no dead zone.

What do yall have in mind?

Deadzone rune would break the game Fr.

Mobility disengage might be okay.

In combat traps maybe.

Rune of permanent Eyes of the Beast: you play as the pet from now on and control the hunter with your pet UI

LMFAO. Ye that’s fitting for the meme hunters became in sod honestly.

In combat traps

Camouflage would be awesome.

Rune to make the Melee spec tank. (would go hand n’ hand with explosive trap in combat giving us a consecrate esque ability) Removes the min range from distracting shot or turns disengage into a taunt similar to feint/tease. As well as a Raptor Strike being an auto reset.

If they give BM anything else, we’re just gonna get nerfed for it. Beastial Wrath is gonna be complained about so hard as is.

Don’t care about dead zone.

Silencing shot
Traps in combat/trap launcher
Dispel on arcane shot
Disengage that launches you back
Fire Trap knockback

Steady shot so they have something to press.

Was thinking of a possible Rogue rune that we might see.

Combo points on the Rogue

you can always spam your autoshot macro if you feel the need to press something

I just press serpent sting, make sure the boss feels every second of that 4 DPS ability.

Also if no arcane shots crit thats an extra 5.5 dps over a whole minute, feel every piece.

“Why are Hunter pets so strong”??

Hmm maybe cuz they have a 4 DPS ability and a 5.5 DPS ability…

I want a AoE Growl rune or a Misdirect rune that only works on pets.

Why not start by making Lone Wolf competitive with BM, or even within 25% of BM’s output?

Lone Wolf is a bad rune the amount of power that it would need to give the hunter to make it worth using would make hunter aimed shots one shot poorly geared casters.

it seems bad now but lone wolf is actually NUTS way later. trust me on this.

It wouldn’t be any worse than Lightning currently is. The headband gets a fair bit of mileage there.

misdirect
interrupt
proper tank rune
beast cleave of some kind
one that lets your pet learn an extra special ability from a different pet family
traps in combat (maybe a launcher but meh)

Ideally make it share a slot that focuses on making melee viable.

So

Rune of raptors revenge
-empowers raptor strike to no longer wait for next melee attack, does not reset auto attack timer, and the CD is reduced by 3 seconds.
Critical strikes with raptor strike now make mongoose bite useable as if you dodged an attack and mongoose bite now always deals +50% weapon damage.

Rune of steady shot
-steady shot ability, this ability does more damage the farther from the target you are (under 10 yards is 40% weapon damage, 10-20y is 80% 30+y is 120%, this is example numbers so tuning needed)

Rune of hit and run
Arcane shot (or any ability that shares CD with it) now marks the target for 4 seconds causing your next raptor strike to deal 100% more damage and increase your move speed by 60% for 2 seconds

This gives hunters 3 playstyle options

Full melee, full ranged, or a weave build.

give me a shoter CD on raptor strike and make flanking last longer. or give me another button to press more often. It feels so bad when nothing resets and melee hunter turns into a ret paladin simulator without WF.
