I think it’s strange Survival Hunter needs to invest 3 talent points into Lunge for a +3yd melee range increase while Rogues get a +3yd increase in their base tree and another +3yd in the Outlaw tree and both are only one talent point of investment.
I know SV hunters can use/mog a lot of different two-handed weapons, but I feel like the iconic option is the spear. It’s weird to me that I’ll be getting out-ranged in melee combat by a guy with swords because spears just aren’t long enough I guess.
I know this isn’t terribly important, but I wanted to know what my fellow Survival hunters thought about this? For me personally, peppering someone with blows from a spear and keeping them at a distance is kind of the Survival flavor I’m looking for and I’m just a little upsetti spaghetti that rogues will continue to keep this advantage with their long linguine arms.

It’ll be nice for certain builds with a heavier focus on melee attacks and less on bomb spam–if those even end up being any good. Realistically, SV does not benefit to the extent that a rogue does. The bulk of our abilities are ranged. Likely not worth investing in for most setups.
Agree, especially for 3 points. If it were 1 point, maybe, but 10% of your spec points just to get 3 yards on raptor strike (mongoose) and autoattack? Not worth.
hunter Class spec is messed up go get the priest and rouge developer and have them redo this spec

Yeah it should be +35 yards.
rogue uses 2 points for +6 yards using swords and daggers, while hunter uses 3 points for +3 yards using a spear…
Something doesn’t add up.
This is the 4 thread I have posted this in, important point to me. The only thing I would like to share is there are too many 3 point thing in this tree. Drop them all to one. The rest of those points I hope to put into “Buffs” that beef me up to help me survive. I am after all a survival hunter that does melee.

Heh that is why I am thinking the increased melee range should either be baseline or more than 3 yards if we have to spend points in it. And I get it , it’s a fantasy game but surely my spear will give me increased range over attacking with a dagger?
