So is it just supposed to ignore armor? How has this not been fixed?

Because it’s a Raptor Strike, not your average dumb melee Slam or whatever.
Raptors don’t care bout no armor.

It doesnt ignore armor.
It gains 30% damage if using 2 of the same type of weapon.
It also gains damage from flanking strike.
This bonus damage counteracts the damage reduction of armor making it appear it ignores armor, but its actually gaining damage close to the amount your armor is reducing it by.

It also wasn’t normalised, so with slower weapons it was hitting much harder than say, Mortal Strike.

it’s totally fine, a hunter should for sure 1 shot a mage with instant raptors with no cd.

go look at the hits on crowd pummeler vs fallout… CP has double the armor
Have you looked at them? Just for my own parses the average damage from raptor strike drops by 30% between the two bosses. It doesn’t ignore armor.

A DW melee hunter has zero mobility. If you’re letting one get in melee range of you, that’s your problem as a terrible mage player.

frost trap, freezing trap, conc shot, intimidation, bestial wrath, aspect of the cheetah… Zero mobility? Sure they can’t charge but they can certainly control your movement.

Twas just nerfed a bit, anyways.
What’s this, nerf #14 for us Hunters since SoD launched?
It’s pretty funny they keep nerfing us, we will always find a way to crawl back.
You cannot kill Hunter! In WoW, Hunter kills you!

Tbh the first 2 nerfs completely gutted MM and everybody went BM, pretty sure they said they try to avoid such knee jerk nerfs now.
MM still hasn’t recovered btw even after the buffs.

Frost and freezing trap have to be set out of combat. If the hunter is running trap launcher, that means no dual wield spec which means way weaker raptor strikes.
Conc shot is a 4 second slow against a class that can purge them with Blink.
Intimidation is deep in the BM tree and means they won’t be as talented into RS damage, BW guarantees they have no melee damage talents. Also BW improves the pet’s mobility, not the hunter’s.
Cheetah? Really? You can’t hit the hunter with one instant or a rank one frost bolt or anything?
Really the only classes that have any right to be annoyed with Hunter atm are melee ones, if you’re getting gap closed on and killed by a hunter as a caster rn with how damage is, you’re failing spectacularly at your class.

A DW hunter isn’t trapping in combat. BW? Do you know what that ability does? Aspect of the cheetah? Just wand him lol. You are bad at the game.

Well when you start at the summit- the only place to go… is down.
Also, don’t forget the BUFF Hunters got since Lion became a freebee that didn’t take the place of other Aspects…
They really should revert that change… that’s dumb.
People like to create imaginary hunters with 31 points in all talent trees and every rune equip at the same time as their reasoning for why they should be nerfed. It’s quite comical.
