So dont let them get in melee without being hard CCed or disarmed?

There is counterplay. You just are not using it.

not the case, it just wasn’t normalized, unlike white hits, so it scaled inappropriately with slow weapons. it’s normalized now

It was never bugged. Raptor strike does no ignore armor. Do you really fall for every rumor you see posted here? A simple check of logs and you would clearly see a dramatic drop off in raptor strike damage for a hunter between the first and last boss in gnomergan.

Did… Did you forget other melee have to get in melee range? Believe it or not, people play classes other than priests and boomkins. Wild, I know.

And even then, outside mage, like hunters have a hard time catching an opponent.

186

if raptor strike isn’t ignoring armor because of some bug, then it’s even more overpowered :expressionless:

187

What’s more likely is you’re just bad.

188

Did you forget they have stuns, disarms, massive defensive CDs, which hunters do not have?

And how does that help you get to the target?

190

because warriors have 30 minute cooldowns, melee hunters are balanced :clown_face:

191

So you just want to automatically win every engagement with a hunter?

192

So many classes can beat hunters in melee, even a warrior with OP procs. Just because you watched a highlight real doesn’t mean that’s how it always plays out.

193

Counter most of that with feign trap my guy. Deterrence if survival, pet stun + Bestial Wrath if BM (pet can continue to chunk while you CC’d fyi), and lets not act like hunters are made out of toilet paper. PvP trinket, free action potion, racials, many counters.

But one thing that’s almost impossible to counter is getting globaled by a over tuned ability.

Here’s a macro for you huntards that are by some miracle stuggling to kill any melee:

#showtooltip
/petpassive
/cast Feign Death
/cast Freezing Trap

There, now you’re equipped to win every PvP encounter with 2 buttons.

196

Imagine playing something straight broken and you guys just defend it because you’re finally “good” at the game lmfao.

Can’t wait for the nerfs.

Literally what? This is sod, where hunters have been overtuned since p1. You don’t need reels to see how stupid broke hunters are, just like we didn’t need reels to see how broken starsurge and sw death was.

You’re right. I must’ve missed that 1.6k crit starsurge that I got on my druid. Also must’ve missed the 5k damage a hunter dealt to my shaman with way of earth in the span of 6 seconds.

Considering many 1h weapons (sword of omen, vanq sword), etc are sub 2.4 speed, its actually a large buff. It literally hits harder than before the patch because the AP component of your instant damage is now calculated as if it were a slower weapon.

201

I would like then to move the power into other abilities, but melee hunter really doesn’t have other abilities.

Its total damage output is fine, the burst is a bit high, but its hardly the only one with burst at those levels. At the very least though it does require melee range to do, some others with similar burst do it from 30+y away.
