Tell me what classes have CDs that give them huge dodge block or parry effects?
Now who has a CD that increases their chance to resist a spell.
Range is also a huge deciding factor. Due to many ranged having tools to keep melee off of them and most melee interupts being melee range.
Disarm is melee range in most cases. But melee hunter damage is already in melee.
They have similar counterbalances but ranged has an advantage. Which is why melee typically have mobility and survival cds. Neither of which a hunter has when playing as melee hunter.
It doesnt matter if its 1 button at melee or 1 button at 42 yards.
One tap or two tap kills that require nothing more than pushing the same button repeatedly (eg no procs, debuffs applied, cast times, cooldown uses, massive lopsided gear disparity, etc) are not excusable. Theres no justification for them. Nerfs are coming just like they did to Starsurge and to SWD. You cant outplay an instant cast that has zero setup required. AND NO, praying for a Resist/Miss/Dodge/Parry is not counterplay.
And after melee hunters get it, Rogues Mutilate is next. Start getting used to the idea of it being 55 or 60 energy(which is more energy efficient than Sinister Strike or Saber Lash and RIDICULOUSLY more energy to combo point efficient if either hit crits).
In this case it does matter because hunter doesnt have stealth to sneak into melee. It doesnt have the mobility to bypass peel effects and get into melee. It doesnt have the survivability to chase you down until you run out of room to run. It cant even stop to self heal as it doesnt even have that.
Melee hunter has melee damage and nothing to help it get that damage off outside of people being asleep and letting the hunter run onto them.
Now i would be fine with them moving damage around a bit. Like making flanking strike a bleed that stacks or that 30% bonus damage from dual wield to be a stacking bleed instead. Turn some of the burst off and make it a little more over time. But the overall damage isnt actually an issue. The speed it comes out isnt fun to play against but its hardly the only offender of that in p2 pvp.
I wonder where this guy was when warriors at 60 in era were charging, sweeping strikes, cleaving entire groups of people down in 1 global. Itâs okay okay when he can do it.
No, it doesnt. Stop trying to justify a prenerf starsurge just because this time you benefit from it.
Melee hunters are going to be nerfed. Its probably going to be both Dual Wield and on Lone Wolf.
Where was i? I clearly wasnt in that particular dream. As someone thats played a warrior wearing permabis Era gear, the situation you just pulled out of your does not exist in this reality. Your whataboutisms and hyperbole do not constitute an argument.
And no, saying YEAH HUH IT DOES HAPPEN MY DAD WORKS AT NINTENDO AND TOLD ME IT HAPPENS YOURE JUST BAD HAHA GOTTEM isnt a valid response.
Raptpr strike is melee range and hunters have none of the standard tools melee get for surviving and closing the gap to grt rheir damage off. It does matter. Its the definition of glass cannon and has a large amount of counterplay because of the difference in range.
But you ignored the second half of my post as well it seems.
Would you be ok with it if Crusader Strike hit this hard. Paladins have the exact same amount of ways to close distance on an unsnared target as Hunters do, except Hunters have Conc Shot.
By your Logic, youd be okay with Crusader Strike consistently one tapping people. Thats idiotic.
Melee hunters are going to be nerfed. Get used to it.
I rest my case. You dont want to discuss in good faith. You want to be right and you want others to suffer so you can puff up your ego.
I cant describe the sweetness of watching people like you get your crutches snatched away from you. And ive gotten to watch it repeatedly these last few weeks.
I hope they overnerf you out of spite at this point. Itd still be better than most of you deserve.
So multiple offensive CDs and the few times his buff bar was visible, a TON of buffs and several consumes and im pretty sure i saw AB zerk in there too.
Totally the same as a random driveby raptor strike
You know with melee hunter Iâd be curious, if they offload damage from raptor strike too much where do they put it? They donât really have any other melee attacks.
Homie you didnt even hit the goalpost you assigned.
You just compared a random raptor strike to quite literally a BG buffed high end geared warrior with multiple CDs rolling (including one that gives him a flat +20% damage dealt) who STILL wasnt accomplishing what Raptor Strike is.
That you even considered this a valid comparison just proves how bucking fusted Melee Hunters are and proves you KNOW it. You killed your own argument.
does not exist in this reality. Your whataboutisms and hyperbole do not constitute an argument.
