um…isn’t Armor no longer really that important, they are just a left over part of the RPG that WoW used to be. There is no significant difference between armor types besides an arbitrary armor number pretty much armor gives some reduction to physical damage but there so many damage types that it not that important and armor effects how much hp you have which helps some but with how powerful each class is unless you have healing or defensives having plate or cloth seems like a very minor part the equation.
So yes i think we shouldnt be as tanky as Tank specs but we should be as tanky as the tankiest dps specs that we could be compared to like warlocks who use pets and cast spells we have pets and we cast bullets and arrows and currently isnt warlock tankier then some tank specs so there need be some nerfing on them buffing on us so we can meet in the middle below actual tank specs. But honestly im the type to be like well if Blizzard ok with every class to be tougher then they used too be then we need some those buffs because we have been left out.

My cloth priest is less squishy than my mail wearing hunter without healing herself. Makes no sense whatsoever. Then they nerf us on top of it. DPS is all that we have going for us. Now you take that away! We can tank, we can’t heal… Come on!

As i said armor just effects max hp and reduces physical damage some but only melee and hunters really do that type of damage. Your priest probably does more damage so you dont fight mobs for as long.
Big problem with hunter community is the false narrative that we are the glass cannon class and our weakness just need be covered by a good healer. But if that was ever Blizzards intentions and it isn’t then hunters wouldn’t be bottom to middle dps wise we be SS tier every expansion but we arnt we hardly ever that strong.
But player will go wah wah bliz we squishy give us more damage so we more likely kill everyone before they can kill us. Begging for some offense is defense mindset. But honestly our squishyness needs be fixed and some buffs slapped onto our damage on under performing talents and flat damage buffs.

I don’t know if it is fair to weigh hunter against ret pala who is a tank/heal/dps plate hybrid melee vs a long ranged agility pure dps spec.
It’s apple oranges really
One is arguably steadfest and durable, where the other should be evasive and nimble.
I would argue we need WAY more mobility.
Like excessively more.
We should have a low CD low range dash to quickly reposition. Give it a 3 second 20% Avoidance buff coupled so we can feel like we evaded damage by dodging.

No I don’t think they will fix Hunter anytime soon. Maybe next expac.
Maybe if we had actual evasion and avoidance and damage reduction and dodge mechanics that we could use more reactively with balanced CDs and it would make hunters more balanced. More mobility is only really useful if it also reduces damage to make it useful in mostly pvp because when bosses splatter the ground with danger circles there often nowhere to stand even if you have all mobility in the world so id like to see these effects put into our mobility attacks and defensives in some way i feel like we need more dashes and disengages that have a secondary protection.

They nerfed the healing pets to uselessness long ago, and the points to the exhilaration cool-down reduction on the tree aren’t worth taking. Now that a lot of mobs have random unavoidable ranged attacks that seem to just be a lazy attempt at making them more challenging, it would be nice to have some survivability buffs somewhere.

My favorite part is how I inherit threat first when our tank goes down even while being third behind our warlock and DK.
It’s about tied with using my defensives to live through mechanics and barely it making while both those same player chose to bath in aoe.

Don’t feel ad Evokers have the same problem as Mail wearers as well.
If you think you’re squishy, you’re getting hit too much.

But they have 5 different heals and like 4 defensives to press while we have 1 30% heal every 2.4min LOOL, and a 6 sec 20% wall, we have to double talent into both of these garbage spells also, turtle is basically old pally bubble, its mainly used to revive pet one time after it gets literally 1 shot by any class(also healers still can’t see hunter pet exclusively with default ui), its a total joke

Hunter should be using leather or cloth armour anyways not mail. Look at all the in game hunters. None wear mail armour.

Yall playing without a cunning pet? 45sec cd freedom and 25% speed from pet and enchants. Hunter is pretty mobile.
I cant get away from a feral. And 2 melee can train me. But thats the same with everyone. Bm can get 22.5 sec cd on freedom in pvp.
I wouldn’t mind a fd buff closer to craven bc mobility doesn’t solve survivability in every situation
