Re: Please Don't Leave Melee Hunter Out Of CC2

Asking for upgrading melee hunter is like asking to make melee warlock available. Why do you want to paly a very gimped warrior while there is already a warrior and an ench sham/retri pal? Why? Disagree. How many melee skills does warlock have? How many does hunter have? Also, none of the melee giv...

Re: Please Don't Leave Melee Hunter Out Of CC2

What is stopping a hunter, right now, from being a melee hunter? I hear you, viability, lore, rexxar, aragon. Why cant hunter fit the fantasy and viability right now? The issue currently is scaling. At low levels of gear we do decently, but as our gear grows we fall off as we have a lot of down tim...

Re: Melee Hunter, and how to make it viable.

I think that smaller changes can help them. Not making them meta but making melee hunters less miserable. 1. Buff raptor strike 2. Shorten its CD via talent and make raptor strike buff pet's damage 3. Change wyvern sting into something which either gives DPS or enables in-combat trap usage. 4. Give...

Re: Melee Hunter, and how to make it viable.

Survival is not a "melee tree", it's a support three for the other two. Hunter is a ranged class by design. If it's only ever meant to be a dip tree to get a few desired talents, I feel like that's bad design. It should have a dedicated identity, and that goes for all trees. I think Survi...

Re: Melee Hunter, and how to make it viable.

I think a way of advancing the devs' current attempts to give hunter a melee focused playstyle should continue on the path of Aspect of the Wolf by adding mechanics that require you to be in melee and prevent you from carrying benefits over to ranged or vice versa. I'm not opposed to keeping Aspect...
