Greetings Travelers,
So i have been having issues with fighting against Hunters.
The issue lies more so with the Ability Arcane shot than with the hunters itself.
In Bg’s, arena’s and World Pvp, i have been getting oneshot by arcane shot in more than one occasions.
The Ability is hitting for over 200k damage.
Good day travelers, and safe travels
Got any more info? with all arcane shot buffs in talents I hit about 25k max.
What type of enviroment are you experiencing this in?
happend to me also, got deleted from full health at lvl 70 with 365ilvl by lvl66 hunter with arcane shot or maybe it was aimed shot, from 100% hp to 0, i instantly turned off warmode because pvp is extremly unbalanced right now. few examples, 70lv arcane mage started pvp me but with just frostbolts, nothing crazy, my lavaburst tickled him doing not even 5% of his hp, he was dancing and spamming /lol emote then he casted 2x arcane blast annihilating me in 3 sec, cool. guardian druids immortal, rogues deleting people in stunlock, zero counter play, should i mention dh? pvp is super unfun to play and you must be masochist to actually like pvp in wow or you play such classes above.
Hunter has a no skill burst one shot atm. Have everything on CD and they win. The hunter could be the worst player in the world skill wise and you could solo easy but if he gets you with the burst he wins. This is not good class design at all and player skill is not required. This allow hunters to one shot other classes very easly from stealth etc and need zero skills to do it.
Its like playing against a class with a big I win button, who lose when it doesn’t work. One hunter can troll you for hours by trying to burst you every time you fight with mobs and have no CD’s but cannot win in a fair 1vs1. They burst run, burst run for hours on one quest. One shotting players or running away so as not to enter real pvp with anyone.
Its more disruptive game play than real pvp.
That’s quite fun, I have bis pvp gear right now on my hunter and I never crited more than 60k or so arcane shot, so I smell BS.
Instead of focus on a spec that can easily shutdown, I would suggest focusing on how broken healing is right now where multiple melee + warlocks specs have a ton of healing + shields making it an absurd task or virtually impossible when paired with a healer.
So fun ending bgs etc where DH / DK / guarding druid / War / Warlocks finish the game with more healing than dmg.
Arcane shot is the least dmg ability in all hunters toolkit. It have no any single ability that does 200k dmg by single hit even on low geared target. It can do more than 200k dmg with single use of rapid fire but there will he 14 hits for lesser dmg, not a single one. Seems youre confused or you were in zone of arcane pvp quest. Its not hunters issue. I got 1.4 mln hit with azure spike of buffed evoker in that zone while he had 1.5mln hp.
my situation happend in ohn’ahran, but like i said, it was propably aimed shot, multiple alliance players around and nobody bothered me but one hunter just used that aimed shot and boom, im dead, from 100 to 0. idk maybe he was in full epic pvp gear already but should any class delete someone in literally one shot? i could say okay if i were lvl ~65 under 300ilvl but i wasnt
Aimed shot crits for 100k in 411 gear with full mastery and crit atm with all bursts on. Theres no way for it to hit for 200k without abuse. Even in 424 it will never hit for 200k. Strongest hitting ability is rapid fire but it doesnt do all dmg with one strong shot. It deals even more dmg than 200k but im summary by 14 times. Not one big hit.
I think Arcane shot is alright, the problem is Rapid Fire that can be stopped only by Stun or other CC, rather than interrupt which in the way is fine, but Kill Shot for 200k+ crit is an absurd in my opinion.
I met lot of mm Hunters in arena. They have super strong opener. Luckily i can counter it by evasion. After their opener fails they can’t do sht vs anyone.
I played duo with mm Hunter And i SAP one target and both of us open on same target same time. The guy dissapeared in few seconds 
. And whispers me “i Hope your moma dies for your disgusting stunlock and Reprimand slams” but actualy he got 68% of Damage by Hunters opener 
Arcane shot doesnt hit for so much damage. Pic or didint happened 
The thing that can delete people (at lower bgs) is double tapped rapid fire. At lvl 50-59 bracket I was deleting people from 100% to zero in 2s rapid fire. Later people get much more hp so its not possible anymore but it can still hurt pretty badly.
Learn to notice when they double tap and pop your defensives or stun them mid rapid fire. They raise their hand and starts to emit some kind of aura when double tap is ready. Unless they start with camouflage, then… well, you’ll probably eat it.
Im deleting <250k chars with one rapid fire on bgs. Very fun😅 But full honor - no. Only if I got proc of killshot and it crits. Crit 150k with proc. Juicy. Then I can dt-rf-ks and even full geared is dead.
