Warriors and mages, warlocks with gear are out performing melee hunter atm , yet you remove the 30% increased dmg while DW raptor strike , not even a reduction , just flat out remove , and also doing nothing to compensate for the ranged aspect , as that is absolutely dogwater atm , the only dps class in the game , that can’t perform its role in any of its talent trees, welldone blizzard , absolute incompetence

I really don’t like the concept of a Melee Hunter, I hate it infact, however I feel this nerf was a bit much and the fact they haven’t buffed Ranged Hunter which is performing bottom of the barrell just screams they have no clue what they’re doing sadly.
For me, they take one step forward and two steps back with SoD.

Do you live in some alternate universe? Melee hunters deleting NPCs and players as well.
Agree with the mages tho. Warlock in metamorph(armor, passive not interruptable life drain, spammable searing pain) and demo talents with almost 50% dmg overall reduction, is cancer in PvP.

But don’t you know?
Hunters are “OvErPoWeReD” in pvp and people are QQing.
This will always be Blizz’ response to it.
Other classes doing the same?
Blizz sleeps soundly.
Just remember, blizzard devs won’t rest until warrior is top dps

No, they’re not.
Cry more Greeny.
And they’re going to achieve this by nerfing warriors 3 times since P1, fixing a bug that gave them too much damage and then not buffing them when they’re absolute dog-tier in everything?
Mages are Blizzard’s golden child, not warriors.

Sorry, not defending Blizzard, cuz clearly they did not implement some much needed class changes, but:
Melee Hunters have imo NO reason to complain. They were op and in the top 2-3 at a point in the game where mobs have 2x their normal armor. Where every other melee is MUCH further back.
What does this mean ? When Gnomer ends, and we are all back to normal, Melee Hunters will still melt.
And for everyone complaining that casters should be nerfed. Again, we “The melee” are hitting into 2x normal armor, with poison and bleed resistances. I guarantee you, if they dropped the armor to normal, and removed the resistances ? We would shoot on top over night, again leaving the casters behind.
X needs a nerf and so does Y, but please, at least understand WHY Melee are behind in Gnomer…
(Iv said it before, il say it again)

Melee hunter nerf is deserved
Not buffing ranged is lame

no objections here tho xD
Warriors are bottom tier in leveling
Bottom tier in farming
Bottom tier in solo pvp
Bottom tier in solo bgs
Bottom mid tier in grp pvp (atm)
Mid tier in raids
Hunters excel in many of those things even with the nerfs.

Warlock next
i love sundering 5 times a meta lock and keeping mortal strike just so he can outheal my dmg and still mitigate like 50% of it xD

so warlock is next to be nerfed
it is good to be dedicated to your class, suffering being trash, but atleast, it is nothing to nerf already
WARRIORS UNITE!

I’m here hoping they’ll finally buff MM.
This is a 15%-ish nerf to melee hunters (or quite a bit more for the Lone Wolf version) but if I’m gonna have to play this trash 2-button spam spec I’m hoping 2H will be the next go-to, which will then also unlock Trap Launcher to give us some well needed utility. Not looking forward to searching for a good 2H but at least it makes the spec less insufferable to play.
