The stats I showed were taken over the last EIGHT weeks, 12th Dec to 6th Feb, not one random week in January you silly billy.
As my pop used to say, ‘never argue with someone who is always right’, now I know what he meant

I agree.
I think Melee Hunters need more buttons to press but sadly we got no chest runes and both belt and boot runes are passive. 
I wish Lone Wolf was just removed and replaced with Monkey Rumble which makes your disengage launch you backwards and arcane shot become arcane hook which effective works as a harpoon.

Yes, so as I said, you take into account stats when the players had no equipment, did not yet have the strats and pve guide because WoW players are incapable of figuring things out on their own and so you take into counts stats that have no values. Compared to the stats at the end of P1 where everyone had the full potential of their class.
Yes, you don’t understand anything.
So, the 8 weeks up to 6th Feb 2024 are not at the end of P1, which ended on 8th Feb 2024 
OK, I give up.
Anyway, that’s all forgotten history and Hunters are *1 by a mile in P2 and need a major pruning.

All Hunters, or just Melee?

Oh the only reason why i play SoD is Meta mostly. As i loved Dark Apotheosis back in MoP days. And sod meta is not that great (imo) atm without the immolation aura. If they nerf it more while it’s the worst tank with bears because no good reliant aoe, i will be gone. Plenty of cool games out there for time better spent.
P1 lasted around 9 weeks… So yes, your brain is really slow, I repeat to you that the first weeks have no value because of the lack of knowledge of the classes and the absence of itemization.
Only the last 2-3 weeks have any values and the last one being a standard value.

Relevant for every class i think. One of the main reasons why people leaving the game - drastically class changes not to the better side. There’s shouldn’t be room for so dramatic nerfs like -60% to damage. It’s tempting to think about devs incompetence (how ability, which doing 60% damage more, than intended, can even exist? are you testing things there?). This is not “class ballance”, but some ridicoulous juggling with mechanics.

But you don’t understand, only that one day when hunters weren’t top 3 dps counts! Because… w-well that’s just how it is, ok?

Don’t make yourself any more stupid than you already are.
Should the hunter apologize for being top 3 in the heart of P1 and falling 4-5 at the end of P1? Is it too much for the mourners who nervously poop if the hunter dares to go beyond third place on the podium? Poor you, imagine, the hunter daring to challenge the domination of certain classes. What an outrage!
Anyway, SoD is a failure of balancing and game design, only nostalgia for vanilla WoW keeps players coming.
Hunters dropped out of the top 3 for a couple of days at the end of p1. Likely due to less people playing it as all the FOTM rerollers began abandoning class because of the relentless doomposting from hunters, claiming it was going to be bottom dps in p2, lmao, lol btw.
I’m fine with hunters doing well, but they were obscenely overpowered at the start of p1, just as they are right now in p2. A rather substantial nerf is required in order to bring them more in line with how other classes are performing.
OMG you really wind me up with your twaddle.
These are normalised stats, if you don’t understand statistical analysis then you should just keep quiet.

Hunters are OP! Nerf hunters!! I got 1shot by da huntard in mah precious open world PvP! You nerfed Starsurge because it did 1shot naked people, so why don’t you nerf hunters! I want mah balance!!!11 They are top everywhere and their pet bites for over 9000 dmg! I saw it in some video I swear!!!1 All the bots are also hunters so just delete this RMT class! No more swiping your card, whales! No more hunters in SoD! Long live classic spirit zugzug!
I didn’t drop out from a Hunter because of any DPS fears.
I dropped out because the runes allocation and design is crap.

So I was watching some hunter POV Gnomer streams and I just can’t believe how busted the dual wield spec is, like holy smokes.
Ye it got nerfed yet the only real source of that dps was an epic 2h and wildstrikes. Without wf alone it’s -50% dmg
The way hunter melee is made “viable” is lazy and bound to be broken, just mash a few buttons without any setup….
I dont see anything wrong about some class being top performer. It will always be someone on top and it does not matter which class will be.
The real problem of SOD is the devs… they seem to either make something broken or hyper inferior to the rest when trying to tune it down, someone always will be 1st,2nd,3rd and so on… the GAP is insane.
Why cant all classes perform decent so everyone can be desired and every composition be within similar output.
SOD atm = classed are either OP or straight bad.
Raids = shifting meta … you are either the best or you suck with exception of 1-2 classes
It does not matter who is 1st and top , what matters is the GAP between the first 1-2-3 classes and the ones bellow 4-5 spot.

its classic - thats what it always was at 40 - working as intended.
also, i said exactly what would happen, and i was 10% rite. melee op, ranged a complee bust.
because no PTR - and math is hard?
they dont understand theorycrafting at blizzard. i know it sounds absurd, but it is true
Except quick strike deals less than 100 damage.
Just nerf the 30% dmg buff on raptor strike the dualwield speciacialisation gives.
Cant be that hard
