Hunters need entire Rune Rework, not just buffs

This is literally the stupidest reply ever. Maybe OP isnt playing other classes? Everyone is allowed to talk and suggest their class, period. This is why the forums exists!

He rolled warrior and felt entitled to be the top dog. And now he is mad seeing that this is not the case. This is pretty much warriors in a nutshell

Maybe if ranged hunters specs dps wasn’t so bad in raids, fewer hunters would feel compelled to play melee spec even if they actually prefer to play ranged. Maybe that could mean more raid spots for melee only classes. I guess we might never find out. At least not this phase.

In general I agree. Mostly with part that hunter runes REALLY new rework by someone who PLAY HUNTER!

Lone Wolf -this is good rune and should ramain in game. I like to play MM hunter without a pet since classic pets provied 0 utility and just flat dmg… you dont need it as a MM or SV hunter at all

Yeah top 3 broken classes since phase 1 needs A rework. Keep pushing that, its like kitties asking for Vanish and cloak soon

Well to be fair other classes have underpeefoming specs and what they do? Play other spec till they fix it or reroll. Affliction is really bad. So locks play destruction. Elemental is not that good so they play enhancement.

Hunters are a difficult class to balance since they are so good in every aspect of the game. As othera said they have the best buff in the game, they are the best farmers by miles, they are really good at pvp and have one good spec at raid. Seems like a complete class. Yes ranged need help but man…you play a very good class. Maybe the best

BTW trap launcher alone makes them the most valued class for dungeons and extremely powerful at pvp

And yet the runes are still crap for the most part.

Doesn’t matter how much anyone goes “oh but you’re good at X!” cause that doesn’t excuse bad game design, flawed RPG structure and wonky balancing. Maybe other people shouldn’t play other specs or reroll, instead; maybe they should be making threads demanding that the devs do their jobs and fix the game.

Maybe that would eventually fix those specs/classes.

So you pretty much admit that they are broken aka they need rework :+1:

broken as in the worst pvp class in the game right now + the worst ranged dmg of all time XD lock with dots and wand outdpses us

Just say if you are mad that your class isnt top dps like in last phase. This is a thread about hunter runes needing rework. Instead here you are crying “waah waah my class isnt top”. If I wanted something for us kitties I wouldnt go to hunter topic to cry about it.

Hunters were top dps first 2-3 weeks phase 1, rogues were never nr 1! Warriors were , hunters were top dps phase 2 for 2-3 weeks aswell!

So how about no? Atleast they got A pve scecc that does something

What flabbergasts me is why other mains don’t create threads to complain about their classes underperforming or having bad rune design/balance/allocation.

Also on that note here’s a lukewarm take from me: Druids should have gotten 6 runes per slot in P1 and even in P2 due to how many specs their class has.

I have a kitty alt for crafting purposes and while I enjoy the smooth burst leveling it’s not particularly “experimental” as SoD was sold to us as being. Wish they had more runes to play around with.

You just trying to gaslight or you just arent a good player. Took me 5 sec to google (Phase 1 dps rankings) only to find data that shows rogues number 1. Google phase 1 12th december dps rankings to see yourself.

Lone wolf ? You mean the rune that take away 10% stats on you entire raid ?

"You are doing tank DPS but you have trap launcher for dungeons, why do you complain ? "

Extremely good at pvp ? Not really unless you are top % skill. I manage to have some highlights but it is far from overpowered if you compare it to most classes.

Meanwhile any shadow priest around can kill an entire group just by putting dots on everyone.

Just a comparison. Hunter dot hit around 35 each 3 sec. Priest dot minimum 200 every 3 sec. You see the difference ?

For me the main problem is the Lion. It is too powerfull. 10% for the mates is good, but add another 10% to the hunt made it irreplaceable. You can’t use anything else even if there is another hunt in the raid.
And it is not a problem for me if i’m not the first DPS in a raid. It would become one if i am the last one though. A raid is a group achievment where all members have a part to play.
So i would accept to do less damage if i am more usefull with CC or offtanking for example.
And some changes are needfull on some runes I’m agree with the OP on that.

Well to be fair, if there is another Hunter in the raid that other Hunter might be bringing it.

Yeah , but who being 2 hunters in a 10 man comp with 6 or max 7 DPS ?

Double stackers of FOTM melee hunters maybe.

Oh a time traveler from the past.

Melee hunter is no longer OP , mages are doing way beter
