Why are the lone wolf and master marksman runes both on the armor slot? You would never pick lone wolf as it is now at least, over master marksman, if you were to go full marksman build and sacrifice the pet, it makes no sense. Lion buff giving 20% stats is already massive and will probably be the best rune for all specs the entire game, but lone wolf should be viable for a marksman build as well as a melee hunter (which is none-existant)
Thoughts?
I think a couple more nerfs to hunters, and removal of a chest rune slot completely for hunters will probably resolve this issue
You get them at different levels?
You should only try to get Lion at or near lvl 25 and Lone Wolf is behind the massive Ratchet grind so it is also lvl 25.
MM you do get earlier but that’s no real excuse for this. Runes shouldn’t become obsolete because other runes become available. There’s no build variety when everything funnels you down the same build across the specs.
Hunter runes are all over the place.
It should have been Lone Wolf & Beast Mastery Rune on Same slot.
Aspect of the Lion is too broken, that you will never take anything other than this, originally i thought if one hunter runs it and u get a blessing of Kings from a pally, u are still at +20 stats but its not, the Aura & the Kings buff share the same 10%, so you will not wana take anything but Aspect of Lion on chest, ever, as its +10% stats.
I believe (i have literally used it once) Cobra Strikes is on Chest as well? this is like 1000% never being taken over a +20% stat increase or a +5% crit chance and 25% reduction to mana costs.
whoever made these runes, are legit not hunter players.
Yep, I’ve said this repeatedly that I do not believe anyone on the SoD team is a proper Hunter player because if they were these runes would not be this bad in either their design, their synergy, their spec viability or their placement on the slots.
And considering their latest tweak it would appear as if all pleas to course correct the runes are falling on deaf ears. Tons of suggestions have been made and all we got was another nerf and laughable “buffs” to Chimera Shot (which is still lacking 25% of what it should be at minimum) and Explosive Shot that got a whooping +4 damage.
