reducing rs damage by 30% isnt a 30% nerf?
Can you fix AB tabard for level 40. No other reason to get exalted.

Correct, reducing the damage of one ability by 30% is not a flat 30% damage nerf.
Unless raptor strike is 100% of your damage, like, your autos hit for zeros and you don’t use any other abilities?

alright then smarty pants, it a 30% damage nerf to our only damaging ability.
wound poison ineffective, without his heal still tanky due to armor, if i use expose armor I lose combo points for other abilities, you forget he can stun as well, and gouge gets a lot of times parried. as I cannot use kidney anymore to stun because of CD, cant use vanish to cheapshot do tie feiry fire (reduces my armor and prevents stealth), he just mangles me to death. if i use sprint, he charges on me. and yeah if you caught in fight where you blind is on cooldown. you cant use it, tha…
because people say, rogue is GOD and needs to be nerfed, so I believe and try it?
I used to play priest, mage, etc. there is always a way. rogues have energy tick rate, use it to your adventage. Unless you are a shaman you cant outplay rogue. If you are mage, play frost mage. If you are priest, dont play holy priest. Ez.
what are bows for? decoration? 
most melee hunters rorate about 300 dps in gnomer, 30% reduction is left with 210 dps which is more than some classes can do.
The last Gnomer run I did a hunter’s raptor strike dealt 15% of his total damage (entire run, not just boss fights). He did 100k damage with it.
Following these nerfs, it would be 70k damage.
He did 650k damage overall, with these nerfs he would have lost 30k damage, which is around 5%.
I can go through individual boss fights instead but overall? This nerf isn’t going to butcher hunters too much.
(This hunter wasn’t bad, he was mid-tier as most players are.)
(He was also range weaving for fights like Thermaplug and Electricutioner)

Some interesting druid changes. Look forward to seeing how they impact boomy spec.
raptor strike is around 50% of hunter dmg, idk what logs are you reading or what your hunter was doing.
Blizzard, classic dev’s.
You’re so dense, not even a dense stone will stand EVEN close to you guys.
You’ve ZERO idea of:
- What changes to classes should be made in order to rebalance them
- You listen and make changes based on the worst players in the community
- You don’t make changes I.e when “Nerfing” classes, you ruin them.
I think these changes are stupid.
Why? Cause as I said, they nerf , SORRY, non-consensually obliterate hunters for either PvP or they look at them self playing the class itself. Cause they have to be bad as hell at the actuall game.
I dont think the nerf is uncalled for, i think its a good change.
But why its bad NoobPlayer ask? Cause: - The 30% dmg bonus on a ability that does a ton of damage is El Stupido
- Whos the donkie that added 30% to a button that legit oneshots people already?
- Who was not smart enuff to put the damage on either Carve or Flanking Strike instead.
Melee hunter is HONESTLY 1 ability; RAPTOR STRIKE.
But dont be dogs, readjust the class correct.

Same thing applies to you then no? You can still used your range/throwing weapon while running out to range 
Lets keep it real. No, a melee hunter can’t just pick up their bow and start shooting from range and doing any damage. Neither can you run and shoot at the same time.
Okay so what is the issue of you doing mechanics then? You’re the one making the mechanics argument.
Then you should be more knowledgable and have better insult 
I have always been in favour of giving warriors more tools to deal with outdoor levelling content. In my opinion victory rush should be way stronger than it is to improve the levelling experience.
However, if you can’t see that warior, by FAR the strongest damage class in original classic (and in p1 SoD btw), that also have the best scaling in the game and by far the best resource in the game and are ALREADY competing with melee hunters in reset 3 on bosses with overbuffed armor values, are gonna outscale and be the best melee spec once again - then you’re quite frankly delusional and there’s no reason in discussing with you.

well that is just complete bs, ive a got a log with 1,010,000 dmg and 50% of it is rs, hes either not using rs enough or hes trying to get fs up to much which is also wrong, this log has rs at 511k dmg(50.6%), - 30% from this due to the nerf (153,300) takes the total damage down to 856,700, overall its roughly a 15-16% nerf to overall damage output.
so this nerf has reduce our ONLY damaging ability by 30% and reduce our overall damage output by 15-16% - either way, we be down to 6-5 maybe 4th dps come the release of this change, cant even respec to mm or bm as the dps is even worse. time to go shaman it seems, seem to be getting all the tlc.
edit - also to make your data even worse, where the hell is this so called hunter getting the other 550k damage from? my log shows my melee white hits at 212k 21%, pet floating around 22/23% of my damage, some bs post, even weaving range as suv/bm spec wouldnt get you that, im 0/0/31, he must be bm fist and just speced into the 2/2 rs crit talent and the pet is doing majority of his dmg, which isnt a melee hunter and my log was without lonewolf I was using lion.

As a hunter player it feels like I just wasted alot of time in leveling and preparing.
I choose hunter because I wanted to play a range dps class and by tradition it should be clear that hunters are range dps. Now I am forced to play meele hunter because nobody will take a MM/SV hunter to raid because they suck.
How can THE ONLY CLASS that has no heal/tank spec be messed up that hard. I get it give hunters range and meele dps spec, fine. But why turn the class so upside down that we are bottom bracket if we DO NOT WANT TO PLAY A FREAKIN MEELE?!?!?!?!?!
