The end of hunters as a ranged class (how EVERY wep became a hunterweapon)

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

this is about PvE - that forgotten 90% of the game we dont tune for.

the epic bow from pv event kindof says everything, doesnt it?

Bloodrash bow: 1.8 speed bow, procs 50 strength for 15 sec at 5% chance.

u will have to rangedweave then, while u raptorstrike. how creative. thats such inovative gameplay, and im sure the 5% proc is worth 2-3 sec of no raptorstrikes. sounds really fun, doesnt it. ure one melee attack will be it for u.
mongoose bite is a joke, and unchanged.

expose weakness and a hugely nerfed version of steady shot is it for what ranged hunters (actually having to qualify hunter by saying ranged, cringes me) - but hey, they share the belt runeslot, so u have to choose.

strength gets u absolutely nothing for a hunter (i am talking ranged, yes) yet gear now has strength, so ure shait out of luck for raidloot, unless u can take the rogues gear. but wait, u will be running aspect of the viper then… so thats where ure dps went?

id be fine, if strength gave 2 RAP, and expose weakness was a boot rune, and we get a bow with 3+ speed. i would still play my class if it was semi viable - but judging by this disaster, its dead last on every meter, or ure litterally sitting behind a leg, hitting 1 single button, be that as BM or MM (cause the REAL melee wants TSA)

and then we come to raiddrops. now that we are melee (the weak one) we are the retripallys of old. that BIG epic that all the meleee wants drops, or that strength neck or trinket… and u roll mainspec for it, against the warrior doing 800 dps in subpar gear. how loved will u be?

yea, real hunters are done.
retail won this one, and ure now a subpar legbiter.

probably the only one able to avtually sum up the class sofar, by what i see. the rest are in stages of denial or disbelief. i want to banish that, and tell it as it is. if u have a hard time not reading posts ure not interested in, seek help.

I didn’t read your post actually, but I didn’t have to. You had the choice of adding your opinion/voice to the other already existing threads about hunters in p2 or even the ones about the datamined runes in general (they’re mainly the hunter runes anyway).

But nope, you chose to make yet another thread about the p2 hunter runes because you’re:
“probably the only one able to avtually sum up the class sofar”

I mean ok lol. :snowflake: :snowflake: :snowflake:

I mean, Lurky, to be fair here I am a Hunter doomer as well but we’ve only got like a week until the phase hits and we don’t know for certain all of the changes that are going to happen. Hypothesizing and speculating for fun is all good and dandy and you can mix it in with a bit of spice but we don’t know for certain what will happen.

Wait until launch and see what the actual changes are before crying that the end is nigh.

ah, another troll.

did u see the bow…? thats yr option. 1,8 speed, and strengthproc. on a positive note, atleast we wount get 6 nerfs. just that one to traplauncher.

Nope, you’re just a self-important doomsayer that insists to make his own threads even though there’s already 5 other ones about the same topic, and you can’t handle the fact that I called you out on that.

13

People spend their own resources the way they want to. I get it if it’s not your thing but let others talk about it if they want.

This bow is literaly a reason to quit the game, because it feels like blizzard is trolling us. Anyway i think hunter will be more fun than ever in pvp and worst than ever in pve.

which bow?

[edit]

Found it.
It’s from the pvp event.
Ok well I don’t plan to do a whole lot of pvp anyway so I don’t really care.
Stupid bow but oh well.

Gnomald Regan has 2 ranged weapons, one which gives +8 agility and one which gives +26 ranged attack power.
I’ll be going for those.

Bloodrash bow. 1.8 speed. procs 50 strength at 5% chance. that, or a trinket with 1% crit to yr pet, are your 2 epic PVP rewards. (seems like thats the source of good weapons in p2)

1,8 speed…

50 strength…

18

Yes whats the problem? Its clearly designed to be for melee hunters.

You can get an epic gun for range in gnomer.

I dont see the issue here

Only when you are a meta sweatboy.
I’m 100% sure MM or BM will be a viable spec too.
On the other hand that bow is taught to become AGI instead of STR.
Nothing as of yet is written in stone so don’t worry about it to much wait and see what will happen in P2. Not everything you have seen now will come out in P2 And things are due to change.

But why was the bow strength to begin with?

Maybe it’s just the stat by default and they still need to manually change it.
Our trinket however is amazing and unique compared to other classes.
