The REAL reason hunters are OP

Hunters sends pet.
You stealth.
Pet chases you in stealth and hits you out of stealth, no hunters mark.

Fix that yeeeeeezus.

Pets got that Load Distance perception.

Hunters are OP because they basically get all of their kit at lvl20. Mix that with the fact that they have the lowest skill ceiling in the entire game.

Class balance will get better in later phases though, hunters have always been notorious for being the scourge of low level battlegrounds.

This big joke… No class in this game requires great mastery and the hunter is certainly not the worst.
I have rarely read so much stupidity and exaggeration about the hunter since the beginning of SoD on this forum, topics, posts, you outdo yourself every time.
But keep complaining about the hunter, it only proves your lack of skill in this game.

It’s not a joke, it’s just how it is. You’re right in saying that no class is complicated, but hunter has the lowest skill ceiling. It requires the least amount of skill and game knowledge with which to be effective.

A mediocre player on a hunter is much closer to the max skill level than a medicore mage is to the max skill level of a mage, etc etc. There’s no other class in this game that can kill somebody so easily whilst backpeddling.

Hunter is, and always will be the tutorial class. 9/10 players will take you that huner is the easiest class, the other players play hunter and will probably say “uhhh mabe worrior”.

I didn’t complain, I explained why hunters feel OP and why the class is so popular. But that’s okay, I don’t expect much in terms of critical thinking on this board.

No, it’s totally false and it proves your complete ignorance of this class.

The mage just has many, many more tools than some classes, including the hunter. It doesn’t make him harder to master, it only gives him a better chance of winning.

Starsurge druid requires a crazy skill? Warlock too?

So stop with these prejudices against the hunter, this class just has it easier than some for leveling, nothing else.

Yes because in leveling the hunter has great ease thanks to his pet, that’s all. The rest is just silly things from mourners who have just been killed by a hunter and instantly rush to the forum to make a topic “nerf hunter/pet whatevers”

I was speaking in general, for everyone who complains here. While often they play classes that are much stronger in pvp than the hunter will ever be.

I’m sorry, hunter main says what?

How can you say this with a straight face?

Starsurge and an uninteruptable drain life are annoying sure, but those are runes and aren’t ‘core’ elements of the class.

Again, hunters can literally backpeddle and kill you. If a mage backpeddles while somebody is on them, they die. If a warlock backpeddles while somebody is on them, they die. Same with every other class, except hunter. If a hunter backpeddles while somebody is on them, the person on them dies.

Real reason is because blizzard doesnt care about game

You do realise that Beast Mastery is also a rune don’t you? (yes, BM hunters have always existed but take away the enhanced BM rune then hunters would well and truly be useless in SoD)

Beast Mastery

Requires Hunter

Your pet’s damage and health are increased by 30%, and its Focus regeneration by 80%. In addition, your pet’s Growl now also Taunts the target to attack it for 3 sec.

BM Rune should get slashed by 50%.

The benefit it provides is way over the top on top of the Pet Scaling pets got as a freebie.

You’re possibly right but almost every hunter has been forced into BM spec and rune because there literally is nothing else after they destroyed explosive shot, chimera etc

And they should.

They need to bring a nerfbat to the pet and pet rune and compensate Hunter runes instead.

I respectfully disagree, Hunters have already been hit with various nerfs and rune gutting, it would just piss off a huge amount of players again, also it’s probably about a month from now before P2 starts. I can’t really see Blizzard investing time and resources at this stage trying to balance them for the sake of a few weeks.

Now, If Hunters are still causing the same reported ‘issues’ in PvP at level 40 then I’m all for Blizzard to balance things out or nerf the pets but I have a gut feeling that P1 is going to be the only time in SoD that they shine.

Pets will keep hit hard regardless any further nerfs and this is going to last till level 60. After that BM will slowly fade away

I mean if we are talking skill caps.

Xaryu plays mage and Legit says he will 1v1 any hunter with ease… Apart from that Dahn guy whose a beast.

So learn to play I guess?

Hunter pet does 70% dam, so cc Pet and Win no?

Hunters were strong and had pets that could solo players (at this level) without the rune, so that argument is invalid.

Hunter was the first class I ever played, around 16 years ago now. Back then I was a keyboard turner, I didn’t keybind a single ability, I moved with the arrow keys (yes, arrow keys. Not WASD) and I clicked all of my abilities.

I still had absolutely ZERO problems fighting people. I would’ve been a wasted group spot on literally any other class. I could still 1v1 half of the people that I fought, at such a stupidly low skill level.

CC pet with what? And what do people with CC do next phase when hunters get bestial wrath?

I was hoping that Blizzard were going to enhance the Lone-Wolf play style of hunters. Would have certainly made the class more interesting instead of constantly running down the ‘Hunter is useless, the pet is the main strength’ road.

Pet class gonna pet.

Warlock is a pet class yet my imp doesnt deal 300 damage/instant cast

Wdym? Hunter at this lvl has nothing from His kit. I need feign death scatter Shot for even have a stupid Chance to reset a Fight and survive
