Where is the buff for ranged hunters?!

Another week of suffering. Where the hell is the much needed buff for ranged hunters?!
Make the freaking abilities scale with AP! Reform the BM rune: Every crit the pet does buffs a ability or maybe even autoshot by x% for y seconds or whatever.

DO SOMETHING!

Agreed.

Fingers crossed:)

I just cannot wrap my mind around the fact that 2024 WoW developers not only allowed tanks to outDPS damage dealers, but also did this to the only purely-DPS class in the game

Being the worst at the only thing you can do, amazing game design

Exactly this! We need a buff by 30 percent or 20 percent points to be competitive with the hybrid- classes elemental shaman, dps-lock or fire mage.

Go buff us now! Statistics doen’t lie!

this something needs to change asap

We have been repeating it at each nerf.

None of it is a surprise. No significant runes beside melee runes in P2 while the power creep went through the roof for every other class.

There are some very good ideas emerging from the community , and even the craziest ones would not make hunters OP because the starting point is so low …

Hunters NEED CRIT there is an ancient saying about hunters “If you don’t crit you are s**t”. How can you play a game with less than 12% crit? It is also kinda depressing, i like big numbers poping in my screen.

this … 100% this

Orrrrr literally everything rune wise needs a MASSIVE nerf? We are level 40 and top DPS for every boss bar 1 is over 1k ROFL. Mm balance for level 40 is probably actually in that. “A bit of a buff, A bit more interesting gaming” Level of buff.

They have just made everything else WAY to powerful. This is why there is 10000 threads on. “This is OP nerf it. This class is too strong. I can’t do anything in PvP. Wah wah mutilate.”

Make mm the top DPS and roll everything back to that level.

Come 60 and bwl phase locks mages and warriors are gonna be doing like 8k DPS lol

my take on hunters being pushed as melee is they dont want to buff ranged hunters soo that bots suffer, which a majority are hunters anyways

Imagine that’s the reason

Hot take, remove taunt from hunter pets. or make it an oh sh*t ability with like a 2min cd. And watch the hunter bot problem disapear overnight, bots are too stupid to back peddle or kite mobs

Not needed. With BM the pet died more damage than your anyways so does more threat lol.
Bots are everywhere they wouldn’t do that cos of bots. There is a million pickpocket/chest farming rogues as well

Overall if hunters get balanced out soo they alot more like other ranged classes aka they get aggro from a mob and have to facetank in the worst case scenario unless you’re actually playing the game kiting etc.

Bots would die, good luck writing a bot aware of its surroundings and mobs moving about and avoiding them to not draw more aggro in and die.

Other benefit would be you’re a bot, you do your bot killing of standing in place and shooting. You facetank cause youre a bot. You need sit down after a mob and regen, that downtime kills the bot efficiency hard. You go from chain pulling and grinding to just being a really really bad player

Unless youre a player and can actually move and think and avoid taking dmg instead of mindlessly farming by sending your pet to tank

chests respawn what every 30min to an hour. You pickpocket once you cant do it again on the same mob.

Imho not worth the hastle
Then youre left with raw gold farming dungeon bot mages. Idk force you to do some sort of captcha after you’ve done enough lockouts. If you fail it you’re locked out for like an hour or two

And then you’ve got the herb/mining/fishing bots, just keep it for players to flag them? Theyre kinda obvious

Hunters are the most Nerfed Class in SOD so far i have the feeling that the devs hate us and there was no point of the mele hunter as that is no hunter anymore

yo they heard us they buffed a rune that is still usless! SOD HYPE!

They will do paladins and shamans bots like they are already doing. I see quite a lot of them. Maybe 20 % less efficient than hunter but still , it works. I see plenty of them. They do druids too.

If it is the reason it is just madness.

Plus the reason I like hunter is that I like to play all night listening to musing killing mobs slowly and quietly while my pet is tanking. That’s a core aspect of the hunter. Would be a very bad idea to nerf pet aggro just for bots. It just punishes normal players instead on punishing bots
