Wow I'm impressed how a suggestion, be it unpopulair - can be ridiculed and brought down to the level of toddlers. If you do not agree I don't mind you expressing that fact but it would be nice to actually hear some factual arguments as to why that is. Is it to much to ask?

I see plenty of factual arguments in this thread, I just think you are too deluded to notice.

It is mentioned several places on the forums that the class mechanics are 1.12 on this server. If you want MoP mechanics you should go play on a MoP server.

enemy players and even NPCs exploit this its breaking the game when you cannot use your ranged weap as a hunter as its your primary weapon totally broke pls fix this its so annoying and not fair even blizzard fixed that


SO therein lies the challenge of being not just vaguely aware and firing on targets your pet taunts. PvP brings out the weaknesses of any player - and hunters by far are no exception - arguably a standard.

The good news is that there are ways to build your hunter in which you can be more effective as a melee person working to get to range..imp wing clip, macro-managing your passive pet/feight death/frozen trap combo - and so forth.

Another thought - and while this might take from the fire and forget mode that hunters are privileged to live by, but you could macro a freezing trap/flare before pulling any mobs - and just keep it up while you work.

The hunter class is arguably the most popular - up there with rogues and warriors - because of the ease of leveling in a time when 60 meant something. But, in a pvp setting - the real hunters are separated from the ineffectual like chaff from wheat.

And let's not even discuss the common factor of hunter traps being resisted...tough game - tough era of WoW. But you CAN master it and rise above the constant wave of players that thought they had the easiest way to 60.

The min range is surely the main reason that hunter isn't my preference when it comes to ranged dps but removing the main downside of a class just isn't the way to go. All classes have their ups and downs. If you find the minrange really cumbersome I strongly recommend you roll a mage instead.

The devs arent going to meddle with class mechanics it isnt going to happen. If they are I have a list of ideas. And the top entry is: Give paladins a freaking taunt! :P (They could put it in some random judgment)

It's a core mechanic of how hunters functioned in vanilla. Any player that has played a hunter or against a hunter back then is probably going to ridicule you because of your lack of knowledge regarding the matter.

Hunters can tank, dps and heal and solo small group content, how spoiled can one be?
