  • Let's just put it this way, melee hunter is NOT a meme.
    Part of the fun about Season of Discovery is that not everything is already solved, and thus, a guide cannot be complete with the absolute 100% best information, only the best information we have at the time.
    As such, here's my take on the melee hunter. It's a TON of fun and a spec that I think the majority of people playing Season of Discovery will enjoy.

    CORRECTIONS:
    - Mail shoulders from Gnomeregan are obviously better than the chicken shoulders, I just had a bit of a brain fart.
    - Deep survival seems to be performing the best at the moment when perfect conditions are met; e.g. full melee uptime on boss. I'd venture to say the reason why BM was performing better in the first week of gnomer was due to us still figuring out how to play the fights, but I see deep survival pulling ahead more and more over the coming weeks.

      ​@Camjay777 I doubt it. Now in SOD hunters are the ONLY class that is PURE dps, with no other option.they already stated that pvp was not their focus multiple times in their interviews. Week 1 hunters swarmed the top 10 and 100 dps on warcraft logs. Now 6 out of 10 of the top logs are mages including the number 1 spot. Hunter will balance with scaling. Most casters are still using full lvl 25 gear almost. I'm sure it might catch a slight nerf but then they just go lone wolf and survival to compensate. They can't tank or heal they deserve to be in the top of their specialization.

    Hunter really doesn't need any nerf. Just went to my 2nd raid, casters easily out-perform us by a mile.
    Maybe if Blizz nerfs armor values we'd start to see some concern? But I believe Warrs/rogues will simply outscale us in time even without nerfing hunters as they are. Ranged Hunters need a lot of help too.

      @rixxy4674 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Warrior gains barely any DPS with gnomer bis compared to prebis. Most of the items from gnomer are either worse than what warriors can get from quests or the same dps wise but with stamina attached. Warrior's "bis" weapon from gnomer is actually a downgrade for them, and they only put it on because it's comparable to prebis and gives a buff to casters. They aren't going to be scaling to anywhere near what hunters are already doing right now anywhere down the line without changes. Rogues might end up scaling comparably because their prebis isn't very good compared to raid gear and much of their damage is dots right now so they can handle the higher armor values better.
      I also don't know how cooked you are but currently melee hunters are performing about 14% better than the next best dps on average (shadow priests), and their ceiling is about 15% higher than the two higher performing 99th percentile classes as well (fire mage and warlock). This is despite the two last fights in gnomer having higher armor values than bosses at level 60 do and hunters being fully restricted by that damage reduction. Melee hunter is performing 63% better than the next best physical dps class that doesn't rely on dots (warrior) on average, and 49% better than them in the 99th percentile. In fact, the 99th percentile for warrior is performing almost the same as the 50th percentile for melee hunters, the creme of the crop warrior being a mere 6% better than the absolute average melee hunter.
