Once again, Hunters are being ignored.

If Blizzard want to fix class balance for Hunters, and make them actually viable in Arena as anything that isn't a Burst team, then they need to

1) Nerf Dismantle/Disarm, or make Deterrence useable whilst disarmed, i.e. not require a melee weapon.

2) Buff the damage of Explosive Shot by about 10 - 15%

3) Remove the cooldown and dot from Wyvern Sting, but add diminishing returns.

4) Make Scatter Shot baseline and affect targets in a 20 yard cone in front of the Hunter.

5) Rework Raptor Strike to be a devastating melee strike, hitting very high and immobilising the target for 5 seconds, but on a 30 second cooldown.

Hunters are already arena viable...Just look at the SK top 100...it's like 11% hunters. The only other DPS that is more viable is locks at 13%.

Hunters need a good nerf if anything...4 seconds of explosive shot should not eat half my health with the resilience I'm packing.

@Lemons

Do people in high rating Arena forget how to snare Hunters in melee and cheaply 4 shot them or something? If people are having problems with Hunters in Arena, they need to either l2roll a melee class, or majorly l2p.

And no, they're not overpowered, that is just complete and utter bullcrap spread by all the PvP QQing melee who whine they can't oneshot someone.
