The Melee Hunter "Nerf" is here! But most of us got Buffed

[@datolicious4832]

Hope they make MM as good as melee 🙈 i like the range hunter more

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Yeah it really needs a buff now

[@danthewatcher9681]

This means you lot can use the rapier from Gnomes as a main hand weapon and be viable :D becasue it will dea lthe dmf of a 2.4 sword while being a 1.9

[@fanofcodd]

How to fix marksmanship ? Put steady shot at 90 or even 100 % weapon damage and give it a % chance of triggering an instant steady shot. Would not be cheated in pvp because steady shot is hard to place , but would make the marksman hunter be viable

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Not sure :( im not very good with range hunter

[@Tinto2]

make it the same steady shot as tbc and fix kill command and we are good to go

[@Fruza123]

Dont worry , another nerf has hit us

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Haha yes

[@Trickypokerzx]

So what are ideal weapon speed axes for orcs then? I have Force of the hippogryph should I just get any green off hand axe?

[@Dreadpigmelee]

If u want one that is free u can go the one from rfk last boss, the blue boe sickle axe, one of the gnomeregan quests that u can finish outside also has a free offhand axe. These are some examples atleast

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Well u want the one with the highest dmg and dps still wich is usually slow, in this phase there is few axes to choose from tho

[@opilim1]

The Sod Dev are in my opinion taking the melee hunter being competitive as a win, they aimed at making any spec viable/op. After realizing the spec/class has too few utility they probably decided to let melee hunters be for now just because its cost-effective even without kick or any meaningful buff outside of Heart of the lion. and reminder traps are utility but melee are particularly junky without the trap launcher rune. Conclusion we need more utility that are melee based and/or softlock to melee.

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Yeah i really wonder what we gonna get in the next phase, as u say more utility would really help us get groups if we get less power later. In phase 1 it was really rough to get into pugs sometimes

[@casperpalssonhagstrom7373]

Me and my 2 Stalvan Reapers are crying in the corner…

[@erazz32]

If you run carve slow weps are still better💯

[@MrPaint1]

So what are the BIS weapons for melee hunters right now?

[@Dreadpigmelee]

The list is basicly unchanged, is a couple more that became viable but the dps and stats on the top swords are still very good

[@Sokol_CZ_]

​@@Dreadpigmelee now is top mainhand serenity sword+vanisher sword? i have 38lvl sword 2.7 speed from Ashenvale revered, i need change to ashenvale sword to serenity right?

[@blacksky755]

You now put the highest DPS wep in MH and he lower dps wep in oFF hand regardless of speed@@Sokol_CZ_

[@boalollal242]

Summary: Still op.

[@adam6228]

If i play pvp with a 2 hander should i now be looking at a fast 2 hander now? I was using a 3.4 speed 2 hander but there are same dps polearms and swords that are much faster like 1.5 or 1.8 speed.

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Well carve and flanking still does more dmg with a weapon with higher dmg and extra attacks with wild strikes also does more ofc so slow 2handers in pvp is still very nice

[@deang8017]

Is double dagger hunter now viable?

[@Dreadpigmelee]

It would probably perform fine, i did a dagger dps warrior in classic but it would be lower because daggers has its own normalized speed, i think it is 1.7

[@pabloalfaro3768]

What about the epic sword from Gnom [Electrocutioner's Needle], does that will do damage as 2.4? (its 1.7 speed)

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Yeah with raptor strike

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Carve does 50% weapon dmg so it would do less

[@RaiBread.]

Good video. Yeah this is exactly what is happening.. lol to the ppl crying about nerfs. As soon as i found out. I was "wtf how is that a nerf, its actually a buff" im using 2x 2.2s.

[@swiddlewinks2549]

Hey! Is the change live already?

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Yeah came out today

[@swiddlewinks2549]

Thank you so much for fast answer!! Mind if i ask one more ? Does pets benefit from us using strenght/agility scrolls on them? @@Dreadpigmelee

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Yes they do :D

[@GiliusThunderhead]

I miss playing marksmanship 😢

[@Dreadpigmelee]

It has to be a buff brewing yeah

[@tokopaaisen2927]

How is AP Calculated into rs dmg?? I won’t say it’s a nerf, it’s a fix rather, as if everyone else follows the same rules, should hunters do it as well

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Yeah. Not sure how much it goes off ap

[@The_Way_Ministries]

So 2h weapons now?

[@Dreadpigmelee]

They also got normalized or are u thinking of the new nerf that comes next week?

[@unnamed5603]

thx for the nerf dreadpig...just kidding :*

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Haha

[@Adrian890722]

Another nerf wave will come dude

[@Dreadpigmelee]

There is always a chance
