Theorycrafting gone wrong, 2H not the meta post nerf - Melee Hunter

[@FreshFighter]

I would like to see the actual numbers, especially if you are an Orc, I dont mind losing a few dps for trap launcher and the also the looks of having a 2H axe.

[@Jamer29]

Does having a higher wep skill also increase hit chance?

[@FreshFighter]

@@Jamer29 Yes, you need 3% less hit rating to be soft capped (this is at lvl 60, not sure how it works at lvl40)

[@holdover88]

Should be the same, I think weapon skill it relative to mob level. +3 lvls higher should make +5weapon skill equal at 40 to 60. Less hit needed, but also less glancing blow dmg loss@@FreshFighter

I finally learned how dw raptors strike dmg is calculated. That will help players to decide 2h or dw. Total dmg counts for 2 x raptor strike for each hand= mh dmg + 80+ oh dmg +60. And 2h raptor strike is 2h dmg + 80. So as long as 2h dmg -(mh dmg + oh dmg )

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Eyy nice! :D

[@okaymatt2497]

Thanks for the update Sven. Full BM is better than full surv right?

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Yeah bm will be the meta

[@DominicKennedy-j5g]

@@DreadpigmeleeIt’s not so bad that it’s going to be meta again because it will certainly be better next phase at 50, there is no decent subspec for survival melee until 60 when we can get down to intimidation. Next phase we’ll have to be 31/0/10.

[@tokopaaisen2927]

You can also go 7 in sv just for 20% crit. But I do notice when I am fighting 43 whelps, I get far less crit than 20%. I assume it has something to do with mob defense level. So full bm might be better fighting the boss

[@dustinmorgan7036]

I've got both 2 hander epic an the fist .. there are very close ..it's nice to see big crit numbers with the 2h ...but my raid loves me using the fist for the.raid wide debuff it puts out ❤

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Luckyyyy! :D hope i atleast see one drop today

[@FuzioNda1337]

almost always dualwield yields more dps than any 2hander im maining warrior, the only reason 2h is better than dw fury is two factors bosses had high armor, AND, the fact how powerful deepwound is and that it got nerfed where it does go on offhandweapon dmg aswell. and the fact that you lack hit in gnomer. 2hander also scales better with slam, wich is our go to rune for this phase wich goes on unormalized weappon dmg wich is another win for 2h, there is a world with absolute perfect gear that dw wins. but it depends on how long the fights are also. you gotta realise vanilla and old wow your melee swings always deals most of your damage, whiteswings deals alot more than everything else and it gets even crazier the longer and higher lvl we go to.

[@viktorsh4261]

I got Thermaplugg Axe anyways, i love it for questing and one world

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Nice :D i want one too for pvp

[@marcelldeon]

Sarthe definitely prematurely announced that. I'm excited that we WON'T be using 2H. I do agree it would be fun in PvP though. I still feel confident that the spec will be just fine. We just might lose some flavor of the month players. (oh darn...) I think this might have been the best for long term. Many Rogues, Warriors and other melee were finding themselves benched due to how much of a gap melee hunters were performing on. The average noob hunter could top meters by pressing 2 buttons and outshining the average and even decent warriors and rogues. For game balance and the ability to not fall into too much of a world of meta. This needed to happen. Just wish it wasn't 30% and they tried dropping it to like 15% or something. We won't know how well it goes really until it goes live here in a few hours. I'm certain it will still be a strong contender.

[@presticles123]

This is going to just lead to all melee being benched lol

[@Mengeneful]

dude was even happy about hunter nerfs so listening to him is foolish

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Yeah we are gonna do fine

[@PvP-ls7yo]

If you would have done any research at all, and consulted the hunter discord. 20 mins after his video they disproved what he said. You get one pass.. this is it. Don't just copy paste someone else's videos for views.

[@Dreadpigmelee]

Well i had to belive someone and he seemed very sure of himself and his source 😂 but yeah i should have just simmed it myself and checked, think i found that discord now tho seems very active

[@erikarnesen6052]

"You get one pass" get the fuck out of here 😂😂

[@newten704]

People like you is what makes this game so shitty
