Patch 2.1.2 preliminary notes

[NotSoDarklord]

Hunters are not a good class in the arenas because of class design and the actual layout design of the arenas themselves. The only class I'll even accept arguments about Arena issues being worse for is the druid and I still think they are better in arenas but at least I think they have a leg to stand on as far as griping goes. I haven't checked but I bet that of the hunters in those numbers that a lot of them are only playing 30-40% of the games, that even on the top teams they are getting drug in the ratings up.

I beg to differ GG. An effective hunter is a nightmare in the arenas (More noteably in the larger brackets) due to their survivability, utility, and damage a hunter brings to the table. I think that hunters are definitely underrepresented at the moment but looking at the ultra high-end pvp more teams played a hunter than a rogue in the various rounds of the arena tournament so far. While they are subject to all sort of kiting and los tactics by individual members they provide a source of dps that is not easily controlled in any way. I can't count the number of 5v5 matches my (admittedly terrible 1800ish rating) team has lost due to trying to focus a monster in 200-300 resilience sporting at least 12k health with a get out of trouble free BW button to totally ruin our efforts and to top it all off snares for our melee to keep them off of him.
