Besides, all this talk of doom and quitting seems just so ridiculous
I can understand posting in this manner on the official boards where the Blizzard staff read it and collate it and pass on the feedback to designers. Dramatic threats to quit (and thereby impact the company's bottom line) are par for the course.
But does anyone really think that making one of the game's notably weaker classes 10% better will ruin their enjoyment? Here where no designer is likely to look
Mage v hunter is still an easy win for the Mage. The only hunters who have significantly increased chance against mages are possibly the ones with the top beast talent. Certainly not 10% extra life.
Warrior v hunter is the same battle it's always been - can you catch us? It's one of the better player match ups because it's so much about player skill.
Shaman v hunter should be a walk-over for the shaman. It's the kiting class against the class best designed to foil kiting (frost shock, earthbind, ghost wolf).
