C. Hunters - Their ranged weapon is broken (0 durability) and yes, this is the reason they changed the hunter epic from changeable to having both of them at once. And you thought it was a buff.

My understanding is that the change was due to the fact that enchantments persist after transformation. They didn't want hunters to be able to enchant their staff with +22 int, +15 agility, etc., and then transform it into a bow retaining that enchantment.
