Quote:Since I started playing, hunters were at a certain level and were then constantly being nerfed and nerfed and nerfed. Or, to be more specific, things were being introduced into the game that hunters simply couldn't handle well (Arenas being the prime example)
As Bolty mentioned, the difference between a good hunter and a great one (in both PvP and PvE) is astounding. As I mentioned a while back to Artega...hunters are used to nerfs, and find ways to work around them very quickly (the great ones do, anyhow). So that's one of the reasons why it's so hard to balance hunters at all. If you make them "easy", then the great ones blow the doors off everything. If you make it so that the great ones have issues, the good/average ones will be really, really hurt.
Fun balancing act, to be sure.
