Hunters get shafted in MoP?

[MedivhGM#1758]

So I got my beta invite today and I sent my 49 twinks over. I've only gotten to take a good look at my hunter so far @49. It seems like hunters get the shaft pretty hard considering the fact that hunters can not have ANY melee weapons equipped while a range weapon is equipped. A twink without weapon enchants is no twink at all. I went from 24% crit chance to around 13%. No more wing clip or concussive shot as far as I could see in MoP beta. I am not 100% sure if they intend to fully take away melee weapons on a hunter because when I was in beta I somehow managed to equip a 1H melee weapon in my offhand and a bow in my main hand.... which is how I think it should be. I have never seen an iconic hunter that did not have a knife in its boot or an axe to chuck so I could not imagine blizz taking away all melee weapons while a range is equipped . You could say that none of this is really set in stone but I still would considering the history of beta and ptr in the past. All the bugs you see in mop Blizz paid top dollar to make so they will be there longer than everyone thinks just like all the other bugs you may find in live such as "gem utilization" on twinks. Glyphs are pretty interesting now and a lot of them are abilities from the the old talent tress. Please feel free to share anything you may have discovered in MoP on this thread.

This is a good change afterall but you should also check out this thread:

[OFFICIAL] MoP Beta Hunter Information

"Do not be alarmed by the reduced weapon damage for many of our abilities. ALL classes are getting this treatment to balance low level PvP and will be balanced at higher levels due to the increase in weapon damage in Mists of Pandaria. Do not worry. All will be fine."

Not really sure what this really means for us and haven't checked out the other classes dmg but keep that in consideration.

Too bad I don't have a beta, no annual pass either so I'm not even getting it probably. Still want to try it out so bad. I'm ready to rent a MoP beta account somewhere just to try out monks at twink levels heh =)

I'd say it's still plenty to worry about if you are a hunter. Beta is pretty buggy and a hunter can call out 20 pets during a duel and they sill cant kill my resto druid .
