I have a few ideas I wanted to share with you people on what I think blizz should change about hunters in the low level brackets (10-39). I'm not trying to flame on the class, however, my opinion(as well as many other peoples') is that the class is extremely and disgustingly OP at this point in time, even moreso than before cata.
On that note, here are the ideas:
-Change hunter scaling so in the lower level brackets (10-39), hunters and their pets will do 30% less damage overall.
-Aimed shot damage should be lowered by 70% for all level brackets except for the endgame
-Wing clip must either cost focus (I'm proposing 20) or be a skill learned at level 20(to balance out CC with rogues and their crippling poison)
-Concussive shot should be a skill learned in the 30s (possibly higher, I suggest implimenting it in at the same time as hand of freedom is learned)
-Hunter's mark should give 2 debuffs, one that increases ranged attack power to the target, same duration. Another that last 5 seconds and allows the hunter to see the target regardless of stealth (this will get rid of the rediculous /hunter makes stealth openers unusable anywhere near the hunter until the hunter puts mark on another target)
-Disengage and SS stay the same (they need it in the 19 bracket imo they're fine as they are)
I am aware of the crazy opening rogue bursts at the lower levels as well as 60+, the OP pallyness at 29, and the 13k crits arcane mages pull on the wsg FC. However, since I'm only covering 10-39 I'd say regardless of pally/rogue damage, hunter damage coupled with the extreme CC they're given nullifies those two classes. A pally/rogue can pull off decent numbers in the endgame pvp stats, but that would only mean they're probably going after the paper classes that they can win against, if a pally or rogue (29/39) dueled a hunter 1v1 or went after one in a bg alone, the hunter could flaw them hands down.. just want to give the other classes a chance. Btw I could go over other classes I'd like to see changed as well, but I only want to focus on low level hunters in this post, thus why I'm posting in the 10-19 since It's one of the most affected brackets.
I want to see your thoughts on this, did I go too harsh or is this a decent revamp?
