All the bad play
What gives? I'm not talking about the typical bad play we're all guilty of. I'm talking about just tonight alone I've been killed on my R2 baby SB who's in king's gear doing supplies quests. In that time I've gotten a R7 NS to pop R5 and blow purge...despite me having done nothing but mez poisoned him, /rofl'd him, then sat down so I'd die faster and had a R9 Hero blow purge on me when I mezz poisoned him, despite being at 0% health. I've seen behavior like this the past week doing these supply quests. RP's that hard to come by, timers no longer exist, or just horrible players without a clue of what's happening?

I have, but while that's lame I get that given the population so I won't hate on that.
Also, where the hell were these broken plateau keeps back in the day. It'd have been awesome to play them back pre-Ywain clustering.
But there also those people that would do it with any population.
I do seem to recall you freely blowing purge and vanish or resetting fight on your mains if the time is right. If you're a known player you can't expect anything but full court press.
So to sum it up, I understand why these high RRs are poppin RAs left and right... it's cuz there's no pop.. cuz EC was a flop
Easier to make that your sig Kat . Stealth zergs are a cancer, and bring back hunter rr5!

I don't post about the hunter rr5 anymore. I now understand why it had to be changed. Stealth zergs made it OP. What is necessary for a solo hunter, is way too OP when zergers use it. Because of Stealth zergs, we can't have nice things anymore
That is also why I don't understand why the ranger rr5 is still in game.
I like your suggestion

In my opinion, they keep the ranger r5 because the hunter pet is op when used in a group. Disease, snare, dump 8 of these and you can really create havoc ( I really want to try this against full visi groups, but guild doesn't play mid anymore). Alb gets hosed here, unless they run a minstrel to mez/stun the dogs.
That's why I suggested pet scare instead of pet attack. I watched a vid recently of a ranger taking out two BD's. It is OP.
That alone makes it basically useless against anything not a pet class.

That is 24% of the all classes. Take out the classes no one really plays anymore, and the percent affected is even higher
but rangers don't tend to fight enchanters, mentys, druids or animists. so.........more like 14% (i didnt really do the math, its an estimate). Kat, really, no hate here. You really should try switching your spec up and run higher melee, less dog. The current hunter r5 is actually pretty good if you can switch up to melee effectively. On my hunter i find it very useful. Just a thought, i know you do well with current spec, i see the spam, just a thought.
I already did....this is not about the hunter rr5. But, your right. That was dumb of me to add hibs.
Actually the 24% are okay - you are not fighting Hibs at all so takeing that into account a third of all classes drop out of the calculation - so the numbers kind of hold.
Side note Scouts are underpowered in Melee 8(
I think it would depend on the number of people playing the classes. Pet classes are highly played. Plus, it doesnt just affect those playing the class, but the people they are grouped with.
Also it's not just how many classes it affects but how badly it effects them. it completely ruins the match up with pet classes ( tried my solo mini and even after fight it's just broken and I need to get another pet (and re-buff it, you know how far I had to go to get that pet!)). I think kats just mad at how little skill (on the rangers side) + how little counter play you have when fighting rangers as a pet class. And it being a stealth class makes it even worse (on my mini I just run from classes I don't want to fight (pet scare, ext) but when you can't see them until they pop and turn your pet it leaves you with no counter play, some of them are melee rangers to visually it's difficult when they are the supper small to figure out if they are ns or ranger).
Even when you win, you lose as your pets will no longer fallow you. And you need to do the same stuff as if you died (get a pet, buff it). It's just frustrating (maybe it's balanced (not 100% sure on this) but it's not enjoyable to play against and I would hope they could come up with a better solution (there has always kind of been this unbalance with the bow classes ranger is favored vs Hunter, Hunter vs scout (pet allows for kitting), and scout vs ranger (easy to engage one target) and I don't much mind it because you use to be able to over come the disadvantage with some skill, but with relics/rr5 and pop issue there is very little a hunter can do vs a competent ranger
Just my 2 cents.
It doesn't "scare" away the pet, it turns the pet against the owner (using my spec pts against me)...then after attacking the owner, it dies. It doesn't come back. It is gone till either the pet timer is back up, or the caster can recast. It is totally OP and only a ranger would think otherwise. I have not suggested the ranger get nerfed, or the rr5 changes, except for one little difference. Make it a pet scare instead of a pet attack.
And @rocketait - I am not mad. I am actually perplexed that BS has nerfed all stealthers, except the ranger and leaves in this OP rr5.
