So, as I was talking w/ one of my guildies last, and showing him my brand new shiny s3 gear, this ****** pops out his s3 waraxe. o.O

WTF? How did he get that already? Oh...Blizz doesn't require a rating on the HUNTER SPECIFIC weapon, b/c they insist its purely used for stats. **** YOU BLIZZ.

It would be like them requiring a personal rating for the thrown weapons.

Think about it from a hunters perspective. Their bow costs 3750, same as a warriors 2h. Pretty sure it also requires personal rating. Not fair to charge them 3750 for their main weapon, and then another 3750 for what is essentially just a stat stick.

I approve of it.

Not only that, but i believe the bow has the same stats as our thrown weapons, so it works out to be equal in the end whatever way you look at it.

It's been beaten to death. It's a hell of a lot of stats for cheap Arena Points and no rating, and they get a hell of a lot more use out of it than anyone gets out of Throwing Weapons or Wands, but at this point just let it go. It's not going to change anything.

grrr im pissed off about it

not the no rating, not that at all.. stat stick shouldnt need rating


but how about INSTEAD give em 600 pt one-hand weapons, that total the current stat stick


when i can lock him into melee range and he critted me 3 times in a row, MELEE, for 1300+ i almost broke my keyboard right over my knee

its ********* stats i agree with, but our throwing weapon doesnt hit much harder then a 70 blue one

wanna fix the hunter stat stick issue? how bout 2.2 ****** speed instead? the polearm speed??

no ridiculous white cris, no complaints.... its just frustrating lol

I linked both, take a look again.

I'm sure it has RP, and the points given are valid. They should've amended it to where it at least required SOME rating, or boosted the points on it. It was a just a rant though, and I expected the responses as such.

I would just like to reiterate though...it's BS, lol.

Ok, if you're going to compare our ranged to their ranged, then you should compare our MH/OH to their Hunter specific weapon(which I dont think you should be comparing either, since of prices and rating requirements, but nonetheless).

Hunter's Waraxe
+62 Stam
Equip: Improves hit rating by 15 (0.95% @ L70).
Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 46 (2.08% @ L70).
Equip: Improves your resilience rating by 33 (0.84% @ L70).
Equip: Increases attack power by 92.
Equip: Your attacks ignore 98 of your opponent's armor.

(I'm using the maces for example, but all s3 weapons have same stats, just different damage ranges)

Mainhand
+30 Stamina
Equip: Improves hit rating by 8 (0.51% @ L70).
Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 21 (0.95% @ L70).
Equip: Improves your resilience rating by 12 (0.3% @ L70).
Equip: Increases attack power by 34.
Equip: Your attacks ignore 49 of your opponent's armor.


Offhand
+30 Stamina
Equip: Improves hit rating by 8 (0.51% @ L70).
Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 21 (0.95% @ L70).
Equip: Improves your resilience rating by 12 (0.3% @ L70).
Equip: Increases attack power by 34.
Equip: Your attacks ignore 49 of your opponent's armor.


I'm not going to break it down Barney-style for you, since I'm assuming most of you can do some simple math. We lose a few stam, a few crit rating, 9 resilience, and about 30 AP while gaining 1 hit rating.

What I am saying, is that we have to attain, AND maintain 1850 to keep those weapons and stats, while they have to maintain 1850 to keep their ranged, when in comparison the stats are not that astounding.

blizz SAID you only need rating to BUY, not to use

so about that whole argument.... umm ya...

the PROPER argument is their 2H has more usage for no rating then our throw or a mages wand

that was the big to-do

cuz whether they wann admit it or not, 138dps 3.6 speed can kill a rogue in a clutch situation

a 1-whatever-hundred dps wand will not

wands hit for a few hundred, maybe, at best
that 2h can crit upwards of 1400

see the problem? **** the stats on the damn thing.... most people could care less

its they get more bang out of their 'stat-stick' then we do, but yet both are un-rated weapons

im sure it wouildnt even cause a fuss if the thing was 2.2 like the painsaw, since lets face it, over 7k points for a main weapon and stats on the side is really lame

even for hunters lol

umm alright

but my xavian steillo has dt crit for a good 1400 or so

going up to s3 throw wouldnt add much to it

welfare hunters going from crystalforged waraxe or legacy or soemthing of the sort to s3 stat stick, thats a good jump lol

and their white melee when you are in their face dun require anything to use, dt for big crits = 5 cp

O YA!! /bowflex
