No PVP weapons for PVE hunters, so dwarfs are hosed.

Unread post by Slickrock »

Dwarf hunters are getting another nerf.

Along with teasing us with the raid gun and then making it a crossbow, now Blizz is making it foolish to go for the PVP gun.

“Season 10 Conquest Point weapons will only be purchasable once a required minimum sum of Conquest Points has been reached during the current season. For example, Ruthless Gladiator’s Pike costs 3400 Conquest Points to purchase. However, players must first earn a total of 11650 Conquest Points during Season 10 before they are able to purchase it.”

So a dwarf hunter would have to waste 8250 Valor on Conquest gear before you could get the PVP gun (and at 1250 points to convert per week, that’s 7 additional weeks delay at least, assuming you are earning that much Valor to convert each week.

So, they take away the T12 gun, and effectively block us from getting the PVP gun. What’s a dwarf hunter supposed to do?

Sure the 1% crit is nice to have, but not absolutely necessary.

Still got a good month of the PTR, things could still change.
I believe if you can believe out of nothing an explosion (big bang) happened then how far fetched can god be?

He's completely justified in his complaints, there are ALMOST NEVER any good guns around, and removing the new one is just a slap in the face. -.-

Oh I see, I get that's why so many people are upset. I'll admit to not paying much attention to the item levels and such for raids.

Yeah... I have to say, this is a little harsh. Sort of wondering why exactly Blizz is doing this. They can't be oblivious to the Dwarf hunter plight.

And this is why, when I'm going for racial bonuses, I tend to skip the weapon specific ones. :P I feel sorry for dwarves.

I've tried that in the past... did not end well.

One of the reasons that I went Orc on horde-side instead of Troll.

Yeah, don't know what their reasoning is, but if it goes live this way.. Slick will be riding the pine at least until the next major patch or next expansion.

Less than 3 weeks now. June 21. (Although they'll have another month before the raid content is accessible).

It's partially the principal of the thing. And for raiding, you want every bit you can get. 1% Crit is actually a lot at our current gear levels.

June 21 isn't an official date by any means. It's purely speculation based on the blue post. They didn't say the season would end then, they said would end as early as then. It could end in July for all we know.
