Why hunters are still bad imo even after fox

[seymourclearly]

Silences currently affect Mend Pet, Trap Launcher and Kill Command, to name a few. Nullifying Kill Command and Mend Pet pretty much makes BM very difficult to use, along with the pet positional requirements of Kill Command. Not only that, but it only takes a simple snare on your pet, and when combined with having to constantly kite players, you effectively have to kite them towards your pet for it to deal any damage.

Don't get me wrong, the Deterrence and Master's Call buffs are 2 good steps in the right direction, but there are other things that need to be addressed in conjunction with them, in order for hunters to become more on par with other classes.

To expand a bit on an imaginary dev roundtable discussion:

Blizzard: "We're getting rid of volley, as it feels too much like a magical power. We want hunters to be a physical class"
Hunters: "Seems reasonable. So how do you explain limitless ammo?"
B: "Oh, well.. that's magic"
H: "but you just said.."
B: "Azeroth is full of wonders, it?"
H: "well, what about our traps then?"
B: "definitely a physical skill, we like where they are currently"
H: "so how come we can't use them when we're silenced?"
B: "uhhh well... uhh.... Azeroth is full of wonders?"
H: *head on desk*

Fox Mulder? What does he have to do with hunters? Or fox pets?

Hunters are still bad in your opinion after fox because... your opinion.

I'm not much of a PvPer myself, but I'd say that hunters are effective kiters (and burst as BM). But I agree that overall they're fairly weak right now.

yea but aspect of the fox was supposed to "fix hunters" once they got it...Even though their dmg is terrible unless they are survival
