No legendary metagem for hunters???

He was talking about the weapon, not the new meta gems.

Wow just a little late to the party aren't we.

I deleted the post, I hit send, then went back to my game, apparently my browser was lagging so it didnt post right away, when I came back to my browser it finally went through, then seen it said a few times so I deleted my post since it was kinda redundant.

Hunters are currently the only class that uses ranged weapons, and Blizz felt that was cluttering up the loot tables, plus 11 classes is kind of a weird number, so they're just gonna get rid of the Hunter class. Win/win, imho.

Almost enough to make me start playing again.

To be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if they completely forgot about one for us, considering they've neglected to fix anything wrong with Hunters in the last 3...4 PTR builds. It's not like we have an unplayable broken spec and 3 bloated rotations or anything.

THIS! more then a 1000000000 times this..

[Kalcheus]

You think this is bad, wait until the PVP Hunters get wind of the +Power/+Resil melee weapon enchant now on the PTR

[Nebria]

dear hunters when you will learn it that you are classified as melees? the melee gem will be yours for sure.

[skitzy129]

Stupid pointless thread.

PTR is PTR.

Schnottz's Medallion of Command isn't so sure

ok bad wording^^ isn't it the case that hunters use the same trinkets (with procs) as agi melees? same entchants? I'm sure they just forgot to get the wording right for the gem to include hunters attack style (as so often)
wait for the next build and/or gc twitter posts about this

Believe me, I'm not panicking. I'm just posting a prevalent example of "This can't be right, they must've simply forgot to include Hunters because they're the only class left out of the rewards" that was never fixed. And of course, the Medallion was a questing blue, not a Legendary, so the QQ would be overwhelming if they don't fix it.

I don't see a healer one unless I read it wrong.

[Oneleg]

WTF is that all about? melee gets a gem, casters get a gem tanks get a gem, PvPers get a gem. No gem for hunters...

I was looking at the "caster" gem, and I would have to pass on that item, 30% haste for 10 sec, when people are starting to get near the haste cap already. Actually they all look pretty craptacular, so we just have to wait and see if they make em a bit more interesting.

It's a proc'd Bloodlust, essentially. If it procs often enough, a higher haste cap may be determined to aim for with it.

Would be interested to know the proc rate, stamina on a meta gem is kinda a waste for a healer :S Hopefully they change that to int or spirit. Then it would actually be decent. Unless the proc rate is suitably high i doubt i would use that as a healer.

They put Stamina on all the legendary gems (with the exception of the PVP one, which appears to be a different issue). It may just be there based on copying the template from an existing meta gem.

[Nerevar]

I don't quite agree with that. Strength gives parry as well as increases the effectiveness of your type of shield, absorption or mitigation mechanic. The extra damage isn't wasted either.

Would you be happier with a stamina gem instead?

Mastery would be good actually

It's quite possible the new socket will be in addition to your existing meta gem. So its on top of not instead of.

What I'm really keen to know is wtf capacitance is exactly... Reminds me of [Lighting Capacitor]

its a proc thing, once you get i think they said 3 stacks you hit the target with a lighting attack for a set amount of damage

here we are

@Ghostcrawler I know it's only data-mined info but it looks like there isn't a legendary meta for hunters. Oversight or missing info?

Greg Street ‏@Ghostcrawler
@whisperjeff Missing info. The capacitive one works for weapons, not just melee weapons.

Do you guyes even read what you post

YOu really think blizzard are going to ignore a dps class for this gem. Chances are you will have the melee one and they will reword it.
