The point is when playing a hunter with others of equal talent and gear... hunters get owned, not beat, owned... Reread this thread, I have taken the time to show 2 guys who think they are fine cause they top their guilds that we are not. There is another thread where the same thing was posted several times...
One dude said our dps was fine and his logs showed him doing 18th in his 25 man... ya thats fine?
Next dude said he was top on all his fights but multidot fights... his logs showed him never in first and that he was playing with vastly inferior players is why he was so high in guild.
I even had a dude that tried to link his top 2-3 Leishen/Raden kills to prove hunters were great, yet 3 weeks later he did MORE dps on the fights and plummeted to 9th in his guild. (if you dont know what that means its that he linked a log that was with back up/none geared raiders so it made him look good, I found a real log of the top raiders and he dropped to middle in the guild...)
You may think its not bad, and I will respect your opinion.
However, when every numerical fact says we are pretty bad, the top hunters in the world say we are brought only for "agil mail gear soak", my personal experience shows we are trending downward rapidly and have been for a long time, and you add the fact that every recent patch has seen a hunter buff right after Dumbasscrawler said we are fine... I think Ill trust my opinion and what I know to be true.
