Hunters will be nerfed!

All this feedback on so many people wanting to be a hunter is going to lead Blizz to nerf the class! I think I see at least 33% of the people wanting to be a hunter.
P.S. Everyone say the hunter sucks and no one play it so it"ll get boosted more :P

Everyone thinks the hunter will be too powerful... WHY?! Just because it has a pet? Please! Give me a break, the warlock has a pet, and is a caster class, yet people find it the weakest class atm.
Your pet won't ever be = level anyways, so it won't be that powerful. Just think of the pet as a nice damage add. Will raise your overal damage output, and interupt casters. So they may just make the Hunters ranged weapon damage slightly lower, so that the pet will have to make up the difference.

Hunters wont be nerfed. They'll probably be quite weak, with their leather armors and bows.
But in large numbers, they could be the best asset of a group. A band of hunters behind , and some warriors infront to stop the onslaught , and the hunters will kick butt with their bows from behind.No army is complete without a massive group of archers(hunters). I remember one real battle(forgot the name) , a group of 5000 English Longbow rchers, defeated a ~30,000 french army!!
Hunters will also be one of the best PvP-ers. The pet is excelent at keeping players busy, while getting arrows shoved up their arse!! And if the other player gets TOO close, you can always double-wield and kick some major butt!
I've seen item stats on worldofwar.net, and the Platemail and Leather armors are almost the same in stats!! So , hunter will still have enough defense ,even with leathers.
Thatz, the french didn't win, they LOST! And yes, it was partially because of the terrain - The english had 2 forests on their flanks, so the french cavalry couldn't surround them. But still , 5000 Armor-piercing arrows fired upon you every second, will surely kick your butt
In close(hand-to-hand) combat, the hunter will be a light warrior, and not a caster(he aint got spells...). So he isn't good in hand-to-hand, but he can manage, while the warriors can't do anything if they're being shot from afar
Don't forget that the Hunter also has a sniper skill, which will enable him to fire from REALLY far , basicly killing any warriors in sight ,while the pet keeps the casters(healers) busy.
From my looks , the hunter is the strongest class around. In large numbers, with just 5-6 warriors,and a few healers/buffers they can be the ultimate military force! That's why i think Blizzard will do something to dispower them.
Personally, I'm playing a Night Elf Huntress(she's damn hot...
)
I'm pretty sure the main reason alot of people want to be hunters is the rumor that NE hunters become Demon Hunters. Which would be awesome i'd like to be DH too! Thats why i hope their is a variety of choices when they do add heros and your not stuck with only having 1 or 2 hero options when you reach whatever level. That way i don't need to be a hunter like all the other noobs

Nerfs are done for real ballance, by open or closed betas end things will be reasonably balanced.

Thing is...if your doing a solo pvp....say..hunter vs...warrior....
you all say the pet will distract the player....think again.....
That will do nothing....
All that warrior has to do...is simply run past your pet and come up to you.....and kick the crap out of you while your weak 5 level lower then you pet is doing little dmg......
I may try a hunter but i doubt that will be the first class I play.

Of course the hunter will get nerfed. But so does everything else. We don't really know how strong or weak the class is right now anyways, since it's not implemented. And i'm sure that most of the people who want to play a NE hunter will play it for a little while then give up and try something else less complicated, like a warrior. Few people want to play complicated classes that require planning and thinking and micromanagement.

Proof it's not a scam
The hunter will possibly be alot like the druid is in some ways, the "well rounded" character. The druid has heals though which might make him see more group time than a hunter. Reason i say the hunter will be well rounded is because the range attacks and arrow enhancers will make the hunter a little like a caster with some melee powers. So a hunter is pretty much a light warrior and a light caster. Also there is a skill that the hunter can get that allows him/her to attack while running which can be very helpful at times. Yes hunters wont see alot of group time since they only thing they could do for a group now is calm down some creatures, but a group of hunters with their pets can be deadly. Also, dont forget that the pets will also have spells and other abilitys to help.
Will the hunter be "uber strong," no. Will it be weak, no. Will it see alot of group time, no.
Shouldn't you be on the EQ2 forums?

The hunter is the most anticipated class because it is a jolly animal loving class that the younger population will adore, but people don't realize that summoning animals isn't going to match up against other classes. It will be the players micro and perfection of spells and animals that will make the hunter class unbeatable. Blizzard is taking so long because they are making the HUNTER system so complicated that it will drive out noobies from playing the class because they will suck and it won't be fun for them. Therefore the hunter hype will lessen after a month or two of the release.
Pure gold right there, that's just... priceless.
I hope yer right.

Even if the hunter has a pet he is not more powerful than the other classes. Warlocks have pets and they aren't better than the other classes.
Everyone wants to be a hunter?? Not me...no interest in it, I think it will balance out in the end...besides if everyone was a hunter the forests of Azeroth would be bare...hehe Typically people bounce back and forth in games like this...I don't think Blizzard will need to nerf them nerf them.
