Return of Hunter Deadzone

Now I think it's quite likely that it is a bug resulting from the accidental removal of minimum range last beta patch, BUT:

to be absolutely certain, is the return of the deadzone in this most recent patch intentional?


And on another note, good job, Camo looks pretty badass.

That does look pretty neat, they already stated minimum range is here to stay, so it's likely a bug.

I agree that it is most likely a bug.

But I'd really appreciate confirmation as it is, in mine and many other Hunters' opinions, the single most important issue regarding the class.

And they were extremely quick to resolve whether min range removal had been a mistake.

That does look badass. I expected it to be just like the stealth graphic.

Still pretty anxiously wondering.

Edit: great > good

edit: apparently I wrote my question INSIDE the quote... /sigh

Here is the question again:
Wait, so, what's cammo do? Is it like shadowmeld (stealth with no movement)?

Yes it is. It was never meant to be removed.

Uh, no, you're failing to understand.

Not only was minimum range re-implemented (as expected), but DEADZONE has returned (Hunter min range is no longer 5 yards on beta, it's 8. They can melee 0-5, and ranged 8-40, but from 5-8 they can do nothing).

What I, and many many many other Hunters would like to know, is- is the return of the Deadzone a bug as we expect/hope, or is it an intentional change?

Now Hunters can join in full-stealth-group-final-boss-instance-farming with Rogues and Druids, of course.

i'm just gonna sneak around the boss and drop snake traps.

What the.. i was thinking about minimum range.

I was presuming the 5-8 was history !! Why would they bring that back!?

because they made a mistake when fixing the no minimum range thing?

That's what I'm hoping to have answered. It's also pretty suspect that now even Scattershot has a min range according to beta posters.

Still hoping for some kind of response. Pretty big deal.

They would not bring back such an old clunky game mechanic after 5 years, don't sweat the deadzone bug.

I would certainly think it's unlikely to be anything other than a bug....if not for the fact that a lot of people thought Volley removal was a bug, since there was no ready replacement for it, until Blizz actually said something. And many many Hunters rejoiced that min range had finally been removed until Blizz actually said something.

Ouch.
