IMO it should work only for barbs/knights.
Kind of crazy when hunters can do 600-900 normals/ensnares/dual shots and 1.5-2k rep.shots  (if they don't get resisted)
I know it's only few seconds that their buffs lasts, but it also takes only few seconds to kill somebody like that 
Again they are getting camo+best dps, sniff.
"don't run alone" can't be only counter against that, there will be always situations where one have to run alone + it should not be only for hunters feature (running around alone and knowing that they have high high chance to kick ass) |
my "OP'ness" lasts 6 seconds and costs me:
This JUST the attack mind you - not protecting myself or debuffing the other person (outside of DS and Sudden Strike)
Death Sentence(5) => 170 mana
Sudden Strike(1) => 80 mana
Dirty Fighting (2) => 140 mana
Cold Blood (5) => 300 mana
Ensnare (5) => 160 mana
So that's 770 mana for 6 seconds worth of hits - and if ANYTHING gets evaded or resisted (which usually occurs) then lots of that mana is wasted. Now - mind you I have not used ambush, confuse, or anything else - including my own protection buffs.
After this 6 seconds is over...you know how hard I hit...
135 damage - and I have a NICE bow. I'm sure many other hunters hit alot lower than that.
Will hunter config this way - probably - NGD wants us to be more rogue like. I don't consider this to be OP when it only happens for 6 seconds.
