all by the easy way... sure, camo is the best way to surprise an enemy with rep shot or any other skill, nobody denies that! its like to say "sactuary is the best way to rezz a dead char" everybody can see it!

have you played hunter with 30 sec camo? you could go sneaky and deploy rep, just like you can doit now, with an slight difference, it was a challenge. mana was an important factor, a lot of practice was needed, a correct timing for enemies buffs to end, calculate distance and time to reach the enemy was important too, it was indispensable to stalk your enemies using the environment, rocks, trees, hills, even mobs like bears or tralls and then cast camo, because having 30 sec duration and 50% speed penalization you could cover a really small area walking invisible.

with the actual camo: you track some enemies, and go camo, sit for a while regain mana, and still have more than one minute to approach to your victims, you can see if they have an important buff, if they have, you can wait, almost all defensive buff lasts less than 90 sec. if they move a little u can chase them, and then u cast ure skill. it is like playing in "easy mode"

withe the old camo, escaping was not for sure, it was a matter of experience, and practice, and maybe a little luck.

with the actual camo, a hunter who cast it, is a hunter gone, all you have to do is run, run, run, then hide behind a tree for 4.5 secs and u are gone for 90 seconds, if u reappear, u reappear plenty of HP and mana.

i hope that your entire argument for camo not being unbalanced is not only that "it is the best way to deploy rep", i dont know about you, but i have deployed hundreds of repetitions shots using nothing but ambush(4)

regarding to the topic of the skills, is not only me, almost every hunter i know hates the fact of have a repeated passive skill, or a skill for tracking monsters ¿why on earth would i need that?
i dont care if track monster or track ally detects enemies too! i already got 2 more skills that does the same thing!

i dont need a toolbox replete of hammers, why, oh god why! i have 4 hammers?! please give me another tool!
