Subject: What's Up with Hunters
   This post is to keep you updated as to the major issues surrounding the class. I will update this when new information is available. Please keep in mind that this may not be updated daily, but I will do my best to keep this accurate when it comes to current events. When I add more information on an issue, it will be prefaced with a NEW: tag and the "Last Updated" field will be updated accordingly.

(Please forgive me, as I may miss some things at first. I will keep adding to it as I go.)

ACTIVE ISSUES/CONCERNS

Issue: The Results of ***The List***
Last Updated: --
Status: Currently in early review process.

Issue: Pet Run Speed Bug
Last Updated: --
Status: The developers have fixed this internally and it is in the hands of QA for verification. I have no ETA on when a fix will be live.

Issue: Pet Damage Decreased on Test Realms
Last Updated: --
Status: This is unintentional and they are working on fixing this issue. I have no further information on this at this time.

Issue: Creatures now Dodge/Parry/etc. Ranged Attacks on Test Realms
Last Updated: --
Status: QA and Development are currently running tests between Live and Test realms to determine what precisely is happening and why.

RESOLVED/INACTIVE ISSUES

Issue: +Attack Power Buffs Do Not Give Ranged Attack Power
Last Updated: 4/12/05 1:04PM - clarification
Status: Buffs that do not explicitly state that they give Ranged Attack Power on the in-game tooltip do not, and this is intended. Items that give +Attack Power boost both melee and ranged Attack Power. This is intended. The developers are in discussions on ways to make this more clear to the player.

Issue: Targets now Dodge/Parry/etc. Ranged Attacks on Test Realms -- miss rate is higher
Last Updated: 4/13/05 - 11:50AMPST
Status: NEW: It has been determined that there was a problem with the miss rate calculation -- a change has been made that should decrease the rate being seen on the Test Realm, and that fix should be in when the patch goes live.

Issue: Crit% gear reported as being less effective on Test Realms
Last Updated: --
Status: This should not have changed at all from live implementation and is being investigated.

Issue: Targets now Dodge/Parry/etc. Ranged Attacks on Test Realms -- miss rate is higher
Last Updated: 4/13/05 - 4:45PMPST
Status: NEW: This change will not reach Live realms -- it has been removed. Dodge and Parry will not apply to ranged attacks. (Note: there is a messaging change -- some Misses were being wrongly called Deflects -- so the actual "miss" word may be shown more, but the miss rate is not different)

Issue: Crit% gear reported as being less effective on Test Realms
Last Updated: --
Status: This should not have changed at all from live implementation and is being investigated.

Issue: Non-Hunters receive rez sickness when resurrecting a pet
Last Updated: --
Status: This is resolved on the Test Realm.

This issue is on the inactive list because it will not be changed in the near future. The way "attack power" buffs work currently is how they are designed to work -- without buffing ranged.
