Line of Sight:
We do plan to introduce two new Hunter abilities that will help combat LoS issues
(those we'll announce soon), which we believe plagues Hunters the most out of other classes.
We understand this has been an issue throughout Burning Crusade, but we couldn't really address it correctly
without introducing new abilities, talents, etc. (which we can do in the expansion) We're also
(as funny as it sounds) improving Hunter melee DPS through an improvement to Aspect of the Beast
(10% Melee AP buff while this aspect is active), and removed the conditional from Mongoose Bite
(so you can use it even if you haven't dodged the opponent).
Though you won't be doing as much damage if you were at range, you'll find a pretty significant
damage potential while in melee range with these changes.
近付かれたらAspect of the Beast(笑)でmelee AP(笑)を上げて
Raptor(CDつき)とMongoose Bite(CDつき)で殴れと、公式見解が出ました。
二つ追加するabilityってのは気になるけど。
