The neverending changes needed to HR now that they've nerfed us into uselessness again thread

1) Shorten animation time of Gushing Wound. This has been an issue forever, and is about the only thing here that's mostly relevant in pve.
2) Remove the 1-second freeze from the end of the Boar Charge animation that makes it useless in combos, neuters Blade hurricane and amounts to the HR effectively using a CC power on himself. Also, since HR control times have been nerfed into near-nonexistence, what happens is that the target is actually knocked prone for less time that the HR is frozen by the animation. The target simply gets up and walks away before the HR can close to use at-wills. This is ABSURD.
3) Roots should actually root things for a noticeable length of time. I don't want perma-root or perma-stun, but compare our barely-there cc abilities with the obnoxiously long control time of GF abilities or Courage Breaker and the imbalance is obvious.
4) Our dodges need to be lengthened - again - and should actually dodge control effects LIKE EVERY OTHER CLASS' DODGE. The short dodge is also an issue because it unfairly allows other classes - all of which have better stamina regeneration - to always successfully dodge away from an HR if they are halfway competent.
5) Native stamina regeneration needs to be increased. It has always needed to be increased, particularly in light of our tiny dodge.
6) It should not be possible to target through the movement of Marauder's Rush/Escape.
7) Give us a control break/small immunity already. Maybe make it part of Forest Ghost.
8) Dodges, Fox, Forest Ghost, Ambush and/or Marauder's should break target lock, which is abused by GFs, who have been overpowered in pvp for far too long.
9) If we can't rely on piercing damage, then Trapper or Archer should be made viable in pvp again. This means real-world significant regeneration from Oak Skin for archers and actual burst damage for trappers, among many other things.
To be added to.

However, tbh. hopefully pvp will be a different experience once cc is toned down, and our lack of a cc break and crappy dodging will be less of a thing. And with permasoloq, and no real gear requirements, meaning a larger playerbase, pvp will become actually fun again. Fingers crossed.
Finally though, as a pve class, we are fine, and to change anything purely because of our pvp performance, would be dumb.
I'm a close to BiS SW Combat HR atm. I'm hitting crit and arpen cap, 12k recovery, hitting right at 80k power with companion and pots up. The problem that I see from talking with a lot of HRs in the game is that most of them don't really know how to play them properly to max dmg. They don't play aggressive, don't try and set up good positioning for aoe packs and really don't prioritize their rotations.
I will have to try combat spec again and see how it goes. The last time I played combat in pve was before loadouts and I played pve with a pvp spec. Not the most optimal. I stopped playing combat because it requires the usage of alot of at-wills and the constant clicking was taking its toll on my finger.
I definitely agree the hr needs to be played aggressively otherwise you are missing out on the best part of the HR. Hrs are fast and mobile, so I'm excited for the R14 darks to come out. It's not just mashing the keys, you need to understand what's under the hood and what procs what in order maximize the hrs potential.
Thanks for your post, I like hearing how other Hrs are doing. Game on.

A tr solo'd msp and they're supposed to be the second worst dps in the game. Pretty sure if all gwfs didn't care about dmg some would try and build to do the same in either dungeon.
SW/PF combat are burst monsters now and they will be even more in M12b.
u are the only one on this whole forum asking for nerfs...
