zealotry is still 40 nora... and several other hunter and hunter related abilities are similarly wrongly costed. several dot champs were over nerfed as well. when the devs make nerfs they need to make sure they arent overnerfing/shoeboxing runes. they almost never give proper compensation after nerfing a rune(s).

stop nerfing firk pinger please... you keep nerfing a rune thats been fine. you talk about not wanting runes to be unique but you keep trying to shoebox pinger.

alot of the changes made are good tho, but not these.

Worth noting that Hunters were changed to be effective in more cases. They are less strong when they take effect but they take effect more often.

Zealotry now gives 3 AP on cast. If you are going to comment, at least know what you are saying. All Hunters were re-evaluated in cost and effectiveness. If there are specific hunters you feel aren't worth it, go ahead and make an argument for those. These generic statements help no one.

No one shoeboxed pinger. He's fine.

Nerfing a rune shouldn't get compensation. That's not the point of a nerf. God.

@Sokolov zealotry gives ap now but it still doesnt justify its current cost, it should be like 30-35 nora max. pinger was fine before his range was changed to 5 and before he lost swap. alot of the time you need to give the rune compensation in order to actually balance it and keep it competitive instead of shoeboxing the rune.

for example if you have a 7 speed rune that is too strong bringing it down to 6 speed may shoebox the rune, in cases like these you would have to give it something else that is to keep it strong but not as strong as it was with 7 speed. an ability or buff to another stat like 2+ damage or 1def for example. thats how runes become properly balanced.

anthropomancer is a perfect example of overnerfing a rune and not giving it proper compensation to keep competitive. the rune was too strong but now it isnt even usuable. There are countless other examples of this taking place.

much of the time when a strong rune is nerfed it ends up sucking like anthropomancer.

jakei shardmaster could use a quick fix, its been unusuable for over a year now. 4-6 range 9-10 damage chill and savage exploit instead of piercing shot would make it worth running again.
