I'm pretty excited about this! No deadzone is awesome BUT I think we gain it at the cost of no Melee Weapons.
Personally, I'm not too sure what to think. No deadzone BUT huge loss of Agility? Unless they somehow give us a relic or something for a small boost, we'll loose a huge amount of DPS.

Why do people not have the foresight to see that Blizzard will obviously balance us (and all other classes) around this...?
Because when we did have the foresight of them fixing hunter's in Arena's due to major issues we are still bottom of the ladder.

Other classes will be losing their stat sticks as well, albeit ranged slots tend to carry less stats than melee slots... Casters will be losing weapons too it seems, in favor of wands.
yup. All relics will be gone, and wands will become mainhand weapons instead of mages and priests now using 1h weapons like maces and daggers.
So everyone loses 1 weapon slot they're not using much anyway (except maybe thrown for rogues).
I think they'll probably just make abilities not require Thrown or something like that.
Rogues will throw their main hand weapon.
As for loss of stats from not having the Melee weapon, every other class will lose their stat sticks, so it should balance that way. The big problem is that melee weps have a TON more stats than melee.
Ranged Weapons will have similar stats as other 2 handed weapons

Adding and subtracting stats on and off of weapons is (at least theoretically) a lot easier than balancing a specific set of tools and abilities against 9 others in a dynamic PvP environment. :P
Touche my friend. It shall be an interesting expansion...

see we will now be the only class using ranged weps so they will most likely by just like the rest of the weps, but in the model of a bow/gun/crossbow

For all that are thinking we are losing stats as ranged weapons have low numbers compared to main/2handed weapons, they said they are buffing the hunter ranged weapons to give stats at the same rate of other weapons of the same ilvl.

- no more needing more Honor/Conquest than EVERY other class to get our full set of gear.
huh?
Our ranged and 2h weapons both cost 3400 each. No other class is flat-out forced to purchase such an expensive amount of gear across all their specs (I guess Warriors could count, but...)

we cant buy ranged and 2 hand weapons with conquest currently, is there any reason to presume we will be able to at some point?
so how are you coming up with that price?
...What on earth are you talking about? We're quite capable of buying it, it just sucks to get it all.

Ruthless Gladiator's Pike
,
Ruthless Gladiator's Longbow
,
Ruthless Gladiator's Rifle
and
Ruthless Gladiator's Heavy Crossbow
all require 3400 conquest points to buy. All can be bought now from the vendors.

I can only assume that with the removal of melee weapons melee abilities will go away too? Wing Clip.... I'm going to have to unlearn about 5 years of muscle memory in hunter melee range.

Unless they let us use our range weapon to attack with in melee range.
