Any chance Hunters could get the 5.5 speed crafted bow that Rangers and Scouts both get?

Their range could still be 2000 units which is 100 units less than Rangers and 200 units less than Scouts, but the slower speed would help their bow damage against Scouts and Ranger bow damage (it might even lead to a few Hunters being played).

The shorter range and faster bows is what balanced Hunters against Scouts and Rangers in the first place. When EA/Mythic gave Hunters the same range and speed as Scouts/Rangers it gave Hunters the edge that led to their utter dominance in the ranged game that continues on the live server to this day.

I'm not asking for the same range as Scouts and Rangers, only the same bow speed via crafting.

Which would also unbalance Hunters when combined with the dog. The dog allows a Hunter to control a ranged fight better than Scouts and Hunters and allowing them to get that crucial critshot at high damage would tilt the balance far too much in their favour against a good many classes. Mythic may have made a lot of balance mistakes but Hunter bow speed and range wasn't one of them.

Spear does good dmg. Dog is good for interrupts. There is a buff line.

I played scout ranger and hunter here. I think hunter is ok.
