Why is it hunters who we always hear doing this anyway? Warriors can equip even more than they can yet I don't hear of them having any problems.
Two reasons:
1) Hunter ignorance of what makes their toon better. Some roll on items with proc's (Doomsaw), some roll on leather with agility (Albino Croc Boots), some roll on Int items ignoring the AP they'd give up from their current gear.
2) People that don't have Hunters don't understand what comprises useful attributes/items for a Hunter. Oftentimes, especially in higher level instances, people will say "Hunters get ranged drops, melee's get melee drops". This is ignorant. There are exactly 3 viable ranged drops in all of BRS, all of Stratholme, Scholomance, BRD, and Dire Maul combined. They fall from Cannonmaster Wiley, one of the downstairs bosses on Gandling's room in Scholo, and off the spider boss in undead Strath. So if you're in UBRS and someone says that, they are saying, "you get nothing, you might as well not be here". The ranged weapon they hold is minor in comparison to the other 16 item slots when comprising damage figures. An Epic Dwarven Hand Cannon is only marginally better than relatively common drops from the bosses listed above, but people don't get that. The real meat of Hunter dps comes from
the rest of their gear.
