Hardcore Makes WoW Classic's Systems Important

Hunters in Classic are emblematic of this different design philosophy for mechanics. Preparation and management are key aspects of the class, which are further enhanced by Hardcore's higher stakes. If your pet is treated poorly, its loyalty can waver. Ammo is used with every attack, which can be dire if depleted. Ranged attacks also feature a deadzone, barring their use at close range. Careful preparation is required, and in Hardcore, can quickly cause a fatal encounter if not accounted for. These systems are no longer a check list of tasks in Hardcore, but must be treated with care and attention.
