早先暴雪曾说过要加强猎人在竞技场的尴尬地位，今天暴雪论坛管理员Kalgan公布的一些职业变动里，强调了猎人的修改：
2.3 will be up on the PTR for quite some time. Several classes are likely to get more changes before 2.3 goes live, it's just a question of which changes (ie: we're still considering the mortal strike effect for aimed shot for hunters, among other possibilities).
许多职业将有很多改动，问题是哪一个职业。（我们考虑在猎人的精准射击加入致死打击的效果，或者是其他可能的效果）
We're planning to shrink the min range on ranged attacks to reduce or eliminate the "dead zone". The only point to the dead zone was to ensure the min range on ranged weapons was enough such that ranged weapon attacks wouldn't be used while also being melee'd (at least by mobs... players have a bit of slush built in).
我们计划缩小远程攻击的最小距离，以便减小甚至取消远程的“死亡区”。设置死亡区的初衷仅仅是为了区分远程攻击和近战攻击的界限。
