I agree which l made my CF-mas wish for those poor guys.

The reason why I suggested dual instead of more bow attacks is because hunters are only the supreme tank with a bow in their hands. Without a bow, they're just rangers without the ability to lag or entangle. So if you give them dual wield, you increase their potential offense without messing around with the balancing considerations that made archery such a strong defense.

As far as dual making them "grossly overpowered" I have to ask, "compared to what?". It depends on the level they get two serpent strikes and dual wield.

ETA: I meant to add that you can't parry arrows as part of the archery balancing considerations.
