Hunters in Blizzard's World of Warcraft finally have a reason to celebrate, Game Designer Tom Chilton (Kalgan) gave word that they plan on eliminating the deadzone that players have been complaining about.

For those unfamiliar with the deadzone, it is the range at which characters can no longer use their ranged weapons. Chilton said that they're planning on shrinking the minimum range hunters can use their guns, bows, or crossbows. He added that the main goal of the deadzone was that players wouldn't be able to use the aforementioned weapons in Melee combat and not to make the hunters weaker as some players are inclined to believe.

Hunters are getting a lot of love from Blizzard, the shrinking of the deadzone and the new weapons the class will be getting looks like a recipe for pwnage if this blogger ever saw one. Hey, Vaneras did hint at a Hunter revamp in Wrath of the Lich King right?
