Hunter's Pounce Cap

**Smokey Amp** · 03-04-09, 03:05 AM

I don't think the hunter's pounce should be capped at 25. I mean, let's face it, if you can actually pull off a pounce worth more than 25, I think you deserve it.

They should maybe cap it at 50 or not at all, since a flaming hunter can take that much health from a survivor in a couple of seconds anyway...

What's the general consensus?

Agree however I would drop the max to around 30 or 40... 50 seems really harsh.

I think you'd have to be frickin' map hacking to get a 50 though, right?

The new patch has made Hunter pounce damage higher anyway, I'm getting 25s frequently now, from places I would never imagine getting 25s.

cap it at 45.

Fire hunter + that = instakill!

Nope there are some really high hunter spots. Some of them have little messages written on the walls by valve that say stuff like "Hi hunter"

My favourite is bh2 after the door cresendo , when they exit the main wharehouse onto the roof before the rail tracks.

You can climb very high onto a chimey stack its about 3 times the height needed for a 25 damage pounce and would probaly give 60-75 if the cap was removed.

Its just very hard to land high pounces. Survivors can move upto 100 ft in the time it takes from when u pounce to when you land.

No chance! it will give it away. Find it yourself

I dont think there should be a cap, if you can land that big a punce then only getting a 25 is pointless

There should not be a cap at all. Given the distance it takes to land a 25, it would be unlikely to see many 40-50s, but maybe they could be doable. The preciseness of the pounce would warrant that kind of reward though.

In addition, pounce chains should be rewarded. Bounding quickly from building to building or tree to tree in an elaborate chain of jumps should be rewarded with an increase in damage, probably one of the few ways you could get some of those higher numbers. In BH, I've done a few (only a few) fancy jumps like that, bounding back and forth between the trees and then landing on someone, thinking I should have been rewarded for that fancy feat.
