Why is it that only hunters can really benefit from ranged weapons?(wands not included) guns and bows are for hunters only, and they can use almost everything else to. If a new class is gonna be introduced to wow i think it should be a class that can use bows and guns, maybe a dark ranger like Sylvannas. Or a class that has 2 of its talent trees a DPS, one being for melee the other for ranged

The Dark Ranger is pretty much Hunter already, so that's a no. But I like the melee DPS/ranged DPS/healer? class.
As to why only hunters really benefit...it baffles me. But if you think, melee weapons for hunters are the stat sticks the ranged weapons are for most of the other classes. A warrior carries a gun only because it gives stats. Not because of the opportunity to use Shoot 5 times during the Heigan dance...

Rogues and warriors use ranged weapons, primarily for pulling and for the stats they provide though.
Edit: wow, double beaten :( WTB

No... Calling a dark ranger a hunter is like calling a Death knight a Paladin. Sure they're both Plate wearing tanks, but the similarities end there. A
Hunter
uses aspects of nature and animalistic abilities as its focal point, where a
Dark Ranger
uses shadow magic, Mind altering attacks, and stealth. Dark ranger are also much more capable at Melee combat then Hunter are.

Hmm... I was coming from the WC3 concept of Dark Rangers.
Black Arrow -->
Silence -->
Charm and Life Drain beat me though.
I agree, they are similar, but not yet the same.

Well then what would be the point in ever playing a hunter again if the 'dark ranger' has the same idea as hunter, AND it can melee.
Seems like you'd be totally ditching the hunter.

Melee weapons are about as useful to a Hunter as ranged weapons are to other classes... They are stat sticks, and that's about it. Even if you were to spec as much into melee as possible as a Hunter you would still be light years behind a real melee DPS class. The answer is as simple, the Hunter is the only viable physical ranged DPS class in the game, so they benefit most from ranged weapons...
