Lower damage needed to get full reward from A and S ranks

you can barely get full reward from A ranks, S ranks finally started to spawn and its a complete mess even with being in full 8 man group you cant dish out enough damage most of the time to get full reward could they lower the amount of damage you need to do so it would be easier to get full reward or increase the overall hp of all A and S rank hunts

Or don't hunt.

Rewards you get from hunts aren't based on damage you do necessarily, it's based on group enmity you get from the target before it dies. This is why you see groups really preferring to have tank/healer classes moreso than DPS classes in a party. So lowering damage won't necessarily help there. Reducing enmity necessary for rewards would though.

But really, the main thing that should be done with the mobs themselves is that they should consider raising mob HP since everyone generally is more geared up now so they don't die in less than 20 seconds lol

5 tanks + 3 Healers = best Hunt group

It's true it should be changed. It's an unfair advantage towards those who generate more enmity. Enmity shouldn't be the only contributing factor.

It isn't necessarily the fault of the mob's HP pool that it dies so fast. It's relative to the high volume of players who have jumped back into hunting. Prior to the World of Darkness patch, hunts were very casual and only became really busy when it came to S Ranks. Since there are new shinies available to both non-raiding players and already raiding players, everyone is now seeking those hunts for their next Carbontwine or Carboncoat.

Once everyone gets their items again, fewer people will start hunting again, and the HP pools they currently have will make the feel beyond bulky.

Also (correct me if I'm wrong), I do believe hunts scale based of off the amount of players nearby it, correct? Just like how Fates work... I think. *scratches head*

Infact, I don't think they ever changed the hunt mark's hp from 2.3. You have players in 2.4-2.5 gear (at least a ilvl 10+ difference) killing 2.3 mobs which reward allied seals for 2.5 BiS items.

Among other things, there's still the reoccuring issue of hunt marks rendering on player screens (even for PS4 players) when that's not so much the case for odin and behemoth (when they were popular back then anyway...) Part of the reasons why I dislike the implementation of hunts so much.
