The removal of damage from pounce, imo, was dumb. WL's have to now wait for 2 skills to activate in order to dismount someone. This was balanced against a class that has access to bows losing theirs too. The issue with that should be obvious. Bows outrange pounce and Axe Toss. A squig hopper can dismount someone without ever putting themselves in jeopardy. To effectively run someone down now, a WL has to pounce, Axe Toss, Charge then start attacking. That's 4 skills going off before they can effectively start dealing damage. Meanwhile a SH can just shoot a bow. Please quit treating these classes like they should be balanced against one another when one is designed to be a ranged DPS and the other is meant to be up in someone's face.
Additionally, Pounce is a hunter ability, and losing that damage tick, hurts their Invader skill set, and removes one more damage tick that typically would be buffed by Flanking. WL's are hunters by nature and should be able to run people down in open field with brutal efficiency. When you take away a damaging ability you make the class go from DPS to dPS. It might suck to get run down like that but I would say that you shouldn't turn your back on someone stalking you.
