Agreed, the increase is somewhere around 40-50% for most things (the hit scope only increases by 33.3% though), however they have made no leg patches that are that horrible. I mean one class can effectively use scopes, yet that class shouldn't use one of them. Silly, no?

Its a nice perk and sets the precedent for newer ones of these as the endgame progresses and other stats start producing more dps.

You are comparing what is essentially a lvl 60 enchant (as it was a top end enchant back then) to a lvl 80. Yes, it better be better. The thing we don't know if is this has a minumum range and/or cast time. In case of the first melee can't use it well in raids. In case of the second neither melee nor ranged would like it.

What is near then? 20 yards? 30 yards? 40 yards? 40 yards would make this trinket proc for melee in situations where it would be wasted more or less. Same with 30. Imagine using it in an Arena or BG, sneaking around combat to get to some tasty healer and the trinket procs and runs out before you get there, it is after all only 10 seconds. And eventhough Hunters could use such a proc mechanic better even they wouldn't like it to proc when they aren't actually interested in it. The only 'safe' way is to make it proc when you are in melee. I'm assuming that Blizzard understands that.

Well the current epic is a tanking gun. There are quest blues that are better for DPS than it for Hunters, it is pretty good for BGs though, but who gears for BGs? So it is far from an impossible situation that this could happen again. There was plenty time to add some higher recipies for guns, but it didn't happen.
