Hunter main here . The only thing I would change about them is their damage resistance. Changing that will not affect it in PvE because they have cauterize. Each kill will heal them and that happens a lot faster than hungering blade. Hell it could even force them to be more strategic about using their supers. Only reason people don't want the shield changed is that they know they'll get less kills. It's a crutch and they don't want that to change. It's an offensive super. Strong in offense, weak in defense. As it is, it's low risk high reward. Just my two cents.
