Is a hunter a good damage dealer?Follow

As a Hunter you should ALWAYS have your aspects on your primary hot bar so you can easily switch back and forth when situation dictates. You use these things so much there's absolutely no reason not to. If someone get's nailed, one click, no one else get's dazed. It's not a buff to be having up when in combat. And if your Hunter does... I'd ditch him quick. Real quick. And not only that, but if another group get's the jump on you before your hunter see's them coming... your Hunter needs to work on his observational skills.

No one, and I mean NO one, should be able to get the drop on a good Hunter. If they do he's either new to the class or AFK. Of course... he could be an idiot too. = )

rogue... even with the invisble scan. rogue will sap, and back stab you to death...

I've never seen a rogue that was understealth get passed my radar. In 30 levels (from 24 to 54) I never once saw a rogue, NE or Druid that could bypass the "Track Hidden" ability. Not one.

Or maybe you're not too sure what "get the drop" means. Maybe that's the problem.

Dun Morogh. Mangeclaw in North Pass and Timber which is located on the center island in Iceflow Lake.

: p

That doesn't count though, because that's ganking. I know it happens, and I know you should be prepared for it on a PvP server, but I think he meant while he was wanting to PvP. =P

If your PvEing, you cant be watching all sides...

I wish you can see my face right now because what you just wrote is ridiculous. I can tell just by that statement that you've never played a Hunter. When tracking is up... we don't have to look around. Stealthers become big red blips on our minimaps. No looking around is needed. And after playing a Hunter for a few levels checking your minimap regularly becomes second nature. And if you're a stealther trying to sneak up on a Hunter... this is how the process works.

Wing Clip or Scare Beast turn around Hunters Mark the rogue Aspect of Cheetah, run, passive stance your pet bye bye rogue. All of that happens before the rogue (or druid) is even 30 yards away. So good luck "sapping" or "backstabbing" or any of that other malarchy.

Bottom line... if a rogue get's the drop on a hunter it's because he's new or an idiot.

End

of

Story.

There's no arguing with this. THAT'S how it works. Unless you're a rogue running up not stealthed or the Hunter doesn't have his track hidden up... you are NOT GOING TO GET THE DROP ON HIM.

You missed the point that I wasnt stealthed untill I was right up near you..

And you missed the point where I said this:



Pay attention next time. Kthxbye ; )

Again, I can tell you've never played the class. That's not how tracking works. When you find out how it does come back and continue the conversation.

; )

This is funny heh. He was making a point on how you cant have more than one tracking up at the time...and you disagreed with him.

Okay, has anyone ever TRIED to run up to someone, then stealth sudden like so they cannot see you?

Right....Here is the deal, most likely if the hunter cannot see you visually, you cannot see him, unless you are very lucky and just happen to run up to him from far away and behind.

Now, lets say you are that lucky. You see a Hunter from a good distance off, and you attempt to run up close and then stealth. Provided you are not seen as you run up to him by him or anyone else, and you pop into stealth mode, he will see you on his mini-map...unless of course he has already seen you on his Track Humanoid mini-map. (Frankly in a PVP setting, I keep that one up more often than Track Hidden, most times you can find people on that before they are even in visual range).

But let's say somehow you manage to run up behind him and drop into stealth, all he has to do is walk away.....Even with full points into deception, there is no way you can keep up with anyone while in stealth mode.

Now I can see this happening....you can do this "run up and sneak/sap them" if the hunter is...AFK....

Yeah? Where? Show me where? You show me where I disagreed with that standpoint and I'll eat my shoe right here. See what I recall him writing down was this:



Last I checked I never referred to ANY OTHER TRACKING BEING UP. Not once. Last I checked Druids can only mobile STEALTH while in Cat form and I wouldn't need beast tracking up in order to catch 'em. And let's not mention that even while in cat/bear form a druid still reads off as a Humanoid on tracking. Yeah, we won't even mention THAT one.

When I, or any sensible Hunter, am in enemy territory/contested zones I have but ONE tracking up and that's Track Hidden with an occassional momentary swap out for humanoids. That's it. There's no serious point in having beast tracking up unless you're trying to track down a specific type of beast nor is there a serious reason to keep humanoid tracking up because when you look around a person running along the landscape tends to stick out. Even in zones like Duskwood. Those BIG RED LETTERS kind of stick out you know?

I never ONCE mentioned anything about having multitudes of tracking up. Not ONCE.

So I suggest you either a.) Know how the class works before knocking it or b.) pay attention to posts before commenting ignorantly. That's enough for you. Have a nice day, come back when you can compete. Buh bye...



I never said that. PAY ATTENTION or learn the English language in a bit more depth. Mmmmmkay? What I said was, and I quote:



Pay attention. I know I'm offending your delicate feminine sensibilities by stating that your precious rogue class isn't all powerful and "pwns" all but try to keep a grip in reality alright?



For 30 levels... not once. Not in PvP.



I never said that. Not once. Again, pay attention or stop lying, one of the two. In fact I do recall stating the exact opposite. Oh, but I guess you missed that part huh? Oh well... lol

if a hunter can see you far away no chance ahunter should lose, even if up clost too. imho only hunter really gives a hunter problems in solo pvp. Other then that wing clip whe up close after a raptor strike concussion shot aspect of the cheetah. after lvel 10 hunter is a prety damn duelist.


Example my tauren hunter get hit up for a duel person starts next to me my pet already on agressive before the start. Then as the match begins wing clip pure and simple. run a bit and use shots at range to keep him slowed.

Now i am not saying hunter are gods at pvp, the one thing i like about WOW is taht it is a rock paper shoot kind of thing. where a hunter's drawbaks to me is being slowed itsself are being unable to move.

Other then that after level 10 i think it is a pretty solid PvP class and overall good dps class too

P.S use Bows as soon as possible
