@ all you tanks

Hey buddies.

You have gotten used to pulling the mobs haven’t you? You get mad when dps pull for you, don’t you? You have chanted mantras like “you tank it you spank it”

Well guess what buddy? Hunters are back to pulling in classic. We are in charge now. Take a seat and enjoy the ride.

Don’t worry I’m used to bad players.

I played warrior in Vanilla.

Will continue to tank, and continue make up for bad dps’s mistakes.

It’s kind of like being a dad. You get satisfaction out of being there for the little guys when they mess up.

I remember when our dungeon group wiped, I think in SFK. But the hunter feigned death, got back up and rezzed the priest. I couldn’t believe it, I thought the guy was hacking or something.

Engineer master race.

That’s nothing. Did you know an engineering hunter could battle res in vanilla? Feign death removed combat even in boss fights. You could feign and jumper cable someone.

A hunter pull is the way to go. If the tank is competent, he or she will have no trouble picking up the mobs.

If the dps pulling starts deciding when and what to pull, then that becomes a problem. If the tank asks the hunter to pull, fine.

The tank decides when to move forward, which won’t happen until the healer is ready. The dps doesn’t know any of that, and will just want to move forward as quickly as possible. That’s a problem.

I’ll go one step further and tell you straight up that Hunters are not needed at all in any PvE activity save for a few tranquilizing shots which we can Shield Wall through.

Also, tanks are generally the party leaders, so feel free to kick huntees like OP or not even invite them :joy:

It isn’t hunter pulling that concerns me… It is aggressive pet, and pet that runs through walls an aggro’s half the dungeon.

Kiting Drakk?

Oh man, one of those hunters.

Hunters pull in Raids, or carefully in 5-mans. Other than that, the tank is still charging.

You realise that’s the cheese method right? As in you can actually do UBRS without a hunter by actually fighting Drakk.

I don’t remember Misdirect in classic so… you wait for sunders like everyone else.

Protecting others is in my blood. Even if a noob or DPS try-hard pulls aggro I’ll do my best to save their azz.
Do it too many times though, and I’m gonna use some words.

I recall mages being asked to sheep pulla lot more than hunters being asked to pull.

May use DPS to make a pull, but if they aren’t doing it when the Tank is ready for it, or when the Healer gives them the OK, then DPS has to pay for the repair bills, and forfeits loot.

Pretty much this.

OP is clearly looking for a reaction, but all they’re doing is reminding everyone to build their blacklists early… or maybe ‘grey’ lists, since sometimes people aren’t evil, just a bit bad.
