I’m new to playing anything other than a brain dead frost DK and I made this hunter for this xpac about 1/2 way in. All I care about is casual BG PVP. Here is my 2 cents for w/e its worth.
-
DT was fun and I assume it was only taken away due to geared players 100-0 ungeared players who don’t know how to stop rapid fire in its tracks. The burst we have now nothing compared to other classes. Honestly every class has options to stop the burst in its tracks, even other hunters. You just have to know when to use your D. Perhaps if turning on rapid fire did some actual visual players would more easily stop it.
-
Hunter has far too many buttons and I don’t even use a pet.
-
I still do good damage and can win fights but mostly I just run around BGs and try to never get spotted.
-
If anyone looks at me funny with no turtle or both heals I explode. To Warriors and Rogues I am basically free food.
-
Warriors and rogues have a lemming mentality. They will literally put their hands in a blender and run into 20 people if it means killing the hunter.
-
Most BGs I don’t try to fight if I am spotted. I just run like hell.
-
Traps, which are supposed to be used as set up or combat tricks are never used as such, they are just tools to aid running like hell.
-
I feel like a fair and balanced class in an unfair world.
Honestly this fairness is ok with me. Classes should be fair. The problem is solo marks doesn’t really have any flavor. I shoot from range and I have a chakram. That’s it. I don’t have a pet, my traps are just different flavors of run away, Really rapid fire was the only thing special we did.
I still like him though. Sniper shot is my favorite spell and going back to being able to stop things like rapid fire, my sniper shot has been dodged countless times by players. Just like it could be done with rapid fire.
