"Hunter Survivability" Myth

PVP Arenas
1

What is this myth about hunters being tanky now? We get a little passive shield that absords 1 auto attack and now out of the sudden hunters are too tanky? What am I missing? :confused:

2

Maybe the BM/SV tree that has the additional healing everytime we use SotF or Turtle.

Iz pretty gud.

Yeah but if you play that tree you miss out on the cool class fantasy of Sentinel

I’ll pass on the hogwarts owls.

(though it does look like more people are playing sentinel…)

5

it’s the dark ranger smoke screen talent which makes us very tanky

playing sentinel in pvp is troll

The Surv hunters are talking, the kids table is over there —>

Hrm. They’re pretty comparable, though den looks a bit better to me. That said, I haven’t’ tried the sentinel build yet, so curious how that will be.

I see you’re a packleader enjoyer as well. Idk i don’t care for sentinel packleader feels better to me and more consistent not to mention more survivability.

Yea, I prefer the on use heals right now and I feel like I have a tad more control of my damage. Also, the timing with how sentinel works with coordinated assaults, just not sure how that will line up yet. Am I going that route to just maximize outputs overtime… or is it lining up with goes with trap?

Lunar storm does look nice for the 10% increased damage, but how consistent is that going to be? Also, overwatch seems like it could be OP, but maybe that’s comparable to cull the herd. :thinking: Have a lot still to figure out.

Can’t speak for anything but SV, but for SV it’s extremely consistent. The sentinel itself does a LOT of damage, and with it resetting assault cd per tick its pretty nutty

Oh boy it’s the arena forums where we pretend there’s zero externals factors in balancing . Man hunter is so squishy like it doesn’t play Cupid with freedom master call one minute sac two healer trinkets (sanc) 1 min sac and the ability to do all of its damage strafing anyone into a bad position the entire game.

Yeah, but someone died as a hunter to a fury war in pvp so obviously hunter needs buffs.

You guys are coping hard in here about Hunter lmao. Hunter is still the easiest kill you’ll get in comparison to the other specs :rofl:

15

i think youre undervaluing the sustain healing its giving you lmao. getting passive burst healing on defensive is pretty insane

You’re going to get the spray bottle if you keep acting like this

There is not shot ppl are saying hunter is “squishy” right now. It feels just like every other spec in the game currently, aside from enhance maybe, a tank.

Also, we play Sentinel as survival right now. Packleader does zero damage, after the mid patch that may change with the notes that came out yesterday.

People honestly are mad about mm but I feel the defensives fine in survivals case as a melee.

19

MM has the exact same defensives - disarm +full range. Hunters feel REALLY good in that department.

Do we say same thing to dks whining about dying to physical dmg while playing with a war? I agree it’s weird that a hunter screaming they are squish right now but if we want to go this route then can anyone really complain about anything?

Oh I know I meant the new defensive love they have hunters in general may be too much as mm since they’re ranged completely but as survival it felt needed.

God help us when the bm rework comes out I bet it’ll be disgusting again. Every thing they “rework” is broken it seems lol.
