Hunters dominating BGs

Getting tired of being run down by multiple hunters using rapid fire to insta kill me while I am in full pvp gear.

First game I noticed it they had 40KB each 0Death.
It happened all weekend. Premade hunter groups. You can see they’re all from the same server.
I quit playing bgs all weekend. I just tried one this evening and I got about 5 minutes into a Twin Peaks and I looked at the leaderboards, Duo Hunters from the same server using the rapid fire focus with 20KB and 1 Death. Literally 5 minutes into the game. I quit. I won’t be playing BGs until this is fixed.

They are ruining bgs right now, but doubletap is gone so 2 will have to focus you to instagib. Unless they are a premade they wont be coordinating like that and premades will usually roll anyways regardless of spec.

glad double tap is gone and honestly if youre getting focused by 2 dps classes, you should die anyway.

This sounds more like a premade issue than a hunter issue. I haven’t been in a single BG at level 70 where I would say hunters dominated. It’s always melee or the top tier casters like shadow or non destro locks. That’s not to say I haven’t seen marks hunters doing good damage or good burst, but rarely do I have encounters with them where I notice their damage.

Now if we’re talking pre 70 BGs, yes hunters are a menace.

I see them topping charts, but I never feel oppressed by them on my priest. Outside of Aimed shot and rapid fire they don’t have much oomf to them. It doesn’t help that 90% of the hunters out there are incredibly predictable, so it’s easy to mitigate the incoming damage.

I switched to BM this expac and I am just destroying MM hunters left and right. I think that the FOTM hunters will switch over to DH after losing double tap. Many of them can’t figure out what to do outside of a gimmicky playstyle.

MM is laaaame where my Survival bros at.

It’s MM specifically… They are starting to multiply in BGs. I have been 100-0 in a few seconds by an MM hunter while wearing full 411 plus a couple Epic PvP pieces w/ full enchants… Just dumpster inside of a trap.

I’m not a fan of the current PvP balance as a whole… I have never liked being killed before I can hit a button and likely never will, can’t imagine anyone really does.

I realize they are concerned about drawn out fights in arena but ruining all other PvP for it isn’t a good trade off.

I still haven’t encountered problematic hunters in bgs yet. Havent seen one near top of charts at all either

Well playing a single game a week that tends to happen.

/high-five

I play way more than that though :thinking:

Hunters also might (probably) be the easiest class in the game to tunnel and kill. Maybe don’t let them free cast on you.

Damage I can understand, with SP and Locks being pretty common.
But that ranged Hunter execute? KBs? Very odd.
Horde at night during the week has seen better days for sure, maybe your team focuses them correctly in those 10 player BGS?

You joking? Ever hear of an ele sham?

I’m going to say that there’s nothing that needs to be fixed. Try again another time and you’ll most likely get different results. Maybe not. It’s a mystery.

You must not play a lot of eBGs. Hunters and melee for the most part. Hopefully at least the hunter portion will be lower going forward.

Just send someone with gap closers at them. MM hunter, like many casters, is a spec you don’t allow to freecast. I play SV hunter and it’s incredibly fun hooking to them and killing them before they can pop turtle since you know hunters have absolutely no defensives worth mentioning.

crying and hoping for a defensive buff so i can play rated without surrendering to the meta specs.
