Looking for class suggestion to support MM hunter

My wife and I are wanting to try out pvp for some of these rewards. She loves MM hunter and feels confident with it. What are some class/spec options that would support her well?

Thanks =)

Priest

Is that the only class that works with it? What spec?

Whichever is stronger (holy/disc) is typically pretty strong with it in 2s and the playstyle is relatively simple

Kite → land traps → fear off the traps

A lot of healers with sleep dr (rdruid/pres) work well with hunter but I think priest gives the most flexibility because one of the two healing specs is typically pretty good in 2s

Thanks for the detailed response and information. I appreciate you. One other question. If we wanted to do double dps, any thoughts there?

Rogue, feral, ret, (and maybe spriest?)

Typically these comps require a lot more skill and investment because hunter doesn’t have the best profile for double dps

Basically any 3v3 comp hunter plays and you take out the healer which means you have to win first or second trap

Perfect! Thank you so much!

My buddy and I have been enjoying lone wolf MM/Surv in 2s.

He takes intimidation as surv and I get explosive trap as MM to avoid the overlapped dr and cause I like lone wolf sniper shots lol.

With healer/DPS teams we just kite until the dampening is high enough to burst someone through heals.

Double melee DPS is usually a tough match but that’s true in general for MM.

I love your name lol. It made me laugh.

Success is going to be more on how well your wife can kite.
IMO Priest and RDruid if you want to heal would be solid.

Priest
PI and Darkarch is probably a good damage bump for the MM.
If your wife is good at kiting you can probably spam rotate MC for awhile.
You can run the enemy team into some of her traps.

Rdruid
Cyclone and Roots to help her kite
And just swap clone / damage targets.

2s seems like find a gimmic that works and ride it for as long as possible.

We are both casual baddies. We kind of just saw the transmog rewards and wanted to give it a try. We will probably end up hating it but it could be a new fun mode to get more out of the game, so we thought…eh…why not!

She’s great at binding shot, frost traps, tar traps and things like that. So I figured we would just start with “land the trap” and go from there haha.

It was the best thing I’ve seen out of the in-game name generator in so long.

It sounded so dirty without being dirty, seemed fit for a rogue. :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

That was the in game name generator??? That’s the best one i’ve ever seen too! Nice snag.

The best is to pair with a class that can also stealth and lock down either the partner or help burst down. Marksman doesn’t pair well with rot classes from what I’ve seen.

If marksman can trap someone in the open and get a solid open from stealth with sniper shot, death chakram, rapid fire, aimed into true shot aura with the pvp talent that refills focus it can delete people before a healer knows what’s up.

If someone survives the opener you need a partner who can peel really well for you.

Edit: a boomkin opening with mass entangle is good as well, especially against melee since you can save traps to kite

Eh if its just the two of you dont worry about being bad.
You will figure out something that works for you.
You dont have to worry about finding a new partner every 2 or 3 games.

Go in expecting to lose for a while at first.
Your default MMR will be to high for someone who has not done PvP but eventually you will placed with people with similar skill.

You can probably make one of the evoker specs work as well.
Looking at your PvE gear there is little incentive to farm full Honor gear if you are both 437 plus. My BM Hunter is 443 in PvE gear and all I did was swap out my most of my non tier set pieces for Honor gear with Vers/Haste or Vers/Mastery it.

Your biggest limiting factor at first will be learning the arena playstyle.
Learning not to panic, using your defensives, and positioning will keep you busy for awhile.

Rrdruid also very good paired with hunters in 2s.

Wait really? We dont need to get pvp gear? I figured we would have to start over. Shes 2 ilvls below me. Is that doable? Kinda huge info.

you will want your on use pvp trinkets obviously but Honor Gear gets bumped up to 437 ilvl and Conquest to 450.

Vers is good because it does a flat damage reduction/increase and is on all PvP pieces.
Tier is the same stat allocation and your current tier. So if you are rocking 441 tier you get the set bonus and 4ilvls and can start by filling your other slots first before burning catalysts to get tier sets

Ohhhh. Gotcha. Thanks for clarification. You rock!

Maybe you will get lucky and RNGesus will give tier in your vault.
