Meanwhile Hunter is still terrible

we literally die before damp, over 300cr, those 150cr games you play ,the hunter is prob popping off tho

If your pet is dying this much, you need to manage it better. Hunter is a pet management class.

legit have a vid of like 2800 solo shuffle the pet dies like 5 times, i still 6/0 the lobby, its funny at times cuz it baits kicks, and surv can kinda still pump without pet and trap consistently

There is a massive difference between hunters in the 2600+ range and everyone else for a start:

They don’t stack/kite on top of heal while you try and heal and get their healer spam cc’d with instants and kick.

They go for CC consistently.

They present ROS early and use defensive CD’s 1000 times better. And have better awareness of the situation/positioning of their healer.

High-rated hunters are much better dampeners and the lower ones are obsessive about trying to get quick wins and don’t kite/trade well.

the class sucks

Ok, not sure why you felt the need to tell me this. The reason your pet dies so much is because of pet mismanagement. Make sure you’re using abilities like mend pet and exhilaration well.

cuz if a team decides they want to tunnel the pet, they can tunnel it and kill it every time, but you can still win without it, but the pet shouldn’t be killed so easily which is one of my main points.

Well yeah, if an entire team is dedicating resources and globals to killing your pet, why shouldn’t they kill it? What sort of trade off would that be if the pet couldn’t die?

An entire team tunneling your pet doesn’t sound like a pet is dying that easily. So which is it here, because it’s not both.

I mean with your logic, I guess hunter is just the best class ever and the pet doesn’t actually die and its in my head and I should go back to cutting my wrists and so I will, pce

I played Destro in 3’s last week and accidentally killed an SV hunters pet with cleave within the first 15 seconds of the game. Not sure if the pet is just super fragile, or it’s more an issue with Blizzards newfound infatuation with passive cleave abilities like feral, destro, unholy have. Probably a bit of both.

Also I heard mend pet dispel procs the backlash effects of UA/flame shock on the hunter which is just stupid imo.

No one is saying that. You’re ignoring the nuance of the discussion. What people are saying and what I am saying is better pet management leads to less pet deaths.

I don’t think anyone wants that, Watchoutgg.

Yeah I think were all pretty right, all that new cleave dmg, along with the pet just being super fragile in base tuning this expansion is making it hard to keep this thing alive, and in turn makes us die even easier, also we should heal our pets more, its still tough though.

Some classes are really similar like mage and hunter for example, we have the same cc like roots to prevent dmg, but ours are 2 traps while theirs is 2 frost novas, we need to be extra precise, which makes landing steel trap while pets are out actually impossible at times, also they have shields while we have feign death? We just die really easily and it seems troll at times when compared to any other class.

Its not an immune. Any dot doesnt get removed, it only acts like another wall while “deflecting” new incoming effects for its duration. I have literally died with turtle up.

No idea what you’re talking about, hunter is doing great.

is this a joke?

Imagine. It’s not like your class can’t one shot or anything. Kite better. Trap better. Stop trinketing nothing. Don’t immediately turtle when you’re low, have faith in your healers. Pet stun burst goes or just literally run laps around classes that start bursting, since that’s one of hunter’s special moves. Unless you’re not playing marksman, I actually think marksman damage needs a heavy nerf. Smh.

All 3 hunter specs are top tier in 3v3 and in solo shuffle

Just because rets have been gamebreakingly broken since 10.0.7 doesn’t actually mean hunters are bad at all. Dragonflight has been one of the strongest states for all 3 hunter specs in quite some time. This is a really bad viewpoint to have.

This is true. Might not be dillon’s biggest fan, but I’d like to say he of all people would know this is true. Instead of automatically stating hunters are bad, why don’t you just ask for gameplay tips? I’m sure people would be more than happy to help.

And this is why hunter got nerfed I guess, doesnt matter im top 20 surv in irrelevant solo shuffle, i’ll still never climb past 2100 because im just a bad player and, I should be pressing mend pet every other global instead of every 3rd global(while still being lowest dmg), also landing traps that they just immune or I wiff because there are 20 pets also standing on the target are a sign of a great class too, I seriously hate myself for maining this class and its biting me in the a$$ because theres no chance I push glad this season with it, mainly nobody wants to play with a hunter and im just getting thrown all over the place along with my pet that has less health than a totem.

Honestly man, I would try a different class if that is your perspective on hunter. It sounds like you are not having a good time.
