So, you’re now admitting to being both hilarious and sad?

Progress!

Kindwolf-emerald-dream · June 20, 2019, 12:12pm

No but apparently you and the troll below you do.

Lmao I’ve apparently triggered these trolls so much they keep following me around…now that’s sad.

How did you two trolls enjoy the test? O that’s right you don’t have subs…
Thanks for the daily laughs.

Twiinkedd-moon-guard · June 20, 2019, 2:20pm

LOL, so you we embarrassed you so many times you switched to a new alt. Yep, both sad and hilarious. I’m flattered I mean so much to you that you’ve taken to stalking me.

Kindwolf-emerald-dream · June 20, 2019, 3:16pm

Umm…I have only posted on my Hunter recently. No idea what you’re on about.

I do see you trolling other threads, so I can’t help but reply, you’re a funny troll, and good for lols.

Twiinkedd-moon-guard · June 20, 2019, 3:30pm

Uh huh.

Tarregor-dalaran · June 20, 2019, 3:36pm

if you stack spell damage gear and procs, then melee hunter should work; that guy would’ve done a LOT better if he was wearing caster gear to synergize with his proc trinkets and fiery weapon enchants and thunderfury proc
otherwise, it’ll be garbage except against most hunters

Interesting fact, healing/spell gear had a huge impact on mend pet, which worked very quickly as it was. You could literally have your pet tank insanely powerful mobs with a mend pet spell hunter, and still do “some” measure of ranged damage.

A resto Druid autoattacking and spamming moonfire is far more dangerous than a melee hunter.

Couve-blackrock · June 20, 2019, 7:37pm

Only if you are Tauren. Tauren hit boxes paired along with how ridiculous melee leeway is currently, you’ll be a melee hunter god

Kindwolf-emerald-dream · June 20, 2019, 7:39pm

Don’t man cows have huge hotboxes? Why would that be better?

Couve-blackrock · June 20, 2019, 7:41pm

Hit and won’t get hit back, pretty simple!

Mickymoo-black-dragonflight · June 20, 2019, 7:47pm

Uh yes you would. Your hitbox means others can hit you further out as well.

It works both ways.

Bayel-area-52 · June 20, 2019, 9:48pm

What follow? You’re in a lot of classic threads whining about classic. It’s hard to escape your mewling.

Kindwolf-emerald-dream · June 20, 2019, 10:15pm

What follow?!? Don’t have any idea what you’re on about.
You are a funny troll though, please continue replying and complaining about how I somehow triggered you.

Boomsky-moonrunner · June 20, 2019, 10:23pm

OP is a troll that’s calling anyone telling him that melee hunter is a terrible idea “elitist trash”. Just don’t give him attention and he’ll go away.

Sinay-darkspear · June 20, 2019, 10:39pm

Maybe if this was patch 1.1.2.

Pintero-moon-guard · June 20, 2019, 10:45pm

Hey everyone, since this topic seems to be picking up steam, again i figured i’d give it the same answer i did back in… Jan, as to why / how blizzard ACTUALLY did design Survival to be a melee spec.

Survival Hunter

Survival WAS A MEELE SPEC! The problem was players where never good enough to master it so blizzard was forced to change it into something more mainstream. For example. What do you get at level one a BOW and a MEELE weapon. The first thing you learn about playing a hunter is shoot your bow then let the mob run up to you and attack it, then it dies.

Blizzard goes further into detail about this even in media, Rexxar who is one of the first hunters in warcraft lore uses meele weapons, and never ranged besides one skill, so uh hello? Are you telling me that the Champion hero of the Horde is playing his class wrong? Seriously Orc Batman, what a joke.

Hunter pet’s are all meele as well, this further explains that blizzard wants you in meele range, because how can you control your tools if you’re too far away to use them. also you can’t even shoot traps from far away, so it’s obvious blizzard wanted you to be close enough to use traps… Guess where traps are in meele range!

Now we can also dig up old files and Hunters where suppose to be able to use shields, obviously they where expecting to be hurt more this also explains why they can use mail! Not only that, but the reward for this playstyle at the end meele spec tree was a ability to watch your foes bleed to death as they run away in fear. NOT encourage you to shoot them down!

This also explains the dead zone, Blizzard obviously gave hunters a dead-zone because they wanted hunters to stop shooting there bows and guns, and start meele attacking them. That’s why aspect of the cheetah daze’s you on strike, you’re suppose to be fighting in meele range and swap to + dodge %.

Hunters also have a lot of freedom with there weapon style, in the form of duel wield two handed. Everything BUT mace’s and wands!

Also, another thing. Is that Players have used aspecet of the cheetah in the wrong way. You’re SUPPOSE to use it as a charge, when you’re fighting a mage the first thing you want to do is get close to them so they’re scared and blink away, if a troll hunter with a big axe ran up to a human mage it’s obvious they wouldn’t know what to do, as explained by WoW Lore, it also explains that aspect of the pack is meant to be a form a banzai charges, I.E the spec of survival hunter is used in a form of irony.

Thought’s questions onto this?

Bayel-area-52 · June 20, 2019, 11:25pm

You also say that you have no idea quite often… Which fits you perfectly.

It’s always funny when people pretend to have no clue because acknowledging that they do understand actually makes them look even worse.

Bricklethumb-anvilmar · June 20, 2019, 11:28pm

This is my first 60 IN classic.

Notice my class. ya know just in case.

I loved dual wielding big ol axes back in the day.

But when I had to get into melee this is often the thing I heard and thought.

Kindwolf-emerald-dream · June 20, 2019, 11:33pm

Or, you’re just talking non sense as usual.
