    Hunter or Ret Pala for raiding in Cata

    Hey, i'm wondering what you think would be better, i'm considering making my hunter my main and leaving my pala to decay... is the gameplay more fun (or be more fun)? i'm kinda sick of the pala rotation and its quite boring but i dont know if im replacing one boring class with another, advice appreciated

    Do what you want to do.
    You can tell WoW changed the MMO for good when players started complaining about the amount of time they sink, into a time sink.

    Yeah I am having the same question but first before I make my decision I want to see what Blizzard does with the Focus system for Hunters and if its too broken I'll just raid with my Pally.

    Hunter because its ranged..
    And Blizz hates melee in PvE.

    Uhm bloodqueen is easy for too. There really are no ranged friendly fighta in icc. There's melee friendly and equal fights. I'm having terouble picking a main as well. Its hard though because I have 8 80s anda 75...my poor warrior will never get anywhere

    Most of the time its Ranged that have to "switch targets" to kill adds because melee are more effective for sustained DPS. And really how many times do you have to dodge shit like Malleable Goo/Vile Gas/Orbs/Kite Blistering Zombies, ect? Hell you guys would get to stay on Sindergosa if not for the Chilled to the bone effect.

    Every time i see someone say that range "got it easy" i ask them to name all the fights that range have a significant advantage over melee. Then name all the fights that melee have a significant advantage over ranged. Then remove the ones were it is about equal, So far i have never had anyone list more range friendly fights.

    Bad melee will be even worse at ranged since being at ranged you have to account for positioning of healers and move accordingly.

    Melee and Ranged together make up a team, we all face the same challanges as a group, as one.

    "Which class should I roll?" is a frequently reoccurring thread.

    There is no real discussion to be had about which class any individual should play. This is a very personal decision and all anyone can really do is post their personal favourites over and over again.

    If you wish to find out more information about specific classes, feel free to browse our Class Forums. You can also try to use the forum's search function if you have a specific question about a class.

    Other examples of pointless threads include, but are not limited to:

    * Which race should I roll?
    * Which faction is better for me?
    * Which is the best PvE/PvP/... realm?
    * Looking for RAF partner
