Why cant hunters use Detterence

[Rammstein]

Why can hunters not use Detterence when carrying the flag in CTF? its all we got. besides disengage, and that doesnt always work the way you want it to.

[NotValidAnymore]

Because it makes you immune to stuff.

Seriously though, just be glad you can still use Disengage.

[OtisJay]

most likey the same reason a pally can't super bubble with the flag

Considering it lasts only 5 seconds and doesn't actually make you immune to damage (dots still tick), I think it's a reasonable complaint...

It is a fairly reasonable complaint but bubble does only last 8 seconds, too, that's only 3 more seconds than deterrance and I doubt a hunter would use it at such low HP that dot ticks would kill him before he gets at least one heal (in a random, sure, if we're talking RBGs then I'm pretty sure my statement is accurate).

Then again, who in their right mind would use a hunter as FC in a Rated Battleground. I would have no problem with them being able to use it, at least. There's no reason to.

[Krunsh]

also anything in- air will hit.

[Rammstein]

Rogues can still cloak with the flag, warriors can use shield wall, etc. while carrying the flag

The mobility of a hunter could make them viable as a FC if they were able to actually use deterrence.

as long as we can get a full deter, and afull masters call. if masters call gets dispelled we are useless.

[Rammstein]

also, most the time in places like TP you are running up hill so...disengage doesnt really help either

[Alvito]

DKs can use AMS which makes them magic imune so this is a legit complaint. While detterence makes them immune to incoming dmg anything already on them keeps working, dots, slows whatever and is only up briefly.

5 seconds immunity can be the difference in half your team spawning at the gy reaching you or not, no other char has total immunity to fresh incoming dmg while carrying, welcome to the club

[Rammstein]

Dot dmg still ticks. so its not complete immunity

[dracco4heads]

Dot dmg still ticks. so its not complete immunity

This, we are also still slowed if it was applied b4, we can still be hit by aoes (frost nova, blizzard, destro warlock stun, warrior or warlock aoe fear)

Considering SHPriests can wisp form with the flag you've got a right to QQ, but they're more the exception than the norm. most classes can't use their main defense abilities while holding the flag.

Big difference there is dispersion reduces dmg taken it doesnt make you immune to it.

its practically the same thing when 10k+ hits are hitting for 300's to 500's...Priests rarely die in dispersion.

Can't people understand how it works, it doesn't make you immune to damage.

[Abandon]

It also doesn't make you immune to anything other than snares. You can still be stunned, feared, sheeped, Death Gripped, ect. And it prevents the Priest from doing anything other than moving.

[Bblubbs]

It would be a good change to allow this--

Hunters would not be made primary FC but it could allow the potential for some more strategic maneuvers for a hunter grabbing a flag for a bit in an RBG setting.
