A little background information: About a week ago, I saw a thread on the mage forums about the preferred rotation in vanilla and TBC. A few days later, I created a similar thread about warlocks, and a few days ago, about rogues. both threads gave me quite a bit of insight into the history and legacy of this game, and how the game evolved since then.
I don't do this for nostalgic reasons, or for research, but merely out of curiosity. I never played in vanilla, and only about half a year in TBC, and while my second char ever was a hunter, I was quite a noob back then.
so, how did hunters perform best? what was the optimal spec? what was pet management like in those days? any special weirdness which caused much hilarity?
