Awesome - thanks so much!
Awesome - thanks so much!
Belive it or not, I have a great chance to beat Hunters on my Elemental Shaman. It's a long fight and i need to heal myself a lot, i mean realy a lot, but usualy i win or it is very close ... A good BM ones can make me the most troubles ... I can also kill them on my Disc priest and Holy Paladin after 5 + minutes fight, if we can add healers in that list:P
Warlocks of all specs dominate Hunters pretty badly.
So do high burst hybrids (Elemental/Feral/Balance). Ret and Enhance can beat them if they get lucky crits on their healing, but outside of that typically not (although a well-timed wings can kill a Hunter between 2 hammers). Shadow Priests were problematic at one point, but both their healing and damage has been lowered enough that a good Hunter can burst through it...just don't get caught in that fear bomb.
Unholy Death Knights can train them pretty badly also (Chillblains is rough on them).
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutesOr should I?
Not going to call you a liar or anything but the fact you have to heal yourself alot just says OOM to me as a ele shammy not to mention Healing Surge probably heals you fore more or less than same as 1 of the many free arcane instant shot spam a hunter has at their disposal during the fight. i.e your HS cast can't keep up with the incomming damage.
I agree a Ele shammy when pops everything can get a hunter mildy worried and forces them to pop detterence however with all the stuns, silence and insane damage they do with little to no real effort its a fight where hunter should win nearly every time.
I used to play hunter for 3 years and gave it up since with the removal of minimum range, no aspect dance and sick damage the class is dead in terms of requiring any skill to play, it's faceroll and many decent hunters out there would probably agree, there's very little to seperate a good hunter with a poor one because the class is massively compensated for ease of play.
That said there are plenty of insane dmg classes at the moment just some are very easy to lock down and have real weaknesses whereas Hunters have the best mobility dps in the game which in PvP is very rewarding for them.
Not a moan about OP or w/e but would love to see Hunters have minimum range re-introduced.
^ against an MM hunter that is arena specced, an elemental shaman has the advantage if not in arena/rbg (since, when unaffected by battle fatigue a healing surge heals for 80k and crits for 160k). That said, if the hunter is using PvE talents (Fervor and A Murder of Crows), then he can rather easily out damage the heals.
So I decided to join the Hunters FotM club (I posted this thread) and I am amazed!
I speedgeared my hunter (who was 90 for a year but I never geared for anything) and got full tyr pvp gear + 522 weapon now and I absolutely destroy people!
Even compared to my fully 522 geared warrior this Hunter is absoultely amazing. So much CC and the damage is great.
I now also see that we, as pvp players, ar elucky that so many hunters backpaddle because I am rather good at kiting and people just cant touch me.
I'm sure Hunters will get the bat in S15, but for now: if you cant beat them, join them applies >.<
What about Warriors? Why no one has mentioned them? They are op as hell, lol. But obviously not against Hunters?
ahahahahahhahahaha what are you smoking fool?? Lets set up a smash right now. Chuck on your pvp gear and I'll give you 5k on the spot if you can drop my dk below 80% before I spark you. Absolutly no fkin chance rofl. Don't confuse a backpeddling moron for people who know how to play. I've been embarrassing people on my blood since early cata and I will demoralize you I garuntee you of that. There is only 1 class that can stand up to a blood 1v1 and only if they are on their absolute A game. Make no mistake about it there is ONLY 1. That class is a WW monk who dispels disease properly and knows when to be offensive and when to be defensive.
Maybe it wasn't a good mechanic, but the problem is they don't have a basic mechanic weakness to exploit at all now. Casters can be interrupted and can't do anything if a decent melee is in their face or if they get silenced, and melee can be kited. For hunters, since they didn't have either of those problems, it was the minimum range; now it's nothing.
As a feral If I can get a good opener on a hunter it's damn near "GG" as he'll have a few hundred K worth of bleeds ticking away and deterrence don't do jack shit about bleeds.

Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.

Hunters whilst good at dishing out damage don't do to well taking it themselves. The high CC and damage I feel is an set to the fact we are very squishy overall.
Double deterrence and RoS on a 1 minute cooldown, you're not so squishy that you deserve this amount of damage and CC. Something needs to give.
SRSLY half the people posting here have no clue how hunter works. Who in his right mind would ever think that:
shadow priest can beat hunters???What game are u guys playing??
blood dk?? Woodgela?? You have been embarrassing and demoralizing people with your blood dk?? There is no chance that you will ever touch a half descent hunter outside of death grip period. And no this is not world pvp where you can heal yourself to oblivion, I am talking about instanced pvp scenario with battle fatigue, you are a sitting duck. Calling people fools...pls lets set up that war game I will fraps it and post it here ----Mohyto#2488 Eu Stormscale

Only classes I have any issues 1v1 in instanced pvp are:
Rogues - equally skilled and geared, if I fail with flares
Insane destro lock who knows how to use his pet to cc.
Evrything else is just meh
boomkins and ferals are only op cuz people keep throwing dmg at them while defensive cd are up instead cc'ing
oh and Thopp, what are u talking about u can do plenty while deterrence is up, not everything is about dmg.
Disc priest! I kill tones of Hunters dueling outside ogrimmar!
