3.0.2 Hunters - A Primer2010-02-26 00:00:00I wrote this for the hunters in my guild, but as my server's down I decided to crosspost it here. Mostly for but also in case you want to use it whenever we update the FAQ.
I'm writing this mainly not for the hunter mains in the guild. Most of you will know this stuff already, but for alts and non-hunters who would like to know some of the more important changes in our class.
Pets
Lets do this first as this is probably the biggest and most noticeable change. Pets have been given a huge overhaul. Think of them now as 3 new player classes. A tank, and 2 varieties of DPS. They now get talented like players. the trees are a little as follows.
Tenacity: (aka the tanking tree) Pets with this tree make very good tanks, certainly a lot better than you'd expect from a pet. They are certainly capable of tanking a normal instance. The hunter skill required to have his/her pet tank effectively while they DPS is quite challenging, but also quite fun. Gorillas deserve special mention as they were buffed quite heavily and now function similar to Paladin tanks. Not quite as good at holding AoE aggro as Pallys, but frankly, not far off!

Examples of Ferocity pets: Cats, Devilsaurs, Moths
Cunning: (aka the specialist damage tree...
question Id bet you already know the2010-02-11 00:00:00I don't think you really need to ask this question...I'd bet you already know the answer....you seem like you know how to gear. Your uritable, urushable (with shield blk or we the warrior skill isalled) and over 12k health unbuffed, with 4 greens, whh is perftly fine for heros. (I remember my old guild leader saying that warriors need to be uritable, and over 12k health, to tank kara...) P.S. I've seen people say don'tome to heros with greens, but I started heros with about the same stats as you and I had a green trinket :P....The mage probably saw four greens, and said...
are mh better Party Animals2010-02-08 00:00:00Great adve so far. Lks are mh better Party Animals than loners. I try to get aouple of Guildies, or friends to go to the BG with me. A pali, warrior, druid, hunter or anyombo that understands team work, and follows an attk plan makes a tough foe to rkon with. If you go in by yourself, try to hook up with the group leader and hope theres not a buh of HERO's on your team. Support, support, support
Don't rush forward w the meleers. Hang bk. You want toome upon fights just starting - where the other players are alreadyommitted to other players, if possible. And then DoT therud out of everything you...
