Hunter/Warlock Help...

[taknbyd]

I have read nothing but bad things about Dual Boxing a Hunter/Warlock combo. I was just curious if anyone has had any success DBing this type of combo... Thanks in advance...

I spent just a little while tonight using my 1st and 2nd account mains together (73 lock and 68 hunter), but wasn't doing anything serious, just killing a bunch of basillisks round shattrath to get scryers rep.

Both classes take a lot of spell bar space, and you use all those spells together, weaving them in amongst each other based on their cooldowns. Trying to use both at once, and finding keybind space for everything is going to be tricky. The upside is if you can pull it off you'll have both a lot of burst DPS, and utility. The downside is that neither of the pets can really tank well enough without proper healing, and trying to focus on healing just one while you have the other class DPSing isn't going to be easy.

I prefer to use my hunter with a priest, and for farming I've yet to find anything that can match them. I just bubble the pet and send it out to round up several mobs, then recall it to right in front of the hunter, where I spam volley, while bubbling/healing both hunter and pet. At 66 I was pulling 6 bog lords at once in zangarmarsh (I lose pulls if I go for any more), and it was a laugh watching all the bots run round trying to find something to kill.

get a monkey pet on the hunter and it can tank just fine. Biggest problem with lock/hunter is kill speeds, locks take a while with dots, but can dot a ton at a time, where as a hunter just burns mobs down, albeit he is limited by how many his pet can hold if hes trying to use volley to ae them down. Mixing and maxing burst versus sustained dps can be difficult. I don't really buy the whole each class has to many buttons thing either, having leveled a hunter to 80 and a lock to 73 I'd say they can each do thier jobs just fine with under a full bar (12), and actually alot less to be just fine. marks hunter uses kill shot, a sting, arcane shot, steady shot, hunters mark and aimed shot, an affliction lock (has more dots) would use siphon life, corruption, curse of agony, immolate, unstable affliction, haunt, drain life, drain soul, possibly shadow bolt or wand. Can put your dots in a cast sequence macro and save space.
