Multiboxing hunter in arena and BGs

[Nikita]

So here is my first movie ever, so please be gentle :) Some clips from arena and BGs. Some of the arena matches was against 2 healer + 3 dps combos. All in all it was great fun making the movie, enjoy :)

Absolutely insane, Nikita. That is just plain amazing. I have a few questions for you in no particular order:

1. What is the mod that shows your abilities on a slide bar with a timer on top?

2. Did you find more success with 4 Hunters and a separate healer or with 5 Hunters?

3. Have you tried out any other specs?

1. Im not at the computer right now, but will find it out later for you.

2. I actually had more success with 5 hunters rather then 4 hunters + 1 healer. Ill be getting my 1550 achievement real soon, just need more time to play :/ and ill do this with or without a healer.

3. Havent tried other specs yet, due to the buffs exotic pets bring to the table. My pets buff me with kings, fortitude, 5 % critt and 10 % reduced healing. So im gonna stick with BM spec for now :)

Most likely ForteXorcist (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7532-ForteXorcist.html).

Not at all, my hunters are sitting @ 2,2 k resilience without the pvp trinket :)

Ive been waiting for weeks for these videos! Utube says it cant find video 1. I watched video 2 though. Thanks for posting this. Your team just gradually chews its way across alterac valley. :D

[katsurahama]

Actually it says Cannot load movie. And it doesnt come up in the list when i click More From.

Im using an ipad. Is the first video a different format from the first one?

[Ualaa]

Nice video, thanks for sharing.



*Edit*
Both videos open fine, on a PC.

[Nikita]

Hmm, I had some friends watching video nr 1. And they said it worked perfect :/ checking it up

[katsurahama]

Thanks for the video, Nikita. Your video makes me look forward to having four rogues and a druid in bgs.

I dont install Flash on my pcs so i guess i cant watch the first video. :(

[Cookiebo]

any experience in doing instance with a full hunter team?

I lvled up to 85 by doing dungeons and BGs. Thou heroic trash hit too hard on my pet tank, so bringing a healer is a must if you wanna do heroics with a full hunter team.

L O L :D

Awesome. almost makes me want to get back and try it out. One thing though, the only thing to counter fear is Trinket right? Or does deterrence work aswell? Since I think you allready said that bestial wrath doesn't make you fear immune anymore.

If you could record in better resolution, then I'm pretty sure you'll get a load of hits on Warcraftmovies if you like and put some sound on the entire vid ;)

Great job.

[Mokoi]

nice video :)

Only trinkets would do the job against the fear question. I pop deterrence after the opening kill since stealthers usually open up then, after that I reposition, put out new traps and take down my second target. Im gonna record more arena clips as I climb the ladder, next goal now is the 1550 achievement. :)

Answer to question 1: The addon is named CoolLine Cooldowns :)

just waiting for you to come back ;) now we get better ques then ally ;)

Kudos for trying a comp that hardly anyone else plays and make it work. It looks like ele shamans in wrath. Blow up whatever comes in your line of sight.

I truly wonder what comp would work against this. Almost need a double healer and a dk to deathgrip them off one by one. DK deahgrips with tons of heals on him & chains the hunter, priest lifegrips dk, 2 ranged nuke 1 hunter by los your others. Anything that stands too long in the open is dead when 4-5x hunters are nuking it.

A DKs DG could destroy me, BUT Ive destroyed DK comps before, so its kinda random what comp I lose to. The full vicious LOS humping teams are hard to kill. And if I dont kill my first target, im pretty much screwed!

[zenga]

I take it that pallies Hand of protection is a pain in the arse for you as well if you blow CD's on that target (and in case you dont noitce it fast enough)?

[Nikita]

Ive only seen one paladin using that on my nuke target, usually they die before they can cast that. They are more busy trying to throw out a heal. BUT just found out what really destroys this comp.. The waiting game, where the other team hangs out on their court, out of reach for me

[Shodokan]

I really enjoyed watching those vids.

Beastial Wrath is very sexy and that spam is devastating.

What do you feel makes this better than marksman? I mean the burst you could get by simply doing something like rapid fire > aimed shot > chimera > readiness > chimera > spam arcane till your focus is gone would be absurd (especially as an instagib for possibly 2 people). It is hard to get aimed shot to actually work correctly but if you are using spider pets and can root them you have a good chance of at least getting one off... or maybe even trap launching a frost/slowing trap on a target in order to get that.

At high rating against pillar humpers your pets will not be in range to actually use kill command due to it's range requirements and how pets path. This has been a problem for single hunters for a long while now. So I feel that the damage from chimera will out-do the others.

I don't know if you are stacking haste but that might be something to look into as the more focus you are getting back from faster steady shots the more kill command/arcane/other shots you are able to do.

I'm impressed and hope it works out for you. I've been thinking about leveling my hunters and as a side project i just might with me getting honored in my guild next week and able to get 50% exp and such.

[Ualaa]

The pally targetable bubble on another toon... is a 50% physical reduction in damage.
I know my DK's basically blow through that one like it isn't there.
I'd imagine your hunters would be the same.
Pain Suppression would likely be the same then.

The issue is a primary target that can Iceblock or Self-Bubble.
But you already mentioned prioritizing who to go for first.

I like the burst.
Anywhere with long line of sight will favor the team, like the BG in the sewers.. if they jump off of the side.

The biggest problem after the initial spam wave is getting focus back, this is where I use traps, disengage and deterrence to give my healer some time to heal up and reposition. Since Aimed shot got a 2,4 sec cast time, I might miss out on a to heavy burst on my healer from the opposing team. When I open the opposing team goes into defensive mode, thats what saves my healer most of the times. Perhaps a Chimera shot -> Arcane Shot, Arcane Shot, Arcane Shot, Arcane Shot would work better. But then again Id lose tons of usefull buffs from my pets. But will try MM specc out, ill report back how it goes :) Currently reforged to mastery, mostly using agi gems.

The good thing is that you can start casting aimed shot when you are stealthed, and the target wont detect you. I`ll see what I can find out this weekend :)

My hunters cut through that shield like a hot knife in butter, so that aint a problem. The biggest issue I`ve been having lately is not having a regular healer. Need to find a full vicious holy pala or priest!

Number 1 prio targets:
Warriors
Death Knights
Boomkins
Feral
Shamans
Locks

Numer 2 prio targets:
Paladins
Rogues
Hunters
Priests

Usualy warriors charge my healer, going out of range from their healer. And this is a perfect for me to get that first kill :)

[Littleburst]

just waiting for you to come back ;) now we get better ques then ally ;)

Who knows what might happen ;)

Still enjoying myself with League of legends so far.

Keep us updated Nikita, very interested on how MM is gonna work out and how high you can get with a well geared healer.

[Ashley]

lol, it's like a damn machine gun.

Was awesome on the last part the druid came out of stealth and you jumped back 5 times and raped his face off.

Nice work!

[tanknspanker]

hey nikita :)

first of all, VERY nice done right there!
the control, action..

but have a few questions myself,

-In arena I just c u spam the arcane shot-key .. are there any ability's, talent points that improve the focus gained?
-Would it be possible for u to share some macros you are using?
-And we all know hunters got some nice cc's (inclusive pets), how do you manage those?

[Andreauk]

Great work :)

I just watched a vid of a Hunters gorilla pet tanking Argaloth lol So Cata heroics be easy right?

All hunters are specced into BM specc for that insane burst, so the only viable shot we have is arcane shot. BM hunters are like ele shamans back in WOTLK. Kill the first target you see. I can critt up to 15-20 k on full pvp geared targets with AS, pets can critt for the same. After the first kill I usualy pop deterrence, since thats when the other team use CDs. Biggest problem Ive countered is the focus regen, thinking about gemming all hunters with haste gems for faster regen.

[Nikita]

Great work :)

With a turtle tank, stamina gemmed hunter and 2 set bonus from tier 5 I'd say its very possible :)
