Hunters

Does anyone multibox them? I just started multiboxing with the Recruit-a-friend deal, and it seems to be going pretty well. I dont know why I dont see many of them being multiboxed, they seem pretty fun to level with four of them :D

Edit: Im only at level 8 and the mobs drop in one to two rounds of shots, I cant imagine when I have 4 pets :O

I have a 5 man team that's lv 11 or so currently. I like it, it's more "fun" than i have with my other 2 teams.

There are a few others here that do it as well and have gotten pretty far ahead with it.

To be honest though, I just want to try it to get 5X devilsaur come expansion

5 Hunters = FTW Pawnage

I am pretty sure there is a video here of somone with 4 Tauren Hunters doing Ramps .... might want to check it out.

Not sure where you get the idea that not many people box them, granted they aren't as popular as shammies, but there are plenty of us out there.

[WoW] 5x Hunters - My Adventures

I have a 5 set of bloodelf hunters 15 th I know BE's look gay but I like to think I'm mocking the allis this way

Oh, ok! Thanks guys! I'm kinda new to all of this. I tried Shammies, Mages, Warlocks and they were fun, but the downtime was tremendous when compared to hunters. I think i'm going to stick with them all the way!

I've boxed a priest and 4 x lock team, a shammy team and am currently doing a hunter team (lvl 63).

Out of these three groups, the shammy team is defintely the most viable for PvE & PvP. The hunter team has been surprisingly good in PvE so far - I just cleared Slave Pens tonight. However I know there is no way I'll be able to do heroics with these guys (unlike the shammy team). I think that pvp will be a blast once I hit 70 though!

Cheers,

I have a lvl 70 team with one Priest and 4 Hunters. It's very enjoyable and 1-60 was a total breeze. 60+ instances were more challenging. I've cleared Sethekk and most of Steamvault, but had real trouble with the first boss, after taking out the second with no issues. I'm working a bit on gear and will attempt some other lvl 70 instances soon. I doubt Hunters can clear most heroics, but I'm hopeful I can find a boss or two that I can farm.

As for PvP, I kinda suck at it, so it's hard to know how much is the hunter class and how much is me. LoS is a real pain and mitigation is pretty high against hunter shots, anecdotally speaking. I think there are much better options for Arena as well. I'd agree with the other posters that Shamans seem to be the best all-around PvE and PvP grouping at the moment.

Interesting to hear from others as well, I have a group of 4 hunters at 63 and their damage is sweet but the steam roll I was doing leveling seems to have slowed down quite a bit. At 70 they aren't producing a ton of damage? or how is that fairing in terms of 70 instances and pvp.

It's hard to say. I'm hoping my gear (mix of S1 and quest/AH blues) is my bottleneck, but Hunter dps is much less impressive than I hoped. I also have trouble with LoS and /follow issues, especially with multiple targets. Unlike Shamans, Hunters are essentially worthless if they're aimed in the wrong direction. Part of that is my learning curve, so I need better macros, but mobs and other players still seem a lot more sturdy than they did at 60, for whatever reason.
