Holy BM - Hunters got the load!

okay so seriously, 85 BM hunters in beta have SICK PET DPS. I was rolling off crits from 22k to 30k on them, from the pets! (and this was from my lvl 83 devilsaur on an 85 target!!!!) Obviously there will be some tweaking but if things even stay close, i'm SERIOUSLY considering a team of 4 hunters and X healer as my new pvp team. Right now, 4 pets alone could quite possibly global someone and definitely in 2 globals with zero help from the hunter.
I played with a bunch of other classes on beta and the only other one I thought could crank the damage was death knight. When you compare the crits from abilities to the overall health of people I was starting to feel down about the future of pvp multiboxing. Of course, this is mostly in 85 greens with a blue weap.

I kinda hope bm hunters stay a little OP because I could totally see a Rated BG team of hunters that send in pets at 80 yards that just mow through opponents. Not to mention all the new raid wide hunter buffs you could get from 4 different exotic pets...

Oh, and camoflage, jeesh, whole team can sit perma invisible and insta-gib the first person that comes by. or just send pets and feign death in a bush and they'll never find your team lol.

If there is an ability so good that it overcomes all the severe weaknesses of a multi-hunter team, it will most assuredly be nerfed.

Don't fall into the Trap of multi-hunters... (pun intended!)
