I've been running 70 bm and 52-55 bm thru brd. Except for not finfing lyceum, we can do the whole instance. This is prior to keyclone, but my only problem was getting the other pet to aggro. Aggressive doesn't seem wise no matter what level. And with the 70 tanking taking the lead, i'm finding it difficult to engage the 2nd pet effectively. Hopefully this all goes out the window with keyclone and even just tiling the windows. And using a simple macro, thanks to this site, I can more easily engage the second hunter without care if it comes to melee. As the macro can make it auto follow after combat. The last time I did it, I was pure manual two keyboards/mice. Took about 6 hrs, and that's god awful slow, but the breaking to switch between boards time and again is part of it. Eh, it was free ench mats and a couple nice upgrades.

If you were to 5 box, what would you team up with hunters for Pvp and PVE?
Would a Pally (healer) + 4 hunters be a good team or
Priest + 4 hunters be good
Do you need a tank if you go BM for heroics?
-
Priest, squishy but nice aoe healing spells, and nice sta buff
Druid, less squishy, nice hots also nice buff with gotw
Pally, not so squishy, no hots, difficult heal targetting (9 targets to click), but nice buffs bom and bok
think if you also want to go pvp a druid would be nicest, with the hots and bear form to turn in to when taking on a group that aims for the healer, and if you go bear you can give your group a nice 5% crit increase .. think they all have nice pro's its just a bit of seeing which con would be bad in your play style

So I got my trio of Hunters on Ravencrest up to 12 the other night. I must say that Zugshot, Zenshot and ZenZen are tearing up the town. I am using a boar and two cats and so far I am dropping equal level mobs within maybe 15 seconds. I am loving it.
I have been getting harassed though. Had a Druid and a Paladin following me around messing with me. I said I was a 3 boxer and not a bot but they still harassed me. I guess playing 3 boxed hunters I am asking for it as everyone naturally thinks that hunters are either bots or gold farmers. Oh well.

I have seen a lot of 4-hunters and 1 shaman setups recently, thinking of doing that myself (If I ever get started)

I am fixing to add a fourth Hunter to the mix this week. I have another hunter that I can transfer over to a new account so I think it is worth trying.
Right now my setup on my 3 is:
Orc with Boar pet (Full BM)
Troll with Cat Pet (Full MM)
Orc with Cat Pet ( BM/Surv hybrid)
So far it works great. I have the second orc follow the troll who follows the lead and with a single point in hawkeye I can use him from the rear without having to use my positional macro.
I am only at 15 with them right now but at this point the Troll is leading the DPS by a good margin, mostly because he is the one that I am giving any +agl gear. I have thought about placing the other orc's pet with a boar for an off tank, but for right now Hunter 1's boar has not had any problems holding aggro.
As far as the two cats I have turned off growl on both of them and let them use full focus on clow and so forth. The funny thing is though with my current setup my boar's charge puts him on the target way ahead of the cats and I haven't ran into an equal level mob yet that can hold up to the boars Gore and 3 Arcane shots and not fall by the time the cats get to the mob.
I realize that Hunters have always been the kings of taking on mobs orange and red to them. I do think it is funny that the 3 hunters are able to drop mobs 5 and 6 levels higher quicker than the other classes can drop a single equal level mob.
One thing that I have found though (at least pre-trap) is that if my lead falls or if I get adds from the rear I can get screwed over pretty quickly.

I've started 5 x orc hunters, sending in 5 x boar to mince up the enemy is insane :) Only level 10 at the moment, but I'm aiming for lvl 19 wsg twinking, should be fun times!!
Clothies are going down for sure :)
