Did I really just watch 4 hunters solo-box a 90 heroic at 90? I left mine at 80 after WotLK primarily because I had zero luck doing current-level instances with them, let alone heroics. They were always my first love in terms of classes, though (love pet-primary classes).
Thank you for watching! Hunters are a TON of fun! :DQuote:

The level of ineptitude from the other players in the groups I got stuck in - holy cow. Objective based pvp with only four players following the objectives while the other team actually plays to win - not so cool.
Maybe it gets better at higher level brackets?
Can you tell me what factor (or combination thereof) that lets you survive current-level heroics with your hunters? I'd have been surprised to see 5 hunters succeed, let alone FOUR. Or is this less of a case of special setup as much as doing specific instances that lend themselves to hunter mechanics being survivable?
I have done heroics with only 3 hunters. The pets take so litle dmg and holds aggro perfectly with missdirection (even with out too) its all about the dps realy and keep your pet alive (but that's not hard in any way) .. imo :)
There really isn't a special setup per say, just being able to steamroll the mechanics before they get started. My hunters do around 120k dps each on boss fights, i'd say that they'd struggle a bit at a lower gear level - but it would still be very doable. My wife will solo heroics from time to time on her hunter, or if I have a team that just needs valor. She routinely averages at around 500k dps in our raids.Quote:

Huh. I didn't realize the new BM specs were that good at pet tanking. Granted, the last instance run I did was very shortly after Cataclysm (early 80s). I'll give that another look. They're all 84 so it shouldn't be too much work getting them to 90. I appreciate all the info! ;) o7
