5x Hunter team, question about pets and Azerite traits.

Bumping this thread with a more broad question. Do you guys do mythic+ with 5 DPS? Was legion the end of the golden age for DPS teams? I'm asking because I'm planning to start a new team in 2019, after miserably failing to master a trinity team at the beginning of BFA.

Yeah I think you need a healer. It is not necessarily a trinity team you need, 4x hunter and 1x healer probably do OK. I am going with the trinity setup myself with a tank&healer I can switch to dps for wqs.

But then again when the next raid comes out we will get another iLvl of gear drops. Maybe then we will be able to out-dps the boss mechanics.

I would recommend driving from the healer in BfA and add IWT to your melee DPS rotation. It makes things much easier with all the mechanics we have to deal with. But definitely drive from the healer.

I was having the same question- i have been playing around with the mechanics of my three hunters but before i go trudging along in levels i figured if i am going to go with 5 it might as well be now.

I was thinking of adding 2 more hunters which is great for DPS and gear sharing but healing really seems to be necessary with the minor heals the hunters have. Well that and 110 boosted gear to start off with that is.

So I figured hit Trinity also and just embrace the suck of getting a team to run right.

I guess if i may ask since it goes along with the original post and doesn't hijack it too much-

Tank- Paly or DK personally think i like Paly but i have no real experience

Healer- Holy priest or? Seems like Holy priest is the main embodiment of a healer but again i have no clue about healers, if driving from a healer there might be less issues but i have read that the holy priests have less mobility while healing then say a druid.

Then add in the current 3 hunters and away we go... their dps is really nice so add in some survivabilty and it will be a beautiful thing.

Thanks!

Duly noted. I’m struggling to decide if I should level two more hunters to get 5, then take them each individually through heroic raids to gear them for m+. Or just one hunter and go with a healer that I already have and gear the team all together by doing m+.
