I'm trying this soon.
Just got off AV 70 playing my hunters,just 2 boomkins were making a mess of everything,in melee.
I will say i don't think they are strict front line pushers,they seem to play in the middle of the pack well.
Excellent at pulling people off flags and onto freindly fire.
Hard to pin down,with travel form,and hard to sight as moonfire doesnt line back to the caster,(i must have spent precious seconds swiveling around trying to locate the damn thing,meanwhile all i'm hearing is ,boom boom boom.)
Its really got my interest perked.
