To all mixed ranged teams in the making

Once you start running hunters, only plate and mail will drop.

Is a Hunter realy that bad ?

I start to comeback and figured out, what Setup i take..The optimal Range Setup ist ( mmo raid champion ) PROT,Moonkin,Hunter,Mage and Rest Shamy. All Buffs here.

but now i am not sure about that.. i always thought a hunter is a great multibox Char and make easy 7000/8000 Dps in Endgame.

I have a hunter in my mixed group, and I am seriously considering dropping him for a warlock or a boomkin. The main buff you get from a hunter is replenishment, but warlocks can provide that as well. My hunter's DPS is significantly lower than my mage AND my ele shaman.

Frankly the biggest issue with a hunter (IMHO) is not dps, it's the dead zone and the positioning issues that leaves you with. Keeping my hunter at effective range is a major problem in dungeons like VH, that would otherwise be far less painful with all the toons on /follow

Makes me very sad face as my hunter is my raiding main.....

I have a 5900GS hunter that I recently started boxing with my guys and I love it ><

He keeps up with / out dmgs on longer boss fights my 5900-6k GS shamans.

Although if your tank isn't a DK (mine isn't) the most efficient class would probably be a destro lock imo >< 13% dmg + replen > just replen.

I seldom had issues with range when I played hunter.

The few times the mobs got in the dead zone, I would just take a step or 2 back.

Not sure what people's issues with playing hunters are.

Get a hunter.
Get a hunter.
Get a hunter.

I run a mixed group with paladin tank, priest healer, and shaman, druid, mage as casters..
I've started clearing some heroics and the ToC/ICC normals, and all i'm getting is mail/leather attack power crap >.<
it's so frustrating. A hunter could have made use of all those items and would be geared by now. the waste is infuriating.

I have a hunter at 70, on the mages account.. really thinking of trying him out.. but the mage tables and ports are really useful, and the mage's dps is not too shabby considering the gear he's in.
argh...
ow well, Disenchant and Vendor i guess, my loot (bad)luck will change soon hopefully.

Hahaha I agree. I am about to run a new mixed ranged team from 0-60 and had instant flashbacks of all the huntard loot that dropped in the instances.
