Multiboxing huntards in arena

[Toned]

While a given composition might not work against another boxed composition...
And it is fun to be the stronger boxed composition, when you encounter another boxer...

I'm more interested in how it works against masses of normal players, as you'll face groups of 1-10 individual players quite often in battlegrounds.
For me, the battleground question is: Can your composition consistently handle larger groups of opposition?

I don't see Hunters working too well in Arena.
But would love to be proved wrong.

I dunno marksmen is pretty nuts right now.
Openning aimed shots + arcane + killshots could do some dmg.

Survival does alot of burst had has an extra cc, so you could have traps and sleeps going.

After the opener i have no idea how well the hunters would fair. 4 Hunters + a healer (non-boxed) probably a better comp if you were to get serious with multi-hunters.

For 5s im not going 5 hunters, I have a disc priest friend of mine with over 4 k resilience and a shitload of hp! In arena I would go MM specc! All in camo, picking target, send in pets who are stealthed, 4 pet stuns, load up 4 x aimed shots and nuke as hell should be able to kill someone faster then 4 x ele shamans! And when melee close in I pop 4 x explosive trap + 4 x snake traps. That should take a big chunck of their hp.

My hunters have alchemy.
For the WotLK era, the unlimited use healing potion is close to a 40% heal.

And I always try to spec into Spirit Bond.

They're doing their daily Truegold transmute (experimenting with 25x Truegold a day; mats cost a lot more than Life > Air... see if its more profitable), and of course their Grizzly Hills dailies.
The Priests are mid 77th, having only done 6 minutes of Grizzly Hills dailies, faithfully everyday since level 73.

i dont want to hijack this thread but i have to ask Ualaa:
How do you do these in only six minutes? It takes me at least that long just to do that one stupid bandage quest. And walking those shredders back to the quest giver probably takes that long too because theyre so slow. I can see doing the ones near the lighthouse area that quickly but not all the dailies, especially the logging camp ones.

Which quests are you skipping?

I do 3 at the lighthouse area, 3 at the logging camp, and 1 at the small logging camp. I also do the pirate bombing quest and gargoyle shooting quest in hiwking fjord, though the bombing one probably takes too long for it to be worth doing. It takes me at least 30 minutes to do those nine dailies. Probably more like 45 since i dont have epic flight.

I fly over the edge (Amberpine Lodge) and grab the daily overlooking the area with alliance/horde npc's.
Basically just apply a dot to each horde npc in the area, running along not even stopping.
Then run back towards the NPC, to turn the quest in.
The NPC's kill each other, and one dot is enough for kill credit.

I fly (epic flyers on all teams) north to the area where the pieces are on the ground.
I only take three quests here.
Bandage friendlies, kill hostiles and collect parts.

I initially ignore hostiles and friendlies and concentrate on the parts.
Just basically run a big circuit, and collect everything, PiP swapping as necessary so nothing is wasted.
Probably average three circuits to finish for everyone, sometimes need a fourth.

Anytime there are 3+ friendly NPC's in the same general area, I have each toon banadage a different one.
Also do this, in a few places (like the south area by the river) where one can break follow and bandage one NPC, while the others run up and get the gear and spring, then come back down.

Once three of the toons are complete and I'm working on #4 and #5, I kill the horde NPC's.
Then do turn ins, and hearth to Amberpine Lodge.

Four dailies for me, versus nine for you.
That would be the time disparity.

Thanks, Ualaa.

Ya... 4 Ele's landing kills is rare most of us have gone 4 DK !

Im more of a gimmick guy, Im looking for something that no one else has been sucsessfull with. Thats why I chose hunters

[Ualaa]

Hunters are fun.
And it is nice to be the pioneer, rather than one of the sixteen that have the same thing.

Hopefully you can make it work in arena.
I have no doubt of the ability to dominate in battlegrounds and world pvp.
And hunters have done a lot of PvE progression.

Thats the thing, why dont try something that havent been done before? What IF Im able to reach 1800 rating in 5s with 4 hunters and a priest? Would be like a dream come true for me. Ive allways loved hunters, and been playing em since TBC. And I know I can make this team work, with a little practice, some tweaking and new gear Only problem now is to get the last 30 % to ding 85 on my alts. GOD Im bored of leveling.
