Multiboxing huntards in arena

[Nikita]

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.

Update om hunters: dinged 85 today on all 5 hunters leaving me @ 98 k hp on all with pet buffs! Bought the bloodthirsty head right away since Ive saved up some honor from leveling, have enough for one more piece dropped an epic plate dps back today in Tol'Vir normal, in need of some gold for en enchants, glyphs and gems! Thinking about what prof to chose, I'd love to have alchemy for pots to do dungeons, and herbalism for minor healing and haste buff. But JC + herbalism is sweet aswell for kick ass gems stacked with haste and healing spell! Alch + herb = PvE proffs. JC + herb = PvP <-- what to chose?

I would strongly consider the PvP Gloves.
If the bonus is anything even half worthwhile to Hunters, this is probably the way to go.
You'll definitely be choosing between Chest, Legs, Gloves and whatever the other piece is, for the two piece Resilience bonus.
And have the PvP 2 minute trinket very high on your list as well.

After that, if you bought the crafted PvP sets... upgrade the slots without Resilience first.
If you did not buy the crafted sets, then probably get the four-piece bonus.

Make arena, whether 5's or 2's a priority.
The Conquest weapons are much better than anything previously available.




I would recommend Alchemy as one of your two professions on all of your teams.
The double duration potions is nice, and you can make a flask with unlimited uses, +80 to your attack stat.

The profession benefit is decent, but the main draw is the transmutes.

Initially take either of the other two specializations, then spend the gold to respec to transmute master; that is much cheaper than acquiring Primal Mights.
You could have a Potion and an Elixir master, if you'll make your own potions for use, but personally I'd go Transmute master on them all.

Take them only to 485 skill, for Transmute Elements.
Purchase Volatile Life (15 per toon).
And in Uldum (so you get Volatile Air, every time), do the Transmute Elements.
(You can park four of the five at Vortex Pinnacle, and have the fifth in Org/SW; instant-mail from the same account to the 5th toon, use the Summoning Stone, distribute Life, Transmute, transfer Air+Procs to the 5th and Hearth).
Air sells for more than twice Life, on my server... and while the value for each is slowly dropping, it is consistent and easy gold.
This transmute will grey out at 520 (of 525 max) skill; the cheapest path to 525 is 15x Whiptail + 15x Alicite per toon, which opens Truegold.

I'm sitting at +400,000g since the launch of Cataclysm, with an army of 29 transmutes per day.
I've missed a day here or there, probably 20 or so days of transmutes, but still basically 3 months of transmutes for 400k profit.
With 20% as many alchemists (initially), I would be +80k at this stage.

If you've recently done RAF, toons only need to be 75th to train Alchemy beyond 450.

Sounds fun, but what do you expect camouflage to do for you? lol the enemy can still see you, just cant target you right?

but if you can do it, go for it. i think its going to be a frustrating first week of BGs and arenas, though hehe.

[Ualaa]

BG's, at least the larger scale ones... probably not that frustrating.
Arena will likely suck initially... but once they have most of the honor gear, I've won in 2's with hunters in all three specs.

In 4.1, whenever that comes, the rate we gain honor is supposed to double.
4.2 is the new raid content/arena season, so no gear reset until then... plenty of time to get arena stuff, gradually.
And to have maxed out honor points to buy any of the (current) Conquest stuff that is missing when they change over.

Arena update: did 3s yesterday, just wanted to try it out. Met a 122 k hp DK, 117 k hp hunter and a 123 k disc priest! They steamrolled over my hunters which only have 334 resilience and 96 k hp. Then decided om 2s, met a mage and disc priest with 120 k hp, FML so figured I needed more honor gear every match I did some dmg, and didnt lose a toon right away. Only did 1 match of 3s and 1 match of 2s

[Multibocks]

ah I see you are now enjoying the reality of it =D


5s are the only place I can see you having a chance because you can burst like crazy.

Agree, 5s is the only place where 4 hunters can shine! Met a priest today when doing daily TB quests, and after sneaking up on him I gave him 5 aimed shots + 5 kill shots as a gift! He had 120 k hp, and went straight down. I know the damage to GCD some one is there, even with avg. 320 item lvl gear. But arena is another cenario, so just have to wait and see
