Hunters so much more viable than I thought now that Deadzone is almost non-existant.

[mlwhitt]

I have heard a lot of downplay on multiboxing Hunters most of which I am sure comes prior to the Deadzone reduction. I have to say that one of my two-box groups is a Hunter pair that is going to be a BM/MM pair. So far I haven't seen no problems with range or survivability and this prior to pets.

Had anyone done any major work with a hunter duo now that the Deadzone is almost non-existant? Any pointers?

Nothing to note except that it is insanely fun!

hmm might actually be good to do 2 BM specs if you only have 3 accounts and 1 healer

I do have three accounts, that does sound like a good idea. Thanks for the input.

I fully intend to tribox hunters soon...I already have a 70 hunter on another server I can use to boost the lowbies

If you can sponsor your lowbies with ammo pouches and 14+ slot bags, hunters are very fun classes in PVE. I haven't tried them again since the deadzone removal but they were a PITA in PVP when it was still 8 yards. Also very easy to run instances with. Their pets are excellent pocket tanks for everything short of heroics.

I have managed to get my team of 4 hunters and a Paladin to 29 so far, no deadzone has made it very easy, the pet's seem to be much better than the equivalent Warlock pet's, the dps 4 hunters put's out is insane.

Hunters could already solo alot of elite quests pre-bc(I only grouped for instances lvling my hunter; almost everything else I solo'd with my trusty boar Bebop, and he also Offtanked trash in AQ20 ;p), I can only imagine what you could do multiboxing them + the deadzone + talent changes that've happened since then. Not to mention it'd be hilarious to watch 5 of them FD at once lol

Then think about the practical applications, where speccing them all differently would be a GOOD thing for once...BM For "MT" pet + Ferocity buff to entire party, Marksmanship hunter for TSA buff to party, maybe a Surv(ewww) for improved frost traps to kite with...let alone having 3-5 imp conc shots, can we say stunlock? And the dps output's even better than casters because Ranged dmg isn't affected by Glancing/underlv'd fights, aka if you're a lv19 fighting a lv24 you'll still do full dmg(I kited and solo'd Bellygrub at 19 and he's 24, and solo'd the lv38-40 elite ogres in alterac at the same lvl, and even dinged 40 specifically on them cuz they gave 800+ exp a kill); damnit now i'm gonna have to roll my hunters...so much power a Shaman would be jealous

Well like you said even one hunter does feel OP. With my two lowbies that I have been working on they feel very OP. Only my baby locks feel even remotely as OP. I have an Orc for the 5% pet Damage that I will be speccing BM and a Troll for the +5 to bows that will be BM. I am debating adding a third hunter Tauren to the mix for Survival but hoenstly i think just the two in play will be EZ mode, considering that with the pets you same as have a four person group.

It is very rare for any mob to last longer than 1 melee attack so far, if they make it past the shoot sequence they die after getting hit by 4 2-handed Axes..
