5 Hunter Deadmines

[Vyndree]

Or do you have your set to not switch attacks when going in and out of melee range?

This.

I don't like them to melee, since it breaks /follow, unless I specifically TELL them to melee. This helps me when I'm kiting stuff and need to walk past a mob. Normally they start autoattacking and lose /follow.

So, I want them to auto shoot, but not melee attack. So I use /cast !Auto Shot.

So thank you... and my lack of repair bill thanks you also.

Very welcome. I'm glad someone got some use out of my crazy macros.

Using !auto shot isn't new in 2.4, but is unique to a few uses.

Anything on that page with auto shot is using the "!" modifier.

Will you be able to do heroics with 5 hunters? Are the 5 pets enough to survive in heroics or is this going to be a pure pvp team?

5 hunters would be a lot of fun, but I do wonder about what happens when you get stuck in melee range or in dead range during PVP

Given the amount of damage done in heroics and my lack of heals (lol GoTN + Bandage?) I seriously doubt I can be competitive in anything other than battlegrounds at 70.

can you res pets in combat? i was thinking if you had five pets tanking and you could just keep FDing to keep them tanking and hunters dont over aggro, and as each pet dies res it back up send it back into combat.

also i doubt very much that people standing in your 'dead zone' or trying to los you will last long with five pets running about

im currently trying out 4 hunters and a paladin, and killing everything with just auto shoot atm, im pre level 10 but haveing alot of fun cant wait for my pets still not totally sure what pet to go with, i knew boars had the charge, and were pretty good tanking.

any advice would be great,

Two words: AoE damage.


BC is full of it.


While you can rez pets in combat, I'm hearing reports after a recent patch that hunters can end up pulling aggro off their pet very easily with nothing but auto+steady.

That looks like SO much fun. You may have inspired me to roll my group of hunters!

Hehe I've been getting quite a few inquiries about my hunters, but haven't really had a chance to play them seriously. I rolled them when I was on my 1-week vacation between teams at MS, and they've kinda been collecting rest XP ever since.

I've been rather busy getting my main back into raiding and gearing up the pally, along with the shammies. It's amazing how it eats up your time when you actually try to be dedicated about that stuff.

Due to overwhelming response to the raid icon/focusing done in this video, I've elaborated a bit more about it here: http://vboxing.net/v/index.php?q=node/154
