So on the patch day, my normal server was down for a bit... I made a 5x female dwarf hunter team on the Wildhammer server. I spent the last few days leveling to about 20 and wanted to share my experiences.
First the server and the people (alliance of course). I don't think anyone has ever ever ever multiboxed there. I got at least 50-100 WTFs every night. When i was lvl 11 and heading out into ellwyn forest for the first time with my newly aquired boars, I had almost 40 people of all levels follow me to see how it worked out. My nightly following hovered around 10. other than 2 people that weren't supportive, the rest of the population seemed really nice. Problem was trying to explain it all, so i ended up making macros for a bunch of it.
The good part about 5x hunters with pig pets: stuff dies FAST. 1 charge/arcane/auto shot kills nearly everything thats orange even with only using light shot. When you hit 20 for aspect of cheetah, life is good again. Having 5 dwarf females, and a "RIVERDANCE!!!" macro is fun
Things that you would think are good, but not really so: 5x traps - sometimes gets eaten up by 1 mob. While this is ok mostly for explosive trap, when trying to CC multiple mobs with freezing trap , it bites. 5 pigs - at low lvl, my chars ended up pulling more aggro than I thought they would, even specced beast mastery and with growl on autocast.
Stuff that downright sux: not having a healer/ resser. I've become accustomed to being not careful on my lock/ priest grp cause i have soulstones. This has led to many a horrible death and long runbacks with the hunter team. Tab targetting is a NONO - pets end up all over the instance pulling everything they can.
My recommendations: do it! its fun. Be careful in instances, deaths are sucky. Don't be alliance, having to wait till 19 or so to get an instance sux.
