Hunter IWT melee?

BT is just a good high DPS pet. For PvE, yea, I wouldn't even bother with BT tbh. I'd run 1 carrion bird, and 3 or 4 wolves. Put the wolves furious howl on round robin in my DPS rotation. Carrion bird is your "tank", wolves round robin furious howl. Camp your hunters inside the aoe buff range while dpsing, and enjoy a little deeps boost.

All cats put out the exact same dps, it’s just BT’s 1.0 attack speed means that even if he misses a few attacks he’s still gonna build threat higher in a constant rate where as wolfs with their 2.? Attack speed if they miss the first attack a lot of the times the mob is in your dead zone before it gets Agro. As a result if I was going to drop a pet it would actually be the wolf for another BT... also if your considering doing 4 hunters, The most important piece of information I can give you is if you spec imp hunters mark 5/5 on one and 4/5 on another and 3/5 on the next and finally 2/5 on the last you can actually get 4 hunters marks up one target if you cast them all at the exact same time... combine that with strength of earth totem and grace of air. You could be in actual greys and still mow down PVE instances

Yes. BT is a good PvE dps/anti caster pet. I'm the guy who linked that hunters mark bug in these forums . Point was with 4 or 5 pets, BT is basically irrelevant, if you could get BT, yea, but you don't NEED BT to spam pushbacks on casters.

I didn’t even know you had linked it! I only found out because I didn’t have the gold to update hunters mark while leveling except for one hunter And I bought the spells with mouse broadcast so I didn’t even know I didn’t have it... so when I cast it next mob I got two hunters marks and couldn’t figure out why until I realized I hadn’t bought it on one hunter, so I respeced another one to see if that also affected it and it did... cool

it has been posted by Blizz that Hunter's mark actually stack (different ranks)

That's not the bug.

The bug is that because of spell batching, you can put 5, maybe 6 MAX rank hunters marks on a single target. By having different levels in the hunters mark talent 1-5/5, you can stack those.

If you do it sequentially, they don't stack. If you do it all at once, they stack.

(Edit, I assume this bug is because of spell batching).

The topic from the original post was about the Hunter class and how it works when using Interact with Target. The question has been answered, and I would rather not de-rail this into a "Hunters are bad in PvP" or a general "Hunter mechanics" thread. If anyone wishes to further discuss Hunters, and how to play them, please open a new thread.
