I went with shaman for the wipe protection and the res .. I had a fifth hunter I dropped him like a hot snot in around WC time, because I nearly spent half my time running a singular hunter back to the instance, even when I got feign death it doesn’t always work, resists are far more common than you’d realize. The pet healing also becomes problematic at certain chokes... princess in Mara for example, you end up full time on mend pet On all five hunters and little to no time dps. You probably gain more dps by dropping one hunter than always having at least two on mend pet duty. Glad I brought the healer though because at 40 I respec’d one hunter from BM to MM for TSA and his pet is super squishy. Plus tremor totem, grace of air, and strength of earth more than make up for the missing hunter... and don’t forget stoneskin if you’re stuck on a hard hitting boss.
