How many hunters do you have/Do you play both factions?
I was thinking of starting a Draenei hunter to be my main on alliance side and I was wondering how many hunters other people have and if they're easy to manage? I've never tried playing both factions before or two hunters at the same time and I was wondering if it's easy or a bit of a juggling act as I don't wanna level her if I'm never going to be able play her!

Re: How many hunters do you have/Do you play both factions?
As for my hunters, I have one on my old server sitting at 90 collecting dust because I swapped servers and didnt take her with me, but I have now made a brand new hunter and intend to make one more once gnome hunters are on live. That'll put me at three even though I kinda dont count the one on my old server anymore. I personally prefer not going too crazy and just have two at the most, one for horde and one for alliance. I played horde a lot, but since swapping servers I am enjoying my new characters on the alliance. For me its just hard to manage more than two of one class, cause something will usually be collecting dust. A big part of the reason that I even allowed myself multiples of some classes is due to the fact that I can never stick with a rogue or a DK. It just never works, so therefore I make more of a class that I enjoy in their place. But do what is right for you! If you really feel you won't play them, then maybe it won't be a great investment. But also there is nothing wrong with more then one! I know some folks here have like 10+ hunters because they love to have different stables for each to compliment race/theme or just because they love to tame so many different pets that the stable limit was not enough. I hear its 50 now, so it may be harder to reach that limit, but there was a time when you could only have 5 pets! Anyway, enough babble from me. I wish you luck in deciding! <3

Re: How many hunters do you have/Do you play both factions?
You might think it absurd to play so many hunters but I never get tired of the class. I customize each one with different backstories, personalities, and pet themes. Managing them all is no different than it is with any other alt to be honest. I simply play whichever one I choose to focus on at any given time until it's time to focus on another, whether it's for leveling purposes, pet taming, or story progression.

Re: How many hunters do you have/Do you play both factions?
Like Niabi, I have very different themes on each hunter (I never tame the same look twice, for example) with their own naming themes, and somehow that keeps all my hunters feeling fresh, although they're all currently BM. It's funny, because I have three priests and when questing they all go Shadow, and I tend to get bored very fast if playing them near each other, but I never have this problem with the hunters. I guess it's the bond they have with their pets that keeps them exciting?
Bottom line, do what you enjoy!

This is exactly what I wanted to do! I think I will actually. I started my Draenei today and I'm enjoying levelling another hunter so much! She already has a theme of a "falconer". My Worgen has always been a rare hunter. Niabi, how often do you play each and are they all similarly geared? I'd love to have a balance of both horde and alliance, maybe two as raiders.

Niabi, Auroryn, Kadija, and Drakara are level 100. Khau and Ghiselle are both level 90. Synestra is level 85. Lilyth is level 80. Saraea just hit level 70 and my bank alt hunter Chotchke, is level 12.Flyra wrote:Niabi, how often do you play each and are they all similarly geared?
I've had to take a 2 year on-and-off hiatus from playing due to health reasons but on my best days I can still get in a hour or two. Because of this, some of my hunters have sat at their respected levels for the duration of this expansion. If I was well however, I can bet most, if not all of them would be at max level by now.
My level 100s are geared almost identically because I don't raid or run very many high level instances but transmogging allows me to change up the look of their armor and weapons so it doesn't become a problem.
This is sooo true! My druids feel the same. My warlocks feel the same. But my hunters ... they always feel unique and interesting.Mozag wrote:Like Niabi, I have very different themes on each hunter (I never tame the same look twice, for example) with their own naming themes, and somehow that keeps all my hunters feeling fresh, although they're all currently BM.

Re: How many hunters do you have/Do you play both factions?
Due to ADHD I am able to keep up (so to speak) with all 6 lasses however also due to the boredom of repeating the same rep grinds blah blah blah my alliance main is the one doing all the raiding, WoD rep for flying etc. I find them easy to manage this way. Giordana is my workhorse while the other girls are all lazy and for fun. They do a lot of the old old old content that I don't remember or love repeating. Any gear upgrades Giordana receives that can be sent to help other toons is a major boon too!
For me hunters are like potato chips. I cannot have just one. I've too many ideas /themes I want to do.
I'm sure this really doesn't help but thought I'd say that Mozag & Niabi aren't alone in having several hunters running at once.

Never really thought of making a third Hunter, though. What's it like to have three or more? o_o

Re: How many hunters do you have/Do you play both factions?
Currently I have 3 max level hunters. My main, Veph. My secondary main, Cas, who became my RP character a few years ago and has quickly become one of my favourite characters. And a draenei hunter that I like to keep maxed just so I have someone on the Alliance side as well.
Besides these 3 I also have a plethora of hunter alts at various levels.
I don't keep everyone geared though, usually that's the focus for Veph alone (though I'm considering "maining" Cas in Legion since he's MM, depending on how BM feels by the time I play through it with Veph). I just don't really have the energy to upkeep multiple characters at a high item level, and I don't feel the need to experience that part of the game on more than one character either.
Hunters are just fun to play, they always have been, and since they're my favourite class I tend to enjoy them most for leveling.

Re: How many hunters do you have/Do you play both factions?
All of them are hunters.
Tauren, Blood Elf and Troll.
I also have smaller hunters.
Tauren, Night Elf and Orc.
Seems like I'm in need of some severe help...
Re: How many hunters do you have/Do you play both factions?
I don't like the looks of a lot of beasts next to my tauren, so this gives me a chance to use themed stables and finally get to main some of the more fanciful creatures like dragonhawks and plagued gazelles without having it clash RP-wise.
Next I'd like to try a draenei and go with a full Outland theme to my pets, or a human/goblin pirate with a parrot. My poor night elf warrior and blood elf priest may never see the light of day again.
