50 reasons hunters are better than every other class

[KynraWindrunner]

Meh, I personally like Druids better than hunters. I just love hunters cause they have so many pets to choose from and every pet have a different kind of ability. It's like having two characters in one lol

I have a boomkin right now and until I can get my gear up to the same lvl as my hunter it's hard for me to say which is easier to play in pvp/pve (Daily questing). The one thing I miss for any class is the ablity to round up a few monsters and just AOE them down.. Can't do that anymore. Just 2 on me is to much and I need to get them off me. The one thing I love about a hunter is I have a pet that can pull the aggro off me. I can freeze trap them and deal with them later and if all else fails I have the pet heal me and I Fake death till I recover enough health. Sometime I just have to let the pet die to save myself.

Just for the sake of things my list for WoW/just about any RPG (including D&D back when I played a bit):

1. Hunters (or any class that can use beast guardians/pets)
2. Druids (b/c of the pet thing from DnD 3.5, and pets in Diablo two)
3. Shaman
4. Death Knight and Pally are tied (They are close to the same thing, just different move names! xP, besides, have you ever played a level 20 Dragon Born Paladin in 4.0? It's insane... )
5. Warlock/Mage are also tied.

I always liked the feral aspects in a Druid. The highest level Druid I had was a 44 and the highest level Hunter I had was like 25 so I never did much PvP with him but he was great with PvE. I did do a lot of PvP in the battlegrounds with my Druid but always ended up dying most of the time lol I usually stayed on D or just ran for it to get the flag XD

Rofl, I like it

"Hunters have literally tamed Ghostcrawler."

and

"Hunters don't allow gnomes."

especially

Brutal in a good way? If so then I can't wait to play again! lol

There getting nerfed though. The classes in general are out of balance right now.

[KynraWindrunner]

Aww =[ Well hopefully they're still fun to play or else I'll have to revert back to my hunter lol

It's not a big nerf, really. It's more of a balance.

They're lowering Bleeds but upping the first initial hit, so to speak.

[RoguePlayer]

Hunter is a good class but my favorite is rogue and I doubt this will change soon

[amrasillias]

the ones that are "hunters arent warlocks, hunters arent death knights" I think the author ran out of ideas and just through in some generic ones for the sake of having "50"

some are good, others lame. this list should have been cut down to 20 or so (with the 20 top ones since there maybe are 20 ok ones in here)... the dumb ones make it less enjoyable.

i'm old and crotchity, what can is say?

Well the 50 make sense if you are a frequent reader of his blog posts. The "hunters arent warlocks, hunters arent death knights" is not because he ran out of ideas, it's because he likes to pick on those classes. Just like he picks on elves as his hunter is a dwarf. It's almost an RP thing.

[amrasillias]

If you look at it from an extreme soloing point the classes that are OP are:
Pallies, DK and Hunters. They are the ones doing the "world first solo this and that boss" thing.
Druid is nice and versatile but not so much OP in that area i think.

Oh okay then that doesn't sound so bad. They'll probably change it again by time I start playing again lol

Yeah. really they're just doing that because of pvp, which usually is the basis of nerfs/buffs of any kind.

The guy who writes Arcane Brilliance (Mage blog) has a similar schtick going about hating on warlocks. It's funny.

I love that

Here's one of his latest posts:

While we hunters are normally a well-grounded class that doesn't hold with them demon summoners and the other freaks who mess with the arcane energies of the universe, we've been known to make an occasional exception. We'll take warlock cookies, and we'll accept the dangers of enchanting when it makes our gear even more badass.

Everyone hates warlocks. xD

Then again, I can't tolerate playing a mage or pally. I've tried, really. Got both classes to tenish. Then I just kinda bashed my head into my desk. To be fair, it was pre-Cata. They may be better.

My first WoW toon was a Draenei ice mage. I liked her a lot but I also died a LOT and got tired of it. With the Cata changes, ice mages get a pet now and I'd expect them to be somewhat less squishy. Perhaps once I've gotten Rae to 85 I'll take another look at the mages but I'm trying to keep my alt-aholism in check for now.
