Your gonna love this. I know I liked it.
50 reasons hunters are better than every other class

1. Any raid buff that matters, hunters can bring. In fact, those vital raid buffs are so trivial a thing to us that we delegate the task of bringing any raid buff you need to our pets.
2. Ghostcrawler thinks that hunters are just awesome.
3. Hunters are uncommonly good-looking.
4. Hunters are not warlocks.
5. Hunters can kite like the wind, like some scion of Hermes, like a paragon of speed and skill. We can keep our targets slowed indefinitely while boosting our speed and DPSing the entire time. We can kite multiple targets; we can kite in circles or sideways.
6. Hunters can stealth, too.
7. Hunters can solo an amazing variety of content that was never meant to be defeated by a single character. While we enjoy the company of the support classes, we don't need them.
8. Hunters shoot things. I mean, come on.
9. Hunters can combat rez: FD + jumper cables.
10. Hunters have a better community of players and resources than any other class. Our class is filled with awesome players and researchers who don't just have mad skills, but they freely share their knowledge with other hunters. We have Zeherah and Mania and Kripparrian, and the list goes on and on. In fact, our community is so awesome that we need to dedicate an entire post just to that. Maybe with a video. And a song.
11. Hunters can look like predator.
12. It's impossible to stay angry at a hunter. We have tranq shot.
13. Hunters have pets, a stable of 25 of them in a myriad of shapes and sizes and colors. The world is our pet store. Though we may travel to the ends of the land and beyond the Dark Portal, across the snows of Northrend and through the Maelstrom itself, a hunter is never alone.
14. Chicks dig pets.
15. Hunters don't have to stare at a boss' butt cheek or have our view marred by silly explosions or convoluted raid frames. Every fight is a cinematic panorama laid out before us, a feast for our eyes.
16. Hunters have lower repair bills than you.
17. Tracking. Once you play with tracking, you'll never be able to truly enjoy any other class.
18. Beer, bullets, beards.
19. Hunters can tank too. I don't know why you think it's so hard -- even our pets can do it.
20. Hunter pets can breathe fire. Yours is an authenticator.
21. Hunters are not death knights.
22. Any buff you have, hunters can take away.
23. Every weapon in the game was designed for hunters. Yes, even maces. We give them to our pets to play with.
24. Hunters have an unstoppable in-game army, the WHU guild, who experience the true meaning of epic.
25. Hunters have flare, which can instantly remove the primary advantage of pesky rogues and feral druids.
26. Hunters have only one shot that has a cast time. We can cast that one on the move, too.
27. Leveling for a hunter is a joyous expression of our ability to wreak death and devastation. We can run through a zone, tag everything in it, set our pets to tanking it while we grab more to finish off at our leisure. You could almost say hunters were built for leveling, if it weren't for the evident fact that we were so clearly built for doing everything else too.
28. Hunters don't allow gnomes.
29. Hunters don't even need to be within range of you or even be able to see you to kill you. We just give the command to our pets and continue to sip our mai tais.
30. Dinosaurs.
31. In addition to good looks and brilliant minds, hunters are incredibly humble.
32. Hunters don't care about threat. In fact, why don't you have it instead?
33. Hunters have literally tamed Ghostcrawler.
34. Hunters have transcended mana. We never run out of our resource, and we never have to stop shooting.
35. Hunters can interrupt.
36. Hunters can CC anything that your class can CC, or any other class. We can probably do it for longer, too. Oh, and we can also CC that other guy at the same time. And that one too. You know ... Why are you guys even here?
37. Hunters have three specs. All three can out-DPS you.
38. Jump-Disengage. It's like Blink, only awesomely badass.
39. Hunters are irresistible to female discipline priests.
40. Hunters can make you move faster. If you piss us off, we can move faster without helping you.
41. Hunters don't have any reason to have to level archaeology. You poor saps.
42. Hunters are not ret pallies.
43. Getting hit capped is so easy for hunters, we reforge that pesky excess hit rating away.
44. Hunters are the only class that actually pew pews. That leaves only QQ for the rest.
45. Dancing pets.
46. Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes? Because we're f'ing hunters!
47. Studies have proven that hunters have a higher IQ than any other class. (source)
48. Remember those murlocs that used to own you when you were little? We killed them and wear their skinned pelts.
49. Hunters can heal, too. I don't know why you think it's so hard -- even our pets can do it.
50. Hunters Rhok out with our Loks out.

Some of those are not that good stupid even. I like warlocks. Some are good allso. The one about hunters being the smartest class is a bit silly as theres heaps of dumb hunters out there in the wild.

Eh, not really that fun. Hunters are pretty much the easiest clas to kill in PvP, and a lot of them are stupid. Warlovks and mages are much more awesome!

I found another incorrect one on there. We do not have lower repair bills than plate. If I recall correctly, Blizzard normalized repairs so that we all pay at the same rate as plate or something like that.

Of course, I'm probably reading that wrong and it means that when we FD we sometimes avoid death and don't have to pay a repair bill. >_>

Yah but they can solo stuff that others classes wouldn't think of trying. The quest "Huge problem" in Tol bard. I can solo this with a normal pet as long as I can get my heals up all the time on the pet. It's much easier to do when you have a tanking pet. I might be able to do it on my druid by kiting him but it wouldn't be very practical as It would take a long time. Hunter's being able to heal and having the pet do it is unique to BM and I love it. It's saved my skin countless times. Lvling up my druid to 85 was not as fun as lvling up my Hunter was. Druids can heal themselves but do take quite the beating. Even in Boomkin form I'm pushing my luck if I have 2 guys beating me at the same time. If I have full health when before then I can walk out of it but even then it depends if there melee or casters. I think the large amount of dodge the hunters have helps alot. If this happens as a hunter ? Ops .. Send the pet in to pull off aggo or freeze trap him. Hunters in pve are hard to kill if you don't have to many mobs on you.

Don't take these out of context, read the article on wow insider
(http://wow.joystiq.com/2011/01/13/scatt ... her-class/)

It's from Frostheim and he got a good sense of humor.
Just don't take this too serious (but he speaks the truth!) ;)

Yeah, it's supposed to be silly.

That said, my list is: Feral Druids > Locks > Hunters >Whatever's left.

I'd switch it to Feral Druids > Hunters > Mages > Anything else...

*high-fives*

At least we can both agree that ferals are win. I tried a mage pre-Cata, and was like, "AUGH. TOO SQUISHY." so I deleted her and turned her into a lock instead, cause of the demons. At that point, I had tried locks before and was miffed. I got her to...25 or so pre-Cata. Then Cata hit and I got Maxwell...

Haven't looked back at mages since. I love my felguard. xD

Try being a gnome mage....gnome female mages are UBER cute. x3

Yus. Feral Druids. We get so little love. *sniff* only druids that get any spotlight or trees and chickens.

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?

Now only if i could replace my mage's Water Elemental with my Jadefang, I would agree with the Mage aspect :)

Heck the Mage-Jadefang can do frostbolts for all I care just like the WE, oh to dream...

You know you've been playing your lock too much...

When you remember this thread and think, "Of course locks aren't hunters! We're infinitely better!"

What has warlock-ing done to me? D:

That's a better list. The locks are not like they used to be anymore. You can actually live through there dots and possibly kill them before they kill you. The mages and feral druids are right up there on the insane dps right now.
