The Arena Hunter

    • For a while now I've been watching some high end hunter play at 85, Braindeadly mostly, and began to like the way hunters play in arena. I obviously know they're too OP to compete at 20 in arenas, so I thought to myself, what if hunters werent OP. Then this idea was born, a low damage hunter that would be suitable for arenas. I've been making chardevs left and right trying to get the right balance of stats (hitcap, lower damage, and stamina) to make this project work, and now I've decided I need your guys' opinion on the matter.

    I've been tinking with both factions sets to see which would work best at this stage, and this has what I've come up with:

    chardev 9

    This is your basic setup for an alliance hunter, they obviously benefit slightly compared to horde due to the eyepatch, if anyone would like to create a build that would bring the damage down a bit more, please feel free and leave it here.

    chardev 9

    This is your horde setup, I think it's going to be a bit better then the alliance couterpart, less damage being key here. Again, if anyone thinks they have something better, please feel free to leave it in here.



    So that's it, what do you guys have to think? Could these sets become viable for hunters to play in arenas without being too rediculous? A side note, I've made BiS hunter chardevs, and these 2 sets have less TOP END damage then the LOW END of a BiS hunter.
     
    a lower dmg bow imo

    edit: those hunts would still hit like trucks
     
    Play melee hunter with BaR and no bow. That what I would try in arena, in my hunter had BaR. One problem will be that if your pet dies, because RS has 6 sec cooldown you wont do a lot of damage.
     
    That setup is still way too OP. You'll blow anyone in an Intimidate - KC - SS - Petstun - Scatter. I've about the same gear on my A Hunter, even worse and I can "global" anyone, other than healers in that combo.
     
    I'm a complete imbecile where arena is concerned, so this might be silly, but I'd just test it:

    Take a hunter into arena in that gear, then use slightly worse each arena until you play a game that seems balanced and fun.

    Or take a hunter into arena in white weapons, then use slightly better gear each arena until you play a game that is fun, might be nicer for the non-hunters.
     
    I've started a character and plan on trying this setup. If its too much, ill tweak it down. But I want to arena as a hunter damn it.
     
    Well, if you want more stamina and less damage then I made this chardev for a horde hunter, but I'll have to actually test this in arenas to see if we're possibly gimping their damage too much, though I doubt it.
    chardev 9

    edit: we also dont want their hp too high. is that why you had the protectors band?

    edit agin: where do you want their hp to sit? my chardev has about 100 more health than your but i could easily bring it down more.

    im trying to keep hp unbuffed about average of other f2ps on AP to keep it from being OP just because it has health. but i do like the use of gsoj, might try that out in a new set.



    EDIT: http://chardev.org/profile/399251-f2p-arena-hunter.html this is the new chardev i came up with, tweaked a few things from veinte's chardev, changed the shoulders for more physical mitigation and a bit more crit, as i thought 8% wasnt enough.

    if you want to bring it down to 1422 hp (chardev doesnt factor the chest chant in for some reason) and with 4 more crit just change the chant on the cloak to "of the soldier" instead of stam

    edit: it doesnt change the dps at all

    i think ill leave it as is, as AGM is something that will be out of reach for a while.
     
    sounds good to me, i think im gonna start a toon now too. ive thought about how fun it would be to play a hunter in arena if they did less damage, definitely gonna try this out with you.
     
    I know this comment is highly unconstructive to the debate going on, but Bracers of the Ancient Grove is an alliance only item and it's on everyone's horde chardev:p Feel really petty for pointing that out :p

    In the morning I shall look into making a chardev, cause it does seem like a waste to not include a very large amount of players (who play hunter) in the arena scene. Though they are understandably excluded atm, this is a nice idea!
