The Arena Hunter

[youakim]

chardev 9
less health, but a little more crit.

 

[Stamm]

Limit yourself to only green gear. This should about even it out.

 

[youakim]

Despite what naked hunters can (and do) accomplish in battlegrounds, gimping their health too much is just not viable in an arena setting with actual skilled players involved. Just look at the amount of intellect we're giving these chardevs, and if their damage isnt gimped enough we'll take some more away.

 

[verh]

I would take away agm, beause I dont this its necessary and tbh i don't think anyone would bother getting it on a hunter geared like that, unless you already have them heh. ._.

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 Feel really petty for pointing that out

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!

totally thought they were horde bracers. ill have to change them, thanks

I'm gonna go with Verh on this one. Without the AGM the hunter would have really similar health to a BiS rogue. Which, conceptually, makes a lot of sense.

Both of those char devs look completely awful for a hunter as we already know, But the sad part is even with this totally gimped set, they will hit like trucks. Even if they were naked, they would still be a force to be reckoned with. If you want to make these more "viable" I would highly suggest taking out pieces with crit rating because that is the last thing i would want to run into. I would also suggest a green bow as a BiS bow is not cool for this setup (at least IMO)

chardev 9 im liking this setup here, is what im probably going to go for.

this is all theorycraft at this stage, and the hunter needs to actually be built to see how bad it really will be.

Have you considered Marksmanship?

I'm a fan. You could also switch out the boots for Corpse Rompers and still be hitcapped with slightly more armor, btw.

Arcane shot benefits from SP, correct? Just curious, that could potentially (?) be a problem.

oh my god, i hope not. i really want this to work.


no, i have not considered marksmanship, thats just an overall awful spec and wouldnt be fun to play.

i understand everyones feelings towards AGM, but thats really something i put on there because its something a twink eventually gets. but in reality, my hunter wouldnt have it, so it's sitting around BiS rogue healthish.

Hello Zack, as for your bracers on the chardev, you should use Bear Bracers - Item - World of Warcraft they're super easy to obtain from a vendor in hillsbrad and possibly other places as i can see.

I think im gonna roll with the uninsured Bracers because of the 3 crit. The original setup only had 8% critical so I bumped it around 11%, great find though!

Just to clarify, arcane shot doesn't scale with int. d(=^.^=)z

And spellpower?

 

[TwinkO]

And spellpower?

All hunter skills benefit only from AP .

*sighs with relief*

 

[youakim]

Naga Heartpiercer feels like a bit too much, this next chardev 9 should be good.

 

[Wuts]

Been thought of a million times, hunters are
Still op lol.
