Ranged DPS?

Hunters are pretty balanced now.
-They take skill to play
-They actively mitigate your team against classes like Rogue/Paladin/Feral without being better than every other class like they were in cata.
-Even Rogues/Paladins/Ferals can even still kill them if played properly
-While they do have an excessive amount of utility, their average DPS balances that out.
-Their defensive abilities are lifesaving/useful without being broken.

The hunters you see doing well in this bracket deserve to do well because it's one of the few classes that only shine when they're played correctly and don't shine when they aren't played correctly, in the current scheme of things.

That's just my opinion though.
 
Wtf Bdruids are you facing...?

What is burst without an interrupt or silence. With healing atm I just find bdruids doing super nice constant damage but otherwise recoverable.

I'm a hunter so I kite them. They can't do, whatever their casting move is that does decent DPS (Star Surge? Star Scream? Optimus Prime?). Instead they chase me across the entire stage killing me with their dots. Can't escape because Travel Form/Power Shifting is completely broken when it comes to getting away from them.

Its not that bad. Soloing druids can be tricky as a hunter (assuming you have everything on cd but with pet stuns and cc its relatively easy to run towards help). Hunters are hella fun in a team scenario where an interrupter or peeler can be crucial. Good burst (as BM) and best utility makes hunter fun. Just stick to a healer and you should have no problem facerolling.

Hunters are good if you want:
dead healers
dead efcs
dps slowed down and cc from fc

A huntard dying to a rogue deserves being labelled huntard. If you can't kite a class with no mobility with all the tools available to hunters you're just a bad. Doesn't mean I don't kill hunters on my rogue though, they haven't really improved much since cata skill wise..

The rest of your post I somewhat agree with, although a hunter played by a nonscrub is closing in on op territory, but I guess that's okay as long as they aren't op when face rolling completely.

Yeah - a BiS balance druid is like buttah baby. Really easy to tab spam and if you're even average at positioning you can hard cast all day (in this bracket anyways).

That and holy pally are too easy.

@ OP if you pick ele sham then please go horde - much better gearing options. You will not have burst but you'll have crazy utility and great movement.
 
stack crit on an holy paladin. exospam, 1200+ HS, and a dispel that removes curses/magic/poisons, what more could you ask for?
 
Rogues have almost no mobility I can easily kite them while in arcane or even fire. Hunters should be fine with rogues.

With rogue burst

I'm not complaining about rogues lol. I feel bad for them having literally no mobility but the fact is rogues can easily 2 shot hunts with 2 quick crits. If they don't 2 shot me I will kite endlessly but 2 shotting is an option with their burst so just because a hunt can die against something that can get 2 quick 800 crits doesn't mean they are a huntard
 
It can go either way depending on the ambush and if the hunter has a cd on disengage or the other bazillion stuns. I'd say the hunter has a big advantage tho 8/10 times.

Since when were crits an option? I'd check yes to that every time if I could.

Thanks Prime! and yes I did make a Shaman on Horde AP, His name is Shampoo. Im level 12 so let me know if anyone wants to run me through RFC ^_^
 
I imagine it's hard economic times for the drink vendors theses days — their only regular customers being high level Discipline Priests.

Or did they fix that? Too lazy to check before posting funny joke; I'm guessing no.
