Anti-hunter

[rsq]

I really think with the exception of Mages, Shamans, Feral Druids, and Warriors any class can be a somewhat decent anti-hunter 1v1.

I would pick whatever class you enjoy playing the most and learn strategies to fighting hunters. That being said, I think Disc Priests, Prot Pallies, and smart Rogues/Warlocks are the best suited to killing hunters in a one on one. Disc probably do the best.

Also, totally off-topic, did you ever play on Thunderlord? I realize Devlyn isnt the most unique name ever but I had a friend there with the name from vanilla/tbc.

Druid is still very good anti-hunter at 24. 30% movement speed and 50% slow on mangle, very good, as well as pretty high damage ability, ravage to the boot.

This'll all get changed in Mists though, if I were you I'd check the new talent calculators to see what I would reroll.

If you roll a 24: mages, hpals (kinda op vs every class), or disc priest
If you roll 20: hunter, hpal (although very overpopulated in horde) or a shammy (wont 1v1 a hunt but normally survives long enough for backup)

These are my hardest classes to 1v1 and priests arent an option at 20 imo as their shield is being brought to to lv 22 and if druid doesn't change how they're looking they will me the best class vs everything in MoP and people will start making threads for the anti-druid

 

[chrij23]

a rogue in good hands its an antihunter, however disc priest and prot paladins do well too

 

[Stamm]

Boomkins or ferals (lv 22 for feral)

 

[youakim]

I maintain that a Disc Priest is the strongest hunter counter in existance at this level

 

[Thor]

youakim is right... You don't need a thread... you need a F2P disc priest / protection paladin / holy paladin / druid now and a F2P protection/holy paladin or druid in MoP. Atm disc priest rules.

Prots are the true antidote to hunters. That is, you can lock them up fairly well and they have a very hard time killing you. A fully geared prot will win against a hunter in duels and in BGs u are the true survivalist..

please tell me how? if the hunter stays out of hoj and exo range the pally will just oom and die.

But to be honest, there is nothing that can really piss off a 24 hunter. They are extremely OP and 1 on 1 u will not be able to make a big difference against them. Except a prot imo.

true, but again how does a prot counter this?

Also, go f2p - p2p is gay and they are outcasts. I dont even like them on my team. Every time I see one I have this image of a 12 year old teenager in his daddys office playing wow

12 year olds are not teenagers, but its normally the 12 year olds that care about having there pixels "outcasted".

Belf Holy Paladin are the best agaisnt hunters.

Hope u are going to play is US server cuz in EU horde already have alot of 24´s.

why belf? you can only silence hunter traps, and 20s dont have them.

While they aren't perfect hunter-stoppers in BGs, straight up 1v1 Resto shamans do fine against hunters with good use of Ghost Wolf/Earthbind. Earth Shield is huge for keeping you up while you close the gap. Resto doesn't have any burst, but their consistent damage is solid if you alternate Flame/Earth Shock, keep Searing Totem down and Primal Strike on CD. It won't be a short fight though, in a BG environment it'll usually be decided by who gets help first.

Your question's definitely been answered though, roll a priest. F2P will be viable, P2P will be GG. For extra lols roll Holy, watch them trinket Chastise and then fear them.

in Mop priest power word; shield is going to be moved to lvl 22? or you meant fort?

 

[youakim]

Mists of Pandaria - Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft Fort at 22, not shield

 

[DubbsBegins]

no class can beat good hunters but
every class can beat bad hunters. (except maybe warriors...)
i recommend Feral Druid

 

[youakim]

Lets not get into this again?

 

[potatoez]

Good holy/disc priests should never have any trouble with even good hunters

And theres no point arguing with dubbs about it because he doesnt want to listen.

But combat rogues DO counter ferals!

 

[MarzRider]

Hunters? What hunters? Roll priest.



Crit chicken in MOP is gonna be goooooood

Awesome info so far, thank you all for your input. I am likely to try most classes, but am leaning towards starting a priest, being my class since vanilla on my main account. Sounds like disc is good, but I've always loved shadow, so I'll see how I go.

Over the years I've played every class, and have preferred specs for each. I will likely roll an arc mage, spriest, enh shammy, fury warr, feral drood and a lock... but not all at once. How would a stam-stacked enh shammy go? Do they have the utility yet at 20?

Keep up the awesome,
Dev

 

[youakim]

Shadow at this level feels nothing like it does at end game, it's an extremely weak spec that has only mind flay to make it unique. Disc does better healing and ​better damage.

i recommend Feral Druid

either this guy is lost, or just really really bias because he plays a feral.
