destro lock the silent MM in the bracket

[Dragpz]

Destro occupies the same space as Arcane in terms of ranged dps, getting kicked/locked/focused out of your single hard-hitting ability is kinda a near death-sentence. It is pretty fun to chunk 50%+, to near one-shot someone if you're standing in a crowd/not being focused, but other than that playing scum hunter is the way to go

if you die to a destro lock as a hunter, you're a fucking idiot. feign death, turtle, silence, knockback, trap. don't even get me started on nightelf melds or frag grenades. honestly, if you do die, you're probably totally out of position, don't have enemy casting frames, or are generally bad at executing the 5 to 7 stops you have depending on the gear and race.

you missed mentioning the 50+ yard vs 40 yard range

I usually find that when most people claim they can take a survival/mm they are only refering to badly geared ones or they are lying.

There are a few healing specs sure that can do it, but no other dps can. 1200 damage raptor strikes are just where its at on the fat little disgusting kid meter... no other class is dealing with that. Hpal and disco probably, I doubt resto druid/sham can do it versus a truly geared survival/mm... I have yet to see that claim from any resto and then look at the hunter and shake my head at the crap gear state of the hunter.

And that is why it is played, because kids need more, it is just addiction plain and simple.

The only real solace there is are the games where the truly good 1 or 2 hunters in the bracket are on, and just make the other 8 hunters in the game look like they don't even know what game they are in... survivals/mm that usually do great just get shit dps wise on by the one great hunter on their team... I always enjoy going out of my way to point that out to them. Naturally not being able to just list all of the shit tier hunters on the forums is a pain in the ass, but you know who you are when compared to the greats.

Rsham is pretty well equipped to deal with a lot of bullshit, but Rdruid is going to strugggggle. You'd have to play the kite perfectly.

Rsham just depends on if the survival get crit happy, you really have no defense shield and long cool down instants relatively speaking. 2400 to the face after the instants on on a CD is pretty much it, followed up with more damage... just depends on the gear of the hunter.

Spriest. And let a warrior get a lucky SD proc.

You can definitely kill geared twink hunters as destro. Will they win most 1v1s? Of course, they're hunters. If you have GF'd seduce and the hunter doesn't play a trinket (lots don't) or their trinket on is CD they can literally be 2-shot. Conflag > seduce > soulfire crit. Or conflag > seduce > soulfire > cast fear while the SF is in the air > chaos bolt.

My non GF'd warlock also gets 1v1 kills on geared hunters. This usually enrages them and they then tunnel vision me the entire BG. The key is playing essence drain (they do -25% less dmg) + curse of weakness (-20% auto shot speed) and most importantly fake casting their kick with drain life. Most MM hunters will cast aimed shot and spam their kick so it goes off immediately after the AS. So I just stop casting drain life 0.1 seconds before the aimed shot then recast it. I've faked plenty of survival hunters too. 1 fake and they are doing -25% dmg all fight. I need to spinal injector + healthstone if I get kicked, just dead otherwise. The good MM's will scatter shot me at low hp into aimed shot.

I probably win like 40% of 1v1's verse the geared hunter twinks. Usually requires some luck with juking kicks. The bad hunters though...they don't feign death bolts, they kick into my kick immunity or kick fire school, they trap drain life then immediately break it with a auto attack lol. My favorite are the ones who trap poison extraction totem
