How overpowered are hunters? A selection of random games.

I can say for a fact that a skilled well geared lock can and will beat hunters out on damage done almost every game. However (and this is why hunters are so overpowered) hunters' damage output is much more focused (target by target), unlike locks'. A lock can dot up an entire team and run repeatedly, and even if a few enemies die, the stronger/better ones will not. This isn't saying locks aren't useful, it's just the nature of our damage output. Thus, while a lock can have higher net damage output, hunters have more FOCUSED and USEFUL damage by far.
 
I'm starting to lol so hard over all these hunter discussions. It's seriously too damn funny. It's never changed in the amount of time I've been playing WoW. People will always bitch about the hunter class because they are a class that stands alone in the game. They are able to deal immense amounts of ranged damage without having to worry about cast bars at low levels or even mana efficiency later on, with the addition of aspect of the viper.



Therefore, the hunter class will always be in an advantageous position in comparison to other classes that have to worry about so many other situational factors that could alter their dps/damage. Complaining about it will never change this. It's a mechanic of the game, being that hunters are the only ranged class that deals physical damage. Get over it and stop crying. You play the classes you do because you found it to be enjoyable, if you have a problem with the hunter class being able to out damage you or beat you 1v1 then find a way to beat them.



Too much shit relies on burst nowadays without people thinking of a proper technical way that they could put hunters at a disadvantage. Granted the "deadzone" is no longer a viable option but if you're a caster fighting a hunter keep them in melee range and learn to time your casts properly. Too many fucking noobs gearing up alts, calling them twinks and then being completely clueless how to pvp; thinking that gear alone will make them able to beat anyone.



I'm actually agreeing with Lloydganks this time. I'm getting entirely sick of seeing this kind of stuff. Especially on a forum that I've seen so many people acting like they are infinitely knowledgeable about most classes/gear/situations...

I agree. I must admit that Hunters are easier to play than other classes, especially in 10-19.



Still, theyre not unbeatable. If properly geared and skilled, Warrior can easily sweep any hunter. Same holds true for rogues, but they may need to burn few more CD's to take skilled hunter down.
 
these are fun to play and not to OP if u want a hunter with a bit more challenge ;)

an example (not complete yet)lvl 10 hunt [char="Stormrage"]I%C3%AFl%C3%AFl%C3%AFl%C3%AFl%C3%AFl[/char]



<edit> can someone explain (pm perhaps) how to get a link under a word (so u dont see that long link). I've tried using editor mode but it does not save what I type for some reason.
 
you guys are missing the point...

the scoreboard means nothing !



i used to play with my warrior back then before i leveled it to 29. andmy goal was always to be top 1 in all bracket. always ended up after the hunters. so i noticed how easy it was for a hunter to be top in everything !



reality, a hunter who do not use multishot is rarely first damage. multishotting in a gorup is the strategie. also most of the hunters damage comes from his pet. i said it often, but a hunter without his pet is quite nothing !



there is always a way top the damage with a certain class, and seeing those picture do not show how much a hunter is overpowered, it actually shows how his teams aren't just hunters to begin with. in his picture you can see a lot of non-hunters actually which actually surprises me considering most of you think the BGs are all about hunters. this prooves that hunters aren't that preffered of a class !



by the way...

Priest spam shadow word pain and wands to gain top damage.

warlocks spam dots and wands too

mage spam arcane missiles and wands and arcane explosion when near a big group

warrior tries to rend everyone and use thundercpas to gain top damage.



just by the look of it right now... i'd say the scoreboards means nothing considering nobody ever tries to be top. hunters and rogues are DPS class only, rarely will you CC just to CC. but the other classes cannot try to top damage as their job is otherwise. so in the end the scoreboard only shows the DPS classes as the top and at that only those who actually tried to be top !



number os KB is bullshit, everyone can just come in and take the killing blow.

honorable kills actually shows how much of the fights you've been in.

top damage only shows who tryed to be killing.

those who actually did something are mostly those with flags returns or flag carried !

that's what i'm looking for the most !

Ok! Thank you for posting that! I strongly disagree! Hunters are emberassing when they're on my team! I want my to have a decent amount of skill! Not charge in, take on 3+ people! I like exclamation marks like you!





Seriously, Hunter needs some more CD on their shots. Maybe add talents that decrease the cooldown a little more also.
 
Although I agree that hunters are a bit over whelming, I also think that every other class has their strong points and weaknesses. If a group of pallies came in just like the hunters, they could do the same amount of chaos as hunters do. Worriors are leet as well, hell worriors played right have raped my hunter because i cant get away to use my bow. A pally even at a much lower level like a level 14 pally vs other classes at level 19 seem to have the same amount of chance if geared right. I just think that hunters are the flavor of the month and will continue too until they are just boring to play.

An incredibly well thought out post followed by complete exploration into the stupidity of the human mind. Thank you for posting that! Not to mention how embarrassing to misspell the word emberassing. epic



Hunters are and will always be the class for noobs. (Not everyone playing a hunter is a noob.) Anyone can play one without thought or skill. The good ones shine, how? By being able to run away. This tactic brings certain inalienable comments and frustrations.



The class is unbalanced at low levels because of certain mechanics blizzard has put into the game for End-Game balance. If you can not handle this truth, you should not even bother to continue to pvp at low levels. Hunters will always be there and be that uniquely annoying factor in the battlegrounds. I get venting your frustration, but if it is truly this frustrating you should find another game. Blizzard will not change this aspect of the game.

Because misspelling one word completely shows everyones intelligence, I completely forgot, thanks! Wait nevermind...



How many good hunters do you see per game? Wait I can't tell because i'm fighting 4-5 of them and i'm dead within 10 seconds.



I must be exploring your mind now eh?

it was painfully obvious that he was just mocking the previous poster for mocking the previous poster's post, and now i'm mocking yours

not very well, since i have awareness of the field lulz



yes, hunters kind of screw 19 (and 29) up, but it's not really unplayable.
 
I'm sorry you have so many issues with them. When I face 4-5, 2 are usually dead by time I end up dying or my team shows up. Maybe you should worry about the little things so you can handle the big things.



You could start with spelling while insulting someone with weak satire who is making a valid point with logic and well thought out ideas.

Is this the insult flavor of the week? You couldn't fathom the expanses of my mind child. Go rip off the next weak insult you can't think of on your own. Better yet, stop insulting people and stick to the subject. That was my point. Sorry if you missed it. You seem to not understand quite a few simple things being discussed by the big boys here. You should try just reading and learning. Once you do get your sea-legs you can hopefully bring something worthwhile to the conversation.
