After reading this I am tempted. At first I was thinking I could level up my 29 hunter to the 39 bracket, but seems like you guys either hate hunters, or are stacked full of them. How are you on paladins? (this is addressed to the 39 alliance guild guys...) I used to have a 19 healadin that rocked pretty hard. I would imagine a 39 paladin would be pretty damn good with the right gear.
Later today I am actually going to upgrade my account to Cata...just waiting on the patch to get to where I can actually login and play. I am looking at options for some awesome fun with a twink!
The thing about hunters is:
1. They don't know about the Banning of Aimed Shot. That can be REALLY irritating to see a hunter cast that on you
2. Having too MANY hunters is just gamebreaking and ruins the entire game for everyone.
3. Having NO hunters is horrible because everyone needs hunters believe it or not. Having a single hunter on D and flaring choke is nearly gamebreaking because it completely shuts off Rogues and Stealthed-Druids from doing any of their Burst dmg.
Imo: It's easy to coordinate with your teammates through vent on how many hunters are in que on both sides(also go to
www.49pvp.com/qlist/ too see a more exact number) So if you want to, make a 39 hunter but pay attention to the # of Hunters in Que, Having No hunters in the game can kind of screw your entire team over but having too many hunters is completely gamebreaking; it's no fun for anyone.
As far as paladins goes, Paladins are(from my horde-perspective) overpopulated on Horde but not so much on alliance. Like I said check
www.49pvp.com/qlist to see a more exact number of how many people/different classes are in que. Having too many paladins isn't as gamebreaking as having too many hunters(from my perspective) but Imo your team benefits SO MUCH from having a flare at choke so by all means, make a 39 hunter but be the bigger man and que with a different twink if there are too many hunters(1 being the mimimum, 3 being the maxmium and your really pushing it at 3). Having at least 2 hunters in your team is perfect because it will protect both your D team and O team from stealthers which no one should be complaining about, even if it's the other team.
Another thing I want to add is Shamans, both sides are low on shamans and shamans have a "flare" of their own. It's called Magma Totem
Shamans are slightly underpopulated(ele/resto being the most unseen) and their Magma Totem is just as valuable as a hunter's Flare.
TBH Make a twink that you know you will enjoy playing no matter what. Me I love playing healers so I made one
Just play the class you love to play the most and you'll make a fine twink
