The survival huntards are coming

[AlisterCrow]

The amount of axe-chucking, harpooning and facerolling hunters in the 19s and 20s brackets are about to increase drastically. What will you do to cope? Are you going to join them and roll a hunter just to stand a chance? Do you have plans to roll a certain spec to counter them? What class/specs are you thinking will be able to 1v1 a surverval hernturr? Is twernking derd? The ernd is nurr!

Druid/Rogue/Hunter as always.

I'll still be rolling as BM Huntard. You need to separate Hunters in your poll above into 2 categories - Real Hunters (BM & Marks) and Pr!ck Huntards (Surv). I'm voting Huntard in the poll above but I won't stoop so low as to switch to Surv. I can't say I haven't been tempted to switch for arena a few times when up against mongrel combo's, but for now I'm still holding on as BM
Surv is and will be even more stupidly broken after tomorrow's shut down!

Fair enough.

19's losing the 3 stack attack, so they wont be that strong outside of flanking strike

 

[Gucciglad]

Going to be trolling hard as shit like I always do.

Still gonna play every class, but cutting back on arms warrior a little due to it losing 2important passives and gaining a useless throw. Might play WW and fire mage more

It'll be interesting to see where enhancement and windwalkers are at. Enhance gaining stormstrike at 20 along with getting wind sheer back and earthbind totem to escape with. I can see horde shamans dropping the scorpid totem first in an attempt to fake out those that would attack their totem. I feel like WW monks will be using disable to get away from survival hunts and heal quite often, but FoF is a beast of a spell, even without the stun.

Arcane will be the ultimate glass cannon and boomy will gain swiftmend along with dash. I'm honestly thinking boomy will be the best ranged class to deal with survival and with the meta changing. IIRC, locks are losing soul leech which may be just enough to make them unable to cope with the burst that will now be more common in the 20-29 bracket.

Rets of course will be the best melee counter to survival hunts.

Sticking to the selfless healer class.

 

[Cincy]

Paladin & Rogue

Keeping the answers short and sweet.

What were those passives again? Haven't played my 20 warrior since the invasions.

Losing tactician (colossus smash will now really have a 45 sec CD with no reset) and execute now only uses 20 rage to deal the same damage as slam

Yeah I'm starting to regret grinding warforged drops during the invasions for my warr now. Hopefully arms will be more viable in the distant future (next major patch or next Xpac). Until then, I've chosen pandaren windwalker as my weapon against the survival hunts.

Still going to be playing my druid, balance or resto, both specs are getting new abilitys. Resto is getting lifebloom and balance is getting sunfire.

Someone's gotta rep holy paladins....

 

[AlisterCrow]

Was leaving rogue out of the list intentional? lol

I felt like I was forgetting something. Fine. Outlaw rerollers get an option too.
