Nightninja's Melee Hunter Guide

[Cysthen]

Why even take a hunter if they aren't tranqing...

You can still tranq with a Nightfall equipped. On Flamegor I run out and use it and on Chromag I stay out the entire fight. You realize once you learn the fights and have done them a few times you can time these things. That and on Flamegor (the loot piñata) even if your late a second its whatever. It's different on Chromag that's why I stay out. I also have a ranged set.

I guess in my guide I didn't make it super apparent that you can still cast tranq shot. I will add a few more lines in different places reminding the reader of tranq.

Mouse turn > strafe away > cast tranq shot > cast arcane shot > strafe in > spam rotation macro.

Also let it be noted that Chromag always Frenzy's after breath. So perhaps if you are on that side of the rotation between hunters you can Tranq, run in, let the other hunter(s) get the next one then run out for breath repeat. Aspect of the Cheetah recommended.

In what way is a melee hunter a better option over having all of the offtanks not currently tanking do it?

Even if a offtank is using it that doesn't stop the hunter from proccing it, every argument on having a warrior or shaman do it doesn't make the hunter doing it bad. You could even have both if you want to argue that. That and a warrior is not always "not currently tanking". You build more threat with sword and board offtanking of course.

You still proc it just as much when someone else in the raid is using it.
Melee is better than ranging if you have 10+ casters in the raid.

*cough* arcane shot *cough*

much higher Nightfall proc uptime from the Huntard

Truth.

The uptime on the hunter is minimal compared to an OT

I myself have no problems being able to keep Demo/TC up, whilst being able to spam hamstring/overpower for Nightfall procs. Not to mention you're wasting a raidspot..

Can't believe people are taking this seriously

You are not wasting a raid spot. You bring 2 Hunters for Tranq Shot and its higher dps to do this.

rank 1 wing clip and raptor strike provide higher Nightfall uptime than an OT war

shit dude, my Paladin with Seal of the Crusader and haste enchants provide higher uptime than a warrior and I also put up Judgement of Wisdom for caster mana region as well...

[Cysthen]

You better watch out Theloras I don't want to say too much but this Wingclip spam has higher uptime than your Seal of Crusader I would say.

That and you gotta admit Arcane Shot proccing it is kind of awesome.
Running out on certain fights and such.

Yea I know so it's all good man - reminds me of melee hunter with Fiery Retributer and Storm Gauntlets lol

But both of us can agree that we have higher Nightfall proc uptime than an OT warrior.
