Questions regarding end game raiding ~

[dezzieace]

Hey guys for my alt I'm trying to decide between a mage or a hunter. I have some questions regarding hunters in end game raiding:

1. Are hunters sought after or is there an abundance of hunters that it makes it hard to get into a guild or group?

2. How does hunter damage compare with other damage dealers? Can we top meters if were skilled enough or get top 5?

Thank you for your answers =)

1. I believe hunter is the 4th most played class or so, so we don't have the same difficulty getting into raids as warrior and rogues do, but for dungeons people will often look for casters instead.

2. When guilds had just started raiding on this server we could pull top dps every now and then, but hunters don't scale as well with new content/items as other classes do so unfortunately we just drop lower and lower on the dps meters as the server progresses. Any well geared fury/rogue who isn't beating hunters at this point should be embarrassed :^)

Hunters can consistently reach mid-upper of DPS meters w/proper gearing, specc, rotation, and consumables use including keeping mana topped up to allow uninterrupted flow of DPS rotation. Not likely to beat good rogues/fury warrs, but are still damn competitive if played intelligently and diligently.
