[PvP] Warrior vs. Hunter

Go.

warrior w/ paladin

I'm not sure if I made this thread with that title and OP to get some discussion or simply to see how people will interpret it. Oh well, it'll be more amusing with the latter than a former.

scatter shot. ice trap.. build distance.... see a something shiny look at it... file nails.. Press X and sit... aim shot,arcane shot,serpent sting, multi shot. concussive.. pop rapid fire. wing clip auto shot... wait for intercept escape change aspect... Arcane shot concussive muilty

GG.

I win vs. hunters 1v1 about 70% of the time. Little harder when they get the first shot.

yeah the trick to beating huntesr is geting close. Funny how the fucking beast spec'd ones are bitch cuz you cant hamstring em ><

basically you hae to watch for the freeze traps and make sure you charge from an angle instead of heading straight towards them.

pre-tbc i used to always own hunters. TBC has made them a bitch. Also Shield Reflect will block their freeze trap (though doesnt reflect it :( so if you can kick that in before you charge/intercept, it's a good way to get to em.

When I was hunting you can see a huge difference between competent warriors and idiots. Idiots were easy to kill, and their gear wasn't even really warrior-oriented. Nearly all the good ones will charge or Rage and Intercept and spam hamstring like it's going out of style. Last I checked the only way to get out of that is Beast Within or popping a trinket. If you were mark you could Scattershot but by the time you get it off you're already hamstrung. And even if they're wing-clipped it's a lot easier for them to intercept again and hamstring you again. And using the Freeze Trap may buy you some time to wear off the hamstring and setup a handful of shots but they always have intercept to go on.

This was a while ago, after warriors got some fixes/buffs but before TBC. I seen all of them bust out of Wing Clip using Intercept without any problems.

A Hunter keeping his wits about him will win 90% of the time if the player levels are comparable. If that Hunter has high-level Engineering, move it to 99% of the time ...

also depends on surrounding...in open field hunter has huge advantage
otherwise tight quarters inside the warrior will do much better.

It still pisses me off as a hunter that the damn intercept still stuns me even though the warrior was caught in my trap 10 feet in front of me.

Honestly it comes down to who gets to who first.
Also a hunter with a boar has one more stun to use to his advantage to by time and distance

Open may not be as advantageous as you may think. With all the running around, if you're in an area with a lot of mobs around you easily aggro a bunch into attacking you, adding to the damage you take. And sure you can FD but with a 30-second cooldown it'll only be a matter of seconds before they re-aggro while you're kiting.

I do need to pick up a boar and the rest of the boar charge ranks (only have rank 1 I think) but all the boars in outlands are all demon.

Tame one of the Ashmane boars near Nethergarde Keep to get rank 3.

True, but they are what? Lvl 50ish? It'll be a pain to level him up to level 70. I just wished there were beast boars in Outlands to tame.

challenging shout. Warrior wins.

any hunter on their game is ready/aware of that.

once combat is engaged with warrior putting the pet on passive stops that.

Yup, they're 48-50 as I recall. It'll be a pain to level him up, but they're worth it.

:D

Giving this a bump rather than making a new one.

Co-worker who plays apparently "owns" as a BM-spec hunter, specifically this one. (http://armory.worldofwarcraft.co m/character-sheet.xml?r=Gnomeregan&n=Nubzilla) You will also note that he is on a PvE server.

He's quite confident no one in the game can beat him, and claims to have bested more than a few of the servers "best classes". He also states in 2v2 arena him and another hunter pretty much crushes everyone they fight, the only exception being a warlock and a shadowpriest but he cited they were clever enough to move behind obstructions to keep out of LoS.

Given the gear, talents, and competence is it true such a hunter could be nigh unstoppable? Or is there a moderately effective counter to a Beastmaster hunter?

One thing I'm more interested in is his claim warriors are not an issue for him. But the hitch to that claim is all the warriors he fights are all prot-specced.

I'll admit it's very likely I suck at PvP, but I ask those who know if any of this could ring true or is this co-worker of mine just overly-confident from being safe from ganking?

get 10k+ hp

150+ resilience

at the minimum

if he's BM, turn on shield wall when he goes red and just LoS him. after that, it's gg

Hunters are the worse class to take to arena in all brackets.

Well, your title could mean a few different things:

Warrior vs Hunter in a duel:

A good hunter will have the upper hand to a good warrior equally geared. This is especially true if they are Beast Mastery spec.

Battleground PVP:

Both classes are fun and easy to play in battlegrounds, neither has the "upper hand" as both tend to do very well.

Arena PVP:

Warriors are one of the best arena classes in the game for all brackets. Hunters are arguably the worst in 2vs2 and 3vs3, but are decent in 5vs5.

Your co-worker seems terrible in PVP based on his arena ratings.
