Hunting down Hunters 10-19 WSG Rogue

MeoMix · 12-03-2006, 05:46 AM

Hi there!
I completely realise that hunters are a pain in the butt to kill as a rogue, but are there any tactics to it other than trying to run through concussive shots and watching where they drop their traps?

I can kill a hunter in a couple of hits if I can get close enough to them, which is plenty possible in a big, chaotic fight. But when its 1v1, if they're any good at all, I will never be able to get close enough to them.

Should I ever kill their pets? I deal about 100 damage a swing, so they drop in 4-5 hits, but is it worth taking the damage from the hunter to stop the damage from the pet??

Forget the pet, kill the hunter.

They can't scatter shot at that level but if they see you at range you'll end up with either Hunter's Mark or Serpent Sting then full of holes.

When I was in that range (as a Hunter) I found that the rogues often went straight for me and too me out first. Stealth up and avoid the traps if you know where they are. I tended to put the trap next to the flag rather than stand on it, but others may do different. If you surprise them then you'll most likely win, especially in the flag room where there's not much room to run about.

get an icy enchant on offhand...I know it's not gonna proc all that much but your MH can get a much better enchant.

Oh come on! CRUSADER on weapon in 10-19 bracket? It is people like you who destroy for others so while we are at it, why dont you twink up with HP enchants so you can just walk up to the hunter and kill him while he shoots at you? /sarcasm.

Twinks like that in 10-19 is just sad.

Now now calm down.

The real question we ought to be asking is... If you are so twinked that you have crusader at all how in the world do you have trouble with any class so much that you need to post here and ask how to deal with them?

The only thing I can think is that you got nothing but + agility,str gear and enchants and that's made you a glass cannon. Keep the crusaders and do the best stamina enchants and gear with the rest and those big mean level 19 hunters with their lil timmy's peashooters won't be able to pick on you any more I promise.

I've played a ton in the low level BG's and hunters are by far the best class untwinked in that bracket, but:

Fully twinked rogue > Fully twinked hunter. and fully twinked warriors and paladins seem to out-preform all.

This might start to be very relevant too with the new patch that will increase the amount of rep in wsg and av.

I would suggest that a rogue running 10-19 BGs with Crudsader enchants should Vanish from the BG.

It really is pathetic that people want to play in the low level BGs, but not with equipment suited for those levels.

Well, I can take a ton of hits I'll give you that, but Concussive Shot can kite me indefinitely, can't it? Sprint/speed potions get negated by it and if he gets out of combat then I have to start watching for traps. But I guess I'm just gonna get flames here, oh well =P

Twinking doesn't bother me. If someone is willing to spend there money on a lvl 19 twink then so be it.

Why do we have the right to tell him/her how to play the game?

Thats right we don't.

No i don't twink, yes i've been killed and killed twinks.

I don't care.

I have a lvl 28 twink, which I will not lvl beyond 29, not until I am exhalted with WSG anyway. It's a lot of fun, and I am certainly not the only one, there are whole guilds of twinks running around on our server.
