leppergnome,
That is level 8. And that was a great video BRK, especially the examples of huntardism and "sneak attack!". I still hate the pop up adds though at the bottem of the video.

I am a hunter, and I melee for a good reason. There only 3 ranged weapons (bow, gun, and crossbow,) and I want the 4 weapon skills at 400 achievement...but aside from that, awesome video.

I agree with yakface.
Although a level 80 Hunter should never be meleeing except in the direst of circumstances there is also the matter of getting our different weaponskills up if only the get the Master at Arms achievemement.

As a side note Blizz does give us hunters several melee attacks in any spec as well as some survivals spec skills like deflection, counterattack and Savage strikes.

These are useless if we were never meant to do any melee. Disengage is fun and good but a or several well placed Wingclip(s) works miracles in some cases.

For the rest the series is a eye opener for me as a level 80 huntard. If I ever revamp my plans for a Blood Elf Ranger (i.e. petless hunter) the advice will come in handy.

WOAH sneak attack! :P

great episode, i no what u mean about huntards, i know 2 or 3 who got 2 lvl 80 and still just seem 2 always end up in melle, it does actually drive me nuts! i end up yelling at em half the time :P

Speaking of 3 hunter range weapon, I was wondering If Blizz is going to make a Rocket Launcher kind of weapon, I mean, engineers can make rocket launching gloves and there are vehicles (raid) that launch rockets to destroy stuff, so when is hand-held/shoulder-mounted rocket launcher gonna come up? We have guns practically big enough already to be a rocket launcher after all :D

PS: Launcher + Explosice Shot = FTW :D

i have one thing to say to BRK

"you may be saying hunters need to be an gun range al the time

well its also a good idea to level melee skill or your gonna be in trouble in some places in northrend like storm peaks

fighting iron dwarfs on brann's airplane

me doing it wrong has enouth melee skill to do damage and complete quest you who has bin using his gun and bow since level 1 will have low melee skill and fail that quest every time because you cant range in that fight and thus making the plane crash

I pledge to do my part to help huntardism BRK. /salute

XD "DOES IT EVER END!?!?!?!?!?!"

March 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHatell

What happened to BRK being with wowinsider?

March 23, 2009 | Unregistered Commenteromgazeroth

kk keep in mind though, some of us are doing melee for the achievments at lvl 80. That doesn't explain the enchants though. Don't assume every time you see someone doing that way it's becasue they don't know any better.

I usually pick mobs in a relatively safe area that are quite a bit lower than myself.

But yeah, doing it on a reg. basis, not smart.

March 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDreyja

WHOA! SNEAK ATTACK!

Thank you for all your work! I hate seeing hunters out there meleeing! I confront every huntard I see and send them your way :] Keep it up!

March 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSenzir

What's wrong with agility enchants?

March 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAl

Lol, too funny. Good stuff!

March 24, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterskullhill

lol love it

March 24, 2009 | Unregistered Commentercocopuff

NO!!!!!!!!!

March 24, 2009 | Unregistered Commentercocopuff

Your videos a of pretty nice quality, however I feel must comment on your choice of putting down other hunters down, just because this is the way you play the class, doesn't mean that any other way is wrong. If blizzard meant for hunter never to use melee they would have not given them melee abilities.

March 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAlysiumX

NIce video and while I agree w/ you on learning to kite (at least by lvl 70 you should at least be using Misdirection on your pet to keep things away) I sometimes melee just to lvl my skills (polearm, sword, dagger, etc.). So just seeing a hunter not kite doesn't mean they are being a huntard. Indeed they may have a good reason to choose melee.

Would love to see a great keybinding video...

I, for one, can't seem to figure out the interface at all.

Thx

@ Kame:

Perfectly right having to melee on that one, no other way to do it.

Another example is the The Drakkensryd quest.
No way to use ranged either, luckily my weaponskill was as high as it could have been at that point.

Actually in one of the dueling quests (Taking on All Challengers) i went in melee mode as well and dismissed the pet. Being in Vrykull form it felt right doing it that way even if a true melee class would have done much better. Those shieldslams were annoying. :P

Ow yeah. I got the White riding bear the first time I did that one as a daily, awesome.

Wow BRK, you made being Lvl 6 the most exciting level ever!
