http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2010/01/hunter-misunderstood-abilities.jpgWelcome to Scattered Shots (http://www.wow.com/category/scattered-shots/), written by Frostheim of Warcraft Hunters Union (http://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com) and the Hunting Party Podcast. Each week Frostheim uses logic and science mixed with a few mugs of Dwarven Stout to look deep into the Hunter class.
We hunters are a misunderstood class in so many ways. Other classes don't understand how our bond with our pets reaches beyond logic and min-maxing. They don't understand that though our class is insanely easy to solo and level with, we are one of the most difficult ranged DPS classes to play well in raids. They don't understand that we're just, well, cooler than them.
But we're not here today to discuss the mental failings of other classes. We are here to discuss some of the hunter abilities most commonly misunderstood by hunters themselves. Sometimes the problem is the convoluted WoW tooltips that seem deliberately designed to confuse readers. Sometimes our abilities have interesting mechanics that aren't reflected in the tooltips at all, and of course sometimes people just plain misread abilities.
Join me after the cut as we take a look at the three abilities most commonly misunderstood by hunters and explain how they really work. Not a week goes by that I don't get at least one email or comment about every one of these abilities.Continue reading Scattered Shots: The misunderstood hunter abilities (http://www.wow.com/2010/01/25/scattered-shots-the-misunderstood-hunter-abilities/)
