Why does everyone hates hunters?

[Ertial]

Aaaand the hunter haters are back at 37%. After this topic was brought back from the deep caverns it had already sunken too the percentage of hunter haters experienced a small dip, but it's back again now.

So there actually still is quite some resentment against hunters. Why? What makes you hate us?

Hunters are predators. They remove all those who are weak or make too much mistakes. Would you like hyena eating your liver?

What's wrong with hunters? I'll tell you what's wrong.

You pop up out of nowhere just as onslaught has worn off, or when I'm already fighting three other people, and cast ambush on me. You resist spells like nobodie's business (and so does your pet). You're practically impossible to hide from or surprise. Your pet does more damage than I do. To top it off should I manage to get you down to less than half health, you pull off some BS like low profile and run to a safe distance at which you can camo with impugnity as soon as its effect ends. Then you sit down somewhere, heal, and follow me again when I'm trying to put as much distance between us as possible (which incidentally means that I haven't healed and am out of mana).

So far we know what is wrong with You. So what is wrong about hunters?

What's wrong with hunters? Hunters can camo. That's it, it's the only thing people can't stand. Yet nobody is complaining that hunters can have huge DPS. Nobody is complaining about the massive area spells... We DO NOT have them.

Please, before you get all whiny try playing a hunter and get several kills in fort wars. Hunters do what they are made for. If it's such a big deal, go ahead play hunter. Try being the hero leading the charging group...

My impression is that you want to have a fair PvP against attacking hunter, which basically means you want the hunter to sacrifice almost one whole skill tree. I'm all for having PvP against let's say a warlock because it's challenging as never before. But all the talk about balance and stuff while excluding some of the key hunter's spells is funny to say the least.

You hate us because we kill you.

I don't hate hunters in general, but I hate the hunters that repeatedly kill the same grinder over and over when they're at 50% health. It's one thing to hunt down a grinder, uncamo, cheap-shot him and then leave. Those hunters don't bother me at all, after all it's what they're supposed to do. I hate the hunter players that will kill the same grinder repeatedly, over and over. I hate the hunter players that camp grinding spots where players 20 levels below them grind, just to be jerks, even though they only get 1 rp per kill. I have no problem with any other ones.

I have to say most people who feel hunters are over powered usually have a bruised ego to hide. Recently I had a barb in realm chat going on and on about hunters being to powerful and crying that pets should be removed. I simply repeated what he said but replaced hunters with barbs and pets with areas. He went insane started railing about how unfair it was about how weak barbs were against hunters. I pointed out that as a hunter I was killed more by barbs than any other class often even lower lvls than myself. I got the poor boy so upset he slipped up and said why he felt that way. Seems he was defeated in the arena by a hunter and couldnt face the fact that either he didnt know how to properly set up his charachter or that he simply wasnt a very good barb. For him it was simply hunters were overpowered because it couldnt have possibly been his fault he lost. I lose quite often as a hunter and I agree about the hunters that run being the most annoying players in the game. No one likes a coward and there are quite a few people who play that way but I think they are a minority among hunters as most hunters I know despise them as much as anyone for that behavior.

+1 from me. It is basicaly a god mode, and you fluffy muffin, cut this, you have in your sig that you left the game because one of your spells were removed and your answers to other people posting are disrespectful and basicaly personal trips, it is very low.

Any class has a weak point, that when touched, renders that class basicaly helpless - except hunters (low dmg? rather not that low - I think even if hunter could do 150 dmg max they would be impossible to kill with camo/stalker/so much defense and speed and very strong pet that doesn't vanish until killed).

Regards.

Actually, since level 45 almost no hunter (Addaloe ^^) managed to kill me in a pvp when I had more than 3500/4520 hp when the fight started. I don't know if the hunters are doing something wrong or that knights are overpowered, but I don't really see them as gods.

An attack with confuse out of camouflage might be quite nasty, but if you prebuff, you'll have good changes to survive. Camouflage is powerful because it allows hunters to attack unprepared people, so the solution is to be always prepared! Especially conjurers can always keep their hp at a nice high level.
