Neat little Vs Druid trick for the MMFollow

I'd hate to sound like I'm bashing on Warlocks here, but it's really hard for a non-BM Hunter to fight a Warlock.

It's been my experience that in order to beat a Warlock when both your gear is on par, you need to play extremely well. I like to Silence Shot him when he's in the middle of casting a Fear spell, Scatter Shot when he's about to cast another one, and then trinket out of any fears that he manages to get off.

To be honest though, if the Warlock is SL/SL, and you're not BM, you probably don't stand a chance.

Just remember that Feigning can break spell casts. In fact, I've seen one Survival Hunter actually use Readiness, just so he could feign twice in one fight.

I've not tried draining a Warlock's mana, but their mana pool is so high that I'd probably die before I could fully drain it. (Plus they can always tap/drain it back.)

If all else fails, I just whisper the rogue next to me to jump the lock, and when the rogue's busy dying, I go and pew pew at the lock. ^^

What are you using? I got Silencing Shot.. but only last 3 seconds. Scatter is another 3 seconds. I tend to want to use snake trap instead of freeze trap (for fear of PvP trinket), and the fact that it slows down casting and their movement, giving me that extra running away time (but by then I usually have 6 debuffs on me) XD

Stun lock'ing Rogues are irratating. If, and that's IF, I manage to break out of the stun and Scatter/Trap them, I'm usually movement impared... so I try to run, they simply sprint and finish me off :/ I've beat my fair share of Rogues while guarding a tower in EotS, but again some made me look like child's play.

I have the jump, turn around, shoot, land running the inital way I jumped... down pat. I can even do it in WSG tunnels. I have Scatter shot, Arc shot, Concus shot and that Wing clip/Raptor strike macro key binded. When they finally close in on me, I change directions to run thru them, spamming my wingclip/raptor binding.

I do love that feeling where the tides turn. The Warrior I'm kiting suddenly goes from full to 15% HP. Stops.... and runs. That's when ol' Gyf goes from running away, to chasing him. Concussing him to slow him from getting away instead of slowing him from running at me. That's why I'm hooked. Normally, you don't get that kind of a fight (usually 10 people come to my or his aid), but when you do... win or lose that's awesome!.

Warlocks are easy for MM hunters. First thing you do is you Silence shot them as they come running up to you. Stupid fool doesn't know whats about to hit them. Unload with what ever you can. hit them a couple of shots but as soon as silence goes away scatter them. They are stupidly spinning around. Just Aimed shot them and pop rapid fire. They should be dead either right after the Aimed shot or shortly after.

Thats how I drop Warlocks. works really consistantly and works well against shamans too at least the elemental type. reason I say use Aimed shot is for the debuff. if they do survive they won't be able to do anything about it.

If you are BM, as soon as you get out of that stun and lay that trap, hit The Beast Within and you'll lose those movement impairing effects.

That's the only efficient way I've experienced of being able to handle those trinket-hugging rogues.

Scare beast works wonders on druids in animal form. When I was slaving through AV for marks recently I would pick out the druids when they were in the middle of a large group then use it.

Scattershot truly is good stuff. I've made a habit of using it on someone then dropping a trap at their feet.

Wyvern Sting, because of its poison tic, I find is only a good option when you do not see the possibility of a laying a trap in the next 10-20 seconds (and either don't have Readiness or have it on cooldown). Knocks them right out. Typically I use snake or frost trap thereafter on that target because they'll only break right out of freeze.

Specifically when fighting warlocks I find it works best to just lay into them as soon as possible and hope they have no backup. I'll freeze and feign death their pet off me. The mana draining sting, while not really all that effective, is an instant cast. So it can't really hurt. Wing clip (as well as improved) aren't so helpful because of the warlock's ranged nature of DoTs and other attacks. Need to hit them hard and send them reeling. Mana sting, scatter, snake traps, if you can get them to start ******** up you can win.
