So, we all know that WoW has a Rocks-Paper-Scissors kind of setup as far as how classes compare to eachother. My current main is a Mage, and I have never had a Hunter above level 18 (my next project).
However, I have fault them many times and the only ones I win against are the ones so bad that they make me cry.
So, I got to thinking. What class has an advantage over them? All casters are slowed due to their pet (which also eats up a CC, depending on how strong it is). Their Traps and Shots (and Boar Stuns) keep me where THEY want me (mostly).
Maybe a Warrior? But a Warrior will have trouble closing the gap between them, and cannot heal himself. He also has no choice but to kill the pet or allow it to hit him.
Maybe a Paladin? Better, due to the ability to heal and bubble. But, he also suffers from the inability to close the gap and has fewer ranged options than a Warrior. He'd last longer, but would still have some trouble actually winning against a good Hunter.
Maybe a Rogue? Okay, if he gets the jump and stunlocks the (non-BM) Hunter to death before the pet kills him or stuns him.
Warlock? Succy on Hunter with Seduce, kill the pet, Fear-DoT the Hunter? Makes sense to me (as long as the Hunter isn't BM). But Warlocks kill almost everything as well.
Priest? I don't really know much about Priests, but I would imagine a Mana Burn while your pet assaults them would work nicely.
Druid? CC for Pet, but I find it hard to believe that a Boomkin could kill a Hunter that is Mana-Burning it before the Hunter kills it. No Mana for the heals.
Shaman? Only ranged attack long enough couldn't beat the Hunter for DpS. Small, easily-burned Mana pool, only weak CC for pet.
Mage (and I just suck?) Poly the pet and try to take out the Hunter, but he Conc. me and attacks faster, making it hard for me to use anything but instants (which have Cooldowns, and may require smaller ranges.) FN doesn't last long enough to detain the pet. I can CC the hunter and try and take out the pet, but if the Hunter trinkets out before I notice I'm done.
What class gives you trouble? I am really having trouble penetrating this beast of a class. O/_\O
