what spec for pvpFollow

#1 Oct 19 2008 at 5:18 PM Rating: Decent
so right now i have a 70 hunter and like most hunters i am very succesful in raids but in arena i pretty much get laughed at. none of the other classes really interest me except for DK and recently i have been looking into them quite a bit. so for all you people in the beta which specs are being used for arena PVP? and with said spec are you a primary damage dealer or more of a support class?

The most frequent arena build has down to SS in unholy, then rune tap in blood. It is a damage dealer, but the main goal is to outlast the opponent, not burst them down. Paring with a DK won't improve your hunter arena any, hunters are still the worst arena class in the game, and that's coming from a hunter. :)

I think right now the flavor build is 21/0/50, picking up most of the unholy damage talents, and then the blood defensive talents (such as blade barrier, rune tap, and mark of blood). I like the idea of taking 3 points out of RoR to put into VotTW though. Lose 6% damage on diseased targets, gain 3 expertise, 6% strength, and 6% stamina.

Overall, Unholy or Frost builds are both pretty good, as they offer a bit of control and a bit of burst damage. Blood offers a lot of survivability, which isn't going to keep you from being kited or burst people down when you do get to them. I think frost is a bit more control and unholy is a bit more burst, that's why a lot of people like burst.

I personally am thinking of a 24/47/0 build, which focuses on turning my blood runes into death runes, then keeping them death runes with oblit.

You have got to be joking about hunters being worst arena class. The amount of damage they can put out in a short period of time is phenomenal. I know this because I'm a PoM/Pyro mage and I do 2's with a Marks hunter. We typically can kill one person very fast and make it a 2 on 1 from there. Sometimes he goes BM as well and we have the same result.
