So I was pondering a theory for an all Hunter instance group. To clarify, a party of 5 hunters and their pets making their way through an instance. For those of you who have played FFXI, this theory has been derived from the concept of a manaburn party. In theory, it would work (to a degree) but having never tried it, I was hoping that someone might have some insight to my idea. Here's the way I would envision it working:
Starting Necessities:
5 Hunters (around the same level)
Tanking Pets (Gorilla being the ideal because of it's AoE attack, I think)
All hunters being specc'd BM
Each player being able to cure/bandage themselves in times of need.
General Thoughts
-All hunters will be responsible for their own CC (utilizing Freeze Trap, Feign Death, Disengage, etc).
-All Hunters will be responsible for their own hate (utilizing the aforementioned abilities including Misdirection, Deterrence, Intimidation, Bestial Wrath, etc).
Battle Plan
1. Team leader will mark each enemy within a single encounter (all enemies that will need to be killed before the players can rest again) with a symbol.
2. Each Hunter is assigned a symbol.
3. On the team leaders command, each hunter sends their pet to engage the mob with their mark.
4. All Hunters engage the same single target with their ranged attacks (defined by the leader).
5. After killing one mob, you move onto the next.
6. Continue until all have been defeated.
7. Rinse and repeat.
Possible Alternative
Instead of engaging mobs one at a time, every Hunter will use Volley.
Ending Thoughts
A few things to keep in mind.
-I have no idea if this has already been tried, tested, etc. and I apologize if I have just beaten a dead horse!
-I am NOT in any way an instance master. Hell, I probably haven't even done the majority of them.
-I am not a Hunter master either. I'm currently only level 71 with crappy gear :).
-Their may be much better ways to do this and I am open to hear all thoughts!
-I'm not sure if this is even practical/feasible and would love to get feedback!
In nutshell, that's the theory I was thinking through. What do you all have to say?
