Hello fellow hunters :smile: .
When it comes to soloing we know that hunters are one of the better classes (if not THE class) to do the job. Kiting, splitting mob groups, Aggro-Ping-Pong thanks to Feign Death and so on. We have seen "Hunter vs. World" to get an idea of what a hunter is capable of.
Now, whenever I watch a video about a Vanilla hunter soloing something, s/he is either overleveled for the dungeon or has quite awesome gear.
My question regarding this is: do you think it is possible for a hunter during the leveling phase to solo dungeons at the appropriate level (meaning not being higher than the endboss and killing every boss there is)? For example, could it be possible for a 21 hunter to clear Deadmines? Or a level 26 clearing SFK?
I have tried some dungeons (Razorfen Kraul, Gnomeregan and Stockades) without any preparation or awesome equipment (quest greens, maybe one or two blues) and got quite far. My thoughts are, that with the right amount of preparation it should be possible for a hunter to solo even way more than that.
My thoughts so far:
- one of your professions should be Engineering. Having a target dummy, stun grenades and all that engi-only goodies can help quite a lot
- Skill tree: I am thinking of some weird shit like this: http://armory.twinstar.cz/talent-ca...500320000000000505510005130302305002010000000
This build has some useful things from every tree, but I never tested that. This is something to be discussed...
- You need pet healing equipment (yes, you really do :w00t: ). A tank pet with Shell Shield can eat quite a good amount of damage until your next Mend Pet is necessary. But mana is a problem when the fight takes longer.
- Enchantings/Engineering goodies shouldn't be too powerful to make it more of a challenge :whistling:. With level 21 it is theoretically possible to have everything up to Engi skill 225 and any enchants there are. This should be limited
Yeah, these are my thoughts about this One-Hunter-Army so far. What do guys think? Have you made any experience with low level soloing?
