@ Cynra yeah I can see how in the raid environment a player would sort of forget trapping skills and the like – I remember that some guilds used to have a ‘no pets allowed’ on raids rule when BM did bad dps :(

Another great post about the issues we face as hunters. What frustrates me is that it is hard for me to argue. I have, without a SHRED of doubt, met more foolish hunters than any other class. I think this is for two simple factors: There are more PEOPLE playing hunters than any other class, and it is very easy for the class to screw up (poor pet handling, multishot, etc). It frustrates me to see this article, absolutely. However, to be completely honest, it is hard for me to hold it against the general population for thinking this. I too grow tired of seeing hunters left and right. I just hope players will gravitate to the death knight and allow it to become the 'Deathtard'. Like that? Made it up just now. hah! :) Love the blog. Another great post about the issues we face as hunters. What frustrates me is that it is hard for me to argue.

However, I can see where the term can be applicable. I remember just after the expansion came out every was on equal footing again. Our server had these so-called <i>awesome</i> hunters that everyone looked up to. They were decked out in epics, they topped damage meters, and looked awesome to boot. I had the opportunity to group with some of these people and they were seriously some of the worst hunters that I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. They had gotten so locked into raiding that they had forgotten all about the basics of the class: controlling aggro, trapping, or even pet management. I'd bring my hunter into groups sometimes with these people and preen in my crappy Tier 0.5 (I raided on the perky priestess since I couldn't get my hunter into raids, bleh) as these Tier 2 or even Tier 3 hunters couldn't manage to trap <i>a single mob</i>!

While some folks still need help, its the player not the class that make for bad runs. I see more than a few non-Hunters making stupid mistakes and comments too. Stand in Stormwind near the AH and watch the populace spew filth into the channels. Its depressing. PC Power Play has never been a bastion of sound editorial content.
