wow in the same thread not only did I see a post that said Priests cant solo, but Hunters are basically gimp.
There are more wow noobs out there than just the OP, and if I were you diablos i wouldnt listen to a damn thing they said. If anything WoW is as close as any mmorpg will come to having every class kicks ass. I've had a hunter, druid, pally, and warlock, all of them can level with ease up to 60 (warlocks have to farm tho). As far as pve goes you cant go wrong, fastest farmers are rogues and hunters tho, mages kill fast but they have to restore large amts of mana after a couple fights if not one paladins will NEVER die unless some cheap add comes but they kill SLOW.
PVP hunters are the most versatile, with their ability to kite, track, confuse, snare, dot, trap, stun,ok you get the point. Basically priests and mages are your only threat. Rogue gets close on you? wing clip his ass, same goes for warriors and pallys. Shamans just make em burn their mana and blast em to nothing you never have to get close to them, druids...catch em off guard. Not to mention Hunters are getting all new talents that just made the most versatile class in pvp perhaps the best outright you can check em out on Worldofwarcraft.com and use the talent calculator. You can augment two of your three class aspects off the charts so if you want to be a badass marksmen with a badass pet you can, or if you wanna be a melee hunter that cant take in close action and have a bad ass pet you can, or you can be IF YOU WANT a hunter without need of a pet with pimp marksmen skills and good melee skills, its retarded. Just remember that your hunter is not for the front lines and you'll become the bane of everyones existence.
