Default Hunter learn how to play your class

Now I am sure there are some good hunters out there but from my perspective as a Guardian most hunters really do not understand how to play the game - particularly the whole issue of 'aggro'

This post - http://community.codemasters.com/for...d.php?t=184676 - is a guide for Guardians but it also explains a lot of information about the whole issue of threat/hate/aggro and I really think many hunters shoudl read it to understand their role in a party.

Thanks

I look at guardians as 'little princesses' like a high maintenance girfriend. They have to be centre of attention. They constantly throw hissie fits and tbh id rather use a good champion, Less maintenance and tend not to blame everyone else for their failings

Thanks
i would love to make a thread named
Guardians stop whining about us hunters and L2p yer own class
instead of complaining on other classes learn to tank so we hunters dont get aggroed
if yer a good tank and love to do your job even the worst hunter shouldnt be able to take aggro of that tank and then you wouldnt have a reason to come here and complain about bad hunters

btw this is hunters home and you "guardian" dont belong here
leave this open for the real hunter problems

How come people allways do everything them self right and others does everything wrong. Maybe they aren't doing it right, but they own ways and want others do the way they like it?

I don't understand why so many ppl think they know they're class so well, and don't even TRY to listen to other classes.

This guardian is giving some helpful advice. I'm sure he/she knows there are good hunters out there who DO know how to play they're class, but its good all the same to hear some views opinions for the ppl who could actually USE that info.

So stop the "i'm a god-hunter, i dont need your advice, and learn to play ur own class comments" when someone is trying to help.

the same of course goes for guardians when they get "friendly" advice on tanking from other classes, they should not just go full out "im the tank, im God, i know everything there is to know".

My point is: there are good players and there are players who could use some help to get good. And that goes for EVERY class.

I've been playing with a guardian friend since level 1, and we've had the luxury of experimenting with managing aggro together. The post rings true; I will add this though-

1. Turn off auto attacks, and learn to toggle it. It's perfectly possible to pull with a hunter, provided you tag the mob once with that attack, and then let the guardian aggro-cycle the mobs. Barbed Arrow isn't recommended, as it often generates more aggro than the tank can grab back rapidly.

2. Keep your distance. A guardian can start a fight, but you can still trigger your focus generation, lay traps and remain in shooting range. However, Guardians; try to resist launching into battle when you're close to the hunter if possible. We have a focus generation bail-out, but there's a cooldown.

3. Skill forwarding is handy for dishing out poison cures, but can often get you into trouble if you're targetting the guardian and they tab through untapped mobs. I've found it best to target the mob, and hope it's concentrating on the guardian when the skill triggers.

so what you are saying here is that people who dont play a class know the class better then the class player its self ?
comon dude
im not telling a tank how to tank how the hell should i tell a tank how to tank if i never even rolled a tank up to 50
see what i mean??

if a tank has rolled a hunter to 50 and he's rerolling a tank and then comes here and tell us how,what we could change to our game play he's verry welcome to do so cause he played the 2 classes

but if you are a tank and just complain cause you lose aggro to a hunter
then stay away from this forum i think we hunter players know our class better then any other class BECAUSE WE ARE ACTUALLY PLAYING ONE!!!
