Hunters and Spiders and Paladins OH MY.

Ihasfury cowering in fear of how OP Hunters are <3


Well, in dueling people like hunters, you really, REALLY want hamstring or something. I can officially say warriors have the shortest end of the stick when it comes to crowd control and keeping your enemies close to you. If you do plan on fighting a hunter, you want to charge at him. Once he stuns you with either scatter or his pet's stun or snare. Instantly pop your insignia, you should still be within 10 yards of your target(s). Once that happens, use your Piercing Howl ability to slow him down as much as you can. If he uses Stun Shot, your slowed too. You can use Heroic Throw to do some damage. However; all you can do is sit there and try to land attacks. You need to be in their face to do some damage in order to take these mofos down. In my experience, you want to use your two handed weapon rather than your dual wield. You need to pump out as much damage as you can before you get killed.



In short; your screwed no matter how you look at it. Just try to get as close as you can, use your CDs to your advantage, however use Heroic Throw sparingly, it resets your white attacks.

Ihasfury completely failing at being /rude to this Holy Paladin.


Next, we take a look at holy paladins. Now, like last time, 1 second before the duel starts, use your shout that instantly gives you 20 rage. Once you do that, the duel should start and then you open with charge and Bloodthirst. From there, I used Piercing Howl to keep him close the first time while I slammed my mining pick into his sides. The thing that will really kill you when fighting paladins are their near insta-heals and the random 5 second stun. When you see them start to hit Exorcism, it is game over unless you can get behind them to give them the LoS error. If you are not within melee range when the paladin is below 150~ hp, and you see or think he is about to cast a heal use Heroic Throw and try to kill him. If you want to try to get into melee range to try to slap him across the face with your 2 handed weapon then by all means. In my experience when dealing with classes that heal, you want to push as much damage out as possible.

In short; deal out as much damage as possible, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
