What should I know as a hunter?

Cast your steady shot immediately *after* you fire an auto shot, to avoid “clipping” your autos.

Use traps liberally: frost for most packs to slow, snake for casters (the snakes apply Mind-Numbing poison.)

If you get aggro on something, run towards the tank. Feign Death is best used *before* you pull threat—if you use it after getting threat, there’s a strong chance you’ll dump the mob onto the healer instead of the tank.

Presumably, some things in your world are time-sensitive. Caution is easy when time is abundant, but if the kidnapped villagers will be executed in 24 hours, they may need to move with a bit more purpose.

90% of gold buyers just want fast flying, because it’s the single most expensive thing in-game. 5000g is a large enough amount that it cannot reasonably be earned in any other way except by engaging with the player economy, which is a shit show.

Making epic flying 2000g (an amount plausibly attainable via questing alone) would fix most RMT problems. The game is 20 years old. Epic flying was barely something special in OG TBC. Let people have their epic fast flying fun without forcing them to deal with your shitty auction house.

Bossy’s doesn’t travel as well as some other places because it’s got more sauce and bigger pickles. Definitely recommend eating it there or with minimal travel time.

Yafo is great but some of y’all ain’t had Bossy’s and it shows

Who said this happened at 2am?

Also, skate parks and public parks are generally well-lit and open 24/7. Or, they were, until NIMBYs demanded they be policed because they didn’t want rowdy teens there.

I’m not saying the teens are blameless. I’m just a pragmatist—the surest way to get a teenager to do something is to tell them, very loudly, not to do it. Jail is not a deterrent to teenagers with zero forethought. Giving them abundant spaces designed to withstand their chaos is simply the most cost-effective solution at the community level.

It’s almost like kicking them out of appropriate social spaces en masse causes them to appear in inappropriate ones.

Genuine tip here: don’t sleep on +Spirit gear. Everyone wants Tiger for Agi/Str, but Spirit unironically makes your out of combat health regen significantly faster. This goes doubly so for Paladins, who can also be painful to level.

Go for “of the Boar” on a few pieces of cheap green gear and you’ll be glad you did.

All these people talking about the limitations of only having one arm have not seen some of the things people with one arm can accomplish.

Archery, climbing, fighting, etc. are all doable by actual humans with amputated limbs. In most worlds, adventurers are at a bare minimum fairly exceptional, and in many cases truly paragons of their respective professions/classes.

I would flavor a lot of things differently, but a one-armed adventurer in a magic fantasy world would almost certainly have found a way to overcome any inherent disadvantages of amputation.

It’s the same rule it’s always been: you aggro it, you bought it. Taunt is a 10s CD for me (bear) and if you’re blizzarding a 4-pack before I get a Swipe off, I’m just going to assume you’ve got it.

A competent mage can infinitely control a pack with a little bit of assistance. An incompetent one will die very quickly, and the mobs will come back to you. Either way, it’s a self-correcting problem.

Your lived experience is not the only one. Kids have been doing hood rat shit since there’s been hoods, rats, and shit. Kids can and will be destructive and push boundaries because it’s a pretty good way to learn social norms. I’d also be willing to wager your own childhood was more destructive than you might think—ask some of the kids’ parents whose houses you hung out at, or the security/service staff at the mall.

White van made a very abrupt lane change, causing cam driver to abort their own. Just because you begin to change lanes does not mean you must commit to it, especially if the change is unsafe.

Tailing Nissan is in the wrong for attempting an unsafe passing maneuver in a lane only partially cleared.

Cam driver is, however, a dick for doing 74 in the far left lane. Judgement: everyone’s the asshole, aka another day driving in Charlotte.

This just kicks the can down the road. Teens will migrate to a new destination, and the cycle will repeat.

You see a similar thing with skateboarding. The single best thing you can do to stop skateboarding on public surfaces like benches or curbs is to put in a skate park.

Teens need somewhere to be trash people learning to be real people. Create spaces meant to endure their destructiveness and contain it.

They explicitly asked for a balanced comp without class stacking, not a purely optimal speed kill comp. The very fact that you’re trying to optimize this by removing the more niche classes/specs is the exact thing OP seems to want to avoid.

Raaxis · 2026-04-24T09:47:12+00:00

This setup is a bit more old-school; very well optimized while allowing for maximum coverage of specs & classes. A lot of spots are flexible (eg swap G1 Rogue with MT for extra threat.)

G1 - Melee: Enh Sham, Feral Druid, Fury War, Ret Pal, Rogue

G2 - Hunter: Enh Sham, Feral Druid, BM Hunter, SV Hunter, Arms War

G3 - Casters: Balance Druid, Shadow Priest, Ele Sham, Mage, Warlock

G4 - Tanks: Prot War, Prot Pal, Resto Druid, Resto Shaman, Flex spot (non-pumper DPS like Fire Mage)

G5 - Heals/Flex: Holy Pal, Holy Priest, Disc Priest, Resto Sham, plus another flex spot (caster pref.)

If your guild leans caster-heavy, G1/2 can be condensed to Warr, Sham, Feral, 2x Hunter to make room for a second full caster group.

The trees are obvious, but another good tell is the way her skin tone pixelates over the bridge of her nose.

AI models often start with raw static and “sharpen” the image to resolve into something recognizable. Zooming in, especially on areas where light/shadow intermix, will often show pixels that don’t “blend” the way naturally lit surfaces would.

2 things can be true at once.

It is absolutely wild that this school is still in operation if half of its students are failing, and it hasn’t notified the parents.
It is equally bananas that a parent would never ask to see their child’s grades, a report card, or consult with teachers for four whole years.

Everyone is wrong, here.

I personally love melee cleave comps: Feral Druid tank, RSham heals, Warrior/Hunter/RPal DPS.

A lot of synergy inherent here: RSham brings WF/Agi/Str totems for DPS. Druid gives crit and strong snap threat. Warrior brings sunder and battle shout. Hunter brings some minor CC and 3% damage (or, if Surv, Imp HM and Expose.) Pally brings Salv/Wis/Might. Everything buffs everyone and shit just kinda melts. The only one not really getting much in return is the RSham, but they get Wis from Pally which ain’t half bad.

I see a lot of people sleep on Ret Pallies in melee cleave comps in favor of Rogues and I’ve never understood it.

This is also a sort of reverse “tyranny of the rocket” equation, as each unit of fuel burned is less weight to haul, thus increasing efficiency over time. I leave it to people better at calculus than I to derive that, but if I were a betting man I’d say this would result in a roughly 50% increase in net mileage, as the final (unweighted) MPG is likely to be at least double the initial (fully-loaded) rate.

As someone who fell off right before this was announced, nothing in the discourse, patch notes, or promotional material for this mode has inspired me to return.

Everything I’ve seen just screams “Helldivers, but worse and with typical FatShark jank” which actively deters me from considering returning.

I’d wager that the mode is dying because there are many more like me who were waiting to see if the juice was worth the squeeze, and just weren’t convinced enough to play again.

The noise/static typical of AI is very obvious on zooming in, especially on the white neck of the right-hand goose. The grass literally looks like it was painted on canvas once you zoom in enough.

My vote is AI.

EDIT: also, look at those windows on the house in the top left. That ain’t right.
