Hunter smarts...or lack thereof.

Alright, so here's the deal. There's this guy in Verve I've had an issue with for ages, so have a lot of people. He's a known slacker, brags about just about everything, whines and begs for help all the time and pretty much just annoys the crap out of nearly everyone. And he's a hunter.

The real issue that I'm going to bring up is this: He offered to teach shot rotations to other hunters in Verve and he said something that irked me. I know quite well that he's been a marksman hunter for pretty much ever, but he offered to teach Beast Master and Survival hunters their shot rotations. When I began discussing it in the guild chat he clearly had no idea what Beast Masters want in their weaponry or shots.

Firstly, he claimed that auto-shot always has a hidden .5 second cooldown. This is not true. It's only got a hidden .5 second cast time when you first start attacking, after which it fires off without a hitch if you know how to time your shots correctly.

Speaking from a Beast Master's perspective, I like my weapons fast. 2.7 is probably ideal for what I do, but I'm currently using a gun, which I have yet to upgrade from, with a speed of 2.4 seconds. As such, it puts my auto-shot speed at 1.7 seconds, which is a beautiful amount of time to weave in my steady shots between my white DPS, and there is absolutely no clipping using a 1-to-1 ratio.

This person didn't seem to understand that. He just liked the slowest weapon he could find and attempt to teach everyone that slowness is what all hunters should look for in weaponry. As we who are the masters of beasts know, that's bull honky. This guy clearly has no concept of being any type of hunter other than Marksman. I refrained from "putting him in his place" though, cause I don't want to be on bad standing with the guild.

This mostly just boils down to something along the lines of "Don't try to teach something that you have NO IDEA ABOUT." ...ya dolt.

Have I told you how much this person annoys me? Well, on a scale of one to perturbed, I am. You've probably run into someone who does the same to you, so you'll no doubt understand what I'm talking about.

And now I leave. Fare thee well.

Good Hunting,
