Quote:I beg to differ GG. An effective hunter is a nightmare in the arenas (More noteably in the larger brackets) due to their survivability, utility, and damage a hunter brings to the table. I think that hunters are definitely underrepresented at the moment but looking at the ultra high-end pvp more teams played a hunter than a rogue in the various rounds of the arena tournament so far. While they are subject to all sort of kiting and los tactics by individual members they provide a source of dps that is not easily controlled in any way. I can't count the number of 5v5 matches my (admittedly terrible 1800ish rating) team has lost due to trying to focus a monster in 200-300 resilience sporting at least 12k health with a get out of trouble free BW button to totally ruin our efforts and to top it all off snares for our melee to keep them off of him.
I don't play enough 5v5. In 5v5 yeah they would be more valuable than in the lower stuff but I would still think you want a rogue or a mage over them.
Of course there are a ton of really really really bad hunters out there so that could play a part in how few of them make arenas.
