Some comments on Hunters

[Bolty]

I send Dog after a target and as soon as he's in range, I [b]manually[b] order Dog to Growl to snag the target's aggro...I've found that I rarely pull aggro off Dog if he gets a two Growl head start....I'm not sure why people think that Growl isn't effective.  Perhaps people don't know to manually Growl a couple of times and wait before starting their barrages.

Bingo. While more Hunter players are getting experienced now, I still see a huge number of Hunters played incorrectly. They die constantly because they just don't understand aggro. They don't understand that they can't just wail away on a target at will, and then complain that "growl sucks."

It's the same thing with Warlocks and their Voidwalkers. Newbie Warlocks always complain that "Torment sucks" because they don't understand how to use it, are unwillingly to *manually* order the Voidwalker to cast it every 4 seconds in battle, and wonder why they keep dying.

Warlocks and Hunters are about micromanagement of pets. If, as a player, you don't like that - don't play one. Mongo, you figured it out quickly. It's sad to see level 30 Hunters/Warlocks who still haven't gotten it. Same with Mages who yell at Warriors for not holding aggro when the instant battle starts, they spam their nuke spells. Duh. :)
