[Witch Hunter] Want to give it a try

[Krieg92]

So basically I love WHFB With Hunters so naturally I want to play them. I love the lore and especially the armor/weapons. I mainly play tanks (main is a BG and a BO) and I want try out some MDPS. Now I know it is said to be a VERY hard class to learn etc, but I feel like I can learn it. Does anyone have some tips as far as builds, guides, videos, what abilities to use/ignore or anything to help me become a decent WH? I would greatly appreciate it! Can't wait to see you all in game.

Lol, who told you that? Stealth, starter, stun, filler, finisher. It's one of the easiest careers to play. SM/BO are tricky- WH is cake.

Their are 2 "core" builds

The first is the classic solo WH ganking build

The other is build is the more grp focused build

You can choose to either grab burn away lies or exit wound the latter is possible one of the best single target debuffs in the game but you can get the same effect with an sm spamming stat steal

I asked in game how it was for a newer player, and I was told that they either suck, or are super hard to master.

Even the solo build would seem to have a place in groups. Quickly burn down a caster or healer then run back behind your guys.

Kinda depends on what your goal is...

In group, they are harder to play than Slayer/WL. They are squishier, need to position better, rely on CD management (seal + feinted positioning) a lot more and they have no charge/pounce.

Solo, they are easy, as it is literally : open-torment-KD-tormentx2-finisher = dead target.

Haha so many wh's masters here.. Krieg dont listen this newbs, wh is harder class to play defenetly. Becouse to kill 1-3 people you must think fast, you must do fast and after all you must hide before you'll get notice. After that you need a lot of chemistry - potions and etc. And different tactic to kill each class.

Because incomming and outgoing heal debuffs stack for a max 75% heal debuff in healers it's better for taking on healers

No one really wants an mdps on their team with out an inc HD

Vs other grps you cannot "burst down a target" because of coordinated heal/cleanse and guard swapping and with pulls roots and snares, their not going to just let you kill a grp mate then run back to your team unless their bads

Ah I see, just a bit of practice and I should be good. Just have to get past the low levels
