We have a lot of threads going around about dealing with hunters. Let's face it with the patch they're even more of a threat then before and they are dropping crazy damage on us Warlocks. Yet we are still the great over powered class, so how do we exactly deal with these foes?
1. Their pet is the main thing that locks tend to not deal with, a lot of us like to cast
far away and be stiff as theres a thread on this
Here. If you stay in one place and
ignore their pet your going to die.
2. Curse of Weakness is your friend, it can lessen the damage and if your affliction you can siphon life the pet.
3. Your Summon has to be attacking the hunter, the hunter having 2 enemies on him at once and you only having the pet. It's a 2 on 1, and this is where you run in like a mad man (or woman) and cast your dots on him, and then send a death coil into him.
If we take it your a 60, the hunter will be near death, then you can hopefully finish him off with searing pain or if your lucky and didn't re-spec all the way down one tree, cast shadowburn and win. The hunter class is an ever growing nuisance that is constantly harrassing us, just make sure your not far away from the hunter, keep it close and personal. Hell if you want to humilate them, add a few whacks with your staff.
