Just had a very strange experience in a group inside this delve so I decided to spread my wisdom and make this simple guide to aid all my fellow delve enjoyers.
1)Tank picks up candle.
2)Tank drops candle on the floor away from fire.
3)Tank pulls mob into the candle circle.
4)Dps/Heal follow tank and stay in candle circle.
It makes it a lot easier. I only solo them, but dropping the candle (or the air purifying totem in The Waterworks) helps a lot, as you can run around the circle as much as you want during a fight without running it down. I didnāt realise at first, until someone posted in the forums, but itās a delve changer.
Same as OP, I use Guardian with Brann set to healer for tier 8ās. At first I found feral too hard and was using Resto with Brann as a DPS, but after all the buffs/nerfs/changes I found Guardian was good. I havenāt gone back yet to see how feral has changed.
I suppose as a BM hunter with engineering Iām spoiled in a delve like that. I just stand there, let my pet tank, me and Brann heal and easy peasy. Then I use my loot-a-rang to pick up the loot. Hardly any reason to move around.
i play since late vanilla. never heard of that. thanks for the tip! im findin hunter very easy to play in delves and this could be veeeeeeery useful. thanks good sir.
I tried a few tier 8ās on my BM alt and it was definitely faster and easier, albeit I was under-geared, and prone to n00b mistakes because I donāt use that alt a lot (e.g. forgetting to heal my pet until itās too late).
Iāve got my DK and pally to 80, which Iām expecting to be easy, plus my rogue and mage, which I think Iāll struggle with. My Fury Warrior is at 79, and Iām expecting him to ace it.
Yeah, BM hunter is definitely more forgiving when it comes to ilvl.
I did some t7ās on this character this week, when I had 571 ilvl. It wasnāt much of an issue; I could have probably managed an 8, but honestly; this is just an alt and Iām in no hurry. I just want some vault slots mainly.
Having champion gear on my alt in week 2 of a season feels weird, compared to how it used to be.
Youāre welcome!
There is also the āfetchā ability you can get off a vendor as a hunter.
But that works a bit less well (itās slower as your pet runs to the corpses) than the loot-a-rang. Downside is, is that youāll need 70 cataclysm engineering skill, so itās less player friendly for newer engineers.
Wellllā¦
I was actually talking about how I play on my main (a human).
This character doesnāt have engineering (I gave him lvl 1 engineering so he could use the Khaz Algar teleport toy during leveling). He has herbalism/alchemy now. Found chucking potions back pretty on point for a pandaren.
But⦠āFetchā is a good alternative for a hunter without engineering.
