sure. 1v1 they are actually horrible. gods I never thought I would ever write that about WH
I meant gank when u have 3v3 or something like that. when u have friend or 2 and you jump on few destro running to join the zerg. heal debuff is nice for these situation, same as abso + bullet + m1 for burst.
That's premade/group play, I always defined ganking as roaming around solo.
But yes WH excels in group/premade because of their 50% outgoing heal debuff. But once SW gets theirs there will be no reason to play WH over SW in a serious premade.

to be honest, dont do it. stealth is broken (pets can target being stealthed and any crap damage can break your stealth at 90% mostly of times and there is aoe damage fest). also, witch hunter dont have any mechanic to increase their damage like slayers/bw's/engies until t3 where they get +50% crit tactic. atm theyre totally gimped due to stealth mechanic. i hope they will fix it soon.

AoE always broke stealth, but ya pets are annoying. A SH can ruin you for the entire SC by just keeping his pet aggroed on you :^).

I see so many people acting as if lvl 21 is right around the corner. I always thought that we are stuck at 20 for the next time.

WH's are pure love in t3-t4. They really suck in t1-t2 though. The only reason everyone had one in t1 was because the stealth bug allowed for them (and WE's) to kill people ez (+ no lolgroup heals etc). I loved mine on live, but they need their crit tactic and BAL/EW.

Yes, people only played the WH/WE because of the bug.

I'm interested in melee atm after playing ranged chars so much.
White Lions (right now, anyways...) are a strong class, and when played well can be a really great MDPS. I would also estimate that
right now the pet can account for up to 40-ish% of your damage sometimes, despite the pathing.
AP management can be irritating, though. Shadow Warrior AP buff helps, but meh.

The WH/WE ratio has gone down drastically (: there were plenty of t1 scenarios that had 6-7 we's/wh's and a flow of tears on each side. Of course, you're always entitled to your wrong opinion, you seem to enjoy trolling every thread that you see anyways.

Oh dear.....look at what you guys have done.....how long will it take before he realizes just how terrible the class is in terms of polish and working pet ai and is forced to become another perma snare kiter
RIP DrPepper
If you had only waited till WH got more of its abilities and became that ez mode solo class
