Witch Hunter are a real pain in the ass for clothies and Are extremely good at ganking solo.
You don't bring much aoe but great for single target

Worst class on order with SM.

Their is no gear for them, you are stuck using calamitous and butchers (no butchers weapons) and the butchers gear sells for like 20g a piece. Haven't seen a single blue or purple sword/pistol.

And secondly the class stinks w/o mastery points, you are essentially walking heal debuff, and once SW get theirs at 21 there will be literally no valid reason to play WH at all. Not to mention WL will be getting pounce too. I hardly ever see WH on my destro character, it's like a finding a leprechaun.

in zerg vs. zerg orvr they are horrible in t2. they do not bring any aoe, need pocket guard to last more than few secs cuz tons of ranged dps everywhere you look.

in gank they are actually nice. same in small scale (scenarios), random fight in the middle of nowhere etc.

they suffer the problem as every other mdps = tons of ranged, need a good team.

You won't gank anyone but undergeared lowbies, or terrible players. You have ZERO reliable CC, and no burst damage in T2. Our snare has a minimum range, and back detection is pure awful.

All you have to do if a WE/WH comes out of stealth from you is snare them, detaunt, and run away then spam /laugh because they can't do anything.

So for melee dps should I go slayer or white lion?

I'm interested in melee atm after playing ranged chars so much.

sure. 1v1 they are actually horrible. gods I never thought I would ever write that about WH :D :D

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.

WL and slayer are even right now I would say, once the level cap is raised to 21 WL will pull far and ahead of all MDPS in the game thanks to pounce.

WLs are good in t2. their lion actually deal some dmg though its pathfinding and speed is still horrible like in old WAR.

you can always play melee engi :D
