Classic hardcore brought up quite a few great channels to start making videos, glad I found yours. The mage series has been great, and this one promises also!
Hell yeah! I'm currently a lvl 54 Orc melee hunter! I got the dungeon crawler achievement too! So don't lose faith looking for a dungeon group. IF you can, get yourself a wolf! That attack damage buff is busted especially when paired with the 20% crit raptor strike.
I actually met this type of player back in Turtle WoW. His name is Ashred from the guild Murky waters. At first I was skeptic that hunters can tank in mid level dungeons (30-50), but he actually does. Probably because he has BiS armor with + healing stats. His pet vulture does 95% of his damage while he's just constantly using mend pet. He told me he wanted to reach 60 by just doing full melee. Although he isn't running on hard core still absolute chad of a player in my opinion. He is either a total masochist, or a fully bogged boogey man. If Ashred sees this, it's me Takeyourtime. :D
I'm not sure if you did this for more difficulty, but Going Dwarf for Melee Hunter is far easier due to starting with Axes, Stoneform and slightly higher stats for a melee. Remember you still get Strength on your melee attack power, So the slightly higher strength on the dwarf is fine.
If my memory serves correct, Agi gives hunter 1 ranged 1 melee AP in vanilla, and STR gives 2 melee AP. When I played Melee hunter YEARS AGO I realized this and focused heavily into str/stam. You really don't lose much dodge if you're using monkey
@@SneedFormerlyChuck some classes have different stat scaling, in Hunters' case: 1 Str = 1 melee AP, so going full Agi/Stam is better (since agi gives 1 ap too and also dodge, armor and crit chance)
@@SneedFormerlyChuck well not only does agi and str give the same melee ap with agi also giving crit/ dodge but I’m pretty sure your pets damage only scales from your ranged ap and str gives no ranged ap with agi giving 2
I've done hunter 0-60 no pet and its harder than no range for sure. Unless you're gimping yourself by going full survival full melee is not too bad. love the content btw
Played my fair bit of melee hunter and i must say that its hella fun. Died at lvl 22 to disc then at lvl 27 to elevatorboss and yesterday at lvl 49 too good ass pure rng. Its fun not only because its challenging but also because it is pretty darn viable until raids. On my 49 character i was literally top dps or top 2 in every dungeon. I did go primarily beastmaster but got crit beast and humanoid and the sweet 20 % raptor and mongoose ctir from the talent savage strikes. This talent(savage strikes), immolation- and exolosive trap is gonna make you do huge damage. Trust me. Melee hunter is slept upon for leveling. Remember to get a weapon the is close to 3s speed but no lower than 3s speed. Raptor strike is 6 sec cooldown, so having a 2.90 two hander is gonna give you much less raptor strikes, cause you gonna auto attack 0.1 sec before cooldown which is gonna make you wait another 2.90 before raptor goes in. Imma try next time and do pure survival tree as well for the challenge😂. But agaim going beastmaster after savage strikes allowes you to go pure damage stats, which is gonna be powrful and fun
I got up to level 32 as a melee/no pet hunter. It's brutal. I didn't die. I just couldn't handle the huge range of damage if I burned mana and got crits versus four misses/parries/dodges in a row.
You shouldve taken a boar from the starting zone for their charge, the initial threat they get should make it easier for them to hold Also screech isn't til like level 16 in westfall iirc
More people should know that through fishing you can easily get the leather required for the engi heads so you can skip leatherworking completely and go straight for mining/engineering
Small correction, Paladin can't pull ranged. I guess you can judge, but the range on that is so ridiculously low that you're face pulling anyway unless you're killing stuff many levels below you.
I did melee hunter without mortal pet in dungeons and still was top DPS, using disengage to lower agro was great, so just join and it will be chill, those big raptor strike crits are awesome to see. I think the most difficult challenge for me tho, was getting the quest achievements, you have to micromanage threat between the pet and yourself.
I was very unlucky on my warr this week and had to grind copper ore veins for about 6ish hours to get my 2 tigereyes. Can't wait till official HC servers are out to finally get acces to the AH. Just my 2 cents about the dropchance of tigereyes. Anyways mad respect for melee hunter, I wish you all luck in the world with that :D
The best way to get to the EK as a night elf is just swim down the coast til your map reads dun murogh and then drown and spirit rez (under level 10 has no consequence) and then walk to IF from Kharanos.
should have just kept the carrion bird as a backup at the stable. essentially the same as owl, with added benefit of eating fish as well as meat, where owl just eats meat.
I think pressing passive was actually a mistake as your pet will despawn if you get too far away from it but bc you made it follow you it got hit for longer and resulted in a death
You have inspired me to consider doing a 1-60 run as a shockadin. Which, would be really painful as no spell mail, plate gear drops till 50, the mana problem is silly and.. i would be auto attacking to 60. But, rpg feels. This will only happen if Microsoft buys out Acti-poo as currently i have been boycotting all acti-poos products since the news dropped about that disgusting company and many of the sick employees..
@@jampanos My first thought was no forms at all, but you’re basically just a scuffed balance druid then. Taking talents in feral would do nothing. But if you were stuck in either bear or cat form, you can’t rely on shifting to escape CC or heal yourself. Then again, you wouldn’t be able to start the challenge until you first unlock the form.
guys I think u have alot of time... it s insane to play hunter with melee. Hunters were made to use bows/guns/crossbow. 90 % of hunter's spells involve range attacks.
Are you playing on Bloodsail! and dude I met a guy who was lvl 42 and was arcane because he "liked it" lol I had a 31 mage and got so bored an quit playing for a week came back and started a quest under water in a boat clearedit out and had a under water pot on but 4 respawns came and it was to late when I noticed i was dying but kinda felt good to not have to feel like ive gotta force myself to play somthing I didnty want to for some reason ppl hate pally and claim its boring but I like the tool kit so here goes Melee to max lvl... I hope and hopfully ur mage is still alive good luck on Melee hunter
I had Ashkandi on my hunter in classic BWL for melee weaving, I hope you get that far, it was also very fun in PvP and made a lot of people salty getting over 1k crit from a 2h hunter lmao.
Mage ain't dead ofc ofc, just recorded this while waiting for my WC group to form (They are very slow)
You scared me for a second mate D:
Just do a pug scardy cat
LMAO, amazing video btw.
WHAT ARCANIST DOIN... ok whew, good good
Melee hunter actually blasts dps. If people are any smart, they will inv you to the low lvl dungeons
Happy to see how well your WoW HC videos are doing! Hope ye keep at it! :D You're such a chill viewing experience \o/

This was cool! Where is part two??
He never continued
LOVE this ''éxtra hard'' hardcore challenges, keep it up!
Great content. Very good narration! Found ur channel a week back or so😊
Same here!

Diffrence is, Turtle WoW actually has a few changes made that allowes a meele hunter to function. At least way more then normal Classic.
@@Fion355 i was gonna say no hunter is tanking shit in classic lmao
keep pumping brother, ur on the way to greatness :D
I’m addicted to ur HC content now. Loving this series bro 🔥🔥
Where is next chapter?
He never continued it seemed
Man I hate hardcore youtubers but you're the only one I've actually enjoyed and liked, make more faster! Andele! *cracks whip*
Why do you hate hardcore UA-camrs 😂
Where's part two?
cool video man! I am subbing! love from Norway
I'm surprised your channel isn't bigger. You're definitely one of the most entertaining wow creators out there!
First video i have seen from you and it was great!! cant wait to see next video of your hunter! i hit the sub :)
@jampanos is the long awaited part 2 coming soon? 😉 i loved the mage series - and are so curious about the progression of a melee class 🫶
när kommer nästa del då polarn?

an actual hunter challenge! GG and GL 🍀

Also screech isn't til like level 16 in westfall iirc
Adam no 😭😭
Omg the pet rules are like a WoW nuzlocke I love it
More people should know that through fishing you can easily get the leather required for the engi heads so you can skip leatherworking completely and go straight for mining/engineering
Loving the content, and I just have to try this one!

This bops. Rip Adam
2:13 Its not the only one, you get a green staff from hogger quest.
More... I need MORE! Great content
yo bro amazing content, keep it up! 💪💪💪
love these vids man, keep it up
Oh man...this is going to be amazing!
Melee hunter for leveling is pretty decent, guildie of mine did it at classic launch
You must mean a melee-weaving approach, not melee-only
@@mcfarvo no i said what i ment, he was a melee hunter only
I was very unlucky on my warr this week and had to grind copper ore veins for about 6ish hours to get my 2 tigereyes. Can't wait till official HC servers are out to finally get acces to the AH.
Just my 2 cents about the dropchance of tigereyes. Anyways mad respect for melee hunter, I wish you all luck in the world with that :D
I cant wait to see more! Both the Arcane Mage and the Melee Hunter. Great concepts for videos, KEEP GOING YOU FUCK
i was waiting for this, hunter melee,!
Hi Jampanos!
These videos are so fun.
I really like the one life pet idea
The best way to get to the EK as a night elf is just swim down the coast til your map reads dun murogh and then drown and spirit rez (under level 10 has no consequence) and then walk to IF from Kharanos.
Hardcore challenge
"Drown and spirit rez"
UA-cam commenters are truly modern day Platos
What happened to the melee hunter???
What is the name of the add on showing what quests to do??? 😊
Is this wow music i'm hearing or monkey island music? They made that BFA jungle music sound so close to monkey island music it's hard to tell.
Great video! What's next, I am a rogue but ranged only?
quite convenient to deal with difficult encounters while being helped by others...
should have just kept the carrion bird as a backup at the stable. essentially the same as owl, with added benefit of eating fish as well as meat, where owl just eats meat.
Kek, well elf is good of insane agil and 1% dodge
whats the quest addon?
Driving to work but i can't use brakes.
Naming your pet Adam is just too swe god damn
Melee Hunters is something Vanilla+ did very well :)
Vanilla+ is not WoW. Move on
Love this. Keep on!
And next episode never appeared lol.
kom igen Adam!
What addon are you using for your unitframes?
what is the pally range pulling ability again?
i did petless hunter last week. made it to lvl 40 before my data got wiped and lost verification
Why go for stamina boots over agi once? agi is quite a strong stat for you arnet it ?
Awesome, nice wow videos!
I think pressing passive was actually a mistake as your pet will despawn if you get too far away from it but bc you made it follow you it got hit for longer and resulted in a death
Feta vids! keep it up!
don't let this one anywhere near your Windseeker's Bindings
RIP my boi Adam
survival tree for the win man❤
edit: some nodes into beast mastery since the pet will carry even if you melee only
I once knew a great hunter called Deagle.
WAIT, BEBERG IS THAT YOU? IS THAT THE LEGEND FROM GOLLEMAG ?

what you want is a two-hand weapon as soon as possible.
Next challenge: Druid but you’re permanently stuck in one form
I want to try a druid challenge! I wonder what is the most interesting, stuck in one form or no form at all 🤔
@@jampanos My first thought was no forms at all, but you’re basically just a scuffed balance druid then. Taking talents in feral would do nothing. But if you were stuck in either bear or cat form, you can’t rely on shifting to escape CC or heal yourself. Then again, you wouldn’t be able to start the challenge until you first unlock the form.
I'd argue equipped ranged weapons for the stats only should be allowed.
melee mage next?
liked and subbed, I need to know how this plays out with the melee only hunter.
when does HC release?
bro swam to westfall from menethil harbor 💀
Seeing those people die to Murkdeep felt so good lol. I fucking hate greedy players that steal quest mobs/items. So many assholes in this game.
Melee only hunter isnt even bad to level, faster than warrior or paladin. survival talents are also very nice for HC.
guys I think u have alot of time... it s insane to play hunter with melee. Hunters were made to use bows/guns/crossbow. 90 % of hunter's spells involve range attacks.
great video thank you for nice content
Are you playing on Bloodsail! and dude I met a guy who was lvl 42 and was arcane because he "liked it" lol I had a 31 mage and got so bored an quit playing for a week came back and started a quest under water in a boat clearedit out and had a under water pot on but 4 respawns came and it was to late when I noticed i was dying but kinda felt good to not have to feel like ive gotta force myself to play somthing I didnty want to for some reason ppl hate pally and claim its boring but I like the tool kit so here goes Melee to max lvl... I hope and hopfully ur mage is still alive good luck on Melee hunter
I got to lvl40 on a melee only mage, uploaded it to youtube "meleemage" channel for evidence, not exactly entertaining
Antonio Mfing Perelli
Ive tried this a fair bit myself, starting from 16 you actually do great damage with a two hand weapons, but early game is ass and can be quite scary
RIP Adam
I had Ashkandi on my hunter in classic BWL for melee weaving, I hope you get that far, it was also very fun in PvP and made a lot of people salty getting over 1k crit from a 2h hunter lmao.
Keep up the good Content 👌
Good video :)
survival tree is pretty solid actually very enjoyable to go melee with a good 2h nd the 50% crit on raptor nd mongood ur golden
I def ran into you in darkshore lol
what a gem
were is part två!!?
That gold looks suspect.
Make it Iron Melee Hunter - only grey and white items allowed ;D
hey man! try do this on low pop please.
In classic wow Survival was actaully a spec. You would go into survival and rest into MM
Omg this is sooo inspiring! Do you have like a discord or something one could join to discuss further adventures?
