World of Warcraft - Huntard Guide

What is a WoW Huntard?
World of Warcraft is a hugly popular online game and the most popular class is by far the Hunter. This class brings great players and some not so great. A "huntard" is the combination of a Hunter and a Retard. Not exactly a nice word but it has stuck in the game and it is what it is. It suits many hunters perfectly.
What does a Huntard Do to Earn his Title?
First let me just say that the huntard term is widely overused some players will give this title out to anyone who makes a mistake, if you learn from your mistakes and don't repeat them then you are obviously not a huntard. But some players just don't learn nor do they want to.
Most of the huntard scenarios come into play during pick up Instance groups, you are usually grouped with 5 people you don't know and most of the time you have no idea if they completely suck until after you wipe.
Huntards care about one thing only - Their awesome pets. You will hear them repeatedly talk about their uber pets all the way through the instance. They may even send you a tell saying how great their pet is. They believe their pet can take on the whole zone if needed.
They often times like to send their pet charging in on a group of mobs well before anyone is ready and they don't just do it once. If your healer was able to barely save the group watch out because the huntard will like the fast action and keep doing it. They have trouble sitting still so they just sick fido on anything their heart desires.
Huntards vs Healers
If you play a healer class you will really develop a new found hatred for the huntard. They will ask you over and over again to heal their uber pet during a boss fight none the less. They may have no idea they even have a pet heal spell. They think their pet is way more important than the tank. No too worry though once they get aggro they will just Feign Death so the mob comes to you instead:)
Aggressive Pet
Huntards enjoy leaving their pets on aggressive through the whole instance until they're either get kicked out of the group or they wipe the whole group. If you wipe you can be sure they will hit their /q and log off. No need to hear the group bashing their uber pet.
Crowd Control - Traps
A true huntard has no respect for crowd control they are not afraid to use that multi-shot. If you ask them to CC a mob they quickly tell you there is no mage in the group. This is usually when the arguing starts up. Rest assured there is always at least one person in the group who will attempt to put that huntard in his place. On a true huntard it's a waste of typing. They will again remind you how great their Uber pet is and then proceed to make jokes about your mom.
Loot Happy
As soon as a huntard gets into the group he is instantly talking about what loot he needs to get more uber, he won't shut up about this loot so don't even try.He doesn't care that the loot hasn't even dropped yet. He is so busy looking up loot that he just sends his pet in to kill the mobs - no need to shoot arrows at every mob when he has such an awesome pet! He can just sit back and take a break while aggressive Fido does all the work.
If you would like to join the huntard elite just follow the above tips and you will be well on your way to becoming a true World of Warcraft Huntard!

Constently. My way as Tank usually is to let them take the aggro they like to amass and let them deal with it. If they try to drop on the healer, i have a macro to snatch them back. Once you let them die 3-4 times, after telling the healer NOT to ressurect them, they usually leave and whoever joins afterwards is 100% better....lest its another one of those buggers....
