@ Darowyn – It is largely the pets, yes, and largely the fact that I do so enjoy character customization and backstories especially when it comes to hunters.

I also really enjoy the leveling content, and what better way to experience it than with my favorite class, I figure?

@Pike

I did mean at 80. I figured you had more!

So…is it the pets? Or do you just like rolling diff races? I do love the 1-20 grind, so get sucked in that way a lot too.

@ Darowyn – At my last count, I have 14 hunters.

2 hunters is nothing. Seriously. I think I have 7 (1 80, and various other levels — i also have an 80 rogue and a DK and mage in their 70s).

The reason for all the hunters? Pets. I love them and I like to try different ones. However, back in the days of 3 stable slots (when it was really only feasible to have 2 pets), it was hard to keep switching. My Nelf hunter felt “right” with a cat and a gorilla. He would never have a bear. But my dwarf would. And she likes wolves too. Hmmm….I’d like an owl….the dranei hunter is totally a bird lover. The orc likes hyenas. It just snowballs. I blame the pets.

@ Pangati – Umm, yeah, about that Alt Project thing. I gave up on that a long time ago. *cough* >.>

Ah…congrats on a level 80 BM Hunter! (again)

If you enjoy Hunters so much then you keep on levelling them and telling us all about them!. I’m sure we’ll happily come here to read the stories.

Hey, Pike, the comments here reminded me of your Alt Project. Are you still doing that at all?

(And seriously, you’re not that weird to prefer certain classes. I have used about 25 of my character slots, and something like 18 of them are hunters, shamans and druids … and almost all trolls, tauren and draenei.)

I have 5 druids:

Tauren – 80
Tauren – 70
Night Elf – 80
Night Elf – 70
Night Elf – 70

Hehe. Pike, I’m with you on the Tauren for life! My main is a Resto Shammy. I’ve leveled her 60 – 80 as Resto. I am currently leveling my Tauren Hunter, Shardlin. She’s 77 at the moment. I’m an altaholic as well, so I’m pretty “branched” out as well.

Playing what’s fun is the way to go Pike, IMO. My main is an 80 hunter. I’ve got a 23 shadow priest, 45 lock, and 17 mage. The shadow priest is sort of fun-ish to play. The lock and the mage, even thought they do have companions (I can’t bring myself to call those demons “pets”), are not the same.

There’s a certain synergy that a hunter has with their pet and their surroundings that I don’t feel as a lock or mage. That’s what makes playing a hunter best for me.

so last weekend I rolled a second horde-side hunter that just hit 30…. go ahead! bring on the intervention! I dare ya!
