Just remembered what my idea to improve hunter functionality was.

Allow hunters to change the color of their hunters mark so that when multiple hunters are around it is easier for other group members to know who has targetted what, rather than 2+ red arrows blinking on screen and having to communicate left/center/right in chat.

This probably won't see the light of day but I'm gonna add it to the suggestions boards and see.

That's an awesome idea. Even if you only had 4-6 color choices, it would be a big help in determining who's attacking what prior to combat starting. I'd like to see this implemented! ;)

It would be great if Bliz added your suggestion of different hunter's mark colors. Have you posted this idea to the Bliz forums?

Select Krynn, hit the 'F' key, you are now assisting Krynn...easy to make a macro for this too.

^^^its really got nothing to do with assisting.


our traps are VERY effective. you can type all you want as to which one you will be freezing, but most the time we just mark it. then some idiot comes along and says "i hit is cause it was marked".

if the colors could be changed, it would always be "DONT touch the blue arrow". same with your poly's.

and not only for freezing, but which group in a raid will pull which target. in UBRS the other night, we had a hunter in each group. Left, Center, Right. Shouldnt be that hard right? the hunters were the only ones focusing on their selective targets.

i just think it would help greatly.

We could always just Tack an Elf to the mobs....

"HAY! DON'T TOUCH THE ONE WITH KRYNN STUCK TO IT!"

Well with your aim, being tacked to the target would probably be the safest place to be!! :D

I posted in the suggestions boards. Going to check now if any feedback/others comments...

Edit - got 2 responses, /sign from a hunter and also an agreement from a Horde troll. See thread linked below to keep some bumpage. Who knows, maybe in patch 1.8 this can come to reality! lol

Oh, this is the best suggestion I've yet heard for WoW. I want! I want very badly!

Bah, I hoped for it in SWG, just like I hoped they would add the holstering animation they had back in Beta...

Never happened...

Not gonna hold my breath here either.

Nice idea. Wouldnt be too hard for the devs to implement either I imagine.
