In some other games, such as Everquest, the hunter is a ranged/melee hybrid that can rely on both, when the need arises. In World of Warcraft, this is generally not the case. The survival tree offers some enhancement to melee ability, but the class's damage mitigation is poor compared to most pure melee classes and its melee abilities are generally considered too limited to be a practical source of DPS. For this reason, a hunter's melee attack is typically a last resort used only when his pet cannot keep threat on itself.
Hunters have many magical abilities that require mana, such as pet healing and special shots, but their mana pools are not as large as those of dedicated spellcasters.
Hunters will no longer use mana; instead the class will use Focus. Focus generates much like Energy, by building up. It will not be affected by Intellect at all.

theaterthread given its rating! Which is clearly stated in the title!But my geek knowledge tends to have application in a world where I don't have to shout "FOR THE HORDE!".
We all have different interests! And even though I might poke fun at gamers sometimes their interests are just as valid as hardware geeks or networking geeks or even dirty old men with a plaid-skirt fetish!
ETA - Actually I did read it by the way. And I actually understood a very small part of it!
