Before you read on I would like you to know, this is a really stupid idea but it's my goal and my stupid idea. I'm not 100% huntarded (lol maybe just 90%) I know all about the survival class and have had quite a bit of success in raiding so I know hunters are not a melee oriented class, but what's life if you don't push it a little?
I read a post about this back in BC and it was always a concept that intrigued me but I never had the balls to do it. However, after a long and funny conversation I got about 10 people who said they would give me 150g-200g each if I could pull off a wotlk hunter tank and it was the final nudge to get me to do it.
I'm not going to post my tanking set yet or spec, it's really hard to find information on hunter melee tanking (because tanking with ur pet isn't as fun :D)bc no one really does it. So I'm just gonna post my important stats here.
All unbuffed
3.39% reduced chance to be critically hit
37.86% chance to dodge
11.49% chance to parry
24k hp
1000 threat per second
(over all avoidance 54% chance to not take damage)
Yeah I have a couple ideas to increase my threat, and I still have alot of gear to get. Man but it's amazing how much damage a hunter can mitigate! Then i kind of have a shield with my glyph I can reduce all damage taken by 20% for like 5 seconds. I'm looking forward to my first low end instance!
