Each week, Daniel Howell contributes BigRedKitty, a column with strategies, tips and tricks for and about the hunter class sprinkled with a healthy dose of completely improper, sometimes libelous, personal commentary.

Deportment: d?-pôrt'm??nt, noun. A manner of personal conduct; behavior.

Why is it so important that we conduct ourselves in a manner in which the other classes don't have to? Because a lot of people think we hunters are expendable, that's why. We have a bad reputation and much of it fairly earned. In order to build up your Hunter Karma you'll need to work extra-hard at not being a PITA.

There is a saying in the business community. Everybody who has a bad experience with your product will raise a ruckus and complain, but only one out of ten people who like your product will ever say anything to anybody. Negative press gets attention, folks, and hunters have a boat-load of it.

"Hunters break my sheep."

"Hunters break my saps."

"Hunters break my shackles."

"Hunters always cry for pet heals."

"Hunters grab aggro and then kite or melee the mob I'm supposed to be tanking."

"Hunters think all loot is Huntard-Loot."

So what can we do about this avalanche of negativity? How can we combat the Huntard Stereotype? What can you do personally to raise the awareness of proper hunter behavior?

Get In, Sit Down, Shut Up, and Hang On. That's what.
