Was in a group climb yesterday and someone mentioned it's doable and would possibly work and another person said to not do it at all.

What are your thoughts? Is it feasible?

Unless you have some of the best light/wild heal set along with the best off cast gear, don't even consider it. It's not fun or good :P

I was only thinking about it because it may be easier for me to get a nice mq light then a full axe set.

I like it xD

But yeah gear is a major concern
It is easier to get melee axes than casting

playing the best melee class ( Headhunter) as caster is as good as playing the best caster ( warlock ) as melee .

imo, get ee axes and stat charms , even every 10-15 levels will feel good with a headunter

unfortunately getting hold of that mq axe in general isn't even possible.

The last one which went up for sale the seller decided he didn't want to sell.
The one before that was Justin's where he decided to sell out

This is a period of ~3-4 months.
So ye, Good luck finding that 150ee+ MQ axe.
The next one is tbh more than likely when someone else decides to sell out, there's also 3-4 people iso this, so expect to be bidded up to heck.


They are rare enough that i'm not even going to buy axes, If i reach HH then i'll try and borrow some, if no-one lends me any i stay on warlock.
I have a ~100ee set missing a MQ right now in case i really wanted to play HH next season, presuming i'm lucky enough to get there 2 seasons in a row

As you can see, the consensus is that a caster HH is not recommended unless you have strong Lightning and Wild Heals, not to mention having a low mana pool to start with

Getting a respectable axe set is, as stated, very expensive, and unlikely to be on sale any time soon

A third option is available for you to be a productive player in a cata group - get a decent set of armor,
and life stats on your equipment, go in game and add vit to 100 and volunteer as a tank.

The casters in company will keep you alive (otherwise they will get clobbered)

Hope for a pass to Alchie and happiness :)
