My strategy has had to change completely on BG9, I've played against every top Hunter/Druid team and I've had to come up with this strategy while being extremely out geared (Full S3 > Kara/S1) by all of my opponents. With that said I will give you all the amazing Druid/Hunter strategy that will NEVER fail unless the other team simply does it better than you.

Your goal in this fight sounds simple, OOM the Hunter, kill his pet so he's unable to resurrect his pet, keep him OOM, Feign Death drink a nice chunk of mana, then CC Druid and kill the Hunter.

This strategy can take time, always carry 100+ water's on you. We fought an amazing full S3 geared BG9 Druid/Hunter team, our first match took an hour and had to create the above strategy to finally beat them, otherwise with him constantly Vipering me and the Druid preventing me from drinking it would have been a never ending battle of 2 hunters Wing Clip spamming each other with 1 handers slap boxing.

Everything I was doing I could blatantly see my opponents mimicking, on every team I played, it was like playing with myself. The second time we approached this team we had the strategy right and we charged in. I immediately applied a Viper to the Hunter and sent my pet after him as he did to me and both of our Druids popped out to immediately Abolish it. I in turn went immediately to his Druid and Scatter/Trapped him and started working on his pet, which was on me.

With the pet on me it makes it much more difficult for me and the enemy Hunter to DPS it down because we have to constantly Wing Clip it and get to range all the while Viper Stings are ticking and we are using mana.

In this first phase of the fight most likely you won't kill the Hunter's pet unless they are really bad to which case you stick on him and prevent him from getting another one off.

Against a mirror match your going to have to wait for the most opportune moment to kill his pet. Usually when you and your Druid have the other team CC'd you should drink up to about 5k mana. That's what I'd recommend. Your partner will be staying all over the Hunter making sure he doesn't drink while your catching back up on mana because if he can't drink he can't resurrect. To finish off the Hunter you should play it just like you did to kill the pet. Freeze Trap the Druid, before Freeze expires, Cyclone twice, in that time you should be able to kill the Hunter without any heals from the Druid. If that is not the case, Cyclone the HUNTER twice before the Druid has a chance to heal him, this will buy you time to get your freeze trap off the cooldown and take the Druid off of diminishing returns.
