Get Everything You Need To Know To Be a Better WoW Hunter
In WOW, as well as many other games, the term hunter refers to a class that uses long range weapons. This class is generally weak and not good at melee fighting. WoW provides the hunter class with various means to stay away from their foes such as traps and pet system.
Selecting Race
If you choose to be a hunter the first few steps will have a huge affect on your life. Here are the races you can choose from: Night Elves, Dwarf, Draenei, Tauren, Troll, Orc, and Blood Elves. Here is a list of their skills that will boost a Hunter’s performance
1. Night Elves: Shadowmeld allows them to hide and quickness give them extra dodge.
2. Dwarf: Gun Specialization which will increase their critical hit rate and Stoneform which can counter debuffs such as disease, bleeding and posion.
3. Draenei: Can heal yourself or your pet; it also has Heroic Presence which improves hit by 1% for all member of the party.
4. Tauren: War Stomp can help them escape to a distance. Endurance increases health by 5% and can be stacked with Endurance Training.
5. Troll: Bow Specialization adds to their critical hit rate which can be coupled with berserking for a higher DPS. HP regeneration and beast slaying are more reasons to pick this race. See how being a Troll allow you to make even more powerful hunter at WoW Troll Guide.
6. Orc: Command will increase your pet damage by 5% and Blood Fury can boost your attack power.
7. Blood Elves: Arcane Torrent silences your enemy and refills your mana.
Every race has it’s own abilities that can support you as a hunter; my recommendation: narrow your choice to Night Elves or Dwarf for the Alliance faction and Orc, Troll, and Tauren for the Horde Faction. The reasons behind my recommendation lays in your next step: selecting your talents build.
Talents Build
Hunters, like other classes, have three talent trees to focus on: Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, and Survival. Different WoW Hunter guides might recommend different things so you need to pick the one that best suits your playing style.
Beast Mastery
Orc is best here due to their command traits which boost pets’ damage 5%. They also resist to stun and have Blood Fury to boost their damage. Pick a DPS type pet to help you dealt greater damage such as cats and owls in PvP and a tanking pet such as boar for leveling.
Marksmanship
Dwarf and Troll are best for this path because both have weapon specialization so they can cause more damage. If you playing this hunter type; take a tank pet such a bear or boar and stay within safe distance from your enemies. If you choose Night Elves, shadowmeld is useful, but only in PvP.
Survival
This type of hunter usually plays as a support in a group; they pull enemies to their group using their long range, and then buff their groups with aspects or aura; usually this hunter type doesn’t have that much DPS since they invest most of their points in Survival tree. Tauren is good choice for this role since it also has war stomp and increased health.
After deciding on the best talent build, slow leveling process will add up your stress. Find out some of my methods to speed it up at wow quick leveling.
WoW is a complex game and have unlimited possibilities; while this basic WoW Hunter Guide is good if you are just planning to create your first hunter, there are various other methods to create a powerful hunter using different race and different talents build; you just need to be creative.
