The Hunter is by far the most versatile of all the World of Warcraft classes. With all the available talent builds, pet options, and their sheer prowess, you can’t go wrong with this class. If your character is a Hunter, this comprehensive guide will guide you to success.

Let’s Begin

Success in this class starts with taking in consideration if your character is right for the job. Take look at your own personal strengths and make sure that they fit the abilities of a hunter. Remember that the hunter class is more than tracking down and shooting animals. Playing this class can be a little tricky if you don’t pay attention to its strengths and weaknesses.

A hunter excels at ranged warfare, including the use of bows, guns, and crossbows. They can dispatch their enemies effectively by using these means. They have strong tracking abilities, as well as an impeccable knack for surviving. Using pets with this class can redirect most attack damage from your character to your character’s pet, giving you more time to play.

Melee fighting is one of the hunter’s weaknesses. And it is only until you reach level 40 that your character can be fit for armory, so it can be quite a problem lacking armor in the early levels.

Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the hunter can now help you come up with a good strategy in dealing with your character’s enemies. Remember that the farther away you are from danger, the better your chances for victory. Investing in a pet is also very significant because pets can help the hunter during melee fighting. Pets fight for their masters. Thus, cutting the hunter some slack when it comes to dealing with enemies.

Choosing the right profession for your hunter

You need to pick a profession that goes well with a hunter’s innate abilities. Your best bet is yo go with a skinning and leatherworking combination. This will allow you to make your own armor. Another great combination is mining and skinning, which will let you produce enough money to purchase additional armor and weapons quickly.

Don’t go with alchemy, tailoring or enchanting. They are incredibly useful for other classes, there’s not enough benfits for a hunter. Another good choice for a profession is herbalism, which will allow you to make your own healing potions. This is very useful in melee fighting when you’re still without a pet.

The Artillery

As previously stated, the hunter excels at ranged warfare. Concentrate on bows and crossbows, and guns if you have the skill. Initially, you’ll get a pretty basic bow, but as you progress through the levels, you can purchase a better one that will let you earn you more skill and increase your accuracy help. You can also get several other ranged weapons as you complete quests.
