WoW Hunter Guide

Hi, good . Out of all of the character classes available in World of Warcraft, Hunters are the sharpshooters. They possess many range fighting capabilities, and a WoW Hunter Guide will help familiarize you with this deadly class.

Being range fighters, Hunters know their way around bows and rifles. Even more impressive, due to their instinctive connection with nature, they are able to tame certain animals which they in turn train as effective companions in combat. A great deal of damage can be dealt with a Hunter. Not only does the Hunter’s aptitude with distance weapons allow them to hit monsters from a distance, their loyal pets also hand out damaging blows. The pets can also manage monsters’ aggro.

Hunters are also effective trap setters. This helps with crowd control during battle. The combination of range fighting, pets, and traps makes the Hunter a superb puller in group combat.

Additionally, if enemies attempt to flee, the Hunter has to simply pull out the rifle or bow and take the fight right back to the turn-tail.

Though primarily range fighters, Hunters do possess some melee ability. You will never confuse them with a Rogue or Warrior, but they can deal some damage at close range. The purpose of these melee abilities isn’t necessarily to inflict damage anyway. It is to deliver some damage to the enemy while opening up distance, where the Hunter can do true damage.

Since pets were mentioned in the WoW Hunter Guide, it is worth acknowledging a few. Bears can act as a tank, while owls and cats are designed for damage per second (DPS) functions. Pets can be equipped with a wide variety of armor, stamina, and resistance buffs, allowing for much customization. The challenge is your ability as a player to tame, train, and effectively use these pets.

Pets are tamed at Level 10 upon completion of a quest chain. A Hunter’s stable can hold five pets, but only one may be active at a time.

Because the Hunter must be agile enough to properly handle a bow or rifle, this class may wear only Cloth and Leather Armor until Level 40, at which point they may wear Mail Armor with training.

Traps are a useful tool in the Hunter’s arsenal. There are five types of traps; some for crowd control and others deliver damage. They may not be used simultaneously and will exist for one minute. Every trap has a 30 second cooldown and takes 2 seconds to arm. This is why it is important to recognize the combat situation and make proper judgments based on the time it takes to set and use traps. Otherwise, you will take on some damage.

Weapons at the Hunter’s disposal are:

• Axes
• Daggers
• Bows
• Crossbows
• Fist Weapons
• Guns
• Polearms
• Staves
• Swords
• Thrown
• Two-handed Axes
• Two-handed Swords

Races who may assume the role of Hunter are:

• Blood Elf
• Draenei
• Dwarf
• Night Elf
• Orc
• Tauren
• Troll

This WoW Hunter Guide has shown the versatility of one of Azeroth’s most skilled classes. Use this information to decide if the Hunter is right for you.

I hope you found this WoW Hunter helpful.

All the best
