In WOW, as well as many other games, the term hunter refers to a class that uses long range weapons. Hunters are usually better at using arrows or bullets than they are at up close 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 have made the choice to play as a hunter you have to be very careful on the first few steps since that will have a big impact on your life as a hunter. You want to pick the best race, each race has its good points and it’s bad; the available races are: 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 to increase your critical hit rate and Stoneform to counter various types of debuffs such as poison, disease, and bleeding.
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 improves base health by 5% and it stacks 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 ability are also nice to have as a Troll. 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. These recommendations will become clear when you move on to the next step: selecting talents.
Talents Build
Hunters, like other classes, have three talent trees to focus on: Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, and Survival. You may find different recommendation in different WoW Hunter Guide, so in the end it is up to you to pick the most suitable playing style for your hunter.
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. Add a high DPS pet so you can deal more damage in PvP mode and a good tanking pet such as a boar to helps with leveling.
Marksmanship
Dwarves and Trolls are good for this path since both have weapon specialization which they can use to cause more damage. By adding a tank pet you can keep your hunter at a safe distance. 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.
