Hunter - Carnage From Afar
The Hunter is a pure damage
dealing class and isn’t able to either tank or heal. Their main damage comes
from their ranged attacks which they make with a Gun, Bow, or Crossbow. The
Hunter is well known for his ability to tame pets which can fight for him. The
Tame Beast ability becomes available after doing some Hunter quests at level
10. Once you tame a beast you will be able to summon him whenever you please.
You can also leave your pet at a stable, which can usually be found outside the
Inn and near Hunter trainers, and tame another one. You can have two pets in
your stable and one at your side and can then change pets for different
occasions, think about a PvP-pet, Tank-pet, Damage-pet etc. The pets have
recently obtained their own talent tree which makes them even more powerful than
they were before the WoTLK.
A Hunter isn’t only about the
pets he can use though. The Hunter will, in most cases, do a lot more damage
than his pet still and has great abilities. The Hunter mainly fires shots and
stings from a distance. However, he has great slowing abilities to keep enemies
away from him like traps, and slowing shots. The Hunter is a versatile damage
dealer that should move around a lot. Even though it is not often needed in PvE
and while leveling because there is either a Tank or the Pet to keep the mobs
on him, ‘kiting’ is sometimes needed and no class can do that as good as the
Hunter.
The Hunter can Feign Death. This
will save the Hunter in a lot of scenarios from being killed which will save him
a lot of gold in the long run. The Hunter does have some other expenses other
classes don’t have like the need for ammunition and food for their pet.
The Hunter can be played by Night
Elves, Dwarves and Draenei of the Alliance and Taurens, Orcs and Trolls of the
Horde. The tree talent trees are called
Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, and Survival. A combination of these talent trees
is usually best even if it was just because on the top of each talent tree some
nice talent can be found. On the top of the Beast Mastery talent tree you can
find Improved Aspect of the Hawk, in the Marksmanship tree you have Lethal
Shots, and in the Survival tree you got Hawk Eye. All three of these are great
talents.
From there on one can choose if
he or she wants to follow one tree or still make sort of a hybrid build. The
Beast Mastery talent tree will boost the power of a Hunters pet mainly, even
though it also has some nice features that will strengthen the Hunter. The
Marksmanships tree gives the Hunter’s shots and stings more power and also
provides him with some new shots. Same goes for the Survival build but this
tree also focuses on the survival capabilities off the Hunter as well which
makes this tree great for PvP.
