PvP After WotLK: Dominate with Your Hunter
Even if your Hunter has avoided it in the past, PvP combat is in their future. WotLK has brought more advanced, real time battles to the game.
The first real time PvP battle zone is Lake Wintergrasp. In this new zone, players battle on the live server to earn points that allow them to buy a wide variety of special items, including the new Heirloom items that any of the player’s characters in that account regardless of that character’s level can take advantage of.
Given the popularity of Lake Wintergrasp and the increasing amount of PvP combat in other popular games, you’ll surely see more even more PvP in WoW in the future. Here’s what you need to know to handle your Hunter in this new world:
Playing a Hunter class character in World of Warcraft PvP requires many of the same skills real hunter possess. You need to be able to quickly pick out a target and understand its likely behavior so you can anticipate its next move. In addition, you need to know your own capabilities and the capabilities of your gear. And you need to be able to maneuver to the right position to take on your prey before they can take you out.
But playing a hunter in PvP involves much more than that. Understanding the best time to deploy your Freezing and Frost Traps and essential crowd control devices is necessary but not enough. You need to know how to maintain the ideal distance between you and your prey to cause the most possible DPS damage in each battle. And you must do all this against an intelligent character, rather than a wild animal.
To truly succeed in Hunter PvP combat, you need to understand the behavior of each enemy class and have a strategy for dealing with them. It’s particularly important to understand how Druids or Warriors or Rogues are likely to approach you. You also need to have a strategy for countering quick charges into hand-to-hand combat range by Warriors and Rogues.
You can learn much of what you need to win as a Hunter in PvP simply by spending time in the arena. But from my own personal experience, if you try this you can expect to get defeated regularly and be humiliated for a long time. You don’t want to know how many hours I spent at the bottom of the standings in the arena before I finally started getting the hang of it. Once I started reading a Hunter PvP Guide, I started climbing in the standings rapidly.
Even if you do decide to learn the ins and outs of Hunter PvP combat yourself, you’ll find that a quality PvP Guide will contain information that you’re unlikely to discover on your own. In short, a good PvP Guide will save you vast amounts of time and energy you would otherwise spend on trial and error.
