Why Your Hunter Needs the PvP Bible
July 19th, 2009 | by Wiiabetes Guest Blogger |Even if your Hunter has avoided it in the past, Player versus Player (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 face off on the live server (no instancing) to win points that allow them to buy a wide variety of special items, including the new Heirloom items. These are items that any character in their account from level 1 to 80 and beyond can use.
Given the popularity of Lake Wintergrasp and the increasing amount of PvP combat in other popular games, there will surely be even more World PvP in the future. So let’s talk about Hunters and PvP:
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 identify the target and figure out how it will react 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 into the optimal position to take out your prey before they can take you down.
But playing a hunter in PvP involves much more than that. You need to know when and how to deploy your Freezing and Frost Traps and essential crowd control devices is necessary but not enough. You also need to know how to maintain the ideal distance between you and your prey to cause the most possible DPS damage in each duel. And you must do all this against a foe who is trying just as hard to out-think and out-maneuver you as you are to do the same to him.
If you want to be really successful in Hunter PvP combat, you need to know the strategy and tactics for killing each class of opponent. It’s particularly important to understand how Druids, Warriors, and Rogues are most likely to approach you. And you need to know how to counter those classes that can charge into hand-to-hand combat range quickly, such as Warriors and Rogues.
It’s possible to learn what you need to know by putting in enough time in the arena. But from my own personal experience, if you try this you can expect to get crushed and 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 was able to make real progress.
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. It will teach you the key things you need to know, saving you vast amounts of time and energy you would otherwise spend trying to discover a Hunter’s combat secrets on your own.
