Lets Start
Making sure the character you use in this class is correct for the job is one of the main steps to victory. Knowledge of personal strengths allows you to match with the abilities of a hunter. Although the name tends to conjure up images of tracking down and shooting animals, the hunter class is much more than that. They have definite strengths and weaknesses that can make playing this class a little tricky.
The hunters abilities are in ranged warfare and the use of guns, crossbow and bows. They are incredibly effective at extinguishing their enemies with these means. Their tracking skills are very strong and they are also very good at surviving. Much of the damage taken from an attack can be absorbed by a pet in this class, giving more time for play. An issue arising in lower levels can be that the hunter is unable to acquire armor until level 40 and so one difficulty the hunter encounters is Melee fighting. Click here for more: Hunter Guide WoW
Now that you are aware of the hunters skills, you can now plan your attack. Keeping distance from danger allows for greater chance of victory. It is very important to invest in a pet as a hunter since they can take up the slack when it comes to melee fighting. While they are getting up close and personal, the hunter can stay back and deal out damage from afar.
Choosing a job for your hunter
A profession needs to be chosen that blends well with the hunters skills, now that you have chosen to play this class. Your best bet is going to be the combination of skinning and leatherworking since this will enable you to make your own armor. Mining and skinning are two other professions that mix well, these together allow the player to buy weapons and armor. Enchanting, tailoring and alchemy are some of the jobs that are not a good combination for the hunter.
While they are incredibly useful for other classes, there just isn’t much that will benefit a hunter from these professions. Herbalism on the other hand can be used for making potions to enable healing and quite a good profession in this respect. Gaining a pet on the other hand can also assist with melee fighting and herbalism takes a back seat.
The Weapons
As we mentioned previously, the hunter excels at ranged warfare. You may just want to focus on crossbows and bows, unless you develop the skill to use guns as well. Starting out you are given a basic bow, once you progress through levels you are able to upgrade and develop your skills. Other ranged weapons can be acquired as quests are completed.
