PvP combat is in your Hunter’s future, even if you’ve avoided it so far. Wrath of the Lich King (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 (no instancing) to earn points they can use to buy a wide variety of special items, including the new Heirloom items. These are items that any of the player’s characters in that account regardless of that character’s level 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 WoW 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 what it will do next. You also 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 target before they can take you out.
However, in Hunter PvP combat, there are issues that no real-world hunter has to deal with. You need to know when and how to deploy your Freezing and Frost Traps and essential crowd control devices is one thing. You also need to know how to manage the space between you and your prey so you can cause as much ranged damage as possible in each duel. And you must do all this against an intelligent character, rather than a wild animal.
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 likely to come at you. At the same time, you have to have a strategy for countering quick charges into hand-to-hand combat range by Warriors and Rogues.
It’s possible to learn what you need to know by putting in enough time in the arena. But I can tell you from personal experience that if you try, you had better be prepared to get defeated regularly and be humiliated for a long time. I spent many frustrating hours ranking last or near last in the standings when I tried. It wasn’t until I picked up a Hunter PvP Guide that I started climbing in the standings rapidly.
Because a top notch PvP Guide contains the hard-earned experience of Hunters with a vast amount of experience, it will contain strategies and tactics that are not obvious to newer players. It will teach you the most important things to know, saving you a big block of time you would otherwise have to spend dying in battle before you become good at PvP combat.
