World of warcraft hunters black book
World of Warcraft Hunters specialize in taming animals which make them a strong mini group unit. They are the all round outdoor specialists; not only can they tame practically any of the roaming animals dotting the Azeroth landscape, but also are adept at placing traps to immobilize mobs or pvp adversaries. They can use tracking devices to detect humans or animals as well as being able to assume “aspects” of beasts allowing them to tap into even more abilities. In combat they excel with ranged weapons and are useful melee fighters if the need arises.
1. Ranged weapon specialization is their best talent, even more so than their pet taming. The projectiles include 4 different types of stings that cause a debuff effect on targets causing great damage. They also have shots like Arcane Shot, Auto Shot and later in levels Steady Shot.
2. Close combat Melee abilities. Hunters can do melee combat though not as proficiently as other tanking classes. It comes as an especially useful ability when the target cannot be shot at or if the pet can’t assist due to it being stunned or incapacitated.
3. Pets are the most important combat weapon of the Hunter. They add to the DPS (Damage Per Second) of the Hunter allowing them to finish off opponents faster. They also act as tanks diverting the focus of enemies attack away as the Hunter finishes them off from a distance with their bow or gun.
4. Traps: At their disposal hunters have up to 5 traps used for crowd control, and to cause damage . Traps have a cool down period of 30 seconds. Once a trap is set another can be set up immediately afterwards. Here are the kind of traps available to hunters:
Frost Trap - Slows enemies up to 60% in area where trap is set.
Freezing Trap - freezes approaching enemies.
Immolation Trap - Burns enemies over 15 sec period.
Explosive Trap - Explodes as enemy approaches causing fire damage.
5. Aspects Hunters assume up to seven aspects gained as part of the “beast mastery” tree that grant special abilities, such as increased dodge, improved running speed, or even additional nature resistance. The seven available hunter aspects are:
Aspect of the Monkey: This can increase the chance to dodge by 8%.
- Aspect of the Hawk: Increases “ranged” attack by “x” amount depending on level.
Aspect of the Cheetah: Can speed up the hunter speed by 30% but can also daze him for 4 seconds if suffering damage.
Aspect of the Beast: Allows hunters to become undetectable.
- Aspect of the Pack: The hunter and his/her group take on the characteristics of a pack of cheetahs, increasing all their movement speeds by 30%. If a pack member takes damage, they will be dazed for 4 sec.
Aspect of the Wild: The Hunter and his group take on the characteristics of the wilderness, gaining +X resistance to Nature damage.
Aspect of the Viper: Regenerates mana equal to 55% of his intellect every 5 seconds
6. Hunters are able to track eight kinds of units in the game. Only one tracking ability can be kept open at a time. Type of creatures or items they are able to track are: Beasts, Humanoids, Undead, Hidden, Elementals, Demons, Giants, and Dragonkin.
All the above abilities in this short WoW hunter guide point to the hunter being the best class to sole when you level up. Warlocks are equally as good but play different. Looking at forums, most who have used both classes tend to prefer hunters but this is subjective. The only weakness they have is when they are unable to use ranged weapons though they have limited melee abilities. All in all this is one of the most popular classes in wow due to its variety, versatility and power.
