Even if your Hunter has avoided it in the past, Player versus Player (PvP) combat is in their future. Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) transformed WoW World PvP. There’s now a real time PvP battle zone called Lake Wintergrasp. There, the emphasis is on real-time World PvP. There players go at it on the live server to win points that allow them to buy a wide variety of special items such as the new Heirloom items that any character in their account regardless of that character’s level can take advantage of.
With Lake Wintergrasp’s high popularity, and the increasing amount of PvP combat in other popular games, you’ll surely see more even more PvP in WoW in the future. So let’s talk about Hunters and PvP:
If you want to be a Hunter in PvP combat, it would be helpful to have the instincts of a hunter. That’s because you’re going to need to be able to pick out your next target and understand how it will respond to your attack. You need this knowledge so you can hunt it down and terminate it. You need to understand your own capabilities, your gear, and the tactical situation. Then you need to maneuver into position and terminate your prey with extreme prejudice before it can take you down. In World of Warcraft Player versus Player combat, it’s much the same, except that your prey is another player’s character instead of an animal.
However, in Hunter PvP combat, there are issues that no real-world hunter has to deal with. Understanding the right time to use your Freezing and Frost Traps and essential crowd control devices is one thing. You need to know how to manage the space between you and your opponents so you can hurt them as badly as possible before they get close in each battle. 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. 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 crushed and humiliated for a long time. I spent many frustrating hours ranking last or near last in the standings when I tried. 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 strategies and tactics that are not obvious to newer players. In short, a good PvP Guide will save you a big block of time you would otherwise have to spend dying in battle before you become skilled at PvP combat.
