Hunter

WoW: Forever · Class

Hunter

Hunters know the uncharted places of the world. Gifted with a deep empathy for all life, they have an uncanny knack for befriending wild animals and taming them as pets. In addition, hunters can use their finely honed senses to become master trackers. Wherever hunters go, they fight back the ravages of sickness, exploitation, and industrialization.

Tips

  • Tame Beast strips your armor while it channels, and losing the beast's attention ends the attempt, so clear nearby enemies before you start.
  • Only one Aspect runs at a time. Aspect of the Hawk adds ranged attack power for fights; Aspect of the Cheetah adds speed, but damage dazes you.
  • Feign Death can make enemies ignore you and end a fight gone wrong. Remember to cancel it: left running for 6 minutes, it kills you for real.
  • Freezing Trap holds the first enemy that walks onto it, and any damage breaks the ice, so keep your shots and your pet off that target.
  • Revive Pet brings your companion back with only part of its health, so follow it with Mend Pet before the next fight.
