From an early age the call of the wild draws some adventurers from the comfort of their homes into the unforgiving primal world outside. Those who endure become hunters. Masters of their environment, they are able to slip like ghosts through the trees and lay traps in the paths of their enemies.

These expert marksmen drop foes dead in their tracks with flawless shots from a bow or rifle. With the ability to wield two weapons simultaneously, hunters can unleash a flurry of blows against anyone unfortunate enough to stumble into close combat with them.

The art of survival is central to the isolated life of a hunter. Hunters track beasts with ease and enhance their own abilities by attuning themselves to the feral aspects of various creatures. Hunters are known for the lifelong bonds they form with animals of the wild, training great hawks, cats, bears, and many other beasts to fight alongside them.

Hunter Information

Hunters battle their foes at a distance, commanding their pets to attack while they nock their arrows and fire their guns. Though their missile weapons are extremely effective, hunters are at a disadvantage when their foes close in, and often attempt to evade or restrain enemies so that they can continue fighting from a safe distance.

  • Type Ranged Physical Damage Dealer
  • Standard Bars Health, Focus
  • Available Armor Cloth, Leather, Mail
  • Available Weapons Bows, Crossbows, Fist Weapons, Guns, One-Handed Axes, One-Handed Swords, Polearms, Staves, Two-Handed Axes, Two-Handed Swords
Hunter Talents

Hunter talents primarily strengthen their pets; improve the damage, effectiveness, and duration of their traps; and increase the speed and power of their ranged attacks.

Hunter Talent Specialization
Hunter Features
Pets

Hunters tame the beasts of the wild, and those beasts serve in return by assaulting their enemies and shielding them from harm.

Ranged damage

Whether wielding bows, guns, or crossbows, hunters are deadly with ranged weapons. They are capable of dishing out consistently high damage.

Traps

Hunters are consummate survivalists, able to set traps to burn, freeze, and disable potential prey.

Soloing

Thanks to their pets and damage output, hunters are effective at completing quests and leveling quickly, even when they’re alone.

Im a hunter since the beggining. And I have a message for all you newcommers to the class. Abandon it and play something else. Lets say Mage, You will not suck with it as you will with hunters. Not to mention how low we are at Blizzard's scale. To fix one problem it may take years. Dont roll it thats my advice for you and I love the class

Been a Hunter since the start, only chose to be one because of that Dwarf Mountaineer on the back cover and the marksman from the Warcraft. But then I enjoy playing the class and I do my best with it, just it seems to of got a reputation of being a skilless class. When did that happen? Anywya, probably me being a bit sad, not looking for trouble, just thought i'd say. :)

@Daslicer: Dude? umad? Rogues takes a hell load of skill. I would like to see you duel a rogue... If you lose you are horrible unless its a good rogue ofc. And if you think blood dk is op why are no1 playing them at over 2k rating? They are only good in 1v1s. Even a ench shaman can heal nearly the same...

All of you are fake hunters! The true hunter, the hunter that loves being a hunter is a hunter that have 3 x 85 hunters in the same server (only in one server) plus all those + 70 lvl hunters as an alt. I'm a real hunter! No multiboxing, no recruiting. I skill my hunters because it's fun to hunt.

Can anyone here tell me the main differences betjene the classes?
I have a Holy pala, and i am gong to make a hunter after gearcapping.
I just love the hunter so far. I use worgen as a class(leveling 10) because of the racial(20%(?) speedboost in 20sec)
Perfekt at leveling. Instans attacks at range, traps, pets, ++
