PVP Content
PvP content is basically split into Arena, Battlegrounds and world PvP. Hunter’s utilities make them an excellent class for PvP. Hunters play style will depend on his spec but in the end it all breaks down to who will gain control of the fight, and to do so you will have to keep your enemies in check. Hunter is very dangerous when he has range from his target but rather weak when in your melee range. Make sure that your target is always at the desired distance and use your abilities to accomplish that.
Disengage, traps and various shoots can make this happen but sometimes that is just not enough. Most common spec for PvP hunters is definitely survival due to high amount of burst damage and survivability, MM or marksmanship is somewhat not so common spec as it offers less survivability followed by beast mastery in third place. Question that you need to ask is which pet will help me be in control? Answer is, usually Crab and Spider, and those are the most common used pets in arenas and battlegrounds. Every hunter needs to know how to properly kite his targets otherwise he won’t be able to defeat his enemy.
Spiders
Spiders are very good in PvP probably even the best and immobilize effect from their web ability with cunning talent tree is the reason why most hunters use them. Web ability has a rather short cool down of 40 seconds and if you use it properly with the rest of your abilities it will be more than enough to always keep a distance from your target. The fact that web attack cannot be dispelled makes it even better. The week point of them is that they will not produce a lot of damage like ferocity pets or have survivability of tenacity pets. They are also easy to feed as their diet is meat! If you would like more information on WoW guides check out one of our popular guides here: Dugi’s Ultimate WoW Guide
Crab pets
Crabs are also very popular for PvP for their pin effect which makes targets immobilized but the down part is that the effect is dispellable. Good thing is that Crabs are Tenacity pets and thus have high survivability.
PVE
Raiding is most popular and fun aspect of PvE content. Main task of any hunter in raid is of course doing maximum dps, after all they are a pure dps class. Beast mastery dps is too weak when it comes to raiding and both Marksmanship and Survival are hand in hand superior to it. Pets for PvE hunters are basically easy to pick as ferocity is the way to go for PvE, ferocity is all about doing the maximum damage. Deciding on which pet is best for PvE content is easy and it is definitely wolf because he is superior to other ferocity pets! Furious howl ability will boost both yours and your pets attack power by 320 for 20 seconds with 40 seconds cool down. Talents of ferocity tree are built around increasing your pet’s survivability and damage of both you and your pet’s damage done.
