Hunter

a couple infos regarding hunter build, and how to play it first thing to check is your talents for survival, you are highly invited to check bicmex youtube , twitch , and google sheets, which will give you more than any infos needed spec for bm on 10 1 x b0pailfmjenhneougfv8ij2usjgwsaabaaaaaaaaaagmkkiggscjskdekcplijkikorcj spec for mm on 10 1 x b4pai6hz82/avtzsb0bpjw+5yjbabaphaaaaaajjejjjiisk0iphkkcpo5akehgeeaaaaaac hunter spells and when to chose them binding shot vs scatter shot scatter is on paper better lets you cross cc meaning in 3v3 you can scatter after a trap to cc 2 targets at a time lets you safely root trap someone interrupts someone who is casting a cc, a dangerous spell, or just a melee bursting however it has some draw backs applies some dr on incapacitates breaks on damage if you play with someone with dots, you will fuck him up so overall, you should almost never take scatter in solo shuffle if you play with a dotter affli lock ( or even any lock spec in general ) elem sham shadow priest unholy dk meaning you should take binding shot binding shot also helps you in some situation vs dangerous pets (bm hunter, demono lock) vs double melees if you play with someone who cant stun the main drawbacks or binding shots is applying a stun dr, meaning any subtlety rogue will hate you if you fuck their setups be mindful about that steel trap vs serpent sting usually you will play with steel trap anytime you face at least 1 melee, or you play vs a healer you could abuse to steel trap after a freezing trap serpent sting is very good however in games that will be end with high dampening as it will help you having a better damage over time and pressure when dampening gets higher intimidation vs explosive trap if you dont take intimidation you're trolling explosive trap can be fun in bgs / rbgs even more in eye of the storm , but usually you will really need it in arena we will now talk about pvp talents any talents i do not present about can be completely forgotten pvp talents (general) darts is good vs druids you will lower 8 hots or even more important buff every time you dispels or interrupts helps a lot applying pressure diamond ice is good in very specifics situations you know you wont be able to trap without getting in danger (facing double melees) and you need to trap one of the dps to survive i only use it on mm in these situations where i know my trap on the healer is not required to win the round i only use it on mm in these situations where i know my trap on the healer is not required to win the round you play vs shadow priest or a warlock that will play dispel trap ( no matter your spec) ( no matter your spec) you will also play with absolute animals in low rating that will break your trap at every single opportunity never ever will a dh cancel aura his burns or anything if you feel you are playing with subhumans you can also take it to secure your trap you will also play with absolute animals in low rating that will break your trap at every single opportunity never ever will a dh cancel aura his burns or anything if you feel you are playing with subhumans you can also take it to secure your trap hunting pack is extremely good in general to help you kite melees pairing a freedom effect (such as master's call) with aspect of the cheetah helps you really kite away however, you need to know if the round will last longer than 3 mins if it will not, then maybe you won't be able to use it twice this is very good in almost every situation this is a very strong talent that can be used in many situations after a trap, to extend cc before a trap, to prevent somehow from using a spell to dodge it on a caster bursting (including enhancement shaman and rets) on a melee range to slow it a lot (however it's value really is lowered in this situation (however it's value really is lowered in this situation pvp talents (specialization) for marksmanship sniper shot can be taken in some occasions you play with a class that can stun a lot (dh, rogue, feral, war) you know for sure you will not be focused this round trueshot mastery is almost mandatory in solo shuffle most rounds will last a little bit below 3 mins and lowered the cooldown of trueshot allows you using it twice, with the second use letting you score a kill however, if you are blessed to be queued with a paladin tank as a healer, maybe it's not worth it the extra 100 focus on use is also a great thing to have ranger finesse is great versus melees because it lets you bump people really far away, and it lets you slow them more it lowers aspect of the turtle usually not to a point it will allow to use it twice in a shuffle round, but who knows for beast mastery i dont like it at all it could be good in zug zug solo shuffle rounds when you need to tunnel someone and you dont want to get feared however i feel you have better alternatives an absolute must versus melees cleave or any melee that want to tunnel you or your teammate your freedom becomes a 23 seconds cooldown i really find a lot of value in this spell on top of that you will also freedom people around you which is a nice added bonus do not overuse it versus moonkin, always keep it to freedom a root beam on your healer (the rotation will do it automatically for you) do not overuse it versus moonkin, always keep it to freedom a root beam on your healer (the rotation will do it automatically for you) for survival mandatory versus melees in which disarm is worth it and it spread, so it has a lot of value versus melee cleaves warrior, rogue, dh, any times you face a sub rogue allowing you to range disarm him on his go is really great tracker's net has a huge drawback it applies a root dr on a target, however the 80% to miss while having the net on the target is really good i still have mixed feeling about this even more since tar trap applies a root now which lets us secure a steel trap this is mandatory versus feral druids and assasination rogue or if you're playing in a 2v2 situation without a healer the bleeds dispel completely negates these guys burst and pressure some tips on hunter ccing melees for a long time let's take this example situation 1 you are in melee range of a melee guy who wants to kill you you should back away so you are still in line of sight (los) of your healer you get the enemy out of sight of his healer then this happens situation 2 now out of sight of the dh, you can tar trap (4 seconds root) tar trap root does not incur a diminishing return on roots tar trap root does not incur a diminishing return on roots steel trap ( 6 seconds root) (10 seconds total) freezing trap ( 6 seconds incapacitates) (16 seconds in total) (if the dampening is high enough and you do not need to trap to win but just pump damage) (if the dampening is high enough and you do not need to trap to win but just pump damage) meanwhile the healer, in order to apply either a freedom or a dispel on the dh will need to get into an insecure positioning which should make it vulnerable to cc
