Wow Hunter PvP

There are few things more effective in WoW than a player who is really good at Hunter PvP. It does not matter if you are just starting to explore the Battlegrounds with your Hunter, or you've got hundreds or thousands of kills under your belt, no doubt you are looking for ways to improve your Kill count and earn more Honor Points per session. After all Honor = Gear!

The rewards of effective PvP play are staggering. By racking up Honor Points you make available to your Hunter a whole new world of gear, weapons and armor that non PvP players (or bad PvP players) simply don't have access to. Add to the great loot the playing experience of one on one battle in the chaotic environment of the player vs player system and your entire understanding of both your character and the overall game mechanics greatly improve. There is no doubt that Hunters that learn how to really clean up in PvP also do well above average in the regular environment and in raiding situations.

In the regular environment (excluding Raid situations) of the World of Warcraft there is a great deal more leeway in playing style. A Hunter of any spec, gear setup and pet choice will pretty much do all right in most situations. He (or she) will be able to pretty much get by, take down mobs, rack up XP, make some gold and so on...it is not as detailed and demanding. You are able to stray from your spec, use your pet a bit against it's purpose and generally feel your way though.

When you put a Hunter in PvP, however, things are radically different. When running in Player vs Player, if you want to do well, you simply have to know what you are doing. There is no "One Man Show" in this situation. The ability to read those around you, both friend and enemy, and then use your Hunter to the best of his (or her!) ability is critical. Where in the normal game a Hunter can get away with a bit of sloppy play for the most part in the Battlegrounds a Hunter must be able to play it's part and play it well.

A big reason many World of Warcraft players, Hunters probably more so than others, get frustrated with PvP is it's tough! It can be demoralizing and frustrating. Getting killed over and over, watching seemingly inferior low level players eat you for lunch and overall confusion drive many from this ultimately rewarding, and really enjoyable, aspect of the game.

Don't get frustrated and deny your Hunter access to all the rewards and benefits of PvP play! Take your time, learn the ins and outs, understand how to play to your characters strengths. It will be well worth the effort, and you'll have a blast doing it!
