<strong>Melee Fighting</strong><br> Compared to their ranged abilities, a hunters melee strength is very weak. We have hardly any melee abilities besides Raptor Strike and our melee AP formula is lower than pure melee fighters. On top of that hunters should pick weapons that help their ranged damage stats and will usually be weaker than melee weapons.<br> A hunter shouldn't abandon melee completely though. Instead of focusing on damage dealing focus on hindering. Abilities like Wingclip, Counter Attack and immobilizing traps are very useful in PVP situations but can only be done in melee range. Other times the terrain won't allow you enough line of sight to shoot your enemies and you will need to kite them to a more suitable location. When your enemy gets close to you attack him and root him in place, then run away till it is safe enough to shoot.<br> Damage dealing melee shouldn't be completely forgotten though. Ammo is expensive, so if your enemy is very low on health or you are farming much weaker mobs charge in and start hitting. If your pet is still holding aggro this is even more reason. But in a group or raid stick to shooting.<br> <strong>Kiting</strong><br> Kiting is a special technique where you attack your enemy while running and eventually wear them down. Kitting is very useful when soloing elite monsters and other players in PVP because while it takes a long time to accomplish, if done correctly you can take down almost any monster.<br> The basic strategy of kiting is to attack from maximum distance and shoot as much as possible. When the enemy gets in melee range use a snare ability then run away to maximum range again. Your first shots are critical because this will be the only chance you have to use heavy damage abilities like Aimed Shot. Abilities with cast times are not as efficient in the long run as using autoshoot or instant cast shots. After you have opened up use Concussive Shot to give you some extra shooting time. Before the mob reaches you set your freezing trap and run away so it is between you and the mob. When the mob is frozen and you are out of range immediately turn around and shoot it again. If it has taken less than ten seconds for you to get out of range you might want to use a hard hitting attack again like Aimed Shot. A nice strategy is to set you trap before you pull and wait about twenty five seconds. This will let your traps cooldown expire and you can set another one when it gets near the second time. If you can't set anymore traps or they are resisted wait for the target to get in melee range and then hit them with Wingclip or if possible Counter Attack. This will slow them down and give you a chance to run away.<br> Strategies for kiting also depend on what you are trying to kite. PVE mobs will always follow you in a straight line and won't stop unless you get too far away from their spawn point. In general if you are kitting something you will want to try and go in a big circle, avoiding other mobs so you don't get adds. In PVP the target is another thinking person and kitting is more difficult. If they get too low on health they may run away and if your are too far you won't be able to catch up. When kitting another player you don't want to get too far ahead and will rely more on stuns and snares than distance.<br> Pets can be a hindrance while kiting unless you manage them correctly. They can break freezing traps and if you aren't careful they will pull aggro. You want to always have the monsters attention so turn Growl off and have them lightly DPS. Stings are another thing to watch out for while kitting. Serpent Sting is dangerous until you have passed the trap phase. Viper sting is safe though and should be up at all times if the target is a mana user.<br> <strong>Pulling</strong><br> One of our most used roles in a group is to pull mobs back to the other party members. In fact hunters are arguably the best pullers in the game. If the pull goes bad they can instantly abort it and reset the encounter. If you accidentally pull two groups instead of one you can use Feign Death. Feign Death wipes all of your aggro and the mobs will run back to their original places. (Note, this doesn't work if you use Misdirection, but more on that in a bit.)<br> Hunters are also great pullers because they can crowd control (CC) right when the pull starts. By setting down a Freezing Trap the front runner of the mobs will be frozen in ice for twenty seconds, enough time for the group to burn through one or two of the other mobs.<br> A hunter puller is also great because they are able to manipulate threat onto the tank. At level seventy hunters get the ability Misdirection, which transfers all of the threat from your next three attacks to another party member. If you do a misdirection pull your tank will start off with a large amount of aggro and be able start DPSing sooner. A problem with Misdirection though is that most shots and stings will also use an Auto shoot charge and you will only be able to use two attacks to give threat. There is a way around this though below.<br> Now its time to learn how to actually pull. Your first job is to cast Misdirection onto the Tank. It will only last for thirty seconds though so hurry and head towards the targeted mobs. Lay down a freezing trap and use Aimed Shot on the first target. You should use Aimed shot because you will have time to cancel Auto shoot before it eats up one of your charges. When the mobs get into range use Multishot. Even though it hits - <br> multiple targets it still only counts as one attack. When doing a Multipull, mobs that don't take damage and simply link have less aggro than mobs that do take damage. By using a Multishot you give the tank aggro over all of the mobs at once. You can then use your final attack on the tanks target. If the first target is almost dead though and you still have misdirection up use a shot on the tanks next target. At this point you can assist the tank and begin DPSing the enemies down. <p>when u want to buy WoW Game , plz go to cheap World of Warcraft Gold cheap WOW Gold</p> <p>when u want to buy WoW item , plz go to cheap World of Warcraft items cheap WOW items</p> <p>when u want to buy WoW Currency , plz go to cheap World of Warcraft money cheap WOW money</p> <p>when u want to buy WoW Power leveling , plz go to cheap World of Warcraft power leveling cheap WOW power leveling</p> <p>when u want to buy WoW Account , plz go to cheap World of Warcraft accounts cheap WOW accounts</p> <p>when u want to buy WoW cdkeys , plz go to cheap World of Warcraft cdkeys cheap WOW cdkeys</p> <p>when u want to buy WoW Guide , plz go to World of Warcraft guides WOW guides</p> <p>This extract is from WoW Free guide</p> <p>I want to recommend to a good website : game2sale World of Warcraft Gold cheap WOW Gold
