The first real time PvP battle zone is Lake Wintergrasp. In this new zone, players go at it on the live server to earn points they can use to shop for all sorts of rare and valuable items, including the new Heirloom items that any character in their account regardless of that character’s level can take advantage of.
Given the popularity of Lake Wintergrasp and the increasing amount of PvP combat in other popular games, there will surely be even more World PvP in the future. So let’s talk about Hunters and PvP:
Playing a Hunter class character in WoW Player versus Player combat requires some of the skills of a real hunter. You need to be able to identify the target and figure out how it will react so you can anticipate what it will do next. You also need to know the capabilities of your character and its gear. And you need to be able to maneuver to the right position to take on your foe before they can take you down.
But playing a hunter in PvP involves much more than that. You need to know when and how to employ your Freezing and Frost Traps and essential crowd control devices is necessary but not enough. You also need to know how to maintain the ideal distance between you and your opponents to cause the most possible DPS damage in each duel. And you must do all this against a foe who is trying just as hard to out-think and out-maneuver you as you are to do the same to him.
To truly succeed in Hunter PvP combat, you need to know the strategy and tactics for killing each class of opponent. It’s particularly important to understand how Druids or Warriors or Rogues are likely to come at you. You also need to have a strategy for countering quick charges into hand-to-hand combat range by Warriors and Rogues.
It’s possible to learn what you need to know by putting in enough time in the arena. But from my own personal experience, if you try this you can expect to get defeated regularly and be humiliated for a long time. You don’t want to know how many hours I spent at the bottom of the standings in the arena before I finally started getting the hang of it. Once I started reading a Hunter PvP Guide, I started climbing in the standings rapidly.
Even if you do decide to learn the ins and outs of Hunter PvP combat yourself, you’ll find that a quality PvP Guide will contain strategies and tactics that are not obvious to newer players. In short, a good PvP Guide will save you a big block of time you would otherwise have to spend dying in battle before you become skilled at PvP combat.
