Even if your Hunter has avoided it in the past, PvP combat is in their future. Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) has brought more advanced, real time battles to the game.

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 special 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 trend toward PvP combat in the gaming industry, you’ll surely see more even more PvP in WoW in the future. Here’s what you need to know to handle your Hunter in this new world:

Playing a Hunter class character in WoW PvP requires many of the same skills real hunter possess. You need to be able to identify the target and understand its likely behavior so you can anticipate what it will do next. In addition, you need to know your own capabilities and the capabilities of your gear. And you need to be able to maneuver into the optimal position to take out your prey before they can take you out.

But playing a hunter in PvP involves much more than that. Understanding the optimum time to deploy your Freezing and Frost Traps and essential crowd control devices is one thing. You need to know how to manage the space between you and your prey 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.

If you want to be really successful 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. At the same time, you have to have a strategy for countering quick charges into hand-to-hand combat range by Warriors and Rogues.

You can learn much of what you need to win as a Hunter in PvP simply by spending time in the arena. But I know, from personal experience that if you try, you had better be prepared to get crushed and humiliated for a long time. I spent many frustrating hours ranking last or near last in the standings when I tried. It wasn’t until I picked up a Hunter PvP Guide that I was able to make real progress.

Because a quality Hunter PvP Guide contains the hard-earned experience of veteran Hunters, it 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.
