Hunting the Hunter Guide
With several changes affecting the Hunter class with the latest patch,
it was time for an update. In this update Byron "Messiah" Mudry looks
at scare beast, PvP combat, Hunter skills and talents and much more. No
matter what type of Hunter you play the guide has something for you.
Lastly, you can only shoot at opponents in front of
you, so you need to
learn the jump shot ability. A jump shot is usually done with an arcane
shot, and is basically a fast mouse flick and key press. What you do is
run from the enemy (using mouse movement) and then jump in the air.
While in the air you flick the mouse to the side so that you are facing
backwards, then press the button on your keyboard you have mapped for
your arcane shot. Once you shot you flick the mouse back so you are
still running away from your opponent when you land. It can be
difficult to learn but is a critical PvP ability. Whenever concussive
shot is off cooldown, it is also a great shot to use for a jump shot.
