WOW Hunter Leveling & Quest Guide
A party needs someone to keep tracked of whats going on within the group, this is usually the Hunters job. The Hunter is often used to attract foe’s from a distance and draw them close to the group to divide and conquer. The Hunter is in charge of watching over the group, warning them of incoming foe’s and keeping the group out of harms way. The Hunters lack of self healing abilities are countered by their regular avoidance of hand to hand combat in group play.
One downside of being a Hunter is that you will be asked to be the storage unit for the group, storing ammo food/water etc.. The Hunter doesn’t just hang out behind the rest of the group. The Hunter is the long range fire arm expert and is the only character that can rapidly fire long range fire arms using the Auto Shot skill. The Hunter also is the beast master of world of warcraft, befriending wild pets to fight along side them.
The Hunter can be a challenging character to play in the beginning but it is a very powerful class that is easy to level up and considered to be very valuable to any group when played correctly.

Some points to consider when choosing a Hunter race:
Which Hunter race you select will effect the way you will play in world of warcraft so don’t just choose one at random. Whether you prefer Alliance or Horde doesn’t make much difference as either one makes for a good Hunter. With the Burning Crusade expansion the draenei race is available to be a Hunter, otherwise you may choose a dwarf or night elf. I personally prefer dwarves as Alliance hunters because of their Gun specialization and Stoneform spell but that certainly doe’s not mean dwarves are the only good Hunters. Naturally stealth is beneficial when playing a Hunter so the night elf is a great choice due to Prowl and Shadowmeld abilities. Many players consider the night elf to be the best choice for an Alliance Hunter. The draenei race has Heroic Presence and Gift of the Naaru which adds bonus to the hunter and the hunters pets along with healing properties.
The Horde races are equally effective at being a Hunter.
Naturally the trolls Berserker DPS increase and Bow Specialization makes them formidable Hunters. The trolls are very well rounded Hunters as they also have a damage bonus to beasts using Beast Slaying. And to top it off they can use Regeneration for health restoration. Using the taurens Warstomp skill the Hunter is able to detain its foe’s without going hand to hand with them. On the flip side the orc’s use their Hardiness ability to reduce stun effect duration by 15% and they also use Command to give their pets a 5% damage bonus. Finally if you have the Burning Crusade expansion you may choose the blood elf as a Hunter using Arcane Torrent as an effective strike against enemy casters and it also is a fast way to replenish the Hunters mana.
When you are first starting out you are very limited as to how you can play. Every character is different and needs to be played differently, the sooner you learn how your character works the better. Whenever possible don’t stay in the heat of battle too long and get your character killed. Keep yourself out of the scrap in the beginning to prevent having your character die too often. Pay close attention to leveling and questing and be sure to do every quest you can get your hands on. Before moving to a new region check that you have completed every quest where you are now, this will help in leveling your character up.
