Yeah, this'll definitely become a Hunter site, what with theire Tanking 101 and Melee DPS 101 sections. How could I have missed that?
Oh man this guy is fantastic!!!
When I made my hunter years ago I ran around hitting stuff with my little dagger :-)
Hehe I love this guy :D
Once played an orc hunter to 70 over a year ago. While I never was a melee huntard I didn't know the strafing button/move and didn't do the jump one. Although I don't exactly pull aggro since was BM and rarely pvp so wasn't too big of deal.
Be interesting to see what other tips you have as the hunter progresses since I'm Alliance now I been thinking of playing a hunter again since its been change so much since then. Probably go dwarf and be willing to see what other corrections I can do to go from average to at least above average.
Look forward to the next hunter vid.
Nice vid BRK... Entertaining to say the least.
Keep it up!
I loved the vid BRK!
But one thing... it seemed awfully familiar to your newbie hutner guides posted on your site.... down to the hair and everything...
But oh well! I love your voice and always stay up to date on your blog. You inspired me to be a hunter and strive to be top DPS and I'm never going back baby!
On the one hunter I have, I use the backing up strat, didn't think of the other two as a possibility. I'm going to send this to a couple of my friends who are always playing hunters but can't seem to get them rolling good.
BRK is the man, i already watched your hunter tutorial on utube, as well as all your videos. I started a hunter from it and am already 75. <3 BRK
that was really helpful..i've sent the link to all my hunter friends, so they can stop being called 'huntards'.
yeah... that good till you lvl up to 3... cuz u wont be able to do that in enemy teritory (agressive mobs)
loved it <3 ...i waited for so long for a detailed leveling of a hunter from an expert :D
that BigRedKitty is awesome , so charimatic and witty
-keep it up :]
@ Geoff
LOL seriously that tac is called kidding its something that u learn at lvl 1-80 lol i do it all the time on my lvl 8 hunter
I think you meant "Kiting".
The important thing about jump shooting is that it's the best way to kite mobs and other players in PvP.
Even specced as BM, some times you DO get aggro from your pet, and at that moment it is a good time to start keeping those mouse buttons down and start jumping.
Kiting becomes an necessity in PvP, as every melee class wants to come close and rape you, and you better keep the distance. You really can't afford those warriors and rogues to come to melee range even for a few seconds (especialy retardins, as they can stun kill you with their mighty Divine Storm and Hammer of Justice paired with their 100% crit Judgement of Command).
But kiting has very low use in raids, the only one I know right now is the Gluth fight in Naxxramas, where it's the hunters main job to kite the mean little zombies.
For the next episode i'm going to hope he doesn't speak as if we're all idiots. This video was a waste of time. If you actually need these kinds of videos, then you should probably go play another game.
Scourgem, it must be fantastic to be proficient in all things, always.
Thank god you're humble about it, or you'd be at risk of becoming a giant dick.
Well...for all of you saying "you won't be able to do this in agressive territory", it's obvious you will not! That's why pets, traps and instant casts are there for. This is just a "starting" movie. Anyway, great piece of work! Perhaps some PVP'ing in the early future?
I think ur line about how this will prevent u from becoming a huntard really sold the whole presentation lol. Hopefully u can give the same insight as too how to use a pet, because as we have seen with Dorkins and Jimmy he has on more than one ocassion shown his huntardness. (they are hilarious though)
Hmm i really thought that if you had at least one level 80 by now you would be able to roll a hunter... aparrently the word "huntard" still exsits even though i thought people would get it by now... hunters are baicly like every other class, BUT pets are alittle tricky for the new hunters. Thanks BRK although i dont know if it'll improve the statis of hunters in my realm... theres probably just going to be more... and there probably going to be just as stupied as before lol.
This guy should try to sell some shamwows but i just find this vid unnecessary i mean a lvl 1 hunter unless you aggro 4 mobs you can't die you can play any way you want in the early lvls and still "Pwn shit up"
I love BRK! These videos need to totally be included in the episode feed.
Please Please Please have a word with some druid blogggers (grey matter perhaps) to see if they want to do a similar thing to this. i love PL but as a druid have always felt a little left out. i would love to see some druid based content
And Now I'm reay to level a Hunter. Why? Cause I Know It!
You have stolen this lady's hunter heart BRK. Keep em coming!
Is there any chance this will be added to the RSS feed?
When I created my first character (hunter) I just assumed that was the way to plan. "Don't get hurt, cause I'm wearing leather... Maybe I should keep moving?" It's amazing to think that folks feel otherwise when playing a Hunter.
I'm all far PvP tuts for Hunters as I seem to have quite a time with getting ganked by Death Knights, Rogues and Paladins. Granted I'm in combat when they attack, and I have no stun resistance, but still... Gotta be something I can do.
can you teach me one form to level up? how lvl 55? and
for more money?
