love it BRK, nice work showing the beginners the way to use your hunter to the full extent and show them how to use strafe and jumpshot from start :) this will save many a hunter life, and even help those that want to go for the hunter epic quest since both you and me know that you will need all your skulle if you are to complete it, atleast if you want the challange and do it on 60 like the rest of us :)

Like josh, I thought mobility comes natural to hunters.

Sure you can use kiting in agressive territory, just apply some situation awareness. You always work yourself into an area, thus leaving your back open for retreat. It's not uncommon for pets to lose agro, fighting oranges or multiples. If you accidentally shoot first or your pet misses, you might want to move it, move it. I like to... move it.

I'm thrilled about getting BRK content at PL, love the enthusiasm in the vids.

I appreciate the video as it teaches newbies to the class some useful tips. But that "fake" (assumption) accent really grates on my nerves.

So please, if you're gonna do more vids, take some tips from Dr Dorkins or don't do it (accent) at all.

PS: This mojo needs more handsome Taurens. FOR THE HORDE!

Hi all, love the shows, great to watch fun and really enjoyable

I my self know also alot of the things i see but i do know the movies are also good for people who just started WoW and even for those who just didnt notice things or didnt see them yet.

Unlike some people think some things are for retards, i see its not only for the so godly skilled players out there that grew up in WoW since age 5... O_o

These guys do a really great job by showing how the game is, playing togetter in a group and show you around. Not all people play the game like some DIEHARD hardcore players out there. You had to start to as a newbie so please stop being a bad person and call names, dont watch if u dont like it and let people who do like it enjoy it. Thats why these people do it for the enjoyment for them not for you who knows all and not respect them for doing it for FREE.IF you can do what theses guys do and are so incredible skilled like them or even better then it be nice if you also add your 2 cents and help .. Ill bet thats to much to ask for, better to flame people who do something for fun for others. on a blog..

I really didnt want to flame but for months i see really disrespectful people out there who dont see these guys do it for fun and for free for people who do enjoy it..so excuse me for this. Have fun guys as allways, and keep them coming.

wow no wonder i never got a hunter past level 5 cause i was using the melee weapon instead of the ranged -_-' thank you brk for the tips i shall go play a hunter now :D

March 13, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermark

i find that kiting enemies at level one is just a big waste yea it is true kiting is a vital skill if you wanto play a hunter i should no i have 73 from 1-10 i shot and melee it was much harder back when i started him before the BC it much easier now with all the improvements of the hunter abilitys and it worked well so if you wanto practice the whole kiting thing for higher fine i just dont think at low level tanking is taht big a deal its not that hard with all the dazes tehy have now

March 14, 2009 | Unregistered Commentercocopuff

March 14, 2009 | Unregistered Commentercocopuff

i usually never hit a mob with a melee weapon from level 1-10 or 1-12 when you get the slowing hit, by the way great video hope you will make more series ^^

First off I have to say that I really appreciate the work that you're doing. My main character once I started getting into wow was a tauren hunter. That hunter did everything: quests, BGs, instances, the lot. I even managed to get him to 70 and then stopped. But through that adventure, I became extremely bored of him at times. I felt like I was doing the same thing over and over again, and until now I didn't realize that I was playing him wrong. I had never tried to make sure that I was out of melee range. I had never tried to make sure that my pet got full agro. I had never tried to make sure that I was doing more than standing in one spot, drooling and shooting arrows/bullets. So now I started a new one. A night elf hunter. And I have to say, all of the quests that I found difficult in the NE starting zone on my druid (when I first started wow) are MUCH easier now on my hunter. I'm playing it like you show here in the video, I'm growing out of the huntard-itude and I'm LOVING it. I've not experienced this much fun with a character in a long long time. So thanks for reinvigorating that feeling and for the advice. I've already reached level 8 in no time, and I hope to level and grow and keep up with your videos. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how I can improve more, especially once I get a pet.

If you're on executus, BRK, feel free to whisper malte.

Peace

LOL How bored are you...Awesome vid

March 18, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLaretes

LOVE These videos, they are what got me to attempt a hunter again. For years I'd get bored with the hunter because it felt like a wannabe tank...boy was I a Huntard!

Gotta question that I've yet to see answered in the videos. How do you use these tips in close spaces? Outside, I was using each tip to it's fullest, yet as soon as I got into the troll cave (playing a dwarf as well) I ended up having to switch to melee :(

March 23, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHalrogh

WHOA... Nice but could Jeff make one with a Pally becouse thats what I play, and im confused with wich Seal to use.
