Dominate All Kinds of PvP with this Hunter Guide

PvP combat is in your Hunter’s future, even if you’ve avoided it so far. Wrath of the Lich King has brought a new emphasis to Planet PvP. There’s now a real time PvP battle zone called Lake Wintergrasp. There, the emphasis is on real-time Planet PvP. There players battle on the live server to earn points they can use to buy a wide variety of special items, including the new Heirloom items. These are items that any of the player’s characters in that account regardless of that character’s level can take advantage of.

With Lake Wintergrasp’s high popularity, and the increasing amount of PvP combat in other well loved games, there will surely be even more Planet PvP in the future. So let’s talk about Hunters and PvP:

If you want to be a Hunter in PvP combat, it helps to have the instincts of a hunter. Why? Because you’re going to need to be able to identify your prey and know how it will behave in various situations. You need this information so you can hunt it down and terminate it. You need to know the capabilities of your character and its gear, as well as the tactical situation. Then you need to maneuver into position and terminate your prey with farthest prejudice before it can take you down. In WoW PvP, it’s much the same, apart from that your prey is another player’s character as a replacement for of an animal.

But, in Hunter PvP combat, there are issues that no real-planet hunter has to deal with. Understanding the right time to use your Freezing and Frost Traps and essential crowd control devices is de rigueur but not enough. You need to know how to manage the interval between you and your opponents so you can cause as much ranged hurt as possible in each duel. And you must do all this against an intelligent character, rather than a wild animal.

To truly succeed in Hunter PvP combat, you need to know the behavior of each class of opponent and have a approach for dealing with them. In particular you need to know how Druids or Warriors or Rogues are likely to come at you. And you need to know how to counter those classes that can close to melee combat range quickly, such as Warriors and Rogues.

It’s possible to learn what you need to know by putting in enough time in the arena. But from my own personal experience, if you try this you can expect to get defeated regularly and be humiliated for a long time. You don’t want to know how many hours I spent at the bottom of the standings in the arena before I irrevocably started getting the hang of it. Once I started reading a Hunter PvP Guide, I started climbing in the standings rapidly.

Because a quality PvP Guide incorporates the hard-earned experience of Hunters with a vast amount of experience, it will contain information that you’re unlikely to learn on your own. It will teach you the most vital things to know, saving you a huge check of time you would otherwise have to spend dying in battle before you become excellent at PvP combat.

Get Rich as a WoW Herbalist

Herbs are vital materials for making the potions and flasks that raiders rely on. That includes all the Runic Mana Potions that are so vital to high-level raids. When you look at how rare some of these herbs are, and the value of the items they get made into, it isn’t hard to see that a smart herbalist can make a huge profit.

Herbalism and Mining are both gathering skills, but they have some key differences. While minerals tend to be clustered around the edges of zones or in the mountainous areas, herbs pop up all over the place. You’re going to have to scout out each new zone carefully to figure out the best route for gathering the herbs you want.

Once you’ve gathered up some of the herbs you want to work with, you have a few more vital decisions to make. The initially is whether to sell your stockpile as is, or somehow turn the mats (materials) into the potions and elixirs players are really looking for, and sell those refined products. The choice will vary depending on the herb in question, the situation in the Auction House, and of course whether you have access to an Elixir or Potion Master that will do the actual conversions for you.

Also factoring into this choice is the question of how you will sell the raw materials or refined products. For some products, it makes more sense to sell them in small batches. For others, it makes more sense to group them as full stacks. Figuring out the right thing to do on your own is possible, but can be very time consuming.

A top-quality WoW Gold Guide will have an Herbalism section that helps you to answer these questions and gives you information that makes Herbalism very profitable for you.
