Nature’s Stalkers: World of Warcraft Hunters

World of Warcraft is a fantasy game of combat and magic, melee and mana. The various classes from which players can choose each have their own advantages and disadvantages: some are excellent spell casters, while others excel with swordplay. The player must decide on a class and a race before creating his or her character, and his or her decision effects the rest of the gaming experience. In fact, selecting a class especially is directly related to a player’s satisfaction with the game play: if the player wishes to run around the environment killing creatures, a magic-based class would make such a wish impossible. Careful selection of class and race are integral components of character design, and players should research their options carefully before selecting.

World of Warcraft hunters are characters in a class dedicated to nature and ranged-attack. Much like rangers, hunters walk the fine line between magic and melee; while they are strong and can stand their own in a fight, they also dabble in the world of sorcery and spell casting. Consequently, they are of a class best left to advanced players who know exactly what they want; an amateur player may view the World of Warcraft hunters with false expectations, growing disappointed and frustrated when game play is not easy.

Pets and Weapons

Within the game world, World of Warcraft hunters trust only their weapons and pets. Hunters can track, tame and train any wild animals or beasts found in the various realms. These pets add to the melee damage a hunter causes in combat, and can even be named and fed. World of Warcraft hunters also excel at most outdoor survival skills, including setting and detecting traps. They usually wear cloth or leather armor, and can wield most ranged and non-ranged weapons excluding wands and maces. However, World of Warcraft hunters cannot carry shields. While hunters can perform spells, they do not have large mana pools; players must be careful how many, and how frequently, spells are cast during game play.

Dwarves, trolls, night elves and blood elves are some of the races players can select to be World of Warcraft hunters. The race chosen by a player will affect both beginning statistics and certain racial attributes that can benefit or hinder the success of the hunter. While each race is always available, each is not always the best choice. World of Warcraft hunters are useful in player parties, however, due to their unique talents; they can pull mobs and set off chain traps that can both distract and taunt the enemy, leaving it an open target for other members in the party more apt for dealing large amounts of damage.
