Warsong Gulch

For the very first time ever I played in the battlegrounds. Why did I wait, you might ask? Because I was told hunters didn't do very well. I won't say who told me that. Anyway, it was awesome fun. The Horde lost each time but I experienced the joy killing enemy players brings. I garnered more kills and honor points than orcish hubby who has done battlegrounds before. I very neatly placed my freezing traps and once or twice prevented an Alli from escaping with my flag. The little warlocks and rogues were horrible. I'd kill the warlock and then seconds later find myself in the graveyard. I neglected to notice all the leaches they had put on me. And the rogues! I'd put on hidden tracking and Hunter's Mark them but they still managed to stun me and then dance around in glee as they slowly stabbed me to death. Once though I won that dance (granted the rogue was almost dead and wasn't trying very hard to kill me but rather get away). The other classes didn't bother me much. Dammy commented that each player fears different classes. My question was, who fears hunters? I didn't feel very feared. But I'll be going back. I have acquired a taste for Alli blood and they're all my level (no ?? dudes killing me at random. I have yet to meet an Alli guy that's within 4 levels of me running round doin' my daily grind). And there are more of these battleground things like the Arathi Basin. FOR THE HORDE!

Congrats on finding WSG so early. And I am glad you are having fun.

Who ever told you that Hunters don't do very well in BG don't know what they are talking about. And don't know how to play a hunter. We are not talking arena this is BG. Wide open space to shoot down the enemy.

Rogues have issue with hunters in the lower brackets. Just as much you do them. Don't just keep your eyes on the look out but ears to. When you hear that rogue *swish* of one in stealth. MOVE.

Always have your pet on aggressive and watch them. They will tell you where a hidden rogue is.

Hope that helps a little. And it is a WSG weekend so additional honor gained.

For the Horde! (or Kill the Horde!)

I fear hunters. Sort of. It is more that I find them a pain to kill. If the hunter is good they will keep their distance and I won't be able to kill them. Now Warlocks... Ah, those I fear...

Oh, and I am paladin.

Everyone should fear a Hunter, we snare you trap you stun you eat your mana strip your buffs and all kinds of nasty things. More as you get higher.You will find your self target #1 as you get higher. Everyone knows kill the hunter first druid second rogue third and priest 4th when those are out of the way the rest will fall.

Im joking btw. But in the smaller instance of WSG you might find your self the prime target now and again.

Being a hunter myself (NE, sry), here are some tips that I have learned:

* Distance is key, you kill more the more you stay away. The hunter has various ways to create distance (Wing Clip, Frost Trap, Freeze Trap, Concussion Shot).

* Remember to pop Scorpid Sting. Chance to miss is always good. Pop Serpent Sting on rogues. Rogues your lvl don't got Cloak of Lameness yet, so putting DoTs on them are great.

* Teach your pet Dash (if possible). It will keep people from running away as easy. Another good pet option is getting a scorpid whose poison is nice.

* Remember to pop trinkets, rapid fire, things with cooldowns. that little extra dmg can sometime seperate death and victory.

* Get a PvP set of gear. I'm not talking purples and such. I'm talking normal greens and blues. Load up on STA and AGI. PvP is about surviving in most cases, so the more HP you got, the better off. But of course it is a balance.

* Learn to kite people. This will take lots and lots of practice.

Those are only some of the many tips I could give you, but I really need to get back to work :)

I'll write more later. I hope that helps.

PS - If you learn to kite, rogues will fear you. that and squishys fear you.

I'm a hunter too...but I don't PvP. I hate hearing orcs & trolls dancing over my corpse yelling "For the Horde!"

Bah. May Elune light your way! :D

Guildless.

Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

On being Horde.

Obviously we no longer play Horde side. Wulfa has a 70, 45, 32 and numerous other alliance alts now. I've got a 63, 46, 20, 16, 11, 8, 8 Alliance side(all my alliance alts are new since we moved over to Kael'thas, wulfa's playing two characters that already existed before our horde characters were started). But we are two and a half ORCS. Not two and a half random alliance characters. This makes it hard sometimes when I see links to my site or I see a horde shaman etc. It is kind of like going back to your home town and seeing people you used to know and they ask you how your ex-girlfriend is doing. They don't know you split up. You don't really want to talk about it. Etc. Sometimes I think fondly about getting on my Horde shaman and leveling a bit. Nothing ever comes of it. And even less will in the future as I get further and further away from wanting to play those toons. There are things I like on the Alliance side. I like the Dreanai. A lot. Even th...
