Survival: Hunter tanks (in melee!), Pet offers close support(!).Īs you can obviously see, even just that brief description of basic strategies shows how seriously the fundamentals of playing as a melee Hunter inverts the Conventional Wisdom™ of how you're "supposed" to play the class. Marksman: Pet tanks (at range), buff the Hunter.
#HASTEN RECOVERY MONSTER HUNTER HOW TO#
The basic strategies for how to "use" your Pet essentially boil down to the following three options depending on which talent tree you invest heavily in:īeast Master: Pet tanks (at range), buff the Pet. The thing is, this isn't the ONLY way the combination of Hunter and Pet ought to be performing. and this is essentially true for both Beast Masters and Marksmen. That's mainly because the Conventional Wisdom™ has hardened around the notion that as a (solo) Hunter you're supposed to be using your Pet as an aggro magnet so that you can plink stuff from a distance using your ranged weapon. that you're "doing it wrong" by not using your Pet to tank for you. Probably the first misconception that Players have about being a melee oriented Hunter is the most common. which is that if you're going to play a melee Hunter, how should you go about supporting such a build choice? In what direction do the advantages and strategies lie? What counter-intuitive things do you need to know/unlearn in order to play "efficiently" with a deep Survival spec, as opposed to a deep Beast Master or deep Marksman spec? And what Pet should you be using (and why)? This post is basically an answer to a question of mine. The primary purpose of this build is to explore the possibility of a potential off-meta spec which I have not seen anyone show (enough) interest in (yet) to post an actual build for. I am not interested in speed running to 60 and will be taking my time to enjoy the game, therefore I have no problem with "being slower" than alternative build strategies in terms of XP per hour.

I have been lurking these forums for weeks already, and am well aware of the "BM for leveling!" exhortations that have been made repeatedly for leveling builds, particularly for those who are interested in speeding through to 60. If anything, it is intended to be a viable melee Hunter spec to be played for FUN as a soloist and in 5 man groups in PvE content. This is not intended to be a bleeding edge DPS optimized raiding Hunter spec that will put everything else to shame. I played on a PvE server then and I'm playing on Darrowshire now, since PvP does not interest me. I played World of Warcraft in the 2005-2007 time frame before moving on to other games, so I do have experience with playing all 8 Alliance classes to Level 50 or so a decade ago.
