I'm surprised to hear you say you think the lone wolf build would be better. My problem with that build is that Flanking Strike is both a weapon and pet attack, which means that Flanking Strike and Lone Wolf are basically working against one another. Thoughts?
Flanking strike is a great ability that does 100% weapon damage and increases damage done by next raptor strike & Mongoose bite by 10% stacking up 3 times. Raptor has the ability to reset cooldown on Flanking. There I removed the pet from the tooltip :D
Good Video, For Melee Hunter: Like someone else said Bloodlash Bow should proc off melee hits making it an extra +50AP on proc for us with no ranged weaving making it much better than other ranged weapons. Also, Instead of Forest Stalker's Bracers (22 AP) you can use Experimental Aim Stabilizers (29 AP) and instead of Skullduggery Waistband (20 AP) for melee, you can use Darkvision Girdle (24 AP + 1% hit) even with the 15% extra agility from Lightning Reflex's, the raw AP from these items should be higher than if you stacked agility and the difference in crit is only 0.50%. Also the link to the Melee Hunter Armory does not link correctly unlike the BM/MM links.
The hit from the best seems to be more important for melee. Sweet. Gonna check the armory link. Something is wring I have only 3 specs. One disappeared.
New to playing WoW (First time player and only been playing for a month at this point). Please help me in becoming better! I thought hunters couldn't wear mail?

also for melee hunter builds you will be wanting the PVP epic bow from Bloodmoon event, the 50+ strength proc can proc on melee attacks so its quite big
I was looking at the PVP bow from stv is chance to proc 50 str for 15 seconds. If it procs in average like once /minute that means around 12 STR. We need to see the proc rate.
It might. Not even sure on what char to invest time. If I level a rogue for the new muti spec it might get nerfed until i reach 40. So I might stick to Mage/Hunter combo.
KC will never be a useful rune, and has a long CD. It's only a total of +120% pet ability damage every minute. Absolute peanuts. Also for the Melee build, the STV PvP bow will be BIS, as the +50STR triggers off melee attacks too.
This is complete speculation, but I gather that Blizz is pushing melee hunter really hard this phase, the bow is the sole good option in our PvP rewards, and they've said they're experimenting with this type of weapon (refering to this bow in specific over twitter). Taking all that into account, if the buff is deemed suboptimal even for melee hunters, I'd wager Blizz would buff its proc chance sooner rather than later.@@Frostadamus
Don't worry the Melee hunters are going to be top dps, its not copium its a reality also the epic bow from the STV event is going to be better since its effect is "on equip".
Flanking strike where your weapon dmg of you And your PET matters, it's useless to take lone Wolf... Guess right.. You got jo PET to activate lone Wolf Rune... So Flanking strike plus lone Wolf is useless... Lone Wolf only works for range gameplay
Not true, Flanking Strike is still good without a pet. While indeed you don't get a bonus pet attack out of it, you still get your own bonus attack + the extra damage buff on Raptor Strike (up to +30%). It's not optimal but far from useless. Also, what else would you take as a melee hunter in this slot? lol
Flanking is two hits with a pet, 1 attack without but is still usable, its just another 100% instant swing ability. Lone Wolf also is 30% for all damage, not just ranged damage.
Most accurate hunter guide well done🎉
Was it? Done this before the phase was out.

Great resource for hunter players. Thanks mate!
Cheers!
Super helpful thank you man been searching everywhere. I'm BM/ranged right now but I think I may try out MM next raid.
Thanks again!
Finally hunter :)
Thank you for churning out all those videos
Glad you like them!
Great video, hunter looks really fun!
It is! Gonna be my second char I will level to 40.
Good Video,

They learn at level 40 from class trainer.
Hunter are great.

HYPE!
Can we get a spec build fo people who grind like crazy? Like a solo grind BM build maybe?
The BM spec should be up there for grinding.
been leveling recently the hunt with BM spec, 30+ now.
Mobs die like flies.
You realize bm hasn't even made a data list yet for raid. Pretty sure it's a Leveling spec only atm.
Give it time. It's only the first week. We still figure out pets/spells/runes.
But it seems like Melee + MM is king for now.
you cant go into zulfarrak and a better weapon is a green two hander of agility as it gives 16 agi instead of 15
Zul farrak is closed apparently :E
Tnx for this clip ❤
Whats the rotation then for MM Hunters with Chimera Shot? Are you using Aimed Shot afterall?
You keep serpent sting up. Auto shot/Chimera/Auto/Multishot/auto/Chimera.
Don't think we need aimed into the rotation.
But we will see in the future.
@@Frostadamus Thanks! :)
He doesn't understand that aimed shot is part or the rotation just takes brain cells
For Mele hunter ofc the new pvp bow is bis
I find I just went melee hunter and I'm getting kited, lol. Was thinking about trying 2h wpn and replacing duel wield with trap mastery.
Sounds like a plan. Traps on separate cooldowns and out of combat sounds juicy!
wow that engineering belt is ridiculous
ridiculous seems like a good word for it.
what is your treadmill under desk you use?
Walkingpad a1
bloodlash bow works for melee hunter so that'll be bis
The SV pvp bow is king for meele hunter
Which pet cat should i tame?
Cat seems to be good overall. Get Bite & Claw max rank.
hey man, ZF is locked at level 40 apparently, not available in game for phase 2
also for melee hunter builds you will be wanting the PVP epic bow from Bloodmoon event, the 50+ strength proc can proc on melee attacks so its quite big
Sweet, gonna make some updates in the armory.
I was looking at the PVP bow from stv is chance to proc 50 str for 15 seconds.
If it procs in average like once /minute that means around 12 STR.
We need to see the proc rate.
i heard its 5%, not sure how often it would proc with raptor strike triggering it, but it would be huge@@Frostadamus
It might be. At least for short fights.
Expose weakness will have to be nerfed in the future, i can feel it
It might. Not even sure on what char to invest time. If I level a rogue for the new muti spec it might get nerfed until i reach 40.
So I might stick to Mage/Hunter combo.
KC will never be a useful rune, and has a long CD. It's only a total of +120% pet ability damage every minute. Absolute peanuts.
Also for the Melee build, the STV PvP bow will be BIS, as the +50STR triggers off melee attacks too.
Flanking strike is so much better than poop kc unless you are lazy afk at range
Forgot about that one. Great, lemme update that in the armory.
Thanks
Seems like the bot procs 50 str for 15 seconds. If the proc is higher than once/minute it might not be that great. We need to test it out.

Don't worry the Melee hunters are going to be top dps, its not copium its a reality also the epic bow from the STV event is going to be better since its effect is "on equip".
The problem might be that Rogues use Energy, Warriors use Rage, hunters might run out of mana. But I'm curious to see how this turns out.
@@Frostadamus I think once you have the gnomergan set bonus it won't be a problem :)

Flanking strike is bis leg rune for any spec melee or range even without pet
yea, flanking is good overall. Buffs Raptor and CD gets reset.
Flanking is two hits with a pet, 1 attack without but is still usable, its just another 100% instant swing ability. Lone Wolf also is 30% for all damage, not just ranged damage.
Sad they gave us such a shitty tier set bonus
I'm more sad it does not have agility :E
I hope you can get leather set with tokens too. Mail set items are grief. Its tailor made for only enha shamans to help with mana..
I hope they fix the mail set tbh.
