Forgot to mention what pets to use -- You have 2 choices, a pet that gives you movement speed and has mortal strike (reduces enemy's healing), or a pet that gives you health and has mortal strike. For the speed pet, the best choice is an undead raptor. You should just google how to tame an undead raptor in wow and follow those steps. The other option is to use any endurance pet with mortal strike, these include riverbeasts, hydras, basilisks. So either undead raptor or riverbeast is what I use. You will decide which one you want to use based on what you're fighting. If you need movement speed and master's call to get out of roots, run the speed pet (good against things with alot of roots like frost mage, ele shamans, or warriors where you need to kite). If you are against something like a subrogue and you need extra hp to not get 1 shot, run the tankier riverbeast.
Finally, a BM hunter that i can follow! Thank you so much for a great content! New sub :) Can you please upload some of your solo shuffle games and maybe do a voice over so we know exactly what you were doing/thinking on how to set up kills? Would love to see how you juggle your defensives/offensives and CC all at the same time. I've been trapping first right from stealth because right when i open and get trained, its so hard to get a trap off. Would love an opener guide as well showing it in real game, i know every situation is different but a standard opener seeing it in action would be nice! Thanks again bro! Appreciate your time!
I don’t even play hunter and wasn’t planning to, but I’m pretty new to wow and definitely pvp, and this was eye opening for me! Feel like I’m just starting to understand more, but as you said every guide just focuses on talents and gear and when they talk about the actual playing they make it seem like you need to understand every facet, it was nice to hear a basic game plan that you could follow without needing to know everyone’s abilities and cooldowns (although it would make it a lot more effective and I’m sure you do that in your games 🤣)
I’ve never had any interest in playing Hunter. I’m a healer main. But this guide was so well done I’m rolling a hunter right now because I wanna try this out! Love the format, the pacing, your chill vibe, but especially that you detail how to actually play the game! Insanely great guide. (Now do a healer one 🙏)
@@Sphericsnow can you make a video on your thoughts on how the recent nerf affects BM hunters? It says its a 15% nerf to black arrow but it feels more than that
Hey man, nice guide, decided to pick up bm hunter for the first time in 15 plus years of wow this season and this is really helpful, i wanted to ask if this guide would also be viable for rbgs/bg blitz, and if it's not do you have one in the making by any chance?
Bossman! great video. Doing pretty much what you are saying, but I live in South Africa and play at 170ms, so 2200 is my ceiling... Now all you got to do is the same guide for MM and Survival. You know you have to. 😝
Thanks for the video. I am just coming back to my hunter. My Paladin is lackluster at the moment and I thought a return was in order. This last patch seemed to bump up Dark Ranger a bit. Would this still be a god fit for mostly solo Delves or is Pack Leader a better fit?
Love the video bro! Some great tips that has helped a new Hunter player like myself. You mentioned you’d go over “kiting” more but I didn’t hear a ton of info on it. Mind sharing some good suggestions for peeling melee off you?
Best tip I can give is to keep concussive shot up, stay at maximum range and kite in a direction that actually makes sense, as well as using allllll the tools in your kit like tar trap, scatter, knockback trap, binding shot etc etc.
Apologies if I missed it in the video, but what is your philosophy regarding when to use tranq shot? Is it something you prioritize on cooldown to keep targets cleaned or do you only shoot it when a major buff is applied in a hope to remove it? Major buffs being something like paladin freedom and alter time
I risk it for the biscuit and throw long range traps all the time. Wait for the healer to start a cast and chuck away. If it works then it’s a big momentum swing
Just curious, why do you use river beast and undead raptor? Is that the best in your opinion? I was using two undead raptors, but am going to try out your mix. Would love your insight, thank you.
Great video. However, have you noticed that recently undead pets are not immune to fear? Or is it just me lol. I have tried with Bone Raptor and the other mummified Raptor and both get feared.
I know, who am I to ask a Rank 1 if there is a better way. But, do you think linking barb shot and dire beast to the same click would be efficient? So in my head you are hitting barb shot to keep stacks up and I noticed that you have dire beast off CD quite a bit. Would it hurt to have it /cast barb shot and /cast dire beast. I know sometimes, it may not line up but, most times dire beast is just and added bonus to damage and doesnt have much reason to be cast solo. What do you think and how wrong am I?
@@bradoncampbell2626 that’s a great idea and a good question but the problem is both barbed shot and dire beast are on the global cooldown. So if you were to macro them to the same button, it wouldnt work. You would only be able to do one of them at a time and so it will be better to keep them separate so you can use your best judgement to decide when to use each one.
I downloaded the weakaura, but it doesn't appear on my screen. I can see it when I open the weakaura options box and hit view, but not when I close the options panel.
I copied your build (mine was almost similar), but according to my Details addon, Black Arrow deals much more dmg on me than kill command. I tried to follow your rotation and still the dmg details looks different. Like Black arrow 21% of the overall dmg, and my main pet is 13%. I know on dummies it can be different because black arrow proc more often, but it had a similar result on a duel too. Why is that? (I don't complain about it, I'm just corious.)
Mine isn't showing on character pane either but I'm not sure whether or not it's actually working or not. Another guy said it doesnt show there but it's always been that way
@@snookajam so you need to convert pvp pieces into tier. You can do it for 3 of the pieces at the catalyst (so once you have the conquest gloves you can go turn them into tier pvp gloves at the catalyst) also you csn go to the spider people tier vendors and make sure you get the pvp one. There are 2 vendors - one sells pvp tier and one sells pve, make surr you get the pvp. You get a free token to buy the piece from them once u hit 1600 rating in pvp
hmmm well I'd recommend getting the weakaura first to help you see it. The main thing is once you use one barbed shot, you cant use the next one until the last one you used it about to run out. If you always do that you will maintain 3 stacks. You also get 1 free barbed shot to use every time you cast bestial wrath by following my talents.
@@woosah95 you definitely use it against people who can stealth, but imo it’s not usually pressing over another global so I wont use it unless I’m super far from them at the very start of game and some very niche situations
Thank you for the guide! Though I completely disagree with “always take diamond ice”. Diamond trap is awful due to 3 reasons: 1) it’s shorter; 2) it cannot be surely followed with another cc (like priest’s fear); 3) it takes a slot in PvP talents
Yo @Sphericsnow please do the exact same guide for surv. Never played bm almost went to 2.1cr first week Would glad to try out surv now Thanks anyway very good job mate

I would like to get higher but am currently being held back by people who don't take the solo shuffle seriously and lose which makes me lose too
when i first started i thought you could get benefit from 2 pets but it just gives double whatever the main pet is XD
Thx for Guide was very good can U pls make a Video about Ur keybind setting ? Makros and maybe Show some Games that u Play

Very well explained, super guide, thanks!

Just wrote a pinned comment to answer that! Good question :)

I see you tried a year ago now coming back. Should def go for it dude

Just linked it in the description!
Nice video bud
Thanks Jazzylad :-)

@@Sphericsnow fair enough. That is why I figured it might be dumb to ask. Rank 1 folks dont tend to overlook efficiency.
Where are your VOD`S of your soloshuffle games? :D
Haha i will try to upload some soon! For now please check out my stream where I will show them.

you draw as well as I do in the screenshot tool lol
WHATS YOUR WEAK AURA IMPORT STRING CODE?
My dps on teat dummys is 1.5 mill so rotation is good enough only some people are holding me low under 1600 rating
Some people say 2nd pet doesn't matter, but why do I see a lot using that hippo?
top !
Is freedom not better then Fortitude of the Bear?
I wrote a bit about that on my pinned comment! It depends on the matchup.
I have same crit % with Thrill of the hunt and without, if I look at charr info. Is it only bugged tooltip or it just dont work at all ?
Mine isn't showing on character pane either but I'm not sure whether or not it's actually working or not. Another guy said it doesnt show there but it's always been that way
Is BM hunter any good?
yes its very very good rn. It's getting nerfed on Tuesday but it will still be A or S tier imo
So 4 peice is a must?
I've never played BM i have an 80 with 632 pvp gear im going to do ehat you say and see how i do
hahaha sounds awesome. Please report back

Do racials matter much? Like can i get away playing a vulpera?
i’m 2300 as a goblin, i think people put way too much emphasis on race. play what you like, it only really matters at the top of the top imo
Does nobody use hunters mark? If not, why? I'm new to hunter
@@woosah95 you definitely use it against people who can stealth, but imo it’s not usually pressing over another global so I wont use it unless I’m super far from them at the very start of game and some very niche situations
Kill shot. Kill command. Black arrow. Bug out phantom pain. Insta glad
Hi can anyone tell how to enchant twice on single ring?
Thank you for the guide! Though I completely disagree with “always take diamond ice”. Diamond trap is awful due to 3 reasons:

whats the best Pet for BM ?

Sadly bm are getting hard nerfed again
haha unfortunately but its still going to be good. It's not a big nerf and the other classes that were really strong got nerfed as well.
