While I was hunting in Nagrand last night doing the second step in the Talbuk Mastery line I had to go AFK for a sec cause my daughter cried out in her sleep.
After making sure she was okay and settled back down. I got a drink and headed back to the game.
Of course in the time I was gone I got AFK killed by a druid.
Checked my combat log and got the name for the revenge lost and started running back to my corpse.
After a res and some bandages the aforementioned druid goes riding by on his cat I see the name and target him. He’s level 67 same as me so I cast a quick hunters mark and get on my wolf. Trying to catch him before he gets too far away to catch up to.
He runs for a little bit then doubles back towards me so it’s going to be a fight instead of a chase.

Kiting his ganking butt around the plains was one of the most enjoyable things I’d done in a few levels. And the second time was as good as the first.

Both kites were complicated by pulling Mobs onto myself while kitting the druid but FD helped in both cases to get the mobs off me. I even got an aimed shot in the second time to keep him from healing himself well.

This was a huge help. essentially vix knew what to do, but she’s a visual person and this helped her really make it click. We did much better in Arena, Woot! Warriors are no problems now!

but Her Aff-lock wasn’t much use last night, just not on his game. It takes two to tango so our rating is still super low. (Check out Murloc Mafia if you want to laugh at us.) But considering how many times she’s bungled up the whole thing he could mess up for like 20 more games before they’re even.

Really useful though. much appreciated.

Nice job BRK. I am teh suck vs. Feral Druids and pallys, I just don’t do enough damage to bring them down faster than they can bring me down. Though, it seems to me that you weren’t using all the tricks in your book and she wasn’t using all the tricks in hers… so I assume that it might have been a harder fight if all bets were off. Regardless, it was still really well done. I know you’re a PVE lifer, but if you could put up more PVP vids like this you’d be my hero forever. PLEASE!!!!?

How do you deal with rogues if you either don’t have BW or its on cooldown? I have a 50/50 success rate, but often find that their stuns of snares stop me from making any usable distance between myself and them. With a rogue I send pet, sting, concuss and snake trap - not necessarily in that order

I’ve always found with hunters that the moment we get snared its very difficult to get back on top of the fight.

I’m a big fan on Raptor Clipping instead of just Wing Clip. A simple macro with /cast Raptor Strike and then /cast Wing Clip and you get to Wing Clip them for a little extra damage. Don’t see too many other hunters doing it but I do think Ive seen in mentioned in the comments here at one point.

It is ok, but the fact is no druid in any BG, even a crappy druid, is just going to sit in Bearform and let you kite him without shifting forms, healing, etc. Other than that, a pretty good flick.

Scare beast is a good way to get the bear off your back and buy you time to get the farquad out of dodge. Just make sure when you scare him that he doesn’t get to his “intercept” range.

Also, a feign death in the middle of a procced snake trap works well because most people (myself included) use the tab bar to target enemies in BG’s and this will buy you some time to get distance without taking damage.

Also, make sure you ALWAYS get a serpent sting on all rogues (druids can’t restealth so not so important) right away so they have to clos to vanish, and waste a valuable cooldown.

Lastly, I couldn’t listen with sound because I am at work so you may have mentioned it, but hunters should ALWAYS have detect invisibility activated in any pvp situation.

Cheers,

Luke

Why have you done this too me? Giving all hunters the knowledge of how to send me into a raging fit of incoherent screaming at my pc monitor. Bad BRK, BAD. Go sit in the naughty corner and think about what you’ve done!

BRK, thanks for your comments on PvP play. I tried your recent suggestion of running at a Warrior the other day, using Wingclip as I went by. Boy! Was he surprised. Having been concussion shotted, I think he thought I was now dead meat. He stopped dead as I charged at him, and then was hamstrung once I hit and ran past! That bought me some time. I dropped a snake trap, which bought me enough to hit him again with concussion. Rinse and repeat. I killed him with tons of HP to spare, and was just starting on the next lumbering ton of plate armor when a Mage DoT’d me But it was a sweet moment. Thanks again, from Neni and MarfaStewart.

One trick for warriors is to stack whatever dots you have on them, and stay between 5 and 9 yards - what used to be the deadzone - that IS a deadzone for warriors, as they can’t use intercept to get back to melee range on you.

Good luck with getting a rogue or warrior to help out next time. Definitely looking forward to that. Since I don’t have a trinket yet, Warriors annoy me to no end…Hamstring, run, PIGGY charges, trap, “please god don’t resist, please god don’t resist” lol ;[
