Hunter PVE Guide
Typical Strategy vs. Green/Yellow mob
Start at max ranged distance and send your pet, while the pet is running towards the mob use Hunter’s Mark. Make sure that auto-growl is turned on and let the pet get 1 hit and 1 growl off. Now use Serpent Sting and start auto shotting. From here the strategy used depends on your build and gear, because I am in excellent gear I can’t go straight into max DPS (damage per second) or I will rip aggro right off my pet. If you are Survival or Beast Mastery (BM), let your pet get 1 or 2 more hits in and a growl (not quite necessary if your beast mastery) and proceed with arcane shot and then multi shot if the area is clear of un-aggrod mobs. If you have steady shot (lvl 64 ability), proceed with concussive shot and then steady shot. The fact that you dazed the target adds 175 extra damage to your steady shot, well worth it. Do a quick check of your pet’s health, considering the fight is still fairly early in, its health should still be above 80% or so. Against most green/yellow mobs don’t worry about using mend pet until 25-30% health. From here it depends on build, if you are marks this is a good time to setup for aimed shot. All builds proceed back through this rotation that I just discussing, obviously skipping Aimed Shot if you do not have it. It is only necessary to apply serpent once every 2 rounds, because the effect will still be in place after one cycle. Now I have a video to post of me using this strategy (and most of my cooldowns) against a named quest boss. At the beginning of the video you see me coming out of Feign Death (FD), this is because the boss was in the middle of some lava so I had to pull it out with an arcane shot rank 1. Once it reached the land I used FD, and sent my pet to get aggro. If you have any questions about my strategies or any other questions feel free to leave comments. I’ll answer any questions asked in a blog on Friday of each week. Enjoy the video and Happy Hunting!
P.S. The song is Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold and I recorded using Fraps.

If what I ultimately have to offer is half as much as what you now have to offer, I’ll be able to consider it a job well done.
