Now I’m playing a BM hunter together with my son. It is a rather big difference from MM. I was trying to catch up to my sons hunter by doing a few extra quests alone.

Hunting Mottled Screechers in the Wetlands, I was attacked by five reptors at the same time. Three lvl 25 and two lvl 24. I was lvl 26.

You know what? It wasn’t a problem at all! My MM hunter would most likely have been squashed, but as a BM, all I had to do, was to let the pet handle most of it, while I healed and kept my aggro lower than the pet. And a good thing that I tamed a bear yesterday – swipe is nice!

OK, using a few heirlooms, I’m admittedly better geared then my MM was, but still .. http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Darkspear&n=Normur

I wish I had something like this the first time I leveled my hunter… I had to learn it the hard way… by dying 19 times in Durotar and then 50+ times in Barrens, near those pigmen!

Argh!

I suggest using the Multi-shot glyph if you are going to instance a lot with the random dungeon, just one second off really helps in AoE damage that hunters lack at these levels.

Also, I’ve been using a bear since level 10, and I absolutely love it. Swipe with its 5sec cooldown, and high damage (13-17 base at my level, the only other high instant damage I found was boars 17-21 base), AND it being an AoE, it’s really powerful. Plus, since he’s tenacity, he can hold his own pretty easily. In an RFK, he went off and soloed a level 24 elite when he as level 25, and when I noticed him, he was low health but the elite died. Pretty good

I’m probably going to pick up a Chimaera at level 60 for my exotic, and at 70 switch to a jormungar looking worm, because they are my favorite pets right now in BM PvP, along with Chimaeras. Then all I gotta do is pick up a wolf, and I’ll have a free spot, probably dedicated to a spider or crab for a non-bm pvp spec if I try one.

P.S. I’d love to see some 20-40 etc installments soon to go along with my leveling right now.

Welcome back! My period as SV for PvP was fairly short lived. I was running a double DPS combo for arena, and BM worked much better for it. I still queue a BG or WG every now and again as MM, but BM is still my favorite Hunter spec for PvP.

The pet bugs are so annoying. Last night I started doing a few low level BGs on my Orc Hunter and prowl was autocasting on my cat every time I entered a new BG. So essentially what I have to do now is remember to move my pet skills in and out of the pet bar when I PvP.

My pet’s been doing well maintaining aggro, but I think I’m going to try a bear soon. I want to see how well they do in the lower levels keeping the attention of multiple mobs. If I get overwhelmed by respawns as I did last night farming leather off the Worgens in Ashenvale, it can take too long for my cat to pick them all up. I want to give swipe a go and see how that works out for multiple mobs.
