Arenas as a Hunter

So I seem to be having trouble doing arenas as a hunter. What bothers me is I see other hunters way out damaging me and killing me much before I can kill them.



Can somebody tell me what a usually rotation looks like for a 70 MM hunter?



What pet should I use? I'm currently using Monkey.



Any tips/tricks that I should know?



Thanks!
 
chim shot than spam arcane shot , aim wen able to i guess





idk tho
 
what i do is basicaly what threesets said but aimed shot i only use when its against one target. for pet i use a cat for the crit increase and also gem all you gear agility. that should be about it

No serpent sting? Not hunters mark? And all agi gems? Why not any resil?
 
A link to your hunter would be useful so we can see gear/talent choice, etc. This could have a little bit to do with why they are outdamaging you.



Putting up Serpent Sting first and Hunter's Mark when another hunter is already unloading into you is gonna result in you losing 9/10. This is PvP, a PvE rotation is not always viable. Yes if you are approaching from range and have time, for sure put up Hunter's Mark and if you have time to get the first shot off then put up Serpent Sting. For hunter vs hunter with no healing, and unless one is really res-stacked it is going to come down to who can spam the main shots fastest as it will usually be over fairly fast.



If you are using Monkey and they are already in range, I would Chimaera Shot>Arcane Shot till out of Focus, then use Monkey Scatter whilst trying to stay ranged enough so they cannot Scatter you. Then if they do not trinket the scatter you then start a Steady Shot into another Arcane Shot as you should have enough Focus back by then. This will give you a nice headstart and they will prob be nearly dead. You can always close and Scatter Shot them and regen for an Aimed Shot or start another Steady Shot if Chimaera is not yet off cooldown.



If you get Scattered, I usually trinket into Feign death to drop target and then straight Scatter them, this can work quite well. Running full agi gems can work quite well for a hunter if you can stay ranged and get the opening shots off.



Even if you are just trading nukes a fast Feign Death can give you the upper hand as you will have the slight advantage as you pop up and open again first (if you are quick and they are slow to retarget or dont use /targetlasttarget macros). Also if you see them coming don`t forget to lay a frost trap at your feet to trap the pet for less damage/no pet abilities.



There are other ways like getting your nukes off then Conc Shot and Disengage so you can outrange their nukes then close in again when you have focus again and almost joust the max range. Although that will only really work with less skilled players.



Regards.
 
Heres my usual rotation. Hunters Mark -> Rapid Fire -> Aimed shot -> Chimera Shot (Out of focus down time i think) -> Arcane Shot -> Readiness? Who knows at this point im usually dead
 
Il lay down my pro tips for you

1) use bat, bat has 2 sec stun

2)Make macro for bat stun, never auto cast

3) scater>aimed shot combo, if you open with this it's going to crit, and it's going to crit hard

4) if they trinketed it, use bat stun, you can use your bat stun macro while casting aimed to make sure you get it off, follow up with chim shot for rape dammage

5) if done correctly they should be under 25%, so kill shit and end, you have succesfully gibbed your Opponent

Aren't u kinda fucked with ur macro if in the sec between feign death and targetlasttarget the pet attacks/hits u ? ( aka the pet gets targeted with ur targetlasttarget macro)



Not if your target was the hunter and not the pet.

well i tested it right now with a macro and basicly everytime the hunterpet attacked me+the hunter used feign death i ended up targeting the hunterpet with the macro.



target hunter->casting vampiric touch macro->hunter uses feign death while pet attacks me-> fucked (pet gets targeted with macro)
