Since Hunters have great aim even from far away and they also have really good skill at defense, a lot of Warcraft players envy the Hunter. The various perks of being a hunter are as follows:

• You can track your enemies even from a very long distance. Especially if you are a dwarf hunter, you have a very good range of vision and can track very easily.
• Also from a very big distance away, you can shoot at other players. This is helpful in both offense and defense.
• You become an expert with long range weapons. When using crossbows or guns, or bows/arrows, hunters get amazing skills.
• You can train a pet. Since you can make your pet do things you yourself wouldn’t want to do, this is a big advantage.

(Incidentally, this site also has a WoW Hunter guide).

Hunters and their Races
The race that the Hunter is determines greatly the Hunter’s skill. Keep in mind that when building a Hunter, a race is not necessarily better than another. Actually, more important than your race is the method in which you train. But your skill as a hunter will be influenced by race somewhat. This is why it’s good to know the differences of each race with regard to the Hunter.

Hunters can belong to five different races. These are divided on the basis of whether you are in the Alliance or the Horde.

Alliance—If you are in the Alliance, then you need to belong to Dwarf or Night Elf race in order to become a hunter.

Horde—If you are in the Horde, then you need to belong to the Orc, Troll or Tauren race in order to become a hunter.

Each race has its own disadvantages and advantages. Since Dwarves can hit very strongly and can track really well, you get the best benefits if you are a Dwarf. Both defense and offense are things dwarves do well. But you have good defensive skills even if you’re a Night Elf. A hunter within this race gets the best dodge points.

The Night Elf is best for dodging in the Horde; second best are Trolls. Having Herbalism as your profession if you’re a Tauren doesn’t help very much when you’re a Hunter.

Some Hunter Tips
It is a good idea to start hunting as early on as possible when you are in this profession. Almost everywhere, animals can be found to hunt. Just start building your level as early as you can.

When you’re a Hunter, you’ll also get more quests like the Earthmother. All in all, this is a prize class to be.

Being a Hunter is great because you can have a pet to call your own. There is one slight restriction though. Only when you level up to 10 can you own a pet. From there on, you can very easily move on up to level 80.

Here’s another tip: one of the leveling guide addons on the market also comes packaged with a step-by-step class guide including the Hunter class. Check out a Zygor Guide review.
