Comments on: How to Hunter Jump Shot Guide http://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com/2009/10/jump-shot-guide/ A gathering place for WoW hunters who have paid their dues Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:04:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tokersrushttp://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com/2009/10/jump-shot-guide/#comment-45384 Tokersrus Sun, 30 Oct 2011 14:21:36 +0000 http://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com/?p=2846#comment-45384 I like to use auto-run combined with strafing right or left. You put your left or right shoulder towards the target, auto-run, and strafe away. As long as the target is in your 180 degree field of view you will auto shoot and still be able to pop instant cast shots. takes a little practice but I love it and have used it for years. The animations look like you are shooting over your shoulder lol. I like to use auto-run combined with strafing right or left.

Turn with mouse while pressing right button! Practice first without running: jump up, turn in the air 180 with mouse and turn back to the direction where you started (still in the air) until you fall down. Play with mouse sensitivity to be able to turn easly (higher sensitivity = faster turn). Good luck:) Its not that hard, you just need to understand how it works.

I can probably top all the horror stories about controlling your Hunter's actions. I've been playing my Hunter since a couple months after BC was released. I use my mouse exclusively for movement, targeting, and choosing my shots, except for the occasional time that I need to use a special ability during a fight. Then I'll stick that ability in the number one slot and keep my finger hovered over the # 1 key. I've tried using the keyboard for my shots. In the heat of battle, my fingers forget which key is which, and I wind up hitting them all, hoping one of them will get me out of hot water. Yeah, sounds pretty clumsy, doesn't it? On a good note, I still managed 10k dps in Stonecore last night, in fact me and the healer finished off the last boss with me kiting her around the cavern, turning and firing in my clumsy way, and getting heals. I didn't realize til we were done that everybody else wiped. I'll close with this, keep doing what yer doing, don't pay any attention to the poster above me. I guess he's never learned how to do something with finesse. I admire you people who can make yer Hunter look like a ballerina dancing, while killing everything around you.

Actually that's not fair; I think 'redundant' may be a better word. Maybe things have changed since cata but the hunter fire arc is so wide you can just strafe almost directly away from your target without any break in line of sight. I can see how this may have been useful back in the day before instant shots were the only way to fire while moving but nowadays we can't afford to break sight with our targets. A massive proportion of our damage (and focus regen.) comes from autoshot and Steady Shot. Unless your timing is ABSOLUTELY flawless (which, frankly, is not even remotely feasible for even the best player in the least pressured scenario) you're going to stack delays between autoshots and interrupt your own Steady Shots as you turn away. Maybe you were once king of the jumpshot and pride yourself on being 'oldschool' but please let's just leave the past where it belongs and keep pace with change. This is obsolete.

There are plenty of mobs there that you can practice a variety of techniques on - solo skeletons for simple kiting though u need to stay alert not to agro other mobs. Their blind ability helps you keep focus on staying at range. - dragon/rider pairs. The dragon is not ccable but the rider is, so try scatter trapping the rider to keep him occupied while you deal with the dragon, essential hunter skill for PVP - there are a number of mob groups, some with 5 high hp chars (132k on HC). These are good for practicing kiting multi mobs around an ice trap which is something we have to do in some fights e.g. Magmaw parasites. In addition to some useful practice you will make a bit of money out of the drops and may even luck out and get a battered hilt!

Do you need to use 1,2,3,4,5, etc. to fire instant shots while running jumping, turning around, turning around again, then landing. Enlighten me, Frost. I’m confused.

I have a mac and a magic mouse... there are no buttons. I have a G19 keyboard that I've always used to do my running with and shoot with the mouse... so is it possible to do this with a magic mouse? I'm guessing not, but been trying and so far no luck. Thanks So…. I have a mac and a magic mouse… there are no buttons.
