HOW TO GET GLAD AS BM HUNTER -- TWW R1 Hunter PVP Guide

[@Sphericsnow]

Forgot to mention what pets to use -- You have 2 choices, a pet that gives you movement speed and has mortal strike (reduces enemy's healing), or a pet that gives you health and has mortal strike. For the speed pet, the best choice is an undead raptor. You should just google how to tame an undead raptor in wow and follow those steps. The other option is to use any endurance pet with mortal strike, these include riverbeasts, hydras, basilisks. So either undead raptor or riverbeast is what I use. You will decide which one you want to use based on what you're fighting. If you need movement speed and master's call to get out of roots, run the speed pet (good against things with alot of roots like frost mage, ele shamans, or warriors where you need to kite). If you are against something like a subrogue and you need extra hp to not get 1 shot, run the tankier riverbeast.

I would like to get higher but am currently being held back by people who don't take the solo shuffle seriously and lose which makes me lose too

[@andrewsilk2537]

when i first started i thought you could get benefit from 2 pets but it just gives double whatever the main pet is XD

[@ChikoChiik]

Thx for Guide was very good can U pls make a Video about Ur keybind setting ? Makros and maybe Show some Games that u Play

[@kel8117]

Finally, a BM hunter that i can follow! Thank you so much for a great content! New sub :) Can you please upload some of your solo shuffle games and maybe do a voice over so we know exactly what you were doing/thinking on how to set up kills? Would love to see how you juggle your defensives/offensives and CC all at the same time. I've been trapping first right from stealth because right when i open and get trained, its so hard to get a trap off. Would love an opener guide as well showing it in real game, i know every situation is different but a standard opener seeing it in action would be nice! Thanks again bro! Appreciate your time!

[@darktanguy9240]

I don’t even play hunter and wasn’t planning to, but I’m pretty new to wow and definitely pvp, and this was eye opening for me! Feel like I’m just starting to understand more, but as you said every guide just focuses on talents and gear and when they talk about the actual playing they make it seem like you need to understand every facet, it was nice to hear a basic game plan that you could follow without needing to know everyone’s abilities and cooldowns (although it would make it a lot more effective and I’m sure you do that in your games 🤣)

[@arnymon9340]

Thanks! As a rogue player i do appreciate this for my alt hunt that im leveling atm.

[@ShhhPrivate-i2r]

I’ve never had any interest in playing Hunter. I’m a healer main. But this guide was so well done I’m rolling a hunter right now because I wanna try this out! Love the format, the pacing, your chill vibe, but especially that you detail how to actually play the game! Insanely great guide. (Now do a healer one 🙏)

[@Sphericsnow]

@@ShhhPrivate-i2r YOOO thank you so much :) i really appreciate it and i HIGHLY recommend hunter its definitely the most fun class in the game

[@Bonzi94]

best guide on any class of any spec

[@Sphericsnow]

Thank you :)

[@borislavrumenov2085]

@@Sphericsnow can you make a video on your thoughts on how the recent nerf affects BM hunters? It says its a 15% nerf to black arrow but it feels more than that

Amazing guide bro, getting into pvp first time and this is perfect, ty man ❤

[@Sphericsnow]

Thanks dude!

[@teputube]

Very well explained, super guide, thanks!

[@dharmse01]

Bossman! great video. Doing pretty much what you are saying, but I live in South Africa and play at 170ms, so 2200 is my ceiling... Now all you got to do is the same guide for MM and Survival. You know you have to. 😝

[@Sphericsnow]

@@dharmse01 ahaha good job dude 2200 is great! And will do I hope all is well in South Africa

Thanks for the vid dude, helped a lot in my run for the 2.2k

[@Sphericsnow]

Congrats bro!

[@Jziegenhirt]

Great vid. Adding your Weak Auras would help a ton. Watcha running for Blitz? As a new hunter, would also like to understand pets as well. Thanks

[@magdabrownis265]

I risk it for the biscuit and throw long range traps all the time. Wait for the healer to start a cast and chuck away. If it works then it’s a big momentum swing

[@julioleppelemus]

Great guide!!..Any race of preference for solo arena?

[@DavidAnderson-og5vy]

great video! random guy you queued with lol

[@Sphericsnow]

Hahaha thank you and thanks for the games brother!

[@Prhunnid]

Make more videos bro this helped a lot but I would like to see you cover mm and survival as well please and thank u!

[@spudman575]

Love the video bro! Some great tips that has helped a new Hunter player like myself. You mentioned you’d go over “kiting” more but I didn’t hear a ton of info on it. Mind sharing some good suggestions for peeling melee off you?

[@Sphericsnow]

Best tip I can give is to keep concussive shot up, stay at maximum range and kite in a direction that actually makes sense, as well as using allllll the tools in your kit like tar trap, scatter, knockback trap, binding shot etc etc.

[@spudman575]

@@Sphericsnowthanks boss!

[@kangkeru1320]

Apologies if I missed it in the video, but what is your philosophy regarding when to use tranq shot? Is it something you prioritize on cooldown to keep targets cleaned or do you only shoot it when a major buff is applied in a hope to remove it? Major buffs being something like paladin freedom and alter time

[@grxavier]

Can you please link the WA as well? great guide!

[@Sphericsnow]

Yes just did in the description!

[@GDbord]

Hey man, nice guide, decided to pick up bm hunter for the first time in 15 plus years of wow this season and this is really helpful, i wanted to ask if this guide would also be viable for rbgs/bg blitz, and if it's not do you have one in the making by any chance?

[@Iqs-p]

thank you for this!

[@PULAG]

I see you tried a year ago now coming back. Should def go for it dude

[@terry6541]

Nice vid! Could you share weakaura at 11:12 shows stacks and remaining time? Thank you!

[@RobertHole]

Just curious, why do you use river beast and undead raptor? Is that the best in your opinion? I was using two undead raptors, but am going to try out your mix. Would love your insight, thank you.

[@Daanvinchie]

Great video! I've seen alot of videos as to what pet i should use. I currently use undead raptor and rodent. Is a river beast safer?

[@Sphericsnow]

Just wrote a pinned comment to answer that! Good question :)

[@Daanvinchie]

@@Sphericsnow Great, very helpful! subbed

[@jasondavison4428]

Thanks for the video. I am just coming back to my hunter. My Paladin is lackluster at the moment and I thought a return was in order. This last patch seemed to bump up Dark Ranger a bit. Would this still be a god fit for mostly solo Delves or is Pack Leader a better fit?

[@Sphericsnow]

for pvp dark ranger is better all the time for bm. TBH i don't PVE so I'm not sure what would be better for delves

[@starjyy]

hey mate, great video! can you show us stats priority?

Great video. However, have you noticed that recently undead pets are not immune to fear? Or is it just me lol. I have tried with Bone Raptor and the other mummified Raptor and both get feared.

[@ravilongia]

[@AmoryWar33]

I downloaded the weakaura, but it doesn't appear on my screen. I can see it when I open the weakaura options box and hit view, but not when I close the options panel.

[@patriksteingart1876]

top !

[@fearoshima666]

My dps on teat dummys is 1.5 mill so rotation is good enough only some people are holding me low under 1600 rating

[@szakallembercoc5060]

I copied your build (mine was almost similar), but according to my Details addon, Black Arrow deals much more dmg on me than kill command. I tried to follow your rotation and still the dmg details looks different. Like Black arrow 21% of the overall dmg, and my main pet is 13%. I know on dummies it can be different because black arrow proc more often, but it had a similar result on a duel too. Why is that? (I don't complain about it, I'm just corious.)

[@Chuckline_85]

Where are your VOD`S of your soloshuffle games? :D

[@Sphericsnow]

Haha i will try to upload some soon! For now please check out my stream where I will show them.

[@bradoncampbell2626]

I know, who am I to ask a Rank 1 if there is a better way. But, do you think linking barb shot and dire beast to the same click would be efficient? So in my head you are hitting barb shot to keep stacks up and I noticed that you have dire beast off CD quite a bit. Would it hurt to have it /cast barb shot and /cast dire beast. I know sometimes, it may not line up but, most times dire beast is just and added bonus to damage and doesnt have much reason to be cast solo. What do you think and how wrong am I?

[@Sphericsnow]

@@bradoncampbell2626 that’s a great idea and a good question but the problem is both barbed shot and dire beast are on the global cooldown. So if you were to macro them to the same button, it wouldnt work. You would only be able to do one of them at a time and so it will be better to keep them separate so you can use your best judgement to decide when to use each one.

[@bradoncampbell2626]

@@Sphericsnow fair enough. That is why I figured it might be dumb to ask. Rank 1 folks dont tend to overlook efficiency.

you draw as well as I do in the screenshot tool lol

[@DanielSmith-r3t]

how do we maintain 3 stacks? i jst never get reset procs :(

[@Sphericsnow]

hmmm well I'd recommend getting the weakaura first to help you see it. The main thing is once you use one barbed shot, you cant use the next one until the last one you used it about to run out. If you always do that you will maintain 3 stacks. You also get 1 free barbed shot to use every time you cast bestial wrath by following my talents.

[@DanielSmith-r3t]

@@Sphericsnow thanks for the reply ill keep trying :)

[@woosah95]

Does nobody use hunters mark? If not, why? I'm new to hunter

[@Sphericsnow]

@@woosah95 you definitely use it against people who can stealth, but imo it’s not usually pressing over another global so I wont use it unless I’m super far from them at the very start of game and some very niche situations

[@snookajam]

How do I get the pvp version of the tier set?

[@Sphericsnow]

@@snookajam so you need to convert pvp pieces into tier. You can do it for 3 of the pieces at the catalyst (so once you have the conquest gloves you can go turn them into tier pvp gloves at the catalyst) also you csn go to the spider people tier vendors and make sure you get the pvp one. There are 2 vendors - one sells pvp tier and one sells pve, make surr you get the pvp. You get a free token to buy the piece from them once u hit 1600 rating in pvp

[@snookajam]

@Sphericsnow ah ok thank you for the response. Sucks that I have to pick between raid stuff and pvp stuff to catalyze

[@SilverLight3366]

Thank you for the guide! Though I completely disagree with “always take diamond ice”. Diamond trap is awful due to 3 reasons: 1) it’s shorter; 2) it cannot be surely followed with another cc (like priest’s fear); 3) it takes a slot in PvP talents

whats the best Pet for BM ?
