You _definitely_ need the Ammo bag -- it's +10% attack speed, on top of ammo not stacking well in vanilla.

[@lilpuddin1560]

Dwarf hunter is such a classic race/class combo. Just like pb&J

[@PureColumbianCocainum1949]

yeah, another great class/race combo is night elf druid.

[@s.b200]

Keep the ammo bag! It increases the ranged attack speed by 10%.

[@edcwseferg3603]

Dwarf Hunter is a pretty sick race/class combo. No beard though, booooo 🧔‍♀️🧔‍♀️🧔‍♀️

[@bloodmoonparanormal4995]

Watch the gun icon and when it changes from red to grey you’re in range .. I’ve maxed out a marksman hunter and succeeded in top kills in battlegrounds.. they’re fun enjoy !

[@Vesdus]

I think you're right. Night Elves are so bland for hardcore runs in Vanilla. I personally like Teldrassil questing, but Darkshore is long and awful. The path to Eastern Kingdoms and questing in Menethil doesn't upen up until around the time that you would start Ashenvale ~ Level 22-25.

[@Schlusenbach]

It was about freakin time!!! Thank you for finally playing the hunter. 🙂

[@zarasha8220]

Re: bow training in Darnassus… you can swim from the northern coast of Westfall to Menethil Harbor. Running thru Wetlands is NOT necessary! It’s a long swim, and very boring for sure, but it’s a lot safer than trying to dodge the orcs and crocs in Wetlands. If you decide to do the swim, the only thing you need to be careful of is approaching Menethil at the end. You’ll need to hug the shore most of the swim, but once you get into Baradin Bay, you want to stay on the edge of the fatigue zone until you can approach the boat docks in a straight line from the west. This way you’ll avoid all the murlocs and crocs near the harbor.

Hi Robert 2 add-on related comments for you. Firstly on your comments about getting more shots off, you can move between your auto shots to get more range to get more shots off, you can use weapon swing timer add-on if this is what you want to do. Secondly a really handy add-on is Dejunk, this auto sells your grey items and also does auto repair for you when you visit vendor (this can be turned off).

[@tacticalwarriorviking5089]

Cool video. Gotta love a dwarf hunter. I would save engineering for a gnome, but that's me. LW can make you gear early, and the skins are so plentiful.

[@dennisborregaard6355]

why you playin like a caster? u dont need to stand still - run a bit backwards after each shot. wich meens run while auto shot cooldown is active. you can even fire some of the autos while moving if i remember correctly, like the DOP etc. - that way you will almost never get struck by melee attacks against normal mobs. Regarding the melee weapon skill, you just wait til you got ya pet and let it tank while you bring the skill up to lvl cap. i like the hardcore reward meta ideas you mention. the skill points thing is actually not a bad idea. though my take on it would be that only true hardcore characters that had lvl up would earn these rewards to get spend laters. wich translates into that the character that recieved the x amount of SP bonus wount be able to re-earn the same reward to pass on to another upon death.

[@Turktien]

The ammo bag is 10% IAS, though, which is important.

[@s.b200]

Yeah, 10% extra ranged attack speed. So ammo bag is a must!

[@zumpi.]

Dwarf Hunter! Good choice! :) Good luck! Be aware of elevators though ;)

[@0tuken982]

I died in a duo because my partner fell in the undercity elevator 😂 I uploaded it on my channel

[@Cure-rp6541]

cook small bright fish with recipe from Stormwind

[@Cure-rp6541]

fish for small bright fish from the ice lake west of Iron Forge near the Skinner camp

[@ulf9435]

as hunter you need to shoot back up shoot back up ore shoot run strafe right ore left stop shoot run stopp shoot repite :)

[@kyriosv]

My favorite class and my favorite race played by my favorite WoW youtuber!Lets go !!!

[@innieplays]

You should try "Wide Quest Log" addon. It's quite nifty. :)

[@jws272]

I like this addon and have been sad that it hasn’t been made available for wrath (that I can tell)

[@deacon0647]

I played a Hunter for the first time not long ago and I understand the struggle of finding the best range to get shots off haha

[@Schlusenbach]

Race to lvl 10 and finding the right range is hard, but good training for future survival. After getting the first pet you have your personal tank fighting with you. Dying will be hard from then on... :-)

[@Omegalux]

Whenever I play hunter I point blank refuse to use guns. Bows are fast, fun and immersive.

[@mallory6358]

I didnt get to view your vids for couple of days so was shocked to see your pali had died,,,,,i really thought that one was gonna go a long way,,,,palis have so many good 'get out of jail ' cards. having said that,,,one bad pull can take out anyone. am sorry to see that journey end but looking forward to a hunter, key thing is take it slow and careful til lvl 10, once you get the pet its so much easier but those first few levels can be tough,,,good luck Robert

[@skripniker5414]

Did rly not expect to see a new hunter playthrough. But i'm really looking forward to this. P.S. you need to get a mining axe

[@kj01a]

32:56 "But you were a priest just a minute ago! What happened??" --Questie, being rude 😂

[@jws272]

Honestly with ranges and melee along with leather armor. You aren’t that gimped early in. But by the time you get your pet you start to feel it a little bit.

[@virtualecho2222]

27:17 i know it doesnt even matter that much, but seeing you switch your gloves with another glove with a worse stat makes my heart sink a little xDD

[@stompy116]

Hell yeah he's back. Hopefully you have a better run this time. Hopefully you get another chance to take on the paladin in the future.

[@michaelthomas1916]

I love the old world starting zone soundtracks. It's one of my favorite things to listen to on quiet Saturdays if I'm stuck in the office at work.

[@sebastianjonzon1658]

Totally agree, it gives such comfort in a way.

[@lorabenz]

were do i download the addon

[@RobertRambles1984]

Search, Download, and Install Curse Forge. Then search for addons. The drop down menu to the right of the search box will have the Game Version.

[@Hubertus9108]

Run back between shots bro :)

[@rsytube]

That's too much to ask from Robert, based on the way he plays.

[@maryammourabit8104]

Thx you so much robert great video

[@maryammourabit8104]

Thx you so much robert great video

[@neugassh3570]

GL...engi is the most fun prof.

[@NoobSkie_PHYS]

how do you get access to hardcore servers?

[@sontauren]

When it comes to the thought of transferring talent points, it should be once a character dies or dings 60 (So a 40 can’t transfer the points until they die or ding) and it shouldn’t be bankable, but you have to use it on the next character creation or lose them.

[@WriteWrongs]

Love this race/class choice! Super excited for this one. 😁 I noticed a few comments telling you to back up between shots, but I found the timing for that to be a little tricky because you can’t shoot while moving. On my troll hunter, I noticed that her stance/pose changes when she’s ready to shoot again. Your dwarf may do something similar. Doesn’t hurt to get some weapon XP on your axe early on though!

[@JayTheProduct]

Did the pally die?

[@snelles56]

DONT YOU DARE GO ON AN ELEVATOR!!!

[@vandeputalexandre244]

You need 6X light leather for the first engineering googles. Skinning first may help. Gold for a new character is valuable, there is vendors in the world with good green gear.

[@AnthonyDeeYT]

So hype for this!!!

[@codywhite6337]

Love another hard core run!

[@christopherfittro1900]

I love the nelf starting zone so much. Can't change my mind! 😊

[@DavidPoole_The_42]

The Dwarven starting zones are the most beautiful zones in all of Azeroth.

[@Ashley-gq9xy]

Now I miss my nelf hunter, who i lost at 16

[@cliff4418]

I have found if you start walking backwards as they are swinging. You can get just far enough to get off a serpent sting or arcane shot before they start moving close again

[@cliff4418]

Never tried to turn around and run. Just walk backwards and keep facing them. Works everytime for me.

[@Shikozu]

The Characterframes were already set up, because you named your Character Rambles. There was already a WTF File with that Name setup, so it uses those settings.

[@sontauren]

This has been bugging me on some of my characters and not figuring out why things were just setup. Thank you!

[@nerdstrong]

Survival gets a lot better in wrath with explosive shot. Marksman is one of those specs that I actually enjoy a lot more in retail. The class fantasy of playing an archer instead of a pet reliant hunter is really fun.

[@karlvalteroja4675]

Hey, not gonna tell you how to play, but I think it may be beneficial to check out some other hardcore wow series like guzu's and what not. Might be good to learn from other's mistakes not your own :D. But yeah, things like backjumping, kiting and what not. Good luck!

[@noherbzathome]

Yes - this is what I wanted. Noiceee dwarves for the win. Where the beard though haha :(
