Top 5 Advanced Hunter Tips & Tricks in Classic WoW

[@DQime]

In regards to safe taming you can use aspect of the monkey for dodge and scorpid sting in case the trap breaks. Remember to tag the mob with an autoshot or you can get griefed by others tagging the mob.

Amazing macros, and no fluffing around, straight to the point. Great video mate!

[@dansplaining9755]

Great easy to implement tips here. That last ice trap trick is easy to start using. Now I just have to set my macros. Thanks!

[@leroo7031]

@ MetaGoblin How do I have to customize the Eyes of the beast pathing macro for wow classic? After I cancel the aura, the pet follows me again!

[@tiger5gaming]

Make a macro that is just: /cancelaura Eyes of the Beast /petstay Control your pet to where you want it to go, and then spam the macro a couple times (EotB seems to automatically put the pet to follow when cancelled for some reason, but spamming petstay overrides that).

[@calvinchin8795]

yea i was having this issue as well. after reading Tigerwaw's comment. i tried making my own macro and it works fabulously. /cast [mod:alt] Eyes of the Beast /cancelaura Eyes of the Beast /petstay Just switch the modifier to whichever u prefer. But make sure the modifier does not overlap with other keybinds else it won't work. For example, u put it at 5 then modifier is shift but u have another spell which is binded to shift+5 . Just in case you don't know what the command does, It does the follow, hold modifier , press key or mouse click to cast Eyes of the Beast position your pet then press macro without modifier to cancel Eyes of the Beast press macro again without modifier for petstay Downside of this macro is that u have to manually put ur pet to follow again =(

[@Feanor1397]

@@calvinchin8795 your idea is brilliant. I set this macro on mouse wheel press and petattack and petfollow on scroll up/down. Now I have exceptional control over my pet.

[@macy4735]

Why not just keybind the pets growl? I dont understand why you would make a macro then keybind it just to growl when you can keybind it without a macro.

[@Vyomesh839]

In my case, I already have a bunch of Keybinds set up that I have used for over a decade. I'd rather make a Macro, so that when I play another character, crtl+4 for example isn't bound to some skill he doesnt have :)

[@DonderoA7]

@@Vyomesh839 You can check the box for keybinds that says, "Character Specific Keybinds" and that'll prevent that.

[@Sporrik]

You don't need the macro. Here is what I do: - Cast Eyes and make my pet jump down - shift + scroll down is a /petstay macro - scroll down is a /petfollow macro So all you need to do is cast eyes and jump, then shift + scroll to stay. Jump down yourself, then scroll to get him following you.

[@Dustinwkihn]

Let me tell you what I am doing... but this is advanced tactic and needs to be practiced. Use Dismiss Pet + jump down + click Call Pet. Have fun

[@Vyomesh839]

Here's a tip a lot of people don't know. Your Call Pet button also brings your pet back to you. You can use this to bring it back when you sent it to something you actually dont want to attac. It's not a PrO gAmEr tIP or anything, but a lot of people don't know this.

[@Gregg2G]

Wow I didn't know this! Thanks :D

[@dansplaining9755]

Someone added an interesting tip in another video of setting those two commands to your mouse wheel. Forward scroll sends the pet and backward scroll to bring him back. I found it helpful.

[@ertrilpitcher95]

With that growl macro u dont need to make a macro. To cast geowl u can just re keybind the growl on the pet bar.

[@brunomatheus2841]

What's the name off addon that u use, to stay this bar marking attacks, cast etc, the white bar in the middle of a screen

[@mplattinc]

You can just key bind your pets abilities and pet attack or follow with the pet action bar.

[@Fluffy_Owl352]

Or just dismiss and jump down.

[@metasamsara]

Wow I didn't care to pay for eyes of the beast skill but now i get how it would have avoided pulling all of deadmines when i jumped down lmao. after that run i just started dismissing before jumping lol. do you think its important sometimes to send the pet first rather than call it back again?

[@dVC407]

Hi mate I was wanting to ask you a question about pets I have furious howl rank4 from the Bloodax Worg from LBRS. I had to abandon him to tame Brokentooth as Brokentooth was up so didn't have time to stable the Worg Basically I want another worg but I cba going into LBRS again to tame another. My question is, could I just tame a Ember Worg for example in Burning Steppes and teach him furious howl now? Or are only the LBRS worgs able to learn it

[@chocrikir655]

Pet control and melee weaving... Would all be very solid tips if only it wasn't all bugged in Classic 😅 Hunter so doomed 😢 Jokes aside, good list 🙂 Side note: you can melee weave without without any speed increase when both your ranged and melee weapons are slow. Can be done in raids too to increase dps.

[@bubumic2971]

Do elite pets have more damage, resists and armor or they are exactly like any other animal from the same species (cat, bear, boar etc) ??

[@dunningkruger106]

Elites do not change any stats of a pet family except attack speed where it could be better or worse. A 1.0 attack speed pet will do half as much damage, but attack twice as often, as a 2.0 attack speed pet, so they deal the same damage. The benefit comes from interrupting spell casters quicker and more often. This is why Broken Tooth, a 37 rare spawn, is highly sought after by all hunters.

You pet dummied wrong imo. Send your pet in, let him attack so he stays in place, then sprint ahead until he despawns. Then immediately recall. That way he never dies.

See a target, stay, attack target/s in path, passive and he’ll run back and despawn faster.

[@bandit7459]

Why would you not have growl used on CD? its really easy to steal aggro from a pet and claw does not do enough to matter in the aggro department, even for BM. The only time its worth controlling is when chain pulling where its pointless to have your pet growl when the mob is sub 20%

[@uncarvedexit]

Bc kiting

[@Anaonfire]

Your voice is wonderful

[@marcoferrera6598]

"King Bangladash" ahahah

[@cruorek]

I would suggest to edit your macro to growl. In my opinion it is better to toggle autocast, then simple cast it. If you have pet with multiple focus dumps (like cat), you have to spam macro to cast it (or pay focus for your pets ... focus), because he will not have focus in time of your casting. If you toggle it to autocast, he will cast it in the first possible moment so you dont need to think about it for 5 long seconds :) Also, If you taming something, maybe would be better to set off the trap little bit away from mob, start with distracting shot, auto, conclusive, kite it to the trap and of course tame it. First of all, you get more aggro, so if someone is trying to heal you, or just mess with you or mob alone, you will not lose thread so easily and you can finish taming. Second, auto will tag mob, so no one will try to steal your mob (if you are taming rare with drop rates, there is posibility that someone will try to steal it). Anyway good video, that eye of the beast trick is very nice!

to tame pets you can also just tame a nearby trash pet use it to tank the pet you want just before the channel finishes abandon the trash pet. and you should finish the channel before it can reach you.

[@Mixwell1983]

Pretty sure in vanilla you cannot tame a pet while you have your pet out. This is probably a private server thing. I remember not being able to on an alt hunter I had. Gave an error like "you already have an active pet" or something lile that.

[@FrostyThundertrod]

mixwell1983 the already have a pet check was made at the end of the tame pet channel making it possible to abandon the pet just before channel finished to get the new pet back when I played in 2005, but it is possible that official wow classic it won’t work because the backend of the game is much newer

"Advanced"....

[@OrcForge]

wow 5 more basic hunter tips..

[@alexkryhstal3420]

Advanced #1 you will lose pet, plus mana to revive pet and overall time. Just run with aspect, when mob comes close anofe don’t be lazy to click turn off aspect - click rank 1 wind clip, than back to run aspect(additional there is one button macro aspect money/speed easy to make). Mob will have swing cd timer and you will be fine to run, fd after 3 mobs Incase your scared.......... advanced tactic #2 just click the dismiss pet skill and jump where you need, than call pet, why waste time at some stiles way, you think blizzard are dumb? They made a dismiss pet skill for it, u Damon parkour, you will be gabled by someone, while playing with that tactic.. Again there is dismiss/feed pet /call macro at 1 button slot, check internet hunt macros......... advanced tactic #3 it’s how usually speed leveled boys do... nothing special again.... advanced tactic #4 just make simple taunt pet macro and put it to the a keybinding - mouse scroll up and down. Super easy roll it over without any thinking when you need........ #5 tactics ... click attack old pet to new one whom you want to tame , than just click tame pet.. new pet will attack old one. and old one will be doomed/stunned faze. when skill will be near finish Right click and abbonded old one , gg ... those tricks are nothing speacial, hope you improve in something worth time , sor for my English

[@cruorek]

Ad #1 you still can get dazed, it is really sometimes better to let your pet pull, set him on stay, run, he will be dismissed and you can summon him (and he will heal) Ad #2 yeah but in some instances there is a lot of jumping and that is a lot of food ... but I would not use it for simple single jump too tho Ad #3 true Ad #4 yeah and roll like crazy ... isnt better to have macro on toggle autocast if you need to be sure that taunt will be cast in first possible moment? Ad #5 false ... you can not do that in classic I will give you solid 5/7

[@good3n]

These are really bad 🤦‍♂️

[@Lockles-]

Why would you need a macro just to give your pet the Growl command...? You know you can keybind the pet bar, right? Default the Growl command on your pet's bar would be CTRL+7. Seems like a waste of time to make the macro. Waste of a macro slot (if you're not using some addon to expand the slots. I, at least, prefer to keep my character-specific macros on the character-specific tab) and a wasted slot on your actionbar. Which, as a hunter, would probably be filled with Engineering items, potions, probably a few different ranged weapons with different procs and a load of other macros. I also don't see the point of your Eyes of the Beast macro. So you made an entire macro to cast EotB, tell it to stay, then stop EotB and then to follow..? Because that sequence was too complicated to just do? CTRL+3, jump, EotB the pet down, move on. Really don't think that needs a macro. Save macros for when you're trying to do different things at the same time. And I wouldn't call Pet Dummying and Trap-Taming that advanced.. Running back and forth between melee and ranged is a nice touch, I suppose. But others have already pointed out that it won't work so well in actual classic. A difference in pathing from Private servers, I suppose. I wonder about Private servers, by the way. Blizzard used to get all pissy when they found out you'd play on a private server. I recall a couple of old guildies being banned for talking about their experiences on a PVP-oriented instant 60 server. But now the private server youtubers and streamers are getting the special treatment. Free publicity is worth more than consistency, I guess..
