Hunter/Ranger builds [Season 9 - Elune]

Intro

Just ✨imagine✨
  • 💀Arathi basin fight: most of the ground covered with fire🔥, poison or ice; the entire team is sweating🤬 and trying to survive 😡
  • And there you are, high in the skies🦅, chilling on your parachute💯 and going "pew-pew"🏹 like a gigachad 😎
A lot of people have asked me for a hunter🏹 build, but i can't add it to the main guide, because hunter builds are not very popular😔
So this guide is for the hardcore hunter fans, who don't care about popularity and just want to shoot a bow 😎👌

Look at "Airborne version of the build". Just find a high hill and you're good to go :)

Or really just stand in place, shoot up into the air when you press it, and then one-shot your target :)

Careful aim / hunter vs Wild are a waste of a RE slot for Hunter, Its better to use anything else like as example . Powerful Aimed Shot / marked for Death / barrage / improved barrage (for anything aimed shot (arcane bullet for arcane gunslinger / Multi shot Related) . Your wasting big potentional in the Hunter builds by investing into Careful aim / hunter vs Wild. And i suggest to fix the RE´s as the ppl who would test the build would feel like their lacking alot of damage otherwise.

on Arcane gunslinger, Removing arcane empowerment , as your core dmg is Hunter, Getting again something that benefits Arcane bullet, Results into More dmg. And focusing on getting the Crit Cap. so Improved barrage / barrage / marked for death is a must to be in to scale your Damage. Missile barrage is not needed either as you have pretty much 100% proc chance with full stacks. so it only benefits for you if you play it risky and use arcane barrage before max stack. So suggesting to replace that one too for Powerful Aimed Shot

on Locust Ranger, add , Dont make me Angry , For wrath scaling as its a big hit dmg. and Improved Insect Swarm . As it would be a higher total DMG increase.

on Dark Ranger, Add lunar guidance over Careful aim, would bring total more dmg as Your Shadow bolt and such doesnt scale of Ranged AP . Lunar guidance would give dmg to all your Kit.

Excellent guide! I really have a feeling that Hunter has great potential, it's just not enough trying to roll it yet. This'll help a lot of players get started!

Yeah this guide is in dire need of an update. It's before TBC released for Elune and doesn't really include all of the new cards. There are so many more possibilities now.

So are Hunters unpopular because they do very little damage compared to everyone else? That kind of makes me sad...

Hunters can be very strong. For example, look at this guide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e221_Pf8OGc

I'm basically just experimenting with the Arcane Archer at this point, because it's just so much fun.

Which of these would work best with also laying traps down/kiting adds (BWL Nef for example)?

Demon and Gun is highest rated PVE build right now.

I recently tried to level a shadow hunter with beast. Wasn't able to nail down the cards and skills I needed to make it pop. Annoying...

I still need the legendary card that makes arcane gen combo points. Prestige.

Thanks for the build guide(s). Love the artwork.

Would love to see this updated for some of the new hunter builds, like the frost hunter! Good stuff, helped a ton for starting out on this server :)
