Guide last updated: April 2008 for patch 2.4
Review last updated: 2008-04-10
Killer Guides’ Hunter Guide is a 177 page ebook teaching you how to master the hunter in WoW.
I have a level 70 hunter myself and I must say this new version of the guide was really good. It is up-to-date with the current 2.4 patch, and I know of no incoming hunter changes, so I think this guide will stay updated for some time. I found myself agreeing with most tips, which is important because the last thing you want when learning a new class is backwards advice that sets you on the wrong path.
Most everything you’d expect is explained in the guide, from choosing a race, to choosing equipment, talents and learning how to play solo, groups and PvP, as well as the basics on pets and hunter quests.
There’s a separate leveling guide for horde and alliance from 1-70, which is a good reference if you find yourself getting lost. Feel free to deviate from the path, though.
Something I found quite useful was the equipment guide which lists many items for levels 20-70, some of which are crafted, quest rewards, random world drops and instance drops. Something for everyone, in other words. It’s always fun to go hunting for new equipment.
As for the talents, the heart of a class, they are each described individually and rated for their usefulness in solo, groups, raids and PvP. One of the graphs showing the usefulness was bugged in this chapter, but you understand the meaning quite well from the comments. There are also many good talent builds to choose from, like a leveling build and PvP build and such.
The addons section is fine, the macros section is okay. The chapter on making gold was surprisingly good and focuses on gathering professions and grinding while leveling up. You’ll find many profitable spots in there.
So what could have been better? Well, even though the guide is 177 pages, there is always more to add. Enchants for example. Professions. But I do think this is a very good guide, especially after the 2.4 update, it’s just my job to point out these things.
I rate this a strong 8/10. If you’re leveling your hunter you’ll learn a great deal from this guide.
