Level 80 PvP/Arena Build For Troll Hunter. :: Free Realms

There is nothing special abot your build. It is a hodge-podge of **** thrown together. You have a few CC abilities there but what are you expecting to do with them? Trapping in arena is sketchy, more of an annoyance than anythign else. You have scatter shot and Wyvern sting.... ok there is MAYBE 5 secs of CC. Maybe. And you will end up having a little bit more health through talents. So now a heavy hitting class needs to hit you 1 more time to kill you. However you have aboslutely zero burst ability, no BW, no Chimera shot, no Explosive shot. You are essentially an annoying target to the enemy team, you really can't do much but peck at em. In 5s that MAY be ok but in 2s and 3s you are a liability.

If you want better answers bug Yuppley, he is the resident arena hunter guru.

Care to elaborate?

Basically, you have no large burst damage abilities. You have a lot of kiting talents taken (you go into the MM tree just for Concussive Barrage or whatever) and you don't have damage talents taken (like Explosive Shot). It'd probably do alright in BGs and 1v1 PvP if you're good, but it's not going to do well at all for arena PvP, because you're not going to be able to keep up enough pressure for the spec to be worthwhile.

The strengths of the hunter trees in PvP are as follows:

BM: choice burst through the combo of TBW/Bloodlust.
MM: pressure from both damage and mana drain.
SV: damage pressure and burst pressure, forcing healers to almost tunnel-vision to keep their partner (or themselves) up.

If you ignore the purpose of the tree, it's like playing a Sub rogue without Shadowstep, or a disc priest without Pain Suppression. You can do it, you'll just fail.

No, you were as well.

I just tend to disagree with Theo a lot more, so I thought it was funny. Smiley: tongue

Really that was the most painful build to look at. (Please, nobody try to top it? <.<)

Gonna kinda hijack this so i dont need to make another topic, but i'm looking to get some possible help with my build/rotation for BGs and WTG only. I'd like to stay MM for the most part i'm liking the nice burst damage and silence effect. I'm still pretty new to pvp so i really dont get to use hunter mark much (i know i gotta work on this). This is what i've come up with so far http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#cZbeVsRhdGIsgu0oec00o:kIpM0z Where would be a good place to put the last 4 points.

Currently i use a pve spec and do pretty well but i'd like to refine it a bit to make it more pvp wise. As far as rotation i open with serpent sting followed by chimera/silencing shot/pyro rocket/and usally a darkmoon death proc. It makes for some really nice burst dmg and usally most targets are near death from it. So ya any advice would be helpful. Also is there a hit cap for pvp? and is it lower then pve?

I believe it's 5% or so, as opposed to the 8% hit cap vs bosses.

Also, you might find this forum useful. Smiley: smile
