[...] The first thing you will encounter as a lowbie hunter is the pain of having no pet for 10 levels. You can spend 10 levels meleeing everything to death and perhaps mix in a few corpse runs, but if you watch where you’re going you can effectively kite and still be a ranged hunter. In my opinion, the second option is the most effective though of course it’s not exactly important at that level. Either way, shoot the mob, when it gets close to you run a bit, jump around shoot a little more, keep running, shoot a bit more and so on. You may like to check out Pike’s jump shot video. [...]

Pike, this is one of the things that I prided my self on while I was leveling my hunter (I’ve stopped, due to wanting to level a hunter on a different realm instead, where my other friends are). It’s pretty useful, and I think has saved my arse quite a few times in a match of WSG. Lene, thanks for pointing out the fact that the game doesn’t update your position when you jump (it’s news to me).

Also, you do not sound dorky; if anything, you sound rather hot. (oh god now i’m gonna be thought as a perv i bet)

*Sigh* Another fine lesson taught, and one that, along with chain trapping seems to be lost on the newer hunter generation. Fine work with the vid Pike, keep ‘em coming

jump-shotting on heigan is actually counterproductive because the game doesnt update your position while you are in the air, and so if you would just barely make it out without getting hit, jumping will kill you
(also , since you can always walk 90 degrees to heigan, you can just use all your intants while running normally)

I have to agree with Rilgon there. It is fun steady shotting each splash and keeping dps up through the phase. But of course, only when you are sure you will make it and blabla – cockiness, but not sillyness.

No, cockiness on Heigan is pumping a Steady Shot out on every splash and using instants in the interim.

Every hunter should learn the jump shot. Sure, it’s not that essential most of the time now, but it’s crucial in most PVP fights, and just generally handy the rest of the time. Besides, nothing says mastery (or perhaps…cockiness) as continuing DPS on Heigan during the Safety Dance via jump shots.

It’s been relevant since level 60 when you had to learn how to jump-shoot-kite for your damn Rhok’delar! *shakes cane which is actually Lok’delar*

DAMN KIDS THESE DAYS! *wheeze*
