How to Hunter Jump Shot Guide - World of Warcraft

[OcoryustheBold]

You fucking kids with your aspect of the fox and keyboard turning.

Get off of my lawn!

[adoGrey]

:) i got here from wowblues or smth like that. really nice vid...pitty though the quality,but still a really nice vid :) good job :)

[justinsane11]

Jump shot makes absolutely no sense when you can simply strafe and shoot. A hunter can shoot at anything on a 180° plane in front of him. Get better and start strafing.

[saemicool]

/facepalm you know you can use Q and E to side-run and keep your DPS at max

[adoGrey]

@saemicool yes,hunters can do that. but that is usable in pve raids,dungeons,etc..

jump shooting is used for soloing,pvp ( i want to see u side running from a rogue :D ),and as mentioned in the clip,kiting.

Unfortuntaley i'm a wrath baby..... but luckily for me, my son plays wow and made me practice kiting and jumpshot from level 5 ;)

They taught me many tricks like kiting in circles around a frost trap. Trap one (used to be 2 :( ) wyvern one, pettank one and kite one.

How NOT to pull in dungeons by truly understanding what threat means and clever use of fd.

I love my hunter :) They're great to play if you understand them properly.

[HUTCHYinHD]

oh i love Disengage.

[SuperCrustyPirate]

[JellonaOO7]

em dude i want you to try a new kind of way in which u can still run and shoting without the need of jumping 1. if u are of the ones that use Q,W,E,A,S,D to move your player simple use Q or E facing in a way in which it make u move back and u'll be able to still shot at him, or try using ur mouse if u have any doubts of what i'm trying to tell u well if u want i can make a video ^^. (pretty useful in PVP)

[l337pwnage]

If you use your hunter pet, mobs won't evade. I kited a elemental from Burning Steppes all the way past Goldshire with my 19 Huntard once. The problem is that eventually the mob will die, lol.

[xLink95]

i love doing this its so fun or like last week a priest mcd me off eye of the storm(where the flag is)and right when it went off i used disengage too just foward back up onto the ledge hehe

[foxyman777]

id say this video is outdated for maxed lvl characters, aspect of the fox and runing to the left or right seems more efficient now

[WarcraftHuntersUnion]

@foxyman777 Well, unless you want to kite something -- then jump-shot is still most effective at keeping the distance lead.

[popomartin2]

At what lvl did you solo the red dragon? :o I would like to try that lol...

[anderin193]

you dont have to mouse run to do this O.o you can use w to run, the only thing u need to do with mouse i the turning

[FlyMeProductions]

Awesome dwarfs can now 360° Noscope :D

[CWonderer24]

I will never ever use 'disengage' skill again. Thanks to this video!

[Knikon79]

Ok my question is simple. I understand that you have to move using the mouse but while you are moving with the mouse you have to hit your spacebar then turn and fit one of your number keys to fire off a shot all before you hit the ground again?

[WarcraftHuntersUnion]

@agamimnon423 Incorrect -- your speed does not change at all while jumping. It's very easy to test and verify this -- it's also common knowledge : /

This has been the standard hunter kiting technique since vanilla, and every hunter should be able to do it. You can also strafe-kite, but it's slightly less efficient since you can't move directly away from your target, thus your target will slowly close with you if you're moving at the same speed.

[AypexLol]

@agamimnon423

Well then that makes you a huntard then, and a huntard now. Jumping does not decrease movement speed.

[Apextwink]

@agamimnon423 shut the fuck up, no one care what shit do u say...

[smjones92]

What music is this?

[fuzzyscreenprods]

Very helpful went from 5 killing blows to 15-30 a game!

[ertyrano]

stupid auto typer, u guys know wat u mean though, and it's ALOT easier to read than many of the posts I have read

[ertyrano]

I much prefer the side strafing method, it's simpler and takes no effort for the keyboard steerer. using the circle kite system is also how u was able to kill warriors 5 lvls higher than me, like some1 alrdy stated, just lay ur frost trap and take then for a ride why concussing them and keeping the trap alive at all times. nowadays u can also spec survival and lock them with snake trap if ur high enough lvl, but I nvr was way back 3 months after I first started and had no tips many yrs ago :P

[FooDanger]

Too bad this is alot more difficult with focus since a casting spell is our most effecient way of getting back focus :( great vid tho

[Huntermattsss]

U jump with spacebar u can change that if u want in key bindings

[threehundredryans1]

how do you jump?

[JeSuisKon]

You don't need to turn 180, you can turn 91. And yes, you can just strafe. Retards turn 180.

[Trialtheone]

you could just use disengage instead of running trough :P

[MrDisembodiedVoice]

Thanks, this will really help me out as a fresh 80. I was worried about not keeping up and this should help.

[Mastermind12358]

cant i make macro to go 180° ?!,

[nfarnham2008]

Just wondering, I think that was power auras you had, for procs and stuff, how easy is that to set up? It is much easier to just see that around ur character for the serpent sting tick and concussive tick

[rayg3ky]

lol like that you kill bosses:))

[TheYoungKISSER]

cool never knew about the jump shot and i ply as a hunter...thx this will become usefull for me :D

[ipimees]

@TheYoungKISSER fail hunter,every good hunter knows how to jump shot by heart..

[jjjoseable]

@ipimees haha, yea, also useful at pvp right?

[hotdogman199]

wheres ur pet lawl

[horsepower94]

lol i was looking for basketball, looks like a cool game tho

[sebastianave]

Lmao :p

And what??? Have you never heard of World of Warcraft?

[timoado]

lol

[ARankedDevilHunter]

ty for explaing how to do this trick. I was trying to figure out how to make it work after i saw the video "I'm A Hunter" and it mentioned jump-shot. now, time to go work on perfecting it. :) ty Frost and Arust! :)

[JapanForSale]

In the back of my mind, I was imagining a handful of huntards who'll be amazed by the fact that you kited an 81 elite... as a hunter.

The whole reason I love the hunter and mage classes is because of the execution part of playing them. So much movement, so much thinking on the fly. It's rarely boring, and that's just scratching the surface of what those classes can do.

Every time I see a ranged class stand there and solo tank a mob, I die a little inside.

[brrandenn]

Strafe away from your target.. and shoot... you run just as fast without having to do a 180 jump every time.. :)

[WarcraftHuntersUnion]

Note that strafing doesn't give you a 180 degree firing arc -- meaning you can be running directly away from your target - you have to be at an angle. Thus your target gains on you :)

[saibabax]

thats not entirely true...

u see if u run with strafe u can run directly away from ur target aswell,

the point being, the turn u do with the mouse to shoot is alot smaller.

i am a pure pvp hunter, ranked in 2 seasons

[gage1xlsz]

@WarcraftHuntersUnion Actually, jump shooting isn't as good as strafing aka kiting. Just pop Conc shot and frost trap and circle kite and you're good.

[barrage4u]

@WarcraftHuntersUnion if it's not 180 degrees its very, very close. Besides, it's not like you're going to be landing at the same angle as your target

[liligman]

@WarcraftHuntersUnion strafing and jumpshotting are both viable, and you can still stutter shot while strafing.

[deathspear25]

@WarcraftHuntersUnion im sorry but ive been kited in low lvl bg's by fellow hunters who some do not even use concussive shot, and they run in a straight line away from me (im on my warrior T.T) and i never catch up..the only advantage i see in jump shotting is that u can see where ur going as with strafing your limited.

just when strafing make sure u dont be a moron and just instantly strafe right/left and angle urself instantly from the mob and then strafe so its a line

[senhorkorracha]

that means i could... get "intense cold" and without help? LOL

[DarkMatter1962]

The mod in the middle of the screen, surrounding the Hunter is Power Auras Classic for 3.2

[karlicbre]

Tho, there is one catch here... You miss the autoshot while moving/jumping. That decreases your DPS alot. What i mean is, of course you need to move sometimes in many encounters, but the quote "to keep your dps up" is a little bit false, since the autoshot is a big part of your DPS. Great video anyway!

[foxrings]

true but the alternative is to have zero dps while moving

[icurcuwl]

Timely pauses while running should trigger autoshots, but it'll also slow you down a little bit. This won't be much of a problem most of the time, however this guide is actually trying to show how not to slow down :p

[WarcraftHuntersUnion]

Yup, this is my usual UI.

[Firyian]

what is the name of the mod that comes up in the centre of the screen?

[Erogath1337]

Backpedaling>Jumpshot xD

[WarcraftHuntersUnion]

Backpedaling is MUCH worse than jump shot -- the whole point of jump shotting is to move at full speed.

[WarcraftHuntersUnion]

That's Omen - it's a threat meter.

[encoreman987]

whats that other dps measuerer (or w/e)

not recount but the other one?
