Hunter spend for PvP kiting

Blizzard published the Hunter kit on 30 September. Names stay provisional (beta, 30 September 2026).

TrapOpeners
FDDrops melee
MMFocus fire, beta
SurvivalMelee lean, beta

Lone Wolf is a Marksmanship talent that gives 20% more damage while you have no pet. Survival leans melee, with Strider Kick at 21 points and Lacerating Strikes at 31. Pick 1 tree. Stay in it.

Beast Mastery is 3rd for PvP: a pet is a kill target. Milestone math: calculator.

Honor ranged and Rank 10 / Rank 13

PvP Hunter wants a fast bow, stun-cap and rank pieces. Week 1 blues fill gaps only.

Week 1. Quest ranged for the 1st brackets. Early bows.

Rank weeks. Rank 10 week 7, Rank 13 week 9. Darkspear Islands plus BGs. Rank 14 offer.

From 9 December. Raid bows only if they beat rank. Raid carries.

Bombs for Hunter PvP

Honor climbing wants Engineering. Ultimate PvP on the live offer is Engineering + Enchanting, with a gatherer feeding ore. Open a card to land on Hunter on a PvP realm.

Leveling hours and the 2 speeds

Hunter PvP still quests (pets keep you near the fast 8% band), then farms honor. 1 booster is $299 in about 14 days on a PvP realm. 2 boosters in shifts is $420 in about 7 days. Route. Skip the grind.
