The Hunter class is made for hunting. That’s why they’re probably the best farmers in the World of Warcraft. Even in greens, their DPS is probably higher than any other class in the game. Hunters can give you a lot more gold per minute than any other class in game. Here are the top four reasons why I think hunters have the advantage farming for gold.
Hunters have pets.
Not a lot of classes in the World of Warcraft have pets. Hunters can have combatant companions to help in their farming. The Hunter can sit back while he sends his pet in towards the mobs. The pet can tank the mobs while the Hunter can attack at a safe distance. You’ll experience less time dying. Plus pets can be healed at a safe distance as well. If a Hunter knows what his doing, his pet would not die at all. Not only will this save you lots of downtime but you’ll save gold from repair bills as well.
Be a Skinner.
Hunters naturally hunt beasts. Be sure to hunt down the skinnable ones. In Wrath of the Lich King, Chilled Meat, Rhino Meat, and Worm Meat can bring in lots of WoW gold. And the mobs where they come from are skinnable as well. That’s maximizing your farming time. With lots of Leatherworkers leveling up their profession, leathers would be in demand. Also be sure to pick up another gathering skill such as herbalism or mining. That way you can track down nearby nodes in your minimap and maximizing your time out on the field by picking up other resources as well.
Beast Mastery is a Must.
Hunters who would want to spend their time farming with less downtime should put most of their Talent Points into Beast Mastery. When done right, the pet could handle most of the mobs that he would be aggroing.
Have Full Ammo When Going Out.
This should be remembered all the time. Make sure that your ammo bag is full before going out on your farming. That way you don’t need to go back just to buy some bullets or quivers. It’s a common mistake for hunters not to check their ammo before leaving their camp.
These are just some ways in which the Hunter has the advantage over other classes. These are the reasons why you’ll see a lot of Hunters riding on their epic Mammoth mounts.
