Marksmanship Hunter Guide WoW: Midnight
About the Class
Marksmanship Hunter (MM) is a ranged fighter who uses ranged weapons (bow, crossbow, firearms). In combat, they use various shots and volleys to deal damage. Despite having many instant-cast abilities, the main abilities require fairly long cast times, which negatively affects mobility.
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 🟩 Decent and consistent damage in both single-target and AoE. | 🟥 Small number of abilities, which greatly limits rotation. The class may seem boring to some players. |
| 🟩 Simple rotation that allows you to quickly learn the class and perform well. | 🟥 Requires time to cast strong abilities, which limits mobility. |
| 🟩 Has a raid buff that grants 30% haste for 30 seconds (BL, Heroism). | 🟥 Few crowd control abilities and abilities that help the group. |

Mythic+ Tips
Tip #1
Make sure to use 
Misdirection on the tank before dealing damage or when the tank asks you to redirect threat from a mob pack (for example, pulling distant mobs to the tank or if someone in the group accidentally pulled and the tank can't redirect threat at the moment).
Tip #2
The ability 
Feign Death allows you to drop mob aggro if you accidentally pull an extra pack. This ability also lets you avoid many targeted abilities from mobs and bosses.
Tip #3
Use 
Camouflage if you need to pass by a group of enemies. This ability gives you full invisibility.
Tip #4
The abilities 
Exhilaration and 
Survival of the Fittest also work on summoned pets. Use them if you need to protect or heal your pets.
