Budget 39 Twink Hunter for Battlegrounds
Written by cd34.

A while back I had a bank alt that I needed to level to 35 to get Alchemy and Leatherworking up to a more respectable level. Along the way, I figured I’d make another low budget twink with relatively easily obtainable items. I didn’t really like the 30-39 bracket much, and now that level 30 players have mounts, I believe that will have changed the entire dynamic of the game. I played this bracket for a while, and will probably leave my hunter where he is, but, I doubt I’ll play much in this bracket. Here are my notes for making a budget twink hunter in the 30-39 bracket.

In this bracket, I dislike guns. You’re a lot more powerful than you had been in the 29 bracket where guns do make a lot of sense. There’s nothing more frightening to the defenders in the flag room to hear the boom of a gun as it hits one of them. They believe the entire team is on the way. With a bow, you can catch people offguard because they never hear their teammate get hit.

As for pets, I’ve seen a few and it depends on what type of player you are. For Defense, I like a cat. They have a little better stealth detection and parked in the right place, rogues cannot get by. For FC/EFC support, I like boars for their charge & stun. Scorpions are interesting with their poisons. Cats also are very good for targeting casters with as they have a very fast attack speed and that interrupts casting. Ravagers do pure DPS in this bracket and since you don’t need to worry about taking aggro from a tank, killing your target fast is a great benefit. I chose a cat for the Caster Interrupting and the increased stealth detection as I run D quite a bit more frequently than I run O. In WoLK, there will be a number of different pet skills added and the entire pet mechanics are going to be changed, so, you might find yourself getting a new pet when WoLK is released.

Remember to put your [item]29534[/item] or [item]29536[/item] on your legs before you equip them.

Again, there are much better items that you can get, but, the goal here was to create a bank alt/transmuter that I could also run battlegrounds with.

    The idea here was to make a relatively cheap and easy to gear toon that had a little more survivability in 39s.

    With the gear above, I have been able to take on some pretty well geared twinks and still come out alive. A smart twink will still take me down, but, there are plenty of geared twinks that don’t really know how to play their class.

    The hands are great. Not the best but a good alternative. You should spec so that 100% of your intellect converts to attack power anyway. It’s stoopid not too. 9 more attack power and the addition to the mana pool is great. There are better cloth gloves that drop from Ravelosh in Uldaman. There have been a lot of changes in th recent past. Would not be a bad idea to update the info inside.

    I should add a couple side notes, since this is a “budget twink” the two professions that I would suggest are herbalism and skinning. Both cost nothing to level and you can sell the mats on the AH to help fund yourself. In addition to this as you level them you get (Master of Anatomy) for skinning 300 and (Lifeblood) from 300 Herbalism. These are maxed at 300 due to level requirements after BC and WotLK. Master of anatomy gives + to crit and lifeblood is a heal over time. Mining gives a stamina boost but I would suggest the heals over the small amount of stamina. One last thing level bandaging to 300 so you can use Netherweave Bandages. (You can’t make em but you can buy them)
