Beast Mastery Hunter PvP Guide in Battle for Azeroth (Shadowlands Pre-Patch 9.0.1)

Beast Mastery Hunters are in a very strong position in the meta right now. They not only have some of the best single-target sustained damage, but they are also one of the hardest classes to connect to for melee. Because their pets are the main damage dealers for Beast Mastery Hunters, even when they are in crowd control, they are still capable of dealing large amounts of damage. They use abilities like Disengage to kite enemy teams and Freezing Trap to lock a healer down.

• Great control
• Decent mobility
• Strong consistent damage

• Hard to get crowd control without the help of teammates
• Weak to teams with multiple stuns
• Very few defensive cooldowns
