Quickly –
(1) Weapon Speed – slowest is best, for hard(er)-hitting Aimed Shots and Multi-Shots. Faster ranged weapons also mean using up your ammo faster. Not a big deal, but that’s another consideration.
(2) Herbalism/Skinning, Mining/Skinning, Herbalism/Mining until you’re Level 40 or have 100G for your Level 40 Mount (whichever happens first). Consider Engineering after 40.
(3)/(4)/(5) The Rake is a good pet because it’s attack speed is 1.2. For LOTS MORE information about pets, see here https:// www.wow-petopia. com/classic/
(6) If you learn a higher level pet skill, the ‘difference’ in TP between the lower level (that you already know) and the higher level will be ‘refunded’ to you
(7) Main-hand weapon type really doesn’t matter for Hunters. The +5 bonus to axes is nice for an Orc, but Hunters do not need to concern themselves with melee weapon type. Go with whatever has the best stats, or whatever type you like the most (I like axes on my Orc, staffs or polearms on my Fruit Elf)
(8) Yes, it’s fine. You really cant go ‘wrong’ leveling as a BM Hunter.
(9) Bonuses to ranged weapon speed is primarily from your ammo pouch/quiver
(10) Intimidation is the only stun. Freezing Trap is not a stun, but will completely paralyze the target. Scatter Shot is a disorient. Freezing Trap and Scatter Shot will turn-off pet attack, but will break on any damage (including Viper Sting).
