PvP Hunters Unite (or at least help me out)

OK, I have been doing a bunch of battlegrounds lately and in many cases I do OK holding my own. Those cases being when I can hide in a bush and attack a holy priest, or I follow other BG members around and wait til the guy they are attacking is a half health then pile on.

So, the question is, if I am truly going to be all that I can be in PvP, what are some tricks that I need up my sleeve (or under my bracer)?

What has worked for you, or what do hunters do to you?

Any help in my quest to not be a complete cupcake in the battlegrounds would be much appreciated!

Show Topic Ideas

Our next show will be coming out soon and in it, Elly and I talk more about our adventures in the game. We originally had an interview planned, but unfortunately, that fell through. It seems that the interviews shows have been something that you all like, so we are actively working on getting more lined up.

In that same vein, I would be interested to hear if there are topics you'd like to see discussed. We have a couple in mind, but would love to hear ideas from you guys.

Let us know!

Below are pics from our experience:

This is the room where Moroes is - the 2nd boss - he is to the right (not pictured).








The second and third night of Kara, Elly was able to return, Sal was not. We got Moroes down. One of the tanks got a nice tanking trinket and we DE'd the Pally boots as we didn't have any with us. Below is the Opera Event, where 1 of 3 encounters can occur (Red Riding Hood, Wizard of Oz and Romulo and Julianne). We got Oz as you can tell by the announcers introduction.

We also tried the Maiden once
