The Burning Crusade Hunter Against Hunters

Hunters

If you're BM spec, sic your pet on the other hunter, concussive shot or intimidate him while charging into melee, then wing clip + frost trap once you're in melee range. You will basically want to behave like a warrior in this matchup, with the bonus that you are able to concussive shot the other hunter to prevent him from kiting. Even without TBW, BM hunters will cream MM hunters if they can get into melee range. If you have improved mend pet, use it to remove freezing trap if your TBW is down.

For MM hunters versus non-BM hunters, the basic idea is to bring the other hunter's health below yours and then jump into melee range.

First lay down a freezing trap to take the pet out of the equation. Try to scatter shot the other hunter soon after, before your trap has worn off. This allows you to do a shot opener without the pet beating on you to interrupt your aimed or steady shot. Once your opener is done, concussive shot and run into melee range so that the opposing hunter can't do the same back to you.

If you're expecting a longer fight, use viper sting to drain the other hunter's mana. For example, if you see a hunter at max range, viper sting him and then run the other way while kiting with aspect of the viper turned on. If you are out of mana yourself, try to stay in deadzone or melee range to prevent the other hunter from tearing you apart with his shots.

Jousting is also effective in hunter vs. hunter. Pop in and out of deadzone and melee range to get shots off. This works particularly well if your latency is higher than the other hunter's: you can wing clip him, run to minimum range, shoot, and then run to deadzone.

Use feign death strategically. Feign will get the opposing pet off of us and will break any non-instant casts. If you are frozen and the other hunter is winding up an aimed shot, start spamming your feign death, because there is a possibility that the trap will break before his cast time has finished.

Silencing shot stops some abilities such as trapping so we should use it when possible.

When all else fails, kill the other hunter's pet and viper sting him. Pets have zero resilience and most hunters use a low health DPS pet. Taking out the hunter's pet and mana renders him somewhat useless.
