What is the best way to use a hunter on World of Warcraft

The best way is to send in your pet(make sure he knows growl highest level available) and give him a few seconds to gain aggro then start shooting the target. you can use your pet to take aggro off you.the pet that you should look for is one that can be a good tank for you and to good dps. Also, a hunter should know how to use different abilities and traps to keep his opponent far away and vulnerable to the hunters bow/gun. ------------ the best pet to level up is a bear like creature since it will work like a tank for you just like the voidwalker for locks, when you start doing dungeons and raids you should get a pet that matches your abilities maybe a dps like a panther or a spider for the venom a lot of hunters prefer a snake
