I normally use hunters mark in PvP to show others that I have seen them and to shy them away.
For 1vs1 situations I do not use it, it costs to
much time and it puts me into the target of the opponent which gives him a clue from where the attack will come. The surprise factor is more important than the 100 RAP I get from the Mark from my point of view.
But e.g. in arathi basin when defending a base, from time to time a single player comes near your base.
At least 4 out of 10 times just putting a hunters mark on him brings him to run away again g.

I personally don't usually do it for the surprise factor... but the statement above is correct... it's not essential.It's mostly just a waste of time in BGs. That's a whole second sooner you could shoot someone with a special shot, instead of marking and strafing while they run away.
plus, since rogues can vanish out of it now, it's not useful for keeping track of them.-Ayrianna 80 Nightelf Hunter - Queen of Typos

I'm sorry. But Petopi-what?I am playing a lot of BG but I notice that hunters
alot of times don`t put huntermark on there target. Also in PVP videos on Youtube I don`t see them doing it. I for one do it all the time. Should I stop? Don`t people do it because it actives GCD? Why?-Dwarf Hunter (lev 48)
