'''Footmen''' are warriors who serve as basic infantry in armies of the human nations. Comprising the bulk of the Alliance army, the footman is the heart of the war machine for elves, humans and dwarves. Fighting in close formation, they use proven tactical methods: Advance slowly with shields raised, then draw swords and close to melee range. The grim, mud-slogging [[soldier]] initially appears to be a grizzled veteran, until you get a glimpse of his young face. His weapons and armor look worn, like they were scavenged from a battlefield. Footmen like to travel in small groups and form ranks. They are attuned to formation fighting, and coordinate their attacks. They capable of bringing down well-armored opponents.{{Cite|APG|184-185}}

Expose Weakness is an ability from the [[Survival]] Talent Tree, which requires 30 Points in Survival and 5 Points in Lightning Reflexes, giving a 33%/66%/100% chance to Proc when you score a critical strike with your ranged attacks.

Footmen appeared as units on the human or Alliance side in [[Warcraft I]], [[Warcraft II]], and [[Warcraft III]]. They are weaker than a [[grunt]] in Warcraft III, with two footmen being unable to overcome one grunt in [[Exodus of the Horde]]. They do, however, cost much less.

Assuming the hunter has 3/3 in the 'Exposed Weakness' talent, his ranged critical hits will have a 100% chance of proccing an Expose Weakness effect onto the target. the higher the agility, the better. Crit rating and agility is of the utmost importance to the Survival hunter. More crit = more proc --> nearly never ending Expose Weakness.
