Weapon options for Survival Hunters in patch 7.0

7 Comments
If you're interested in playing Survival when patch 7.0 drops, you may be wondering what the heck you're supposed to use for a weapon since you probably only own ranged weapons at the moment. Sure, you will be getting your Talonclaw on day one of Legion, but for the 4-5 weeks in the interim you … Continue Reading ››

Infallible Tracking Charm: How does the heirloom trinket stack up?

5 Comments
I've gotten a handful of questions about the heirloom trinket, so I thought it was worth a quick post to make the info easily searchable. Is the Infallible Tracking Charm worth using? It will obviously be a nice trinket for leveling to 110 as it scales up, but how about now, in Hellfire Citadel? For … Continue Reading ››

How to tame a Fel Wolf in Tanaan Jungle

25 Comments
I hope you like wolves, because we've got another one for you to tame. Big congratulations to Qraljar on the Petopia forums for winning the contest to be first to discover how to tame a fel wolf!

Beast Mastery in 6.1

44 Comments
Well, it's been a couple of weeks since patch 6.1 dropped and I can say I haven't once specced out of Beast Mastery the entire time, and I'm loving it. I don't know what it is, but I just have more fun playing it. Survival is still strong but it was becoming stale for me. … Continue Reading ››

Patch 6.1: Hunter specs compared [Updated]

54 Comments
I originally did these simulations for my own amusement, but I thought I'd share them with you guys. Again, like most sims I post on this site they are done with whatever gear I'm wearing at the time (ilvl 672). Whenever you see "official" comparisons between specs on the actual Simulation Craft page, or on … Continue Reading ››

Hunter stats, or why multistrike is your new best friend [Updated]

11 Comments
Jan 14: This article has received some updates due to hotfixes. Updates are in red. Multistrike is good. Really good. You should probably enchant all of your gear and gem with nothing but multistrike for the time being. The one exception would be if you exclusively play Marksmanship. In that case, I'd probably still … Continue Reading ››

Hell, it’s about time

2 Comments
Warlords is (attempting) to launch in the EU as I write this, and I'm getting ready to go to sleep soon. Why would a grown man go to bed at 8 p.m. you ask? Simple. So he can wake up at around 2:30 a.m. and play a video game for a crapload of time. Before I go, I … Continue Reading ››

My Garrison Plans: What buildings and why

17 Comments
Warlords... it's so close! I've received some requests to do a post about garrisons, so here it is. It seems there is still a lot of confusion about this feature (hey, I'm still a bit confused myself!) so in an effort to help clear things up, I'm going to let you know what my first garrison … Continue Reading ››

Managing Sniper Training with WeakAuras

20 Comments
It's unfortunate that Sniper Training doesn't have some sort of built-in graphic or spell alert. Out of every hunter proc or passive, Sniper Training probably needs something like that the most. If it were up to me, I'd have it display something like a circular aura around the player's feet that changed color based on … Continue Reading ››

How to tame Gara the Spirit Beast

404 Comments
A couple of nights ago, a bunch of hunters banded together on Twitter and the Petopia forums to try to solve the Gara mystery on the beta. Those I recognized from the forums or Twitter were right beside me in game trying to figure out the same problems, coming up with … Continue Reading ››
