Pet(s) of the Week: Matching hunter pets and mounts are awesome

9 Comments
I get a huge kick out of having matching pets and mounts, so I wanted to share my latest couple of matches. The one above is the Trained Snarler mount and the Riding Wolf pet from Nagrand. The mount is obtained through the garrison stables building. It's one of the 6 you're … Continue Reading ››

This transmog submission comes from Coffeeman from Silvermoon-EU. He calls it Bloodfury and I think it looks pretty darn cool! I've put this set together in a … Continue Reading ››

First 5 days of Warlords: Gearing up, garrisons, and hunter stuff

17 Comments
I know it's been a few days since I've posted, but I've got a good excuse with, you know, Warlords coming out and all. I was thankfully immune from most of the launch issues.  I was there at the first minute, and with a group of guildies I managed to get ahead of the main crowd. I … 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 ››

This week, Darkbrew, Delirium, and myself talk about BlizzCon 2014, how hunter DPS is looking at 100 (which is all subject to change once they launch Warlords), and our plans for the Warlords launch. Artemishowl and Solarflair were out this week. The show is broadcast live on Twitch TV every second Sunday at 10:00 am ET … Continue Reading ››

Looking back at BlizzCon, looking forward to Warlords

20 Comments
While I think this was definitely Blizzard's best BlizzCon yet, it wasn't my best BlizzCon. Why? Not enough WoW! 😥 One of the highlights for me was actually the World of Warcraft: Looking for Group documentary they premiered yesterday. It was great! I highly recommend watching that if you haven't yet. The WoW … Continue Reading ››

The end of beta, BlizzCon predictions, and the Warlords strategy guide

18 Comments
Well, the beta is finally shut down after almost exactly 5 months of testing (including the alpha). I first got in on June 17th, and at the time the alpha was still limited to Horde characters in the Frostfire Ridge zone only (up to level 92). This was a couple of weeks after the alpha … Continue Reading ››

Final beta video: B-roll footage of hunter pets at 60fps!

8 Comments
If you didn't know, YouTube recently introduced support for 60fps videos. You obviously need to upload the video in 60fps for this to work, and YouTube also seems very picky with the encode settings, but once it works it's pretty cool! It only works in the Google Chrome browser (or IE11 if you enable … Continue Reading ››

More number tuning for hunters, and it seems pretty reasonable

13 Comments
Blizzard just posted some new class tuning hotfixes which should go live soon. Even though most of this is nerfs, I have to say these are reasonable changes based on where we stood after the last round of buffs we received. Combined with the changes to other classes, we were doing quite well at level … Continue Reading ››
