Pet of the Week: Druids in Travel Form

17 Comments
Blizzard finally gave into our demands and made druids tameable. The catch is you can only tame them in their travel form. So if you were hoping for a kitty or bear druid, you're out of luck (for now). A druid in travel form is part of the Stag family once tamed and brings the versatility … 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 ››

Hunter Transmog: Stormbreaker

9 Comments
Here we have another reader-submitted transmog, this one from Michael. He didn't name it, so I did. Seemed like it was based around the chest piece, so I thought it was a fitting name. This may be a slightly challenging transmog set to complete because many of these pieces are quest rewards (though it looks like … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Spirit of Atha

10 Comments
Hail Hydra! That seems to be the hunter mantra of the week. Everywhere I go, I see hunters sporting their newly tamed hydras. Arguably one of the coolest is Spirit of Atha, the ghost hydra. This isn't the first time I've tamed this elusive beast. I was one of those who tamed … Continue Reading ››

Celestalon: “Hunters are just at the top of our list right now”

27 Comments
Good news! And no, my awesome matching talbuk mount and pet combos have nothing to do with it. We've been complaining about our numbers for a while, but most of our evidence was based on simulations, which the devs were quick to dismiss. Now that we have actual logs to back it up, it's becoming clear that … Continue Reading ››
