Update: Giveaway closed. Winners announced!
I wanted to give a little something back to all my awesome readers. Thanks for reading my ramblings about hunters, commenting, retweeting, emailing me with support, and generally being awesome hunters. The site is only 6 months old and I'm in awe at all the support in such a short time.
If you don't yet … Continue Reading ››
Seriously? Changes on the way for talents and Lock and Load
I could have changed a few things in the large feedback post I published just a couple of hours ago if I would have known this was coming, but Celestalon and his impeccable timing posted this update for hunters about an hour afterwards. Thanks, Celestalon!
At least my post wasn't all for naught. … Continue Reading ››
Another expansion of BM? The state of the hunter in Warlords
There's a problem with survival and marksmanship on the beta right now: no one seems to be happy with the two specs. I know that may sound a little hyperbolic, but I've looked for positive feedback all over the place -- blogs, twitter, forums, even in game -- and I struggle to find any.
Beast mastery … Continue Reading ››
New hunter pet families in Warlords of Draenor
Warlords of Draenor is introducing five new hunter pet families, bringing the grand total to 48 different families. It's kind of disturbing to think that we barely have enough stable slots to house one pet from each family. Many families will remain unrepresented in my stables unfortunately (WTB more stable slots), but these five new families will … Continue Reading ››
WoD Beta 18764: Hunter number tuning, round 2
Updated with a Thrill of the Hunt change coming in a future build (bottom of post).

- Aimed Shot (MM) now deals 350% weapon damage (Continue Reading ››
Hunter Transmog: Outrunner’s Mail
I saw this one posted on Twitter by @ikralla and thought it looked nice for a Pandaren hunter transmog. He kindly provided me with some screenshots and an item list so I can share it with you. I'm more into the bulkier armor, but a lot of people like these more minimalist transmogs … Continue Reading ››
WoD Beta 18738: First pass at hunter number tuning
The first round of beta number tuning is in. Beast mastery is nerfed, survival is buffed, and marksmanship is sort of buffed. There's very little else going on hunter-wise. No new abilities, mechanics, glyphs, pet changes, or anything else I can see. 😕 I was kind of hoping for more. I really don't like the … Continue Reading ››
Sunday Catch Up: WoD release date, hunter spell effects, and other stuff
November 13, 2014. Only 10 days away from the actual 10-year anniversary. I like the date. It'll add an extra level of excitement to the BlizzCon festivities since they're so close together. I'll be killing Iron Horde at the Dark Portal and the revamped UBRS on one screen, with the BlizzCon livestream on the other.
The … Continue Reading ››
Pet of the Week: Boar Spirit (get this one before 6.0) UPDATED
This week we're taking a little break from new Warlords of Draenor pets for a PSA on the Boar Spirit. This ghostly armored boar seems to be disappearing completely in patch 6.0. If you've ever wanted this particular boar, or are just a pet collector and can't stand to not own something that … Continue Reading ››
WoD Beta: Number tuning is almost here, but is that all?
Survival and marksmanship are in need of some help in the damage department, and it's coming soon.
Theorycrafters! Just finished implementing our first round of DPS tuning (primarily focused on single target). Should be in the next build.
