Fun Hunter Glyph Ideas

18 Comments
Hunter glyphs? Let's be honest. They're not terribly exciting. I'm talking more about the minor glyphs here. We do have some pretty good major ones, even though we now have fewer options in Warlords due to some of them being exclusive with each other.  For example, you can't use Glyph of … Continue Reading ››

WoD Beta 18689: Perks on the chopping block

7 Comments
The Draenor perk system has been changed to only grant 4 perks on your way from 90-100 (down from 9 perks). Most of the damage boosting perks have been baked into their respective spells, but some perks have been removed outright. I'm not sure why this was done to be honest.

Hunter scopes in Warlords of Draenor

13 Comments
It looks like hunters will finally have more than one weapon enchant to choose from, for the first time since vanilla that I can recall (back then it was 3% hit or +9 weapon damage I believe). Unfortunately they still don't make your weapon glow or shoot out flaming arrows or anything fancy like that. … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Draenor Raptors

11 Comments
I'm looking forward to using raptor pets more often in Warlords of Draenor. Not just because of these cool new models/skins, but because raptors now bring a crit buff, Strength of the Pack, which makes them useful in more situations. The best way to describe these new raptors is just that they're classic WoW … Continue Reading ››
