Bear Trap will be a Survival DPS cooldown

5 Comments
A couple weeks ago, Celestalon tweeted that survival hunters were getting a new ability called Bear Trap. I speculated it might be a DPS cooldown since survival was sorely lacking in that department, and it looks like it will be. Beast mastery has Bestial Wrath, marksmanship has Rapid Fire, and … Continue Reading ››

Pet(s) of the Week: Wolves that bark, growl, and howl

3 Comments
That there is my Oil-stained Wolf named Void. They are no longer tameable with their oily coat intact -- I thought I would get that out of the way first (sorry about that 😛 ). Aside from looking really cool, this wolf has a neat little feature of barking/growling when he is clicked. It turns out … Continue Reading ››

Hunter Transmog: Green Machine

3 Comments
This set was built primarily around the heroic version of these shoulders, which drop in Dragon Soul. They have a really neat visual effect of spectral wolves flying out of them periodically (see below screenshot). For the rest of it, I just used the best greenish colored armor I had available. Most of the main armor … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Sparkwing

3 Comments
The spiked wind serpents only had a couple colors available prior to Mists of Pandaria even though there were other unused colors in the game files for years. Blizzard remedied this by scattering a bunch of new rares in 5.1 and 5.2 to get some of those colors in the wild. Sparkwing, pictured above, … Continue Reading ››

Just used up my luck for the next year

About a year ago, I got the Reins of the Onyxian Drake and Reins of the Azure Drake on the same day and I joked then that my luck would be bad for the next year. I was right. But then this happened: ashesfiery I'll … Continue Reading ››

5 Comments
Hunters are losing a dozen or so abilities in Warlords of Draenor. Depending on what hunter you ask, you'll get a different answer to this question. I understand the reasoning behind most of these decisions, but there's just some abilities I'm really going to miss.
Abilities I'll miss
1. Distracting Shot
I'll admit this is not a button … Continue Reading ››
