Hunter Transmog: Black Scourgestalker

23 Comments
This is a recolor of the tier 8 hunter set. Out of the 4 colors available (red, blue, green, black) I definitely think this one takes the cake. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Blizzard did not add the black version of the helm to the game. I couldn't find a good match in my transmog collection, … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: King Krush

Day 1: I just dinged level 80 and I heard about this new rare Devilsaur pet called King Krush. He's the only green devilsaur. I must tame this beast! Day 6: A fellow hunter who encountered this rare beast told me his initial attempts to tame the beast were unsuccessful because it would fear … Continue Reading ››

Revamping the hunter stable in garrisons

7 Comments
Pets are, without a doubt, the primary reason I play a hunter. I think Blizzard has been pretty good to us over the years, putting a lot of development time and effort into something that serves only a single class. We have 45 pet families and, if you count all the different skins and color … Continue Reading ››

Hunter Transmog: Howling Beast

7 Comments
The Howling Beast armor is the ultimate transmog for hunters who like the "wear what you kill" style of armor. I'm going to tell you up front that you need to get a gold medal in all 9 of the Mists of Pandaria challenge mode dungeons in order to earn it. If you've been thinking … Continue Reading ››

Quick Tip: Solo Valithria with spirit beasts

6 Comments
Update for post patch 6.0: This strategy no longer works since pet ability cooldowns (Spirit Mend in this case) are now shared between pets. The good news is you can just skip Valithria if you want now. Valithria Dreamwalker is usually the main stumbling block for pure DPS or DPS/tank classes in Icecrown Citadel … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Gezzarak / Zormus

1 Comment
Warp Stalkers used to have a spell called Warp which is very similar to what Blink Strikes is today, only they had it many years earlier. You won't see many hunters using these pets since they don't provide a buff, but they do have their Time Warp ability. I'll admit to … Continue Reading ››

Thoughts on Elder Scrolls Online

Leave a comment
I am a big Elder Scrolls fan, having put many hundreds of hours into both Oblivion and Skyrim over the years. It seems at least once or twice a year I will get the Skyrim urge again. Elder Scrolls Online seemed like the perfect fit for someone like me who enjoys both Elder Scrolls and … Continue Reading ››

With an average item level of 578 and two 574 daggers, the vast majority of the damage was done by the pet. Only about 5% of … Continue Reading ››

Dust off Rexxar and get yourself a mount

6 Comments
It's been quite a few months since I played Hearthstone. I was really into it when I first got into beta, but it kinda died out for me. The Hearthsteed mount promo got me back into it and I'm ashamed to say those 3 wins took a lot longer than I … Continue Reading ››
