How to tame Lightning Paw

19 Comments
There's a new spirit beast to tame in patch 7.1.5! Lightning Paw is the first spirit beast fox and he has a unique lightning effect not seen on any other beasts. It's hard to see this in screenshots, so check out the short video clip embedded below. Somehow, we all missed him on the … Continue Reading ››

New Hunter pet family teased at BlizzCon (Gryphons and winged beasts)

18 Comments
Right after BlizzCon, Jeremy "Muffinus" Feasel tweeted that there were hints "somewhere on the internet" about a new Hunter pet family revealed at BlizzCon. Many Hunters, including myself, looked for this hint but couldn't find anything. I was pretty sure I had watched all of the BlizzCon interviews and read most of the articles, but I was wrong. … Continue Reading ››

Hunters at BlizzCon 2016: Traps coming back for Beast Mastery & Marksmanship

14 Comments
We've gotten a few exciting Hunter tidbits at BlizzCon 2016 so far. Ion Hazzikostas revealed a boatload of new content coming in patches 7.1.5 and 7.2. Hunter stuff aside, there is an insane amount of stuff coming in these patches. I don't even know where to start, but Wowhead has a good summary. Patch … Continue Reading ››

New Mechanical Hunter Pets on Alcaz Island in Patch 7.1

15 Comments
In patch 7.1, Alcaz Island in Dustwallow Marsh has turned into some kind of crazy robot island filled with deadly security bots, turrets, land mines, plus all of the evil gnomes who seemingly put them there. The place is a literal death trap. It begins with getting knocked off your flying mount with anti-aircraft fire … Continue Reading ››

Don’t worry, I’m still Huntering

18 Comments
Despite my absence from this blog (and Twitter, etc.) I want you to know I'm still around. I'm still playing WoW when I get the time and I'm still raiding. My absence from the community is hard to explain without getting too personal. It boils down to some heavy stuff happening IRL and not having … Continue Reading ››

Hunter spec disparity in Emerald Nightmare

63 Comments
Alright, I knew Survival would be the unpopular Hunter spec going into Legion, but I didn't think the disparity would be quite this severe. After a week of Emerald Nightmare, the numbers are in and it's not pretty for Survival. As I write this, there are ~48,000 Hunter parses in Heroic Emerald Nightmare on Warcraft Logs thus far. Only ~660 … Continue Reading ››

The first 10 days of Legion

33 Comments
That went by fast. I started by leveling to 110 in essentially "one sitting" which was exhausting but fun. Everything since then has been a blur of world quests and dungeon runs. Oh, and profession quests. Endless. Ceaseless. Profession quests. I'm still on that new expansion high so I'm not ready to say anything definitive … Continue Reading ››

Now is the time to get your Proving Grounds title

14 Comments
Reaching wave 30 on Endless mode in Proving Grounds to get "the Proven Assailant" title has always been a bit of a pain in the ass, but that has changed for Hunters in patch 7.0. I'd go as far to say as it's now been kind of trivialized for Marksmanship. You still need … Continue Reading ››

What are you playing?

57 Comments
Patch 7.0 is upon us and Hunters are... well, kind of different. The reaction I've seen to the new Hunter specs has been mixed to say the least. It's probably more shocking if you didn't put in any serious play time on the beta or PTR. These are new specs, and it's pretty much a … Continue Reading ››

Get Play Dead, Fetch, Aspect of the Chameleon, and a toy in Sholazar Basin

15 Comments
Hunters can regain some of the functionality of old glyphs by heading out to Sholazar Basin and visiting Mardan Thunderhoof at the Nesingwary Base Camp. Originally I thought these items were only available in the class hall, but it turns out I was wrong! Here is what this vendor sells. All four items cost 50 gold each.
