Patch 7.0 Hunter Info Dump: Pets, addons, stats, trinkets, and more

61 Comments
It's been nearly 13 months since the last major WoW patch. Can we never have that happen again, Blizzard? Please? Alright then... so what's there for a Hunter to do on patch day? Well, I can tell you what I'll be doing. First I'll login to every character to collect their transmogs, then vendor most of … Continue Reading ››

Weapon options for Survival Hunters in patch 7.0

7 Comments
If you're interested in playing Survival when patch 7.0 drops, you may be wondering what the heck you're supposed to use for a weapon since you probably only own ranged weapons at the moment. Sure, you will be getting your Talonclaw on day one of Legion, but for the 4-5 weeks in the interim you … Continue Reading ››

Legion: More number tuning for Hunters

15 Comments
Today's beta build brought a few interesting changes (along with some nerfs) that are worth talking about.

A disappointing alpha and beta for Hunters

46 Comments
The Legion alpha and beta process has been a long one. I've been in for nearly 7 months, and I wasn't even in the first wave. One would expect a good deal of iteration over such a long period of time, but for Hunters that really hasn't been the case. Blizzard was receptive to feedback … Continue Reading ››

How to craft (and tame) your very own Iron Juggernaut

42 Comments
Well, this is a first. In Legion (well, technically patch 7.0) Hunters will be able to venture into Siege of Orgrimmar and gather parts to make their very own Iron Juggernaut pet -- in four different colors! To fully discover all the ins and outs of this taming challenge took many hours of searching around SoO, … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Lowland Manashell (aka Tortos)

5 Comments
Ever wanted to tame Tortos? Well, now you can -- sort of. In lieu of actually making the boss from Throne of Thunder tameable, Blizzard has re-used Tortos' model for a new turtle species, the Lowland Manashell.  These turtles are found in Suramar, the level 110-only zone in the Broken Isles. More specifically, in … Continue Reading ››

New Hunter Glyphs in Legion

14 Comments
The glyph system in Legion is changing in several ways. First, there are no more major glyphs, only cosmetic minor glyphs. Second, glyphs are now applied to the affected ability directly and are consumable. You can no longer permanently learn a glyph. For example, when you right-click one of the Dire Beast glyphs it will … Continue Reading ››

Legion: First round of number tuning for Hunters

11 Comments
The latest alpha build (geez, it's still alpha after 5 months?) is the start of class number tuning. Beast Mastery Hunters saw some fairly big numbers changes on both abilities and talents, a lot of them for the better. Survival and Marksmanship saw fewer adjustments. Here's what Celestalon had to say about this build: [bluequote author="Celestalon" … Continue Reading ››

How to tame Friender the Mechano Wolf

19 Comments
I think it's safe to say that Friender the mechano wolf is the first legitimate taming challenge discovered in Legion. We have Treble and Rush, which are found via track hunting, but Friender is something completely new. Shout out to Kyfus who was the first Hunter to discover this one. When Blizzard first announced mechanical … Continue Reading ››

The Legion has not claimed me

5 Comments
I apologize for the extended absence. I've been extremely busy IRL and any time I've had to write about Hunters has gone to my bi-weekly Blizzard Watch columns. Things have calmed down a bit and I should be able to get some regular posts going again. The good news is... I didn't really miss that … Continue Reading ››
