Track hunting for rare pets is returning in Legion

18 Comments
Do you remember rare pets from Mists of Pandaria such as Portent, Hexapos, and Savage? These pets required you to look for their tracks to hunt them down. We didn't get any new rares like this in Warlords, but it looks like they are returning for Legion! This time, instead of animal tracks … Continue Reading ››

Beast Mastery News: Hati customization, Dire Beast replacement

17 Comments
Shortly after I wrote this initial piece on what I felt was wrong with the Beast Mastery fantasy in Legion, the developers announced that they planned on adding a glyph so that Dire Beast would pull from your own stable of pets rather than use random ones from the wild. This addressed one of … Continue Reading ››

Legion: Marksmanship is getting its pet back

28 Comments
This post is brought to you by Warcraft, in theaters this June! Seriously though, check out that dwarf! Lothar can't believe that someone called him a Huntard to his face like that. Clearly they didn't see that this dwarf was packing.  Let's pretend he is a Marksmanship Hunter so that it's relevant to this post. The big news came in … Continue Reading ››

The first Legion taming pass is here! This round brings us some new pets that Hunters have been requesting for years. We now have a total of 3 new pet families in Legion: Oxen, Scalehide, and Mechanical. Future Survival Hunters will be happy to know that none of them are Exotic families. In addition, we have … Continue Reading ››

What’s wrong with the Beast Mastery fantasy in Legion [Updated]

61 Comments
Alright, I know some of you don't give a crap about class fantasy. That's fine, but this post probably doesn't concern you. This post concerns the Hunters like me who camp rare pets for days on end and agonize over the naming of their pets. I'm not going to be talking about mechanics or numbers here, … Continue Reading ››

Legion Alpha: Beast Mastery has arrived, quivers, new Hunter legendary items, and glyphs

27 Comments
Finally! Beast Mastery is unlocked on the Legion alpha. The current build has been unstable thus far so it's difficult to get any serious testing done, but I did manage to complete the Titanstrike artifact quest line and complete a level. Having now played through all three Hunter artifact scenarios, I definitely think the … Continue Reading ››

Legion Alpha Update: Where’s my Beast Mastery?

15 Comments
I need some Beast Mastery in my life. I'm just not feeling much of an attachment to SV or MM yet. I hate to say it, but Blizzard may have changed them too much for my liking. Normally I am receptive to change and try to see the positive side to this sort of thing, but I … Continue Reading ››

New Year, New Alpha: Marksmanship unlocked, alternate Hati colors, mechanical dog

19 Comments
Aaaaaand we're back. Sort of. The Legion alpha is back online and with it comes our first look at Marksmanship! Beast Mastery is still locked out but should hopefully be available soon. Unfortunately a bug in the Marksmanship artifact scenario is preventing progression, but I expect that will be fixed relatively soon. I still managed … Continue Reading ››

Hunter Transmog: Challenge Mode Weapons

5 Comments
Consider this to be your 6-month warning. Like the Challenge Mode armor from Mists of Pandaria, the Challenge Mode weapons from Warlords of Draenor will probably be going away forever in the 7.0 patch.  I remember the mad rush for people to complete the MoP CMs in the final days leading up to 6.0. I knew … Continue Reading ››

Infallible Tracking Charm: How does the heirloom trinket stack up?

5 Comments
I've gotten a handful of questions about the heirloom trinket, so I thought it was worth a quick post to make the info easily searchable. Is the Infallible Tracking Charm worth using? It will obviously be a nice trinket for leveling to 110 as it scales up, but how about now, in Hellfire Citadel? For … Continue Reading ››
