Warning: This post is going to be a bit of a rant. If you're looking for objective analysis, you can skip this post, alright?
The most recent alpha build has some changes to Survival that unfortunately made the spec... less exciting... for me. Alpha/beta is a very iterative process so I guess this is to be …

I've talked about my desire for Beast Mastery to be able to have two pets many times in the past, and I'm happy to say it looks like it's becoming a reality in Legion. I hesitate to get too excited since things can so easily change at this point, but I can't resist.
The extra pet is …

Both Wowhead and MMO-Champion posted previews of the Hunter tier 19 (and PvP) armor today. This is definitely Sylvanas-inspired armor and will probably suit Marksmanship the best with their
Dark Ranger talent and the
Thas'dorah bow. There are many colors for the various difficulties and PvP tiers, with the Mythic and Elite PvP …

I've warmed up to the melee Hunter a little more since my
last post. I still don't think it's going to pull me away from my bread and butter (Beast Mastery), but I am starting to get the hang of it. I still sometimes need to remind myself to use traps more often because …

I'm in Alpha! Yay! So far only Survival is playable, so I was kinda forced into trying out the melee Hunter first. The most recent
Locked and Loaded I posted at Blizzard Watch goes into my initial thoughts on the spec (keeping in mind it's still incredibly early). I'll talk about some of that …

Trueshot Lodge will also be the center …

More fun stuff is coming out of this weekend's initial datamining, this time related to pets. MMO-Champion has been
posting a bunch of new models, and some of them look like they could become Hunter pets.
Standard disclaimer: This is still super early in the beta process and literally everything could change.
Pet buffs removed?
It looks …

Datamining has been happening for the past day or so, but it's not until now that we get to the juicy stuff:
spell data. It's great that Wowhead got it all up so fast, but it's a huge data dump and not fully contextualized yet. I attempted to filter out the weird and …

We can officially say that every race can now play as the best class in the game. Alex Afrasiabi announced the news on Twitter today: Gnome Hunters are coming in Legion!
Remember during Warlords of Draenor's development when Blizzard was talking about "spec differentiation?" It almost became a buzz phrase. They sort of delivered, but not in a way that mattered much. At their core, the 3 Hunter specs were still the same. We had a Focus generator, a Focus dump, and a signature ability. The "differentiation" …
