An update for those still reading

35 Comments
Where have I been? Where are the posts? It's been over four months! Where's the podcast? The TLDR answer to all this is that I've simply lost my passion for WoW. At least its current state. I still have hope it could turn around sometime this year, and that Blizzard will pull their collective heads … Continue Reading ››

Beast Mastery Hunter Guide for Battle for Azeroth

19 Comments
Just thought I'd post that everything has been updated on my Wowhead Beast Mastery Guide and is now relevant for level 120. The guide is more detailed than it has been in the past as Wowhead has really upped their standards for class guides (seriously, this was a ton of work). You can easily … Continue Reading ››

So-long, Legion

5 Comments
It's always easy for me to tell how much I enjoyed an expansion just by looking at the percentage of my main character's time /played spent in it. Vanilla still holds the top spot in terms of raw hours, but Legion has actually moved to second place. Does that mean it's my favorite expansion? Hmm, … Continue Reading ››

Broken Tooth lives! Hunter pets can have different attack speeds once again

25 Comments
Before you read any more, let me TLDR this first: There is no appreciable damage difference between pet attack speeds because damage is normalized. For the most part, it simply adds flavor to different pets. First, a little history. Back in Vanilla WoW, several pets had different attack speeds (you can see the original list Continue Reading ››

The pre-patch is almost here! Today the Beast Mastery guide I've been working on was published over at Wowhead. It covers pretty much everything for Beast Mastery in 8.0.

BfA Beta: Changes to Animal Companion (Hati replacement), does almost everything your regular pet does

28 Comments
The Animal Companion talent has been in a near-unusable state for the majority of beta, but in today's build it has received some major updates. It's not as simple as the current tooltip indicates (a second pet that does Kill Command and nothing else). Once all the bugs and kinks are worked out, it looks … Continue Reading ››

Hunters get 10 more stable slots in Battle for Azeroth

15 Comments
You can now tame a total of 65 pets with the addition of a 6th page of stable slots! No, it's still probably not enough for some of you (an extra 100 might not be enough). But it's 10 more, so that's 10 new pets you can tame in 8.0 without worrying about having to … Continue Reading ››

Guide to Hunter Pets in Battle for Azeroth

37 Comments
Hunter pets are being streamlined in Battle for Azeroth. You can no longer freely choose the specialization for each of your pets because each family has a set specialization. Pets from all three specializations -- Ferocity, Tenacity, and Cunning -- will all deal the same DPS and have the same amount of baseline health and … Continue Reading ››

BfA Alpha: Changes to Dire Frenzy and Dire Beast, Bestial Wrath goes on the global cooldown

15 Comments
There is no longer a choice between Dire Frenzy or Dire Beast, all BM Hunters will now be using Dire Frenzy for their Focus generator/Bestial Wrath reset. Well, now it's actually called Barbed Shot instead of Dire Frenzy, and it behaves totally like a shot (in that it requires a ranged weapon, and uses … Continue Reading ››
