Hunter news from day 2 of BlizzCon 2015

12 Comments
For the most part, Blizzard focused on broader topics rather than specific class information. That doesn't mean we didn't learn nothing about Hunters though! I've picked up this information from various sources over the course of today. Just a reminder that a lot of this isn't confirmed and can change.

WoD Beta 18689: Perks on the chopping block

7 Comments
The Draenor perk system has been changed to only grant 4 perks on your way from 90-100 (down from 9 perks). Most of the damage boosting perks have been baked into their respective spells, but some perks have been removed outright. I'm not sure why this was done to be honest. After leveling a lot on … Continue Reading ››

The highlight of this beta patch was a serious amount of new tameable hunter pets. We have two new pet families and a bunch of new pet skins to discover. Let's get the non-pet stuff out of the way first because there's not much of it in this build:

11 Comments
The amazing header image for this post was created by Draven aka SpiritBinder of WarcraftMounts.com. Unfortunately, Chimaera Shot doesn't look quite that cool in the game!

The best new Hunter Glyph: Glyph of Play Dead

5 Comments

It only takes up a minor slot, so you don't have to worry about it clashing with anything important. The pet not only plays its death animation but also drops aggro. This … Continue Reading ››

WoD Alpha: Quick first impressions of the 3 hunter specs

7 Comments
I've spent some time with all 3 specs recently. Ran the dungeon at least twice with each, and did a little bit of testing (what little I could without a damage meter). Yesterday, I shared some more general impressions of the alpha as a whole.  Today, I'm keeping it short and to the point.  … Continue Reading ››
