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 ››

Legion Alpha: Some more things making me grumpy about Survival

14 Comments
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 … Continue Reading ››

Legion Alpha: Hunter tier 19 armor preview

12 Comments
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 … Continue Reading ››

Legion Alpha: Testing the new melee Survival Hunter

16 Comments
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 … Continue Reading ››

Trueshot Lodge: An early preview of the Hunter class hall

12 Comments
Located in the peaks of Highmountain lies Trueshot Lodge, every Hunter's home away from home. Here we will tend to our artifact weapons, get in some target practice, manage our stables, show off our pets to other Hunters, and probably engage in some rowdy behavior in the bar section. Trueshot Lodge will also be the center … Continue Reading ››

Legion Beta: New potential Hunter pets, the Mech family, and pet buff changes

22 Comments
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 … Continue Reading ››

Legion Alpha: Preliminary list of Hunter talents

27 Comments
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 … Continue Reading ››
