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 ››

Pet of the Week: Lowland Manashell (aka Tortos)

5 Comments
Ever wanted to tame Tortos? Well, now you can -- sort of. In lieu of actually making the boss from Throne of Thunder tameable, Blizzard has re-used Tortos' model for a new turtle species, the Lowland Manashell.  These turtles are found in Suramar, the level 110-only zone in the Broken Isles. More specifically, in … Continue Reading ››

Legion: First round of number tuning for Hunters

11 Comments
The latest alpha build (geez, it's still alpha after 5 months?) is the start of class number tuning. Beast Mastery Hunters saw some fairly big numbers changes on both abilities and talents, a lot of them for the better. Survival and Marksmanship saw fewer adjustments. Here's what Celestalon had to say about this build: [bluequote author="Celestalon" … Continue Reading ››

How to tame Friender the Mechano Wolf

19 Comments
I think it's safe to say that Friender the mechano wolf is the first legitimate taming challenge discovered in Legion. We have Treble and Rush, which are found via track hunting, but Friender is something completely new. Shout out to Kyfus who was the first Hunter to discover this one. When Blizzard first announced mechanical … Continue Reading ››

The Legion has not claimed me

5 Comments
I apologize for the extended absence. I've been extremely busy IRL and any time I've had to write about Hunters has gone to my bi-weekly Blizzard Watch columns. Things have calmed down a bit and I should be able to get some regular posts going again. The good news is... I didn't really miss that … Continue Reading ››

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 ››

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 ››
