Legion Alpha: Beast Mastery has arrived, quivers, new Hunter legendary items, and glyphs

27 Comments
Finally! Beast Mastery is unlocked on the Legion alpha. The current build has been unstable thus far so it's difficult to get any serious testing done, but I did manage to complete the Titanstrike artifact quest line and complete a level. Having now played through all three Hunter artifact scenarios, I definitely think the … Continue Reading ››

Legion Alpha Update: Where’s my Beast Mastery?

15 Comments
I need some Beast Mastery in my life. I'm just not feeling much of an attachment to SV or MM yet. I hate to say it, but Blizzard may have changed them too much for my liking. Normally I am receptive to change and try to see the positive side to this sort of thing, but I … Continue Reading ››

New Year, New Alpha: Marksmanship unlocked, alternate Hati colors, mechanical dog

19 Comments
Aaaaaand we're back. Sort of. The Legion alpha is back online and with it comes our first look at Marksmanship! Beast Mastery is still locked out but should hopefully be available soon. Unfortunately a bug in the Marksmanship artifact scenario is preventing progression, but I expect that will be fixed relatively soon. I still managed … 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 ››

Beast Mastery will dual wield pets in Legion

16 Comments
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 … 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: Some more time with the Melee Hunter

20 Comments
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 … 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 ››
