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 ››

If you've been following the patch 6.1 news, I'm sure you saw the change to Stampede: It now lasts 40 seconds, up from 20 seconds. A Murder of Crows was so good that they needed to literally double it to make it competitive. From my initial testing, it seems they were successful. However, … Continue Reading ››

Playing BM: It’s a matter of principle now

86 Comments
I've noticed a disturbing trend as of late. Some hunters are getting kicked from dungeon and raid groups simply because they don't conform to a very specific set of criteria: Marksmanship with the Lone Wolf talent.  At first I thought it was pretty anecdotal (and it probably still is), but I keep hearing about it. … Continue Reading ››

Ready for Highmaul

35 Comments
I've been keeping busy enough in game that I almost forgot that World of Warcraft has this thing called raiding. Also, is it just me or does it seem a lot longer than 2.5 weeks since launch? Feels like at least a month for me. At any rate, I am ready to jump into normal … Continue Reading ››

Blizzard is OK with some talents not working with Lone Wolf, more hints at a raid cooldown

2 Comments
We talked a little bit about this earlier when Celestalon mentioned that Master's Call and Spirit Bond would not work if a survival or marksmanship hunter chose the Lone Wolf talent.

More Lone Wolf details, Kill Shot being improved

21 Comments
One of the questions I always had about Lone Wolf is whether or not you'd actually be sacrificing anything by taking it. The damage from your pet is replaced, but you don't have to worry about your pet derping, so that damage is probably even greater than the damage lost from the pet. Lone … Continue Reading ››
