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 ››

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 ››

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 ››

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: 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 ››

Legion Hunter Preview: First impressions and feedback

43 Comments
Remember during Warlords of Draenor's development when Blizzard was talking  about "spec differentiation?" It almost became a buzz phrase. They sort of delivered, but not in a way that mattered much. At their core, the 3 Hunter specs were still the same. We had a Focus generator, a Focus dump, and a signature ability. The "differentiation" … Continue Reading ››

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.

Legion: New Hunter roles confirmed

56 Comments
I speculated on this yesterday, but it looks like we have the official word via a developer interview at Icy Veins.
  • Survival: Melee spec that utilizes a pet
  • Beast Mastery: Ranged spec that utilizes a pet
  • Marksmanship: Ranged spec that has NO pet
This means the Lone Wolf talent should be no more. Blizzard is fully … Continue Reading ››
