Latest round of number tuning un-nerfs Survival

9 Comments
It's nice to have a beta build that isn't all nerfs! WoD Beta build 18967 went up last night and had a few hunter number changes. Both BM and SV got a little bump, which was sorely needed. In Survival's case, it was more of an un-nerfing.

WoD Beta 18927: Set Bonuses, Teroclaws, and the big taming pass

13 Comments
The most recent beta build is light on the class changes, but heavy on the pet changes! Ever since alpha/beta started, there have been a large number of pets that should have been tameable but were not. Most of those, but not all, have been fixed this build! Tier 17 Set Bonus Adjustments

Thoughts on the current state of hunter talents in Warlords of Draenor

I've been playing around with hunter talents lately to see how things are shaping up for each spec. Before I get started, keep in mind that this information is only up to date as of today.

Another expansion of BM? The state of the hunter in Warlords

14 Comments
There's a problem with survival and marksmanship on the beta right now: no one seems to be happy with the two specs. I know that may sound a little hyperbolic, but I've looked for positive feedback all over the place -- blogs, twitter, forums, even in game -- and I struggle to find any. Beast mastery … Continue Reading ››

WoD Beta 18738: First pass at hunter number tuning

18 Comments
The first round of beta number tuning is in. Beast mastery is nerfed, survival is buffed, and marksmanship is sort of buffed. There's very little else going on hunter-wise. No new abilities, mechanics, glyphs, pet changes, or anything else I can see. 😕 I was kind of hoping for more. I really don't like the … Continue Reading ››

WoD Beta 18689: Perks on the chopping block

7 Comments
The Draenor perk system has been changed to only grant 4 perks on your way from 90-100 (down from 9 perks). Most of the damage boosting perks have been baked into their respective spells, but some perks have been removed outright. I'm not sure why this was done to be honest. After leveling a lot on … Continue Reading ››

The amazing header image for this post was created by Draven aka SpiritBinder of WarcraftMounts.com. Unfortunately, Chimaera Shot doesn't look quite that cool in the game! Another build, another round of hunter changes. The biggest is the newly updated Chimaera Shot (formerly Chimera Shot), but there are also some new perks, some … Continue Reading ››
