Survival and Beast Mastery hotfix buffs compared

Last night, after a month of patch 6.2, Blizzard finally threw some table scraps at poor old Survival hunters. Of course we told them how broken it was time and time again on the PTR, but I guess these buffs are better late than never. Beast Mastery also received a smaller buff, which is more beneficial … Continue Reading ››

This week, former host Arth pops in to say hello and he brings with him all the technical woes of the HPP’s previous incarnation.

Patch 6.2 PTR: Tranquilizing Shot, armor and weapons, and set bonus updates

It's been a fairly uneventful PTR since my last post about patch 6.2, at least for hunters. I'm starting to get a bit worried that Survival still has no compensation for its significant DPS nerf. Surely something is still on its way because this is how things are looking as of today: Beast Mastery is … Continue Reading ››
