The end of beta, BlizzCon predictions, and the Warlords strategy guide

18 Comments
Well, the beta is finally shut down after almost exactly 5 months of testing (including the alpha). I first got in on June 17th, and at the time the alpha was still limited to Horde characters in the Frostfire Ridge zone only (up to level 92). This was a couple of weeks after the alpha … Continue Reading ››

More number tuning for hunters, and it seems pretty reasonable

13 Comments
Blizzard just posted some new class tuning hotfixes which should go live soon. Even though most of this is nerfs, I have to say these are reasonable changes based on where we stood after the last round of buffs we received. Combined with the changes to other classes, we were doing quite well at level … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Saddled Clefthooves

3 Comments
I delayed in posting about these pets because I honestly thought there was a possibility they'd get nerfed (made untameable). After all, I've been disappointed before when I find a pet I love in beta, only for it to be made untameable. For a while, the only saddled clefthoof which was tameable was Giantbane and I … Continue Reading ››

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.

Last night we had an epic level 1 dwarf hunter WHU raid on Icecrown-US to celebrate the return of the Hunting Party Podcast. About 80 hunters showed up in Dun Morogh! Then we raided Hogger, the Gurubashi Arena, and finally Orgrimmar. It was a blast and I can't wait for future WHU hunter events. 🙂 This morning we … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Teroclaws

4 Comments
Teroclaws are a new type of hunter pet found in Talador and I believe it's the first type of hunter pet that has both flying and grounded variants. They have been added to the Carrion Bird family, though many of us were hoping the grounded ones would have made it into the Raptor family. These are some … Continue Reading ››

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

WoD Beta 18888: Tier 17 set bonus testing, Dire Beast and Survival nerfs

13 Comments
Updated to include a new Black Arrow nerf from Sept. 23 build. Survival got some small nerfs in this build. I'm kind of perplexed by this since it was already doing less damage than BM and MM. Maybe the accompanying MM/BM changes will be in the next build? I really don't understand what's going on. As … Continue Reading ››
