Have you been on the 6.0 PTR yet to test the hunter changes? If you weren't in beta, I'd highly recommend it! You can test out most of the new hunter stuff except the level 100 talents. The new pet families are tameable except for Riverbeasts and Rylaks which only exist in Draenor. One of … Continue Reading ››

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. Number tuning is still in progress, but this will give you a good idea of how things are shaping … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Toucans! (aka Axebeaks)

4 Comments
Don't ask me how the physics work here or how those tiny wings can support such a front-heavy bodyweight which is apparently 90% beak, 10% feathers. Let's just hope your group or raid needs a versatility buff at some point so you have more excuses to use these adorable freaks of nature. Toucans (officially called Axebeaks, … Continue Reading ››

404 Comments
A couple of nights ago, a bunch of hunters banded together on Twitter and the Petopia forums to try to solve the Gara mystery on the beta. Those I recognized from the forums or Twitter were right beside me in game trying to figure out the same problems, coming up with … Continue Reading ››

Last week was pretty busy for me, both inside and outside of WoW. Let's hope this one is a little less hectic. I wouldn't mind enjoying the last shreds of summer while there's still time. I just wanted to update you all on a few bits of news from the hunter community.

Pet of the Week: Talador Ridge Prowlers

This week's pet of the week is a bit late because my big video preview on the new pet families was posted in its place. Now we'll get back to looking at individual hunter pets found in Draenor. Even though you can't tame these yet, you'll be able to look back on previous pets of … Continue Reading ››

Hunter Patch Notes Update: Black Arrow dispel protection, talent changes

10 Comments
The official patch notes just received an update. Lots of hunter changes to report. Some of it we already know from the previous build, but there's a few new bits in here.  If the tooltips don't make sense, it's because some of these changes are not in the build yet.

Seriously? Changes on the way for talents and Lock and Load

23 Comments
I could have changed a few things in the large feedback post I published just a couple of hours ago if I would have known this was coming, but Celestalon and his impeccable timing posted this update for hunters about an hour afterwards. Thanks, Celestalon! At least my post wasn't all for naught. … Continue Reading ››

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 ››
