Reforging 2.0: Consumables and Enchants

Update Aug 13: Blizzard has removed secondary stats from Flasks, and reduced the amount from enchants and food. The point of my original post is kind of moot, but I'll leave it up anyway. You can still customize your secondary stats, just not to the high degree you could earlier in beta. I have a love-hate … Continue Reading ››

I am become death, the destroyer of worlds

We officially have our first bugged beta pet. These baby riverbeasts are cute when they are at the appropriate size... but this... I never asked for this.

WoD Beta: Adventures in Gorgrond gallery

I recently leveled from 92-94 in Gorgrond, and I really enjoyed this zone. The mix of lush jungle and desolate badlands makes it interesting because the scenery is always changing. It feels like there's multiple zones in just one. There's lots of little nooks and crannies to explore, mountains to climb, and big trophy mobs … Continue Reading ››

WoD Beta 18566: The new Chimaera Shot (and more!)

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 ››

WoD Beta: Improvements to Lock and Load and Chimera Shot on the way

Celestalon has been tweeting more about hunters, and we have some good news for both survival and marksmanship to talk about. None of these changes are in the build (or patch notes) yet, but they should hopefully make it in soon so we can test them.
Lock and Load
We'll start with the survival changes. One is … Continue Reading ››

WoD Beta: Missing the Mark

Editor's Note: If there's one thing most hunters will agree with on the Warlords beta, it's that marksmanship and survival are simply missing "something" in their current state. I thought Jademcian articulated the reason for this better than I ever could, so I asked him to do a guest post for the site. … Continue Reading ››

More changes to T17 Hunter set bonuses

Beta build 18537 went up and with it comes the third round of changes to hunter tier 17 set bonuses. There's some real cool stuff here, but knowing how often these have changed so far, don't get too attached. Although I'm sort of already attached to this new BM one...

WoD Beta: Lone Wolf and Adaptation talent previews

This is second in a series of posts about the new level 100 hunter talents as they currently exist on beta. The first post was all about Exotic Munitions. Today, it's about Lone Wolf and Adaptation. This talent changes based on your current spec: Lone Wolf for marksmanship … Continue Reading ››

WoD Beta: Exotic Munitions preview

Today we're taking a closer look at the newest of the level 100 hunter talents in Warlords of Draenor, Exotic Munitions. This is a passive talent that modifies your Auto Shots in 3 different ways. Only one of these munition types can be active at a time.

There’s still some hope for a Survival cooldown

Ask any hunter who has played on beta, and they'll probably tell you that survival feels a little empty without any baseline cooldowns or executes. We know Blizzard wants to push for survival to be the multidot/sustained damage spec, but many hunters feel it's gone a bit too far. The good news is, it sounds … Continue Reading ››
