What would you like to see for Hunter raid utility?

Update: The raid utility has been announced. See here for details. In the latest alpha patch notes, Blizzard stated they are currently working on adding a new "minor raid utility" ability for hunters in Warlords of Draenor. When asked on twitter, Celestalon replied that they are still open to suggestions.

Hunter updates from the official Warlords alpha patch notes

Blizzard just updated the Warlords of Draenor alpha patch notes. We already learned about most of this yesterday from the datamining, but the notes explain how they want each spec to have their own unique DPS cooldown. They also confirmed that Bear Trap will be affected by the Continue Reading ››

More fancy new ranged weapons from the Warlords alpha

Wowhead just posted a bunch of new weapon models and there are some impressive hunter weapons in here. Most impressive of all (IMO) is the Challenge Mode transmog reward gun in the header image. There's going to be a bow too, but it's not in the game yet. But wait until you see … Continue Reading ››

They've been dubbed "class accessories" and it sounds like they are going to be placed in a new cosmetic-only gear slot. Paladins will have librams, Shaman will … Continue Reading ››

Blizzard is OK with some talents not working with Lone Wolf, more hints at a raid cooldown

We talked a little bit about this earlier when Celestalon mentioned that Master's Call and Spirit Bond would not work if a survival or marksmanship hunter chose the Lone Wolf talent. Yesterday, he talked a little more about this subject. In short, Blizzard is OK with some talents … Continue Reading ››

Bear Trap will be a Survival DPS cooldown

A couple weeks ago, Celestalon tweeted that survival hunters were getting a new ability called Bear Trap. I speculated it might be a DPS cooldown since survival was sorely lacking in that department, and it looks like it will be. Beast mastery has Bestial Wrath, marksmanship has Rapid Fire, and … Continue Reading ››

More Lone Wolf details, Kill Shot being improved

One of the questions I always had about Lone Wolf is whether or not you'd actually be sacrificing anything by taking it. The damage from your pet is replaced, but you don't have to worry about your pet derping, so that damage is probably even greater than the damage lost from the pet. Lone … Continue Reading ››
