Well, the original has changed enough that it’s time for a redo of my guide to the DPS spreadsheet (download link). New screenshots, new features, more awesomeness!

Tonight my guild ventures into what will be my second Ulduar 25 week with them. I got one good week in, and then we took one off for holiday. Silly Americans. I’m looking forward to the second half of the place. I already know Ignis, Razorscale, XT, and Kologarn well enough to write guides to [...]

I kinda miss 5 man dungeons. As it is, once you’ve cleared any WotLK 10 or 25 man content a few times, there’s not much left for you outside of those raid instances. My favorite part of 5 mans was probably the fact that there was often more story to it than just a few [...]

To do list!

See what happens if I disengage at the top of a whirlwind from Ignis’s trash Write a little addon that will keep a high water mark for my hunter hangtime (doesn’t count if I die when I land) Attempt to fix poll data so Alex Z from wowinsider (wow.com now) has to level a gnome [...]

Well, I characteristically put my foot in my mouth again. I saw a fair bit of traffic from some site called “wow.com“, checked it out, and behold, someone had copied wowinsider.com right down to the comments! Well! That’s copyright infringement if I ever saw it… let’s just send a quick note to the wowinsider editors [...]

Seattle servers appear to have gone down again :( I suppose this time since it’s 7:20 AM server time I’ll forgive them, but they’d better be up for my raid tonight!

What!? The developers believe hunter dps is too low, so today we are implementing a change to ranged weapon damage to improve dps across the board. [And arms warrior can bite me*] -Ghostcrawler *edited for clarity Well, I won’t delete my character and roll a rogue, but come on!

We were one trash pull into the end of our Ulduar 25 run, when the servers crashed. Apparently Seattle fell into the sea… Anyways, I have much more in the works now for my hunting Ulduar guides, however I don’t feel I’ve mastered the encounters to the point where I would not have to come [...]

Next up in my series on how to Ulduar as a hunter (and yes, I’m using Ulduar as a verb- this is now a thing), Kologarn! He’s a push-over. In fact, we curb-stomped him the first time I ran him 25 man. Then ran roughshod over him. Okay, I’ll stop with the terrible puns.

I changed guilds. I went from a small guild of close friends that schedules 10 mans and pugs 25 mans to a big guild that schedules 25 mans and “off-nights” 10-mans . It was a hard decision to make. I really like my old guild. Pros: No arms warriors I get 25 man T8 gear These [...]

Marco from Just My Two Coppers started a forum where people can get together and discuss “AH raiding and PVP”. Go take a visit, if that’s what blows your hair back :)

I was reading this thread on elitist jerks, and it looks like at high levels of T8 Ulduar gear, marksman hunters can produce more DPS (modeled) than survival hunters. From the first post: Best MM Template: Total DPS: 7741,32 Hunter DPS: 6636,55 Pet DPS: 1104,77 AP: 8010 Crit: 57,37% Hit: 100% ArP: 282 Shot Queue: [...]

So I figured I’d send you all to this link instead. Made me smile :) http://failblog.org/2009/05/12/fill-up-fail/

Third in my series of Ulduar fights from a hunter’s perspective is XT-002 Deconstructor. First off, unless you really absolutely need sound on this fight, turn it off. You’ll thank me later. Blizzard decided to make this fight more about being able to take the horrible voice they gave this boss than the mechanics themselves. [...]

Continuing my series on Ulduar encounters from a hunter’s perspective, Razorscale. Much nerfed recently, the Razorscale encounter is still lots of fun, and a challenge if you’re undergeared. My guild got her to 2% health when we inadvertently 9 manned her (forgot to summon someone), and the tank had forgotten to take off some non-tanking [...]

I’m going to start writing Ulduar fight guides from a hunter perspective. First up- Ignis. Oh man, I hate his trash. It’s more challenging than the boss itself. First up, you have two fire elementals that will give the raid flame herpes. The only way to get rid of this is to run to the [...]
