Meta-Post!

Hi again! I wanted to share some news and updates, and request feedback. First, I added reviews to comments and posts. Click the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons to guide what I post, diss comment trolls, and reward good comments. Second, I’m looking for people to start a hunter community podcast. It will be [...]

Hi folks, today you’re going to get a primer on how a hit capped raiding hunter can rearrange the deck chairs on the titanic and get DPS increases on gear with hit while hit capped! I was in Dalaran admiring the new gear I paid through the nose for, and glanced down at my hit [...]

[Rip's editor's note: Jurgwena is back today to talk about Arena UIs. We're going to keep the ratio of PvE to PvP high, but this is exciting stuff for me! Anyways, left to my own devices today, you'd all have been stuck reading the type of nonsense I write when I can't think of any [...]

[Rip's editor's note: Hi folks, today's post is the first OutDPS hunter PvP post! Since I'm a mouth breathing, key turning, button mashing, terribad PvP hunter, I invited someone with a real arena rating to write about this. Put your hands together for Jurgwena! (And yes, that's his real personal rating on his 5v5 team)] [...]

[Edit: correction, it's Cclemon's guide on Matticus's addon blog.] Go check it out Plenty of good info there- I just set mine to the hunter defaults floating around the web and promptly forgot about it, but I’ve been thinking about trying to better figure out how it works so I can do stuff like create [...]

From Ahunkaluvin: “I’d like a guide to what the common mistakes are. For instance, I have pretty fair gear and have tried to put most of your lessons to practice, but somehow I still get nowhere near the DPS(about 1600-1800) of my fellow hunters. OK, So I suck, but, WHY? (other than just general suckiness)” [...]

I went over this a while ago, but I keep on seeing one of the most common questions all over the various forums I watch: what professions should a hunter take? The answer is deceptively complex.

Hey folks, I know, two blegs in a week. I am looking for someone who knows all aspects of Hunter PVP (arena, BGs/WG, dueling, etc) to guest write for OutDPS.com. All I do in PVP is keyturn, fail to find buttons I know are there, mouse click the wrong ones, and generally fail at twitching. [...]

I hate gearlists! Personally, I do the content my guild asks me to, and bid on anything I can use. I’ll bid on stuff I can’t use if it will prevent a cat druid from getting it, but that’s a subject for another post (stupid furballs with their stupidly unbalanced DPS!) That said, I’m going [...]

I’ve got a pretty comprehensive list of guides written over the last few months, but in the interest of keeping my content fresh, I’d like to open the lines up and take some requests. Anything you’d like to see here? Maybe a question you have, or something you discovered that was really useful to your [...]

Today I’m going to talk cookie cutter glyphs and specs for marksmanship hunters. That’s right, specs plural. There are a myriad of viable builds for marks, and I was rather overwhelmed when I made the switch.

[edit 25 Sept 2009: this was written before the last patch, and I have a new version that covers it after the update] I’m sure you’ve read that all the cool hunters are gemming for armor pen, and seeing good results from it. The best possible DPS thread over at elitist jerks shows a very [...]

Nassira’s post got me to thinking about silencing shot. Her point is that it should never be macroed, and always cast manually, and that the utility of the ability is more important to the raid than the DPS. I agree that its utility is good, but I still macro it to my shots. I just [...]

Today I’ll be going over General Vezax. This fight is easy for most appropriately geared raid groups, and aside from one twisted mechanic, is basically a low risk tank and spank.

I can’t wear half the new cool stuff I paid good DKP for because my hit is too high. I know, I know. I should have rolled something other than a space goat. Curse the Draenei starting area and how much better it is than all the other ones! I’ll have a nice juicy typically [...]

Today we’ll be going over the Mimiron fight: how to DPS it, and how to keep your pet alive through it. This guy is one of the easier bosses. He has a long enrage timer, and the only way you’ll hit it (or wipe) is if people “stand in fires”. Here’s the hard part- this [...]

Wow.com broke this story, but the reason I’m posting is the screenshot. Is that a beast master hunter pet I see there? Indeed, it’s a devilsaur!  What does this top 10, now EU first achievement bearing guild know that I don’t? Edit: yep, Shaylee was BM during this fight.
