I’ve gone and updated my 3.1 guides to be accurate for 3.2. As always, the links are on the right, but here’s the list of updated posts. Go ahead and peruse them, and if you notice anything wrong, comment or contact. Survival rotation Survival macros Wolf pet build Survival spec and glyphs (updated 8 Sep, [...]

I posted the podcast and a guide yesterday, so I figure I deserve a hunter break. Instead of a link to the fail blog (oops), I figured I would write the next installment in my series about how to fund your raiding habit.

This encounter is incredibly easy. Both bosses hit like holy priests, and if you can clear to Yogg in Ulduar, you can faceroll one shot them. The Twin Val’kyr are the last intended challenge in the Trial of the Crusader raid (of course there is another one being released next week).

Podcast Tomorrow!

We recorded the newest episode, but it’s still in the dryer. If you need a fix, go check out the new Hunting Lodge podcast or Rilgon’s podcast.

5v5 has always been the hunter’s strongest bracket. We’ve never had enough support abilities to really shine in 3v3, and always lacked the burst to dominate 2v2, but in 5v5 playing a hunter feels just right. I really live for the moments when my 5v5 gets to queue. If you are lucky enough to find [...]

This guy is a pushover if you can clear Ulduar, and is fairly straightforward even if you can’t. Lord Jaraxxus is the second encounter- you’ll fight him right after the Northrend Beasts. On paper, the fight itself looks like it has a lot going on. Luckily, as hunters, we have a very simple job to [...]

I hate macs. I’m trying to record the podcast on Mrs. DPS’s new macbook (because my desktop’s terrible integrated soundcard introduces buzz and has horribly low mic gain), however it doesn’t allow you to just plug and play a standard mic, you need a mixer or a mic that can do “line out”. Long story [...]

Sometime early in s6, hunters looked at the talent hunter vs. wild and thought to themselves, what if I gemmed and enchanted completely for stamina? The desire to make a gimmicky kind of build work is understandable given how successful, in WOTLK alone, stuff like shadowfrost DKs (a phenomenon that appears to be making a [...]

According to the class Q&A on wow.com: They’re replacing mana with energy, like rogues. We’ll have a maximum of 100 focus, and it will regenerate 6/sec (a little slower than rogues’ 10 energy/sec), or a little faster (12/sec) if we use steady shot. No more mana regen, aspect of the viper, or int needed. There [...]

Quick note about those rumors I mentioned on the last podcast. If you arrived here from the Buff’d story, please don’t forget to buff this if you like it :) Some features mentioned in the trailer just showed at Blizzcon, some of which were not rumored: Guild leveling system and achievements: up to 20 levels.

‘Sup folks! Today we’re going to discuss the popular hunter team compositions. Disclaimer: There are a ton of comps that qualify as “viable,” even for a statistically weak class like hunter, but you need to be with competent players. I don’t even have experience with most of the comps I see hunters 2.7k+ with, and [...]

[Edit sep 28, 2009: there is an updated strategy here] The Faction Champions encounter is the third in the trial of the crusader. Unfortunately, at this time, there are no general wowhead (or whatever) guides I can refer you to for further reading, however since we two shot made short work of this last night, [...]

“OK, I got aimed shot… What next?” Hi guys, today we’re going to talk about speccing a hunter for arenas. I will concern myself mostly with 3v3 and 5v5, I will deal with both marks and surv but not beast mastery, and I will address pet talent trees at the end.

This is my first hard mode guide. Last night, I was invited to raid Ulduar 10 with the clique after we had to cancel the 25 due to an unfortunate coincidence of real life stun-locked healers. We can raid if we have to sub in DPS or tanks, but offspec healers won’t cut it. The [...]

You’ll note that the audio is not as fail as the first episode- I told you we’d get better! In actuality, an intrepid listener/reader who happens to be a sound engineer by day stepped up and offered to show us how it’s done. If you ever need a sound engineer, let me know and I’ll [...]

Blizzcon!

If any of you lucky ducks will find yourself at Blizzcon this year, take a look at the Twisted Nether meetup- they’re good people, and it should be well attended. It’s Thursday Friday night, as I understand it, being held at the same venue as the wow.com meetup.
