Thanks to Matticus for the lead: looks like wow’s European site posted a bunch of information about the new Icecrown raid 5 man- quoted below in case this goes down:

According to MMO-Champion, Abyssal Shatter is live on EU realms, and presumably will be live soon on US realms. Abyssal shatter lets you break an abyss crystal into some more pedestrian mats: infinite dust and greater cosmic essences. This means that the price for abyss crystals might start raising again, after the ridiculous drop they [...]

This week on the Hunting Party Podcast, Darkbrew and I talk to Jurgwena, the PvP writer for OutDPS! If you are a PvE hunter and are looking into the idea of starting some PvP, this is the show for you. You will find that many of the questions we ask are from a perspective of [...]

Pike, over at Aspect of the Hare, has put together an excellent post that goes over the state of beast master hunters in raids now, and gives some helpful spec advice!

I’ve had a chance to burn through the Faction Champions fight on 25 man normal mode a few more times, and it’s time for me to redo the guide. First, a bit of background. Faction Champions is a fight against a large group of mini-bosses, the composition of which changes for every instance ID. An [...]

My wife/accountant lowered the boom on me. This site and podcast are an expensive hobby. Now, it’s less expensive than a poker night (I’m really really bad at poker), and I keep costs light by sticking with the dumbed down hosted version of wordpress. The podcast, however, came with one large upfront cost (a half [...]

Hi folks! I noticed that about half the people who dropped by yesterday to listen to the Munken interview seemed to click on the single out of date guide I had linked on the right hand guides section. Murphy, his law, and the horse they rode in on can go fly a kite. That said, [...]

This is a short meta-post. In the process of editing outdps for the better part of the year, I have developed quite an excellent list of sites I keep up with. I have created a category called “spotlight” I will start to use to highlight interesting articles from other sites. These will never be in [...]

Phyllixia from the Hunters Rhok blog (and they do!) has finished her 5 part series on how to manage and control pets. An excellent read- even for level 80 raiding hunters :) While you’re there, add the RSS feed to your reader.

Cower Bug!

I am looking for some quick, barely scientific poll data about the cower bug. Adam Holisky, at the venerable wow.com, reports seeing it with his crab. I had heard that it was only a problem for cats. The way that I understand this bug is that once you summon your pet, every time you enter [...]

This week on The Hunting Party Podcast, we had the great pleasure of interviewing Munken, hunter extraordinaire from Ensidia! For those of you who may not know, Ensidia is a premier sponsored guild (formerly known as SK-Gaming) who has many world firsts under their belt. Munken is often the camera man for their excellent publicized [...]

Whew!

4 posts yesterday. Unless Faeghleis finishes with post production on the Munken interview today, I’m taking the day off to nurse my sore head.

Onyxia is a specially re-released encounter to celebrate WOW’s 5th anniversary. Today, I’ll go over the basic strategy for the fight from a hunter’s perspective. The fight has 3 phases:

At this point, it looks like that despite what the patch notes say, the two piece tier 9 bonus is still not critting like a physical attack. [edit: thanks Frost!] It does work with mortal shots, however. Update for sep 24th: They did something last night- everything is now working properly. Serpent sting is now [...]

Source: Ghostcrawler mentioned that the attack power coefficient for volley has been raised. This skill had, before a patch a few months ago, been ridiculously overpowered. For raids where mana was not in short supply, the largest single target DPS you could get was volley. The nerf brought overall volley DPS down by 30%. Since [...]

Hey everyone, today I’m going to write a short post about enchanting your gear for PvP. It’s not as straightforward as you might think. What enchants you use obviously depend on your professions, to some extent, but hunters actually have a lot of flexibility and it’s important to know what you’re doing.

Patch 3.2.2 will bring about the ability to shatter abyss crystals. This is very probably in response to the massive decline in prices that crystals went through once people realized that a good 5 man group could run regular ToC and reset it as many times a day as they want, disenchanting all the purples [...]
