When to Use What Potion!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged consumable, crit, haste, heroism, potion, potions, speed on October 29, 2009 | 24 Comments »
As a DPS class, it’s our duty to ensure that our potion is on cooldown at the end of every non-trivial fight. Clearing Archivon for the mount? Feel free to save it, but if you’re on a hard fight, you can really increase your DPS this way. Today I’ll go over our options, and talk [...]
Podcast Hosting Issues Solved (again)!

My last solution didn’t end up working, but I ended up being able to piggyback my files over on Matticus‘s server in exchange for a pint a month. Thank you Matticus! Anyways, I’ll be moving the podcasts there one by one. You shouldn’t see any interruptions, or any more random flaking out.
Simulationcraft!

I’m in the process of learning how to use simulationcraft. This is an incredibly powerful tool that lets you test and simulate situations in WOW. In my case, I plan on using it to try to figure out a “best practices” for cooldown use, as well as test some wisdom we’ve been using for a [...]
Download Issues!

Hey WordPress, I want my money back! I have been getting reports that the newest episode is not completing downloads. This is because the wordpress content delivery network (which charges me a fee to allow me to distribute sound files) is a complete failure. I’ve taken steps to move the files to another hosting solution, [...]
Darkbrew’s Guide to Deadly Boss Mods!

I saw Darkbrew, of The Brew Hall and our podcast, wrote a nice primer on Deadly Boss Mods. I’m going to go and link it in yesterday’s raiding 101 post, but go and take a look. Many people have this installed and use it already, but this is an excellent guide for people who are [...]

Cooldown, Buffs, and Debuffs Tracking Addons- Reader Feedback!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged addons, buffs, debuffs, hunter hearth wisdom, reader feedback on October 21, 2009 | 21 Comments »
Thanks to everyone who shared their wisdom about cooldown timing yesterday- I’m going to do some simulations and try to determine what will give us the most DPS. Today, I’d like to solicit some more hunter hearth wisdom about addons and configurations. Most of us have an addon that we use to track procs, cooldowns, [...]
Cooldown Timing- Reader Feedback!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged cooldown, reader feedback, timing cooldowns on October 20, 2009 | 21 Comments »
Hi folks, I’m preparing a post on cooldown timing, but I need some reader feedback. I know what I do, I know what I should do, but I need to know what other hunters do. Can you please leave a comment here telling me how you use your cooldowns? Do you macro them all so [...]

So I got a new weapon recently, and I’m sure by now most of you have managed to pick up something from ToC that’s giving you good mileage, which means it’s time to look at marksmanship! Of course, a lot of you PvE as marks. MM is by far the most fun spec to play [...]
Hunter Pets to Level Faster!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged leveling, patch 3.3, pets, PTR on October 16, 2009 | 4 Comments »
MMO-Champion mentions that in the next patch, the amount of experience needed to level a pet will be halved. Leveling pets is the one part of hunters I do not like. It’s more than made up for by the rest of the awesomeness that is being a hunter, but it’s grind-ey, monotonous, unrewarding, and a [...]
