So last night, we one shot cleared right up to Anub in ToC 25, and then instead of helpfully yelling at us and breaking the floor so we could go and squish a bug, Arthas decided to hang out and take group pictures with us. This bug can be fixed- you need to soft reset [...]

Podcast Topics!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged ideas, podcast, reader feedback on November 26, 2009 | 16 Comments »
So we recorded our next show last night (late last night, /snore), and for the first time in a long time, we didn’t have an interview ready. We ended up spending the whole show talking about the finer points of some of the topics that have been bandied about lately, and I really think we [...]
A Mindset for Better DPS
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged dps, improvement, methodology, mind-set, pve, raiding on November 24, 2009 | 11 Comments »
The interview with Kripparrian in The Hunting Party Podcast #14 gave us plenty to think about. While the message that most focused on (that of stack your cooldowns) is important, I thought another of Kripparian’s comments also deserved its own post: that you need a mindset of self-improvement. In this post I will go over how [...]
Advanced Hunting of the Twin Val’kyr!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged disengage, dps, Hunter, orbs, pve, soaking, strategy, toc, trial of the crusader, Twin Val'kyr on November 23, 2009 | 22 Comments »
My last guide to the twins was effective, but is due for a bit of an overhaul. Mainly because it fails to address a very important hunter-specific strategy. Before I continue, go read it because I won’t be going over the basics of the fight, and will assume you know the mechanics already (in terms [...]
Mastering Isle of Conquest – Revisited
Posted in battlegrounds, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged battleground, bg, glaive thrower, hangar, IoC, isle of conquest, nodes, pvp, Resources, siege, turrets, vehicles on November 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Hey all, today we’re going to revisit Isle of Conquest guide, because my old guide was written the same week the BG came out, and I didn’t have as much info then as I do now. Let’s see what’s what now that I have a little more perspective.

Positioning is a big deal for anyone in arenas, but for hunters it is a particular problem. Today I’ll present all the information I can in a concise way on the topic of arena positioning. At the end, I will address all the hunter-specific considerations associated with the same.
An Obedient Pet: Pet Attack Macros!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged auto track, autocast, cower bug, macro, macros, pet management, pve, raiding, soloing on November 19, 2009 | 11 Comments »
In raids and dungeons a pet can have to avoid several things: “standing in fire”, the cower bug, generating threat, pulling adds. Why not avoid more than one of those things at the same time? I use pet attack macros for that, and cram them full of commands (well, so long as the macro remains [...]
Please Welcome Eidotrope!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged eidotrope, introduction, post on November 19, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Hi folks, I wanted to write a short introduction post: Eidotrope sent me a gear guide for pre-raid hunters recently, which you can check out here if you haven’t already. He was volunteered to keep it up to date, and the second I gave him access to the editor, he started writing up guides about [...]
Powerauras Setup Strings!

Garwulf at the Huntsman’s Lodge did a way better write up on a hunter powerauras setup than I ever could. In fact, I intend to switch over to his settings when I get home tonight, they’re so much prettier than mine.
Do You Auction in Stormwind?

If so, you should check out this tip I found at Hit The Cap, one of my new favorite places to read about warcraft auctioneering. You can use it to stand right next to the mailbox in stormwind and be able to use the AH without having to run in. Now I know that this [...]

Hi folks! This week, Darkbrew, Frostheim, and I have the distinct pleasure of interviewing Kripparrian, the hunter with the most DPS records. In case you’re wondering how that works, if you go to worldoflogs.com and look at hunter DPS or damage done benchmarks, it’s his name you’ll see there most often. Kripparian is a hunter [...]

Podcast Hosting Redux
Posted in Offtopic, tagged hosting, problems on November 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Hi folks, my file hosting provider, Dreamhost, has spazzed out on me and as such none of the podcast files are available now. They assure me they’re trying really hard to get it working again. In case you were wondering, this is indeed the same problem that has taken down Twisted Nether. Once the files [...]
The Hunting Party Podcast, Episode 13!

Hi folks! This week, we interview the guy your raid leader points to when you don’t succeed in your efforts to get out of the fire: Quadilious. He’s a hunter, he’s a quadriplegic, and he raids hard modes. How much more badarse can one get? As always, here is the iTunes store link, the Hunting [...]

What’s Cooking?
Posted in Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged cooldowns, faction change, gold sink, podcast, pvp, simulationcraft, smoking on November 11, 2009 | 10 Comments »
Off topic, disorganized thoughts: You know what I really want? To be able to purchase stuff from Blizzard that normally costs money for in game gold. I’d like to be able to faction/race/server transfer for gold instead of real money. Yes it would cost them a little money, but it would be an additional gold [...]

Alterac Valley is a complex battleground, but it’s also been out for a long time so I’m not going to spend time going over the basics. There are two basic ways to win this BG, and I’ll go over them today.
