This encounter is the glock-block encounter designed to test your guilds’ hunters’ kiting skills, as well as your healers and tanks and everything else. Doing this fight feels like rolling a boulder up a ski jump- that last 3% takes more work than the first 20%. Haven’t kited in a while? Read on for the [...]

A Case for Min-Maxing DPS
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged dps, opinion, optimizing dps on December 28, 2009 | 11 Comments »
This is an opinion piece and is not an official OutDPS! position. Are we obligated to do min-maxed dps? We may want to for any number of reasons, but is there also a moral impetus?
The Hunting Party Podcast, Episode 18!
Posted in Hunter, Hunting Party Podcast, World of Warcraft, tagged AH, ammo, frost's story corner, guns, Hunting Party Podcast, pve, scam on December 24, 2009 | 8 Comments »
This week, Frostheim and Darkbrew talk about a variety of subjects, including BM blue posts, AH ammo scams, guns, a couple of reader emails, and my new favorite feature of the week, Frost’s Story Corner! I was MIA with a sick baby. Too bad- this sounds like it was fun :\ As always, here is [...]
Blue Post Christmas List!
Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Marksmanship, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged blue posts, bm, buff, dps, mm, nerf, pets, sv, wolves on December 22, 2009 | 17 Comments »
Bah Humbug. Bornakk says: The spirit beasts are not the real issue from our perspective. We this spirit beasts are doing fine and we don’t want them to be the only choice for BM hunters since speccing BM should give a player more choices for pets (ideally) and not less. The problem mainly lies with [...]
WOW 2009 in Review

I’ve been tagged. I’ve never been tagged for one of these blog memes before :)
Ammo! One for the Price of Ten!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged addons, AH, ah addons, ammo, arrows, auction house, bullets, hunters, scam on December 21, 2009 | 28 Comments »
There’s a common practice (often highlighted over at the greedy goblin) where people will make money off distracted (or rushed or just plain stupid) hunters by selling stacks of 100 ammo for only slightly less than the price of 1000. Depending on whether you use an auction addon or not, these stacks may even be [...]
How To Use The New Cower!
Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Marksmanship, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged awesome, cower, macro, mend pet, patch 3.3, pet, pve, pvp, raiding on December 16, 2009 | 12 Comments »
This patch contained a lot of awesome. One of the smaller awesomes, however, was that our pets gained some new functionality from cower and lost the old functionality. Today we’re going to go over the changes, as well as some potential use cases.
Call Stabled Pet Bug Fix!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged arena, bug, call stabled pet, cooldown, hard reset, patch 3.3 on December 15, 2009 | 18 Comments »
After reading Xanther’s post about this, I remembered I had heard of a fix to this new call stabled pet bug (thanks to Bierzun in my guild for pointing this out to me). The gist of the bug is that when you use call stabled pet, the cooldown is set to 25 days instead of [...]
How much would I have to pay to get this kind of connection at home?
Icecrown Tips For Hunters!
Posted in Hunter, Marksmanship, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged Deathbringer Saurfang, Gunship Battle, ICC, icecrown citadel, Lady Deathwhisper, Lord Marrowgar, Marksmanship, mm, patch 3.3, pve, raiding, Survival, sv on December 14, 2009 | 38 Comments »
I am preparing a couple of proper guides for the new ICC encounters, but in the meantime I am going to share some of the wisdom I’ve absorbed learning these with my guild:
Pre-Raid Hunter Gear Guide – Updated For 3.3
Posted in World of Warcraft, Hunter, tagged gear, gear list, hunter pre-raid gear guide on December 11, 2009 | 50 Comments »
Edit: As of Dec. 7, 2010, this guide is thoroughly out of date. How do you get gear that is fit for raiding if you are not already raiding? These days the answer is not simply “run heroics for drops.” The answer is a bit more complicated, and so I decided to write this guide.
Is Deathbringer’s Will Hunter Loot?
Posted in Hunter, Spotlight, World of Warcraft, tagged agi, ap, arp, crit, deathbringer's will, hunter loot, loot council, pve, raiding, rilgon on December 11, 2009 | 23 Comments »
Rilgon says so. His argument is that basically there are no hunters that won’t gain the full benefit of every single type of proc we’re eligible for (which is agi, crit, or AP), and there are other classes that could become ArP capped or crit capped. Go read his post- the whole story is more [...]
The New Misdirect!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged dps, marrowgar, MD, misdirect, misdirection, patch 3.3, pve, raiding, tanking, threat, threat reset on December 11, 2009 | 17 Comments »
I’m not kidding when I say that the new misdirect is probably one of my favorite changes in patch 3.3. Every time a tank says “holy mackerel- I had 20k threat on that boss”, I smirk. It’s a win win. For the cost of a GCD (the first one is free), you help keep your [...]
Boss Tactics Addon!
Posted in addons, Resources, World of Warcraft, tagged addons, boss tactics, pve, raid leading, raiding, strategy on December 10, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Welcome the the latest installment of Musings on Mods! Today, we’re going to talk about the Boss Tactics addon. Boss Tactics is an a phenomenal tool to make your raid run more smoothly. What it does is allows synchronized graphical walk through of boss encounters. “Huh” I hear you ask? Boss Tactics let’s you and [...]
Culling The Herd!
Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Marksmanship, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged crits, culling the herd, dps, focus, go for the throat, pve, raiding, uptime on December 10, 2009 | 4 Comments »
As you guys probably know, we have a new pet talent replacing avoidance. Now that a 90% AOE reduction is baked into pets, culling the herd was replaced in the talent tree exactly where avoidance was. It provides a 3% damage done boose to you and your pet every time it procs, and procs from [...]
