Eidotrope’s Extreme Soloing Basics

What is extreme soloing? It is soloing game content that was originally not meant to be done by one player, such as older instances and older raids. Typically, this content is challenging, otherwise it isn’t extreme. I realize that “extreme soloing” isn’t the coolest name for the activity, but it is the name already in use and I see [...]
The Real Problem is Gold Buyers!
Posted in economics, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged buy wow gold, cheaters, farmers, gold, gold farmers, gold sellers, gold selling, hackers, rant, wow gold on April 29, 2010 | 47 Comments »
Gold buyers are cheaters. Nothing infuriates me more than seeing someone cheating to avoid work I’ve been doing. It gives me that feeling you get when someone blatantly cuts in line in real life. When I tell people that I play the AH, I get incredulous stares and hear things like “Who needs gold?” and [...]
How to Link with Femaledwarf.com!

Hi folks! I’m sure you’re all huge fans of Zeherah‘s Femaledwarf.com site, so I figured I’d post a quick guide for those who don’t like to read FAQs on how to link your output. This is very handy for people asking for help on forums or blogs, as well as just chewing ideas over with [...]
ICC Buff and Cataclysm Token Preview!
Posted in World of Warcraft, tagged cataclysm, ICC, news, pve, raiding, zone wide buff on April 27, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Oh god, so much news! First off, relevant now, MMO-C tells us that the ICC zone buff was extended again. 11 wasn’t enough louder than 10, evidently. Hear that? That’s the sound of progression without any change in skill or gear! Next up, it looks like there’s been a preview of the way progression tokens [...]
Huge Cataclysm Raiding Announcement!
Posted in Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged 10 man, 25 man, announcement, blue post, cataclysm, lockout, pve, raiding on April 26, 2010 | 35 Comments »
This will definitively end the drama between 10 and 25 man raiding: in Cataclysm, Blizzard will be making you choose between 10s and 25s. The gear reward quality will be the same, but to compensate guilds that are able to organize two and a half times the people, there will be more drops per raider. [...]
Communication In Battlegrounds!
Posted in battlegrounds, Hunter, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged battleground, communication, pvp on April 23, 2010 | 12 Comments »
Put 15 random people into a group, add a dose of epeen, a dash of afk, and a dollop of cluelessness, and you have your typical battleground group. At any given time, there will be a couple people in low quality (or high quality PvE) gear trying to figure out what the rules are, a [...]
Hunter PvP for PvEtards!
Posted in battlegrounds, Hunter, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged arena points, battlegrounds, bgs, honor, Hunter, pvetard, pvp on April 19, 2010 | 26 Comments »
I’ll admit it, I’m a PvEtard. I don’t stand in fire and I don’t pull agro, but I sure as heck forget where I have master’s call bound and blow my trinket at the wrong time. That said, I’ve been having moderate success the last week in battlegrounds PvP, and thought I’d share some lessons [...]
Best Hunter Guild Application Ever!
Posted in Hunter, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged application, awesome, epic in every sense of the word, equipping a pet, guild, Hunter, my profession is camp councilor, video on April 16, 2010 | 14 Comments »
This was brought to my attention- I strongly advocate all hunters apply to their prospective guilds this way.

editor’s note: Please put your hands together again for the newest OutDPS writer, Shadowstreak! You might know of him as the artist for the Frostheim Goggles comic, over at WHU. If not, go check it out- it’s some funny stuff! There are a few different DoT/Proc timing mods available. They all have their own different [...]
Hasty Conclusions about Cataclysm Hunter Mechanics
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged cataclysm, clipping, damage over time, dots, focus, focus regen, haste, hasted dots, Hunter, hunters, pve, shot rotation, ticks on April 12, 2010 | 23 Comments »
Editors Note: Another big hand for Pherra, the guy who is thanklessly coding that stupid hunter DPS addon idea. Blizzard’s announced design changes give the hunter community a lot to absorb in the months leading up to Cataclysm. The biggest change was the “ranged rogue” change from mana to focus that was announced at Blizzcon. [...]

What I Love About Cataclysm Hunters!

I’m a fairly laid back hunter blogger, and as such, I tend to see things through a rose-colored monocle. It was not needed today- the Cataclysm hunter changes were 100% good ones, in my opinion. I’ll complain if I feel the results need tweaking, but as all we’re seeing now is a design philosophy, I [...]

Nethaera posted the hunter changes. Reposting now, analysis and follow up quotes will be edited in at the end. Of course this would happen while I was at lunch. I called it. With the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm many game elements will be changing, and each class will be receiving a number of tweaks. [...]

There I was, sitting on the train, planning out today’s post. Well, I was actually zoning out listening to Muse. But while doing that, I had the most awesome idea for a post! Unfortunately, having no notepad available, I decided to forgo touch-typing it into my iPod. FAIL! I totally forgot what I was going [...]
