Digging through the blue posts on fury warriors (haha, no, actually Shaedon over at the Hunter’s Refuge posted about this) I found this gem of a hunter tidbit from Ghostcrawler: Lowering the GCD is as close to anything on the never list.

I’ll have limited ability to post, except very early in the morning or randomly as I find a few minutes. I’m doing a training. My instructor is a semi-retired suspender + belt wearing guy who counts in binary on his fingers (to go higher than 10) and apparently was some sort of OS developer in [...]

Node based battlegrounds (Arathi Basin and Eye of the Storm, mainly) are curious. The strategy for winning them relies heavily on the ability for individuals to balance two things that don’t match well at all: spreading out and grouping up. Most people in a random BG will be in a constant cycle of: Find nearest [...]

Do you want to know how hunters stack up on average to other DPS classes? Take a look at the article that OutDPS poet laureate Frostheim painstakingly put together for wow.com. Interesting data. A visual cue that might help you is that all hunter specs are in green.

Here are a few of my favorite things in battleground PvP. Tactics If you have 5 people following you to a heavily defended node with, say, 6 opponents, how can you turn the fight to your advantage? Spread them out, distract them, and reduce their ability to focus fire. In Eye of the Storm, if [...]
