4.1 is out and it brought with it the usual tumult of a content patch: broken addons, disconnections, bugs, login problems, AH shortages (read: opportunities), and rampant qq. In my guild the biggest concern on the night of the release seemed to be getting Recount to work properly before the raid. Of course, there were so many DCs [...]

A lot of hunters are starting to get into PvP, if only to fill in some gaps in their raiding gear. A lot of hunters don’t have access to epic PvE head and shoulders, and using Vicious Gladiator pieces in those slots can be a DPS increase, especially when you consider the 70 agility from [...]

Using Comparebot as a Hunter

Comparebot is a useful analysis tool that takes World of Logs parses and winnows that information down even further. It does not display more or better information than World of Logs. It does, however, do more legwork for the user than WoL, pulling out important bits of information and presenting them in ways that are easy to [...]

Working with Tanks

This is a companion post to Working With Healers and has a similar purpose: discussing tanks and hunters in the opening tier of Cataclysm. While it’s true that healers have the toughest job right now, tanking still ranks above huntering in terms of difficulty. Tanks are expected to know new fights inside and out, and a lot more hangs [...]
Vicious PVP Gear in PVE

Many classses were using pvp at the start of the expansion to obtain gear that was superior in pve to anything that dropped in heroic 5mans. Blizzard responded to that drift toward pvp gear by nerfing 4-piece pvp set bonuses across the board. Yet, this did not bring an end to the well-reasoned use of pvp gear in pve settings by [...]

I had to find out by his announcement post. Well, Frost, you can ditch the Hunting Party Podcast if you want, but you’re still on contract as the poet laureate for OutDPS until July 2012. We’ll be better off without him, folks. We’ll just get someone else to come on and chain heroics and yell [...]
