Noxious Stings Fix

Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , on February 23, 2012 | 3 Comments »

A hotfix has been released that should allow all SV hunters attacking a target to benefit from Noxious Stings.  The issue had been that only the most recently manually applied Serpent Sting on the target would offer the 10% extra damage dealt from Noxious Stings.  Any older Serpent Stings on the target would not confer [...]

I’m sure this isn’t even close to news for some of you, but I just noticed this week that my Valor to Conquest Point conversions are counting toward my CP season total.  What this means is that all CP gains now count toward that 7,800 point benchmark required for purchasing ilvl 397 `Cataclysmic’ weapons.  This [...]

Survival is the spec of choice these days thanks to the buffs it received in 4.3 and 4.3.2.  This means that the spec is receiving closer scrutiny than it has in the past.  The consensus build appears to involve SV taking three points in One With Nature, two points in Sic ‘Em! and none in [...]

Podcast outage and update

Posted in Offtopic, tagged , , , , on February 1, 2012 | 6 Comments »

Hey folks, sometime recently, our FTP server stopped working. It was bound to happen eventually, but I suspect our hosting provider simply turned us off. We were doing 50GB a day of FTP traffic on a virtual private server, and I think that’s the definition of a “bad neighbor”. We toyed briefly with an account [...]

The Valor Trinket is Not That Bad

Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged on January 13, 2012 | 13 Comments »

As an on-use trinket with no passive agility, the Kiroptic Sigil may not seem all that appealing.  It also does not compare favorably on spreadsheets with other trinkets this tier (as Frostheim discusses here).  However, it ends up being better than we might first expect.

The Raid Finder is designed to open raiding to a wider audience, and so it is fair to view the Raid Finder as an expression of what Blizzard wants raiding for this larger audience to be.  It is accessible, quick, undemanding, forgiving, and convenient.  It is in many ways the opposite of what we might [...]
