Posted in addons, Hunter, Resources, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , on July 30, 2011 | 8 Comments »

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 [...]

Hunter DPS Addon Preview Video!

Posted in addons, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , on April 1, 2010 | 30 Comments »

Edit: sorry for the belated gotchya edit, but needless to say, this was my April fools joke. The video, if played, will bait you with about 10 seconds of hunter gameplay, and then rickroll you. Huge thanks to StellarX (blog) for volunteering to let me abuse his game footage for this- I owe you one! [...]
