Bah Humbug. Bornakk says: The spirit beasts are not the real issue from our perspective. We this spirit beasts are doing fine and we don’t want them to be the only choice for BM hunters since speccing BM should give a player more choices for pets (ideally) and not less. The problem mainly lies with [...]

As you guys probably know, we have a new pet talent replacing avoidance. Now that a 90% AOE reduction is baked into pets, culling the herd was replaced in the talent tree exactly where avoidance was. It provides a 3% damage done boose to you and your pet every time it procs, and procs from [...]

The patch 3.3 test realm notes were released today. Of interest: Hunter Misdirection: Redesigned. Instead of having finite charges, it now begins a 4-second timer when the hunter using Misdirection performs a threat-generating attack, during which all threat generated by the hunter goes to the friendly target.

Hey everyone, today I’m going to write a short post about enchanting your gear for PvP. It’s not as straightforward as you might think.

Beast mastery is a fan favorite. It was also unbalanced for the first part of this expansion, and got nerfed hard in patch 3.0.8.

We’ve all been there, right? Most hunters start at level one, and have to get to 80 the long way. On that vein, I am going to answer a very simple question today. “What should I spend my next talent point on?” All the guides I’ve read (and certainly most of what I’ve written) seem [...]
