Posted in Hunter, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged 4.3.2, careful aim, One with Nature, shark attack, Sic 'Em!, Survival, wild hunt on February 4, 2012 | 17 Comments »
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 [...]

The Valor Trinket is Not That Bad
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged Kiroptic Sigil 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.

Posted in economics, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged A Treatise on Strategy, extreme soloing, Vortex Pinnacle on January 5, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Edit: The availability of A Treatise on Strategy has increased dramatically in 4.3.2 (and even drops from the new heroics now, I think), meaning that soloing for it is now probably not worth your time. A Treatise on Strategy is probably the hardest to acquire quest item for the new Darkmoon Faire, in part because [...]

It looks like 4.3.2 will hold a nice change for SV according to MMO-Champion: Lock and Load will no longer consume Arcane Shots. Kaivax embellished on this change and Blizzard’s thoughts on hunters in general in an informative post:
