The big news of the 2011 Global Battle.net Invitational is that a team with a hunter on it managed to come out on top. And it is news because, well, nobody expected any team with a hunter to do this well. The winning team was OMG, a PHDK comp of a holy paladin, a marksman hunter, and [...]

Why is Focus Allegedly Too Weak in PVP?
Posted in arena, battlegrounds, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged focus, pvp on August 1, 2011 | 28 Comments »
To the PVE hunter, Focus can seem perfectly fine. It satisfies the costs of a rotation. It requires enough management to be interesting but not enough to be distracting. It can largely be considered a successful class change on Blizzard’s part. But many PVP hunters think otherwise. The official forums are riddled with threads about issues related [...]

The Only Way to Get an ilvl 378 Gun
Posted in arena, battlegrounds, Hunter, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged arena, battlegrounds, bgs, conquest points, honor, pvp, raid gun, rated bgs on July 9, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Blizzard has left us with few options for a PvE gun this tier. It gave us a crafted gun at ilvl 365, but at raid-quality item levels it ultimately decided that the Firelands needed a second crossbow more than a single gun. This leaves us with one ilvl 378 gun in the game, the resilience-clad Ruthless Gladiator’s Rifle (there’s [...]
Moving Into Hunter Arena PvP!

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 [...]

I’ve been spending a fair bit of time on PvP lately, and while I’m far from an expert, I’ve logged a lot of battleground time, a little arena time, and have picked up a bunch of habits that I plan on writing about. As I’m fairly certain that I’m the worst PvP hunter on the [...]
The Right Stuff (Arena Edition)

Hey all. Today I want to talk about an issue that is about as near to my heart as anything related to arenas can be. Most people take a lot of time to figure out their gear and spec before stepping into arenas: they look for good teammates of the right classes, and they try [...]

So I got a new weapon recently, and I’m sure by now most of you have managed to pick up something from ToC that’s giving you good mileage, which means it’s time to look at marksmanship! Of course, a lot of you PvE as marks. MM is by far the most fun spec to play [...]

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. What enchants you use obviously depend on your professions, to some extent, but hunters actually have a lot of flexibility and it’s important to know what you’re doing.

A Hunter’s Guide to 5v5 Arena

5v5 has always been the hunter’s strongest bracket. We’ve never had enough support abilities to really shine in 3v3, and always lacked the burst to dominate 2v2, but in 5v5 playing a hunter feels just right. I really live for the moments when my 5v5 gets to queue. If you are lucky enough to find [...]
Why stamina-stacking doesn’t work in Arenas

Sometime early in s6, hunters looked at the talent hunter vs. wild and thought to themselves, what if I gemmed and enchanted completely for stamina? The desire to make a gimmicky kind of build work is understandable given how successful, in WOTLK alone, stuff like shadowfrost DKs (a phenomenon that appears to be making a [...]
