Today I’ll be going over how to gem and enchant your hunter, regardless of spec. First off, you need to know what goal will give you the most bang for your buck. To that end, import your character into www.femaledwarf.com and we’ll get started. Here‘s a guide for how to use it if you’re not [...]

Episode 5 of The Hunting Party was done without Darkbrew, who is on vacation (lucky blighter), but we got Brigwyn to fill in. We started with the interview, and then went over the news. Today’s show notes contain a lot of links: Most importantly, the squirrel launcher. Brigwyn’s blog, podcast, and forums. The Hunting Party [...]

**Note: much of this post is reused from the last version, but the comments there were left over several patches, so I’m updating it and reposting. 0/15/56 is the survival spec that gets me the most DPS. Lets go over the basics, and why I took (or didn’t take) things. In general, you want to [...]

Go ahead and peruse them, and if you notice anything wrong, comment or contact. Survival rotation Survival macros Wolf pet build Survival spec and glyphs (updated 8 Sep, [...]

[Edit sep 28, 2009: there is an updated strategy here] The Faction Champions encounter is the third in the trial of the crusader. Unfortunately, at this time, there are no general wowhead (or whatever) guides I can refer you to for further reading, however since we two shot made short work of this last night, [...]

This is my first hard mode guide. Last night, I was invited to raid Ulduar 10 with the clique after we had to cancel the 25 due to an unfortunate coincidence of real life stun-locked healers. We can raid if we have to sub in DPS or tanks, but offspec healers won’t cut it. The [...]

It’s not showing up yet in the calculators, but survival might just have eclipsed marksmanship this patch. Marks hasn’t changed, but survival seems to have. Lock and load is proccing way more than it used to. According to some data from hunters on the survival thread at elitist jerks, each tick of black arrow has [...]

You’ve all read the patch notes, here’s what’s important. [Edit 10 aug 2009:] Kill shot no longer has a minimum range! Use when applying melee tactics. All profession based PvE boosts get their performance increased for free, except blacksmithing and jewelcrafting. The extra gem slots and better JC only gems have to be bought somehow. [...]

Well, my friends, we are nearly to the end of what some refer to as arena season 6, but I refer to as “That Really Bad Recurring Nightmare”. Patch 3.2 is live already, of course, which means we can all take advantage of the new hunter changes to bump our rating up [ed: how 3.2 [...]

I went over this a while ago, but I keep on seeing one of the most common questions all over the various forums I watch: what professions should a hunter take? The answer is deceptively complex.

Today we’re going over hit rating. You are all aware that there’s something magically special about hit, I’m sure, due to the ambient information on the internet. What you may not know is exactly why people are always worried about getting hit capped! Well, I’m going to de-mystify this today.

Everyone has an opinion about lock and load. It used to be the bread and butter of the trapdancing spec, and is now still an incredibly nice talent that’s well worth the points spent in it. What it does is proc from 20% of the ticks of black arrow outside its 22 second cooldown, providing [...]

The best DPS raiding pet since patch 3.1 is the wolf. This post will go over how to get one, what to do with it, and how to “configure” it. Heh, “configuring your wolf” is such a min/maxer way of putting it :)

Well, my old UI wasn’t cutting it any more. I’ve ignored it as long as possible, and when 3.1 hit, I could ignore it no longer. 6 abilities that need to be woven around each other does not lend itself well to my old 1-2-3-4 SV keybindings. I’m also not willing to install any new [...]

I covered the shot priorities list. Now it’s time for macros. Some of you are thinking “Macros? I thought you said not to macro shots, just to weave them manually based on what’s available and highest priority?”. This is correct! However, and I went over this in the last patch, it’s fine to take all [...]
