Reforging is one of those questions that gets asked a lot, and the answer is deceptively simple, considering how complex reforging can actually be. It usually runs something like “reforge to 8% hit, and then dump all your mastery or haste into crit”, sometimes with a caveat to avoid going below 1235 haste. Whether you [...]

DPSCheck: Better late than missing auto shots
Posted in addons, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged addon, delayed auto-shots, dpscheck. missed auto-shots, hunter skill on October 12, 2010 | 20 Comments »
Many moons ago, Euripides put out a call to arms – would anyone be willing to write an addon to check for preventable hunter DPS losses? The call was answered promptly, but over the following months, it seemed like the hunter DPS addon was somewhere between vaporware and a blogger-style urban legend. With the ensuing [...]

Hi folks, Shadowstreak here! I’m back to talk about a few small mods, so lets all put our cheering hats on for eAlign, Baud Mark and CloseUp! eAlign eAlign solves an issue that many mod-appreciative players face every day. So if you’ve ever asked yourself, are they the same distance from the edge? Then eAlign [...]
Hunter DPS Addon Preview Video!

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! [...]

editor’s note: Please put your hands together for the newest OutDPS writer, Shadowstreak! You might know of him as the artist for the Frostheim Goggles comic, over at WHU. If not, go check it out- it’s some funny stuff! Shadowstreak will be writing about addons, since Faeghleis is taking a break from the game until [...]
Power Auras Project Unnecessary!
Posted in addons, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged addon, buffs, debuffs, mouseover, name plates, power auras, serpent sting, utopia, zomgbuffs on March 17, 2010 | 20 Comments »
As was pointed out by Sev in the comments of my post about this, there is an addon that does everything I’m trying to force Power Auras to do for me. Utopia goes a step farther than I can, and knows the difference between not having an available buff/debuff, and not having it because it’s [...]
Crowdsourcing Smart!
Posted in addons, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged addon, Hunter, skill on February 5, 2010 | 52 Comments »
Hi guys, you may remember that I had an idea for an addon that would help us hunters figure out what DPS we’re leaving on the table and improve our game. Well, luckily, one awesome reader stepped forward to code this. Pherra has already written the first version of the addon! It’s still in pre-pre-alpha, [...]
Preventable DPS Loss Addon? I Can’t Code!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged addon, dps, hunter fails, idea, preventable dps loss, raiding on January 28, 2010 | 35 Comments »
Not very well, at any rate, and not in Warcraft’s LUA language. That said, I have an idea for an addon. I’m sure someone out there either can do this, or has done it already. It’s an addon that tells you how many preventable losses of DPS you had during a fight. Picture failbot for [...]
Alternative Addon For Proc Tracking!

[edit: site is back up and running!] Take a look at this post over at Matticus’s NoStockui. It goes over an addon called SurgeTrack, which can be configured to track those nifty procs that we have to watch for that can change our next action. Like lock and load or improved steady shot. Right now, [...]

[editor's note: Please give a big outdps welcome to our newest contributor, Faeghleis! This is the hoopy frood that's been behind the scenes making The Hunting Party Podcast sound less terribad than we record it. His column will be about addons: how to use and configure them. You can normally expect weekend posts every two [...]

Here is my gold making 101 introduction post. This is a bit of a shift from my regularly scheduled content, but as was eloquently stated in a comment in my last post, “as a raider I need to fund my habit” :) These posts will be tagged and categorized separately from the regular nonsense firehose [...]

Well, I characteristically put my foot in my mouth again. I saw a fair bit of traffic from some site called “wow.com“, checked it out, and behold, someone had copied wowinsider.com right down to the comments! Well! That’s copyright infringement if I ever saw it… let’s just send a quick note to the wowinsider editors [...]
Lock and load!

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 [...]

We one shotted Malygos last night. 10 man only so far, but we have the 25 man key and will start trying to train more people on it. I got black ice, and am now happily trying to figure out a way to get under hit cap :) Some notes on the drake phase:
