So, for anyone who didn’t check MMO champion this weekend, there was another MLG tournament (3v3 arena). eMg won, running alternately BM hunter/Enh shm/Disc Priest and BM hunter/Enh Shm/Holy Pld. Grats to them on a job well done, but I have to say the stars really aligned for them. Only 1 RMP made it to [...]

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 [...]

Northrend beasts is the first encounter in the new Trial of the Crusader instance. We one-shot it yesterday, and I figured I’d write up what I learned. First and foremost, the neat thing is that at this point in the game, there’s few easily accessable strats, guides, and videos. This is progression on a boss [...]

This post will feature useful tips for hunters versus each class. The tips are meant to be general, and you should look for ways to apply them in any setting you can. Playing your class to its fullest is one of the few remaining ways to enjoy WoW, since the advent of the Death Knight [...]

If you spend a lot of time on the popular forums, like the class specific ones at the Blizzard site or the class specific ones on arenajunkies.com, you will notice a lot of doom ‘n’ gloom posts about 3.2 not being too great for hunters, despite many people’s opinion, including Ghostcrawler’s, that season 6 was [...]

(And yes, that's his real personal rating on his 5v5 team)] [...]

Hey folks, I know, two blegs in a week. I am looking for someone who knows all aspects of Hunter PVP (arena, BGs/WG, dueling, etc) to guest write for OutDPS.com. All I do in PVP is keyturn, fail to find buttons I know are there, mouse click the wrong ones, and generally fail at twitching. [...]
