Episode 105!

Posted in Hunter, Hunting Party Podcast, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , on October 30, 2011 | 10 Comments »

This week, we’re joined by Zeherah, creator of femaledwarf.com, and the most recent of three dwarven hunters to receive an in-game item named after her! We talk about OMG’s triumphant display of hunter PvP, and how it doesn’t mean we aren’t due for some buffs, as well as the buffs to BM DPS. Here’s the [...]

A Note on the Careful Aim Change for BM and SV

Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on June 7, 2011 | 7 Comments »

MM will want to keep its points in Careful Aim despite the nerf, but what about BM and SV, specs for which CA is weaker?  At least according to tentative results from a warf that’s been femaled, BM should keep points in CA (like this) if the PTR change goes live.  SV will be better [...]

BM Raiding Data Point!

Frost answered the call. He surprised me on the last podcast by telling me that he took his whole raid to Ironforge to pound on a dummy for two 5 minute tests, ostensibly to see what the stand still DPS of his raiding team was without any gimmicks. He did the first one as MM [...]

Beastmaster Viability Data!

Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , on March 3, 2010 | 20 Comments »

I got a couple of interesting comments on my last post about this, and it got me thinking. The spreadsheets and websites are not perfect models for in game results- everyone knows the disclaimers that come with using them. I am curious about how big the DPS difference of a BM hunter really is, and [...]

BM to MM/SV Pet Talent Tree Bug

Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Marksmanship, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , on January 9, 2010 | 7 Comments »

If you respec from BM to MM (or I believe to SV), you may end up with a pet talent tree like this: The pet talents used with the BM spec remain in the tree, preventing the use of the new unspent talents on, say, Thunderstomp.  The BM talents only exist in the talent tree and not in the pet’s Spellbook, though.  [...]

Blue Post Christmas List!

Bah Humbug. Bornakk says: The spirit beasts are not the real issue from our perspective. We this spirit beasts are doing fine and we don’t want them to be the only choice for BM hunters since speccing BM should give a player more choices for pets (ideally) and not less. The problem mainly lies with [...]

Slowly but Surely, Beastmastery is Gaining!

Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 17, 2009 | 22 Comments »

Beast mastery is a fan favorite. It was also unbalanced for the first part of this expansion, and got nerfed hard in patch 3.0.8. After that patch, the majority of people who played BM in a raiding environment were people who really liked the playstyle, and had more skill with it than they did using [...]

How to Spec a Leveling Hunter!

Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , on September 2, 2009 | 16 Comments »

We’ve all been there, right? Most hunters start at level one, and have to get to 80 the long way. On that vein, I am going to answer a very simple question today. “What should I spend my next talent point on?” All the guides I’ve read (and certainly most of what I’ve written) seem [...]

‘Sup folks! Today we’re going to discuss the popular hunter team compositions. Disclaimer: There are a ton of comps that qualify as “viable,” even for a statistically weak class like hunter, but you need to be with competent players. I don’t even have experience with most of the comps I see hunters 2.7k+ with, and [...]
