Working with Healers

Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged , , on January 7, 2011 | 14 Comments »

I’ve written about healers for OutDPS before, but I think that with Cataclysm our relationship with them merits revisiting.  Players are still learning the mechanics of even the 5mans, leading to lots of standing in fire in all settings.  Healers go oom more often and have less capacity for emergency triage owing to Blizzard’s decision to make [...]

This week, we welcome a guest, Morynne of Marks-365, to the show to discuss the first week of Cataclysm. This was recorded Dec 12th, so some of the information is already dated, however apparently Frostheim doesn’t know who Gene Simmons is. This won’t get old for a while.

Questions and Answers from the First Week of Cataclysm

Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged , , on December 12, 2010 | 10 Comments »

This post will go over some questions that I came across during my first week in playing the new expansion.  This FAQ is far from comprehensive, but I figure that sharing some information is better than sharing none.  After the cut, you’ll find discussions of stat scaling, new gear, Aspect of the Fox, Archaeology and Pathfinding.

He somehow managed to arrange for some quality time with Ghostcrawler, and brings us the report about some of the things they chatted about.

The pre-Cataclysm patch is up on the public test realm.  There hunters have focus and a dramatically different spellbook.  Pets have their new abilities.  Armor penetration is gone from our gear and haste is in ascendance.  What can we do to prepare before these and other changes go live?
