How to reforge your hunter!

Posted in addons, Hunter, Resources, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , on July 30, 2011 | 8 Comments »

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 [...]

Gear for success, and, well, no promises. Just do it.

Gearing a survival hunter is much simpler than gearing for beast mastery was before patch 3.0.8.
