Editors note: Please welcome the illustrious Zeherah, creator of www.femaledwarf.com! She has awesomely agreed to write up the occasional post when she can think of something that would benefit us! Today, it’s about how to learn from logs. Step 1: Create a Log and Post It Note: If your guild already posts logs to the [...]
BM Raiding Data Point!
Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Marksmanship, World of Warcraft, tagged beastmaster, beastmastery, bm, data, dps, pve, raid viability, test on March 8, 2010 | 39 Comments »
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 [...]
Lock and Load- We’ve Been Doing it Wrong!
Posted in Hunter, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged aimed shot, black arrow, dps, explosive shot, lock and load, pve, serpent sting, simulationcraft, steady shot, weaving on March 4, 2010 | 27 Comments »
edit: I can’t believe I missed this post on the same subject. Lyraat used raid parses, which are more subject to RNG than simulationcraft’s batches of thousands of simulated fights, however it uses the actual game engine. Well, apparently I’ve been doing it wrong since patch 3.1 or something. The common knowledge of how to [...]
Beastmaster Viability Data!
Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged Beast Mastery, bm, dps, dps difference, Hunter, in game data, modelled, pve, spreadsheets 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 [...]
Beastmaster Raid Viability?
Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged arthas, Beast Mastery, choice, dps, drooling facerollers, icecrown, min-maxing, pve, raiding, spec on February 24, 2010 | 76 Comments »
I promised myself I wouldn’t get into this. People really seem to get divided over the issue and take it way more personally than I think they should. There have been several posts on both sides of the question that got debated endlessly, but I finally decided that I would throw my two cents in. [...]
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 [...]
Explosive Trap- Hunter Consecrate!
Posted in Hunter, Marksmanship, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged adds, aoe, dps, explosive trap, heroics, hunter consecrate, lock and load, misdirect, mm, sv, trash on January 19, 2010 | 23 Comments »
Explosive trap is awesome. It has been buffed quite a bit lately and now scales quite nicely with our attack power, so I figured I’d write up a guide about how and when to use it.
ICC Macros

This post holds macros that you may find useful for Lady Deathwhisper and Saurfang in ICC. If they fit your play style, great; if not, don’t use them. Also note that these macros are at their bare bones. You should add in Kill Command, trinket activations, etc., as appropriate.
Hunting Lady Deathwhisper!

Lady Deathwhisper is the second boss in ICC, and while this fight was recently nerfed, it is still a challenge. Especially on 25 man. Hunters have a few unique roles in it too, so today we’ll go over what it takes to take down Deathwhisper.
What Am I Doing Wrong!?

There has been a surge in questions about the basics lately- people telling me that they are not producing enough DPS based on what they think they should do with the gear they have. I’m going to go over the basics today, and if you do everything you read here, you shouldn’t have that problem.
A Case for Min-Maxing DPS
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged dps, opinion, optimizing dps on December 28, 2009 | 11 Comments »
This is an opinion piece and is not an official OutDPS! position. Are we obligated to do min-maxed dps? We may want to for any number of reasons, but is there also a moral impetus?
Blue Post Christmas List!
Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Marksmanship, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged blue posts, bm, buff, dps, mm, nerf, pets, sv, wolves on December 22, 2009 | 17 Comments »
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 [...]
The New Misdirect!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged dps, marrowgar, MD, misdirect, misdirection, patch 3.3, pve, raiding, tanking, threat, threat reset on December 11, 2009 | 17 Comments »
I’m not kidding when I say that the new misdirect is probably one of my favorite changes in patch 3.3. Every time a tank says “holy mackerel- I had 20k threat on that boss”, I smirk. It’s a win win. For the cost of a GCD (the first one is free), you help keep your [...]
Culling The Herd!
Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Marksmanship, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged crits, culling the herd, dps, focus, go for the throat, pve, raiding, uptime on December 10, 2009 | 4 Comments »
As you guys probably know, we have a new pet talent replacing avoidance. Now that a 90% AOE reduction is baked into pets, culling the herd was replaced in the talent tree exactly where avoidance was. It provides a 3% damage done boose to you and your pet every time it procs, and procs from [...]
When to Roll on Leather!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged attack power, dkp, dps, expertise, Hunter, intellect, itemization, leather, mail, pve on December 4, 2009 | 24 Comments »
Ever since we hit level 40 and gained the ability to wear mail, we’re considered a mail class. Once we hit 80 and start raiding, however, it can be profitable to take a look back at leather sometimes! There are of course pros and cons. Pros: Sometimes, leather pieces (intended for rogues, generally) have stats [...]
Hunting Northrend Beasts Heroic Mode!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged acidmaw, dps, dreadscale, gormok, guide, hard mode., heroic mode, Hunter, icehowl, jormungar worms, northrend beasts, pve, strategy, two jormungar worms on December 3, 2009 | 14 Comments »
This guide is all about how to be an excellent hunter for Northrend Beasts Heroic. This is the first (and arguably one of the harder) encounters in Trial of the Grand Crusader, and is a serious example of front-loading difficulty. Your raid needs to execute very well, and you need to have the gear/skill horsepower [...]
