Sunday Idle Post!

I strayed into a Naxx 25 PUG today out of boredom and a desire to test out the new badge pieces I got out on poor Patchwerk. Results below. It’s weird going back. I haven’t set foot in Naxx in a long time, but I still remember every detail of that place :). And my [...]

Well, I’m starting to write up some revisions for my earlier work on huntering pre-3.1. This will not be ready today, however, because while the patch notes are finalized, no live testing has been done. For now, here are two really nifty tools I discovered in my travels that every raid leader should know about. [...]

I’m short on time and bereft of ideas for a post, so I’m going to refer my reader(s?) to a brief Naxx guide written by Larissa over at the Hunters Mark.

Sometimes you can’t trapdance. For example- I’m not comfortable running in and out of trapping range on dragons with cleave and/or tail swipe. It’s also almost not worth the run time with their large hit boxes and the fact that you pretty much have to get toward the middle to get a trap off. In [...]

OK, short post today because I have to get cracking offline. When 3.1 hits, you have a large opportunity to make money. All the new gear that starts to drop from Ulduar as well as the changes to all the trade skills are going to mean economic shifts. If you’re on the right side of [...]

Today I’m going to do the next installment in my trapdancing series. We’ll discuss Loatheb, Instructor Razuvious, and Gothik the Harvester. Some background- trapdancing increases your dps by allowing you to get between 4 and 6 lock and load procs per minute. You drop frost traps on anything you can, even the boss if you [...]

I got a PM on the elitist jerks boards asking for help. A hunter had been asked by his GM to figure out what he was doing wrong. He has graciously allowed me to post my advice on this blog, so here goes.

To continue my series of posts about how to trap dance, today we’ll talk about Thaddius, Noth, and Heigan. I didn’t write this last time, and then wowinsider went and linked to part 3 explaining how to trapdance, but not why. The explanation is on one of my earlier posts, but simply put, the reason [...]

Editor’s note: If you are lucky enough to win the key to the focusing iris from Sapphiron even after you repeatedly murder that ugly cat in cold blood (and everyone knows that killing that cat guarantees a /roll of below 10 for the key), don’t forget to start the quest before you have your guild [...]

Continuing my series of posts on how to trapdance on specific bosses, today we’re going to talk about Patchwerk, Grand Widow Faerlina, and Maexxna.

Patchwerk is a healing fight- dps can just go full throttle and not worry about moving. Unless the heals fail to keep the hateful strike tanks topped off, in which case, whoever’s highest on the agro list with full HP is going to take a hateful strike. As Bonkd pointed out in my last post, this has happened to me a few times.

I’m going to write a multi-part post on trap dancing: the art of finding a safe way to get something to proc a lock and load for you. I’m going to go over all the bosses I’ve got experience with. I’ll do as many as I can fit into a post, and then if after reading them, you have a suggestion as to who I should do next, just leave a comment.
