Posts Tagged ‘patch 3.2’

Episode 5 of The Hunting Party was done without Darkbrew, who is on vacation (lucky blighter), but we got Brigwyn to fill in. We started with the interview, and then went over the news. Today’s show notes contain a lot of links: Most importantly, the squirrel launcher. Brigwyn’s blog, podcast, and forums. The Hunting Party [...]

**Note: much of this post is reused from the last version, but the comments there were left over several patches, so I’m updating it and reposting. 0/15/56 is the survival spec that gets me the most DPS. Lets go over the basics, and why I took (or didn’t take) things. In general, you want to [...]

Go ahead and peruse them, and if you notice anything wrong, comment or contact. Survival rotation Survival macros Wolf pet build Survival spec and glyphs (updated 8 Sep, [...]

Hey everyone, hope you’ve all reconfigured your addons and scrounged up enough epic gems to fill out your gear! Today we’re going to talk about Isle of Conquest. Disclaimer: for the purposes of this article I’m going to assume you’ve either read the WoWWiki page, stepped into the BG at least once, or both.

Northrend beasts is the first encounter in the new Trial of the Crusader instance. We one-shot it yesterday, and I figured I’d write up what I learned. First and foremost, the neat thing is that at this point in the game, there’s few easily accessable strats, guides, and videos. This is progression on a boss [...]

You’ve all read the patch notes, here’s what’s important. [Edit 10 aug 2009:] Kill shot no longer has a minimum range! Use when applying melee tactics. All profession based PvE boosts get their performance increased for free, except blacksmithing and jewelcrafting. The extra gem slots and better JC only gems have to be bought somehow. [...]

If you spend a lot of time on the popular forums, like the class specific ones at the Blizzard site or the class specific ones on arenajunkies.com, you will notice a lot of doom ‘n’ gloom posts about 3.2 not being too great for hunters, despite many people’s opinion, including Ghostcrawler’s, that season 6 was [...]

Well, my friends, we are nearly to the end of what some refer to as arena season 6, but I refer to as “That Really Bad Recurring Nightmare”. Patch 3.2 is live already, of course, which means we can all take advantage of the new hunter changes to bump our rating up [ed: how 3.2 [...]

[Rip's editor's note: Hi folks, today's post is the first OutDPS hunter PvP post! Since I'm a mouth breathing, key turning, button mashing, terribad PvP hunter, I invited someone with a real arena rating to write about this. Put your hands together for Jurgwena! (And yes, that's his real personal rating on his 5v5 team)] [...]

I went over this a while ago, but I keep on seeing one of the most common questions all over the various forums I watch: what professions should a hunter take? The answer is deceptively complex.

Today we’re going over hit rating. You are all aware that there’s something magically special about hit, I’m sure, due to the ambient information on the internet. What you may not know is exactly why people are always worried about getting hit capped! Well, I’m going to de-mystify this today.

I am still working on several promised posts, however I can dash this one off with a minimum of time investment, so naturally, these types of posts float to the top of my priority queue ;) ps. if you only like my writing on hunter PvE and don’t want to read my rare economic posts, [...]

Everyone has an opinion about lock and load. It used to be the bread and butter of the trapdancing spec, and is now still an incredibly nice talent that’s well worth the points spent in it. What it does is proc from 20% of the ticks of black arrow outside its 22 second cooldown, providing [...]

The best DPS raiding pet since patch 3.1 is the wolf. This post will go over how to get one, what to do with it, and how to “configure” it. Heh, “configuring your wolf” is such a min/maxer way of putting it :)

Well, my old UI wasn’t cutting it any more. I’ve ignored it as long as possible, and when 3.1 hit, I could ignore it no longer. 6 abilities that need to be woven around each other does not lend itself well to my old 1-2-3-4 SV keybindings. I’m also not willing to install any new [...]

I covered the shot priorities list. Now it’s time for macros. Some of you are thinking “Macros? I thought you said not to macro shots, just to weave them manually based on what’s available and highest priority?”. This is correct! However, and I went over this in the last patch, it’s fine to take all [...]
