Rabid Bug

Zeherah notes on the forums that there is presently a bug with our pets’ autocasting of Rabid.  It can apparently wait a substantial amount of time to cast after it is off cooldown.  Zeherah also suggests that Rabid’s behavior varies between bosses; on some bosses it gets used properly, on some bosses it doesn’t.  Moreover, [...]

There is a rumor going around that Sic ‘Em! is horribly bugged.  This isn’t the case.

I just wanted to quickly confirm that pet Focus is back to normal on the PTR.  For more on the issue, check out the forum thread here. And, as long as I’m confirming things, yes, the new model for the Dark Phoenix mount does look much better.

Hey guys, look! Frostheim let me write a hunter article at wow.com! So I took the opportunity to make a case for taming druids. Lastly, I think we should be able to tame druids. Wait, don’t close this browser yet! Hear me out! I think that during PvP, hunters should have a short term Mind Control [...]

What is extreme soloing? It is soloing game content that was originally not meant to be done by one player, such as older instances and older raids.   Typically, this content is challenging, otherwise it isn’t extreme.  I realize that “extreme soloing” isn’t the coolest name for the activity, but it is the name already in use and I see [...]

I’m a fairly laid back hunter blogger, and as such, I tend to see things through a rose-colored monocle. It was not needed today- the Cataclysm hunter changes were 100% good ones, in my opinion. I’ll complain if I feel the results need tweaking, but as all we’re seeing now is a design philosophy, I [...]

Nethaera posted the hunter changes. Reposting now, analysis and follow up quotes will be edited in at the end. Of course this would happen while I was at lunch. I called it. With the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm many game elements will be changing, and each class will be receiving a number of tweaks. [...]

From Zarhym: “Hellscream’s Warsong and Strength of Wrynn now provide their bonuses to player pet health and damage, as well as the absorption amounts of Power Word: Shield and Sacred Shield.” I’m happy :) edit: well, I will be in 3.3.3!

Or are you just happy to see me? Looks like our pets are not auto-casting as fast as they should be. If you leave an ability on auto-cast, pets apparently take a variable amount of time more than they should to cast it. There are reports of this going down to almost nothing in deserted [...]

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.

This patch contained a lot of awesome. One of the smaller awesomes, however, was that our pets gained some new functionality from cower and lost the old functionality. Today we’re going to go over the changes, as well as some potential use cases.

This is just a short note to let you know that the venerable Ghostcrawler has posted a little something about pet avoidance, and their ability to avoid AOE damage. Here’s the link, and here’s the quote:

Phyllixia from the Hunters Rhok blog (and they do!) has finished her 5 part series on how to manage and control pets. An excellent read- even for level 80 raiding hunters :) While you’re there, add the RSS feed to your reader.

From Ahunkaluvin: “I’d like a guide to what the common mistakes are. For instance, I have pretty fair gear and have tried to put most of your lessons to practice, but somehow I still get nowhere near the DPS(about 1600-1800) of my fellow hunters. OK, So I suck, but, WHY? (other than just general suckiness)” [...]

Today we’ll be going over the Mimiron fight: how to DPS it, and how to keep your pet alive through it. This guy is one of the easier bosses. He has a long enrage timer, and the only way you’ll hit it (or wipe) is if people “stand in fires”. Here’s the hard part- this [...]
