The new tames are a fun diversion but I can’t say I’m an expert on them.  What can the players who are experts tell us?  Read on after the break for a list of resources on the new tames.

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. [...]

If you respec from BM to MM (or I believe to SV), you may end up with a pet talent tree like this: The pet talents used with the BM spec remain in the tree, preventing the use of the new unspent talents on, say, Thunderstomp.  The BM talents only exist in the talent tree and not in the pet’s Spellbook, though.  [...]

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 [...]

MMO-Champion mentions that in the next patch, the amount of experience needed to level a pet will be halved. Leveling pets is the one part of hunters I do not like. It’s more than made up for by the rest of the awesomeness that is being a hunter, but it’s grind-ey, monotonous, unrewarding, and a [...]

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:

[editor's note: Please give a big outdps welcome to our newest contributor, Faeghleis! This is the hoopy frood that's been behind the scenes making The Hunting Party Podcast sound less terribad than we record it. His column will be about addons: how to use and configure them. You can normally expect weekend posts every two [...]

“OK, I got aimed shot… What next?” Hi guys, today we’re going to talk about speccing a hunter for arenas. I will concern myself mostly with 3v3 and 5v5, I will deal with both marks and surv but not beast mastery, and I will address pet talent trees at the end.

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. [...]
