Several new updates to the 4.3 patch notes affect hunters, including the removal of some prominent pet bugs and the implementation of some mechanical changes that, to put it bluntly, do not even work.

Extreme Soloing Basics

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 [...]
What I Love About Cataclysm Hunters!

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. [...]
BM to MM/SV Pet Talent Tree Bug
Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Marksmanship, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged bm, bug, mm, pet spec, pet talents, pets, sv on January 9, 2010 | 7 Comments »
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. [...]
Blue Post Christmas List!

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 [...]
Hunter Pets to Level Faster!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged leveling, patch 3.3, pets, PTR on October 16, 2009 | 4 Comments »
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 [...]
