Bloodthirsty PVP Gear Possibly Better than Dungeon Gear for PVE DPS

Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Marksmanship, pvp, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , on January 2, 2011 | 22 Comments »

I was playing around with Zeherah’s online dps modeler and found that four pieces of ilvl 352 Bloodthirsty pvp gear were better for my dps than the pieces of ilvl 346 pve gear I had equipped.  This was true for all three specs (an SV dungeon build, an MM dungeon build and a standard BM build) that I ran through [...]

I’ve been spending a fair bit of time on PvP lately, and while I’m far from an expert, I’ve logged a lot of battleground time, a little arena time, and have picked up a bunch of habits that I plan on writing about. As I’m fairly certain that I’m the worst PvP hunter on the [...]

Posted in Hunter, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , on May 28, 2010 | 8 Comments »

Scare beast is my new favorite spell. Make sure it’s glyphed! Why is this my favorite spell? Use cases follow, however: scare beast is the only spell that can make a furry druid hit their head on the keyboard so hard, you can hear it through the internet. They never expect it because it never [...]

Winning Strategy for Node Battlegrounds!

Posted in battlegrounds, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , on May 11, 2010 | 8 Comments »

Node based battlegrounds (Arathi Basin and Eye of the Storm, mainly) are curious. The strategy for winning them relies heavily on the ability for individuals to balance two things that don’t match well at all: spreading out and grouping up. Most people in a random BG will be in a constant cycle of: Find nearest [...]

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 [...]

Posted in battlegrounds, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , on May 5, 2010 | 4 Comments »

Here are a few of my favorite things in battleground PvP. Tactics If you have 5 people following you to a heavily defended node with, say, 6 opponents, how can you turn the fight to your advantage?

Communication In Battlegrounds!

Posted in battlegrounds, Hunter, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged , , on April 23, 2010 | 12 Comments »

Put 15 random people into a group, add a dose of epeen, a dash of afk, and a dollop of cluelessness, and you have your typical battleground group. At any given time, there will be a couple people in low quality (or high quality PvE) gear trying to figure out what the rules are, a [...]

Hunter PvP for PvEtards!

Posted in battlegrounds, Hunter, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , on April 19, 2010 | 26 Comments »

I’ll admit it, I’m a PvEtard. I don’t stand in fire and I don’t pull agro, but I sure as heck forget where I have master’s call bound and blow my trinket at the wrong time. That said, I’ve been having moderate success the last week in battlegrounds PvP, and thought I’d share some lessons [...]

There I was, sitting on the train, planning out today’s post. Well, I was actually zoning out listening to Muse. But while doing that, I had the most awesome idea for a post! Unfortunately, having no notepad available, I decided to forgo touch-typing it into my iPod. FAIL! I totally forgot what I was going [...]

Hey all. Today I want to talk about an issue that is about as near to my heart as anything related to arenas can be. Most people take a lot of time to figure out their gear and spec before stepping into arenas: they look for good teammates of the right classes, and they try [...]

My Travels in Season 7

Posted in Hunter, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , on January 16, 2010 | 5 Comments »

I’ve been running all kinds of crazy comps this season, including double healer/hunter, hunter/moonkin/priest, hunter/DK/priest, turtle cleave, and every variation on hunter/shaman/paladin that you can think of. I probably played hunter/DK/priest the most, but lately I’ve been running hunter/protret/resto shaman and have had by far the most success with it out of all the comps [...]
