I’ve been grinding a fair bit of MM PvP since 4.0.6. I’m not so good at arenas, but I’m fairly decent in BGs. One of the most important factors in BG success with a hunter is your ability to play the map, and utilize the advantages of your superior class to the best effect possible. [...]

Hi folks, this week we’ve invited Loinclothz, the top rated hunter in the US, to the Hunting Party podcast to talk about the journey from PvE to PvP mastery.

Random Battleground Hunter PvP Tricks!
Posted in battlegrounds, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged battlegrounds, bg, Hunter, misinformation, mobility, peel, pvp, strategy, tactics, tips 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? Spread them out, distract them, and reduce their ability to focus fire. In Eye of the Storm, if [...]
Hunting Professor Putricide!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged dps, gas cloud, Hunter, kite, kiting, professor putricide, putricide, pve, ranged, strat, strategy, tips, volatile ooze on March 12, 2010 | 20 Comments »
Professor Putricide is the execution check your raid leader has nightmares about. All the 5% buffs in the world won’t save you from bad positioning on this fight. As hunters, we’ve got every opportunity to do top notch performance on this fight, and today we’re going to talk about how.
Hunting Festergut!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged boss, festergut, ICC, icecrown citadel, plagueworks, pve, raiding, strategy on February 18, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Festergut is usually the first boss a raid will attempt once they get past Saurfang and his merry band of blood beasts. He is as close to a patchwerk fight as you’ll see in Icecrown, but there’s still some hunter strategy involved. Assuming the tanks and healers are able to keep everyone alive, this is [...]
Hunting Deathbringer Saurfang!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged blood beasts, blood nova, blood power, Deathbringer Saurfang, how to kite, hunters, ICC, icecrown citadel, kite, kiting, kiting blood beasts, mark of the fallen champion, pve, raiding, strategy, tactics on December 29, 2009 | 41 Comments »
This encounter is the glock-block encounter designed to test your guilds’ hunters’ kiting skills, as well as your healers and tanks and everything else. Doing this fight feels like rolling a boulder up a ski jump- that last 3% takes more work than the first 20%. Haven’t kited in a while? Read on for the [...]

Welcome the the latest installment of Musings on Mods! Today, we’re going to talk about the Boss Tactics addon. Boss Tactics is an a phenomenal tool to make your raid run more smoothly. What it does is allows synchronized graphical walk through of boss encounters. “Huh” I hear you ask? Boss Tactics let’s you and [...]
Hunting Northrend Beasts Heroic Mode!

This guide is all about how to be an excellent hunter for Northrend Beasts Heroic. This is the first (and arguably one of the harder) encounters in Trial of the Grand Crusader, and is a serious example of front-loading difficulty. Your raid needs to execute very well, and you need to have the gear/skill horsepower [...]
Advanced Hunting of the Twin Val’kyr!
Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged disengage, dps, Hunter, orbs, pve, soaking, strategy, toc, trial of the crusader, Twin Val'kyr on November 23, 2009 | 22 Comments »
My last guide to the twins was effective, but is due for a bit of an overhaul. Mainly because it fails to address a very important hunter-specific strategy. Before I continue, go read it because I won’t be going over the basics of the fight, and will assume you know the mechanics already (in terms [...]
Mastering Alterac Valley
Posted in battlegrounds, Hunter, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged alterac valley, av, battleground, bg, graveyards, honor, pvp, strategy, tower on November 10, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Alterac Valley is a complex battleground, but it’s also been out for a long time so I’m not going to spend time going over the basics. There are two basic ways to win this BG, and I’ll go over them today.
Hunting Yogg Saron!

I realized that I never got around to writing this boss guide, but better late than never. Yogg Saron is the final encounter in Ulduar, and this guide will go over the basics of the fight (although “basics” is a bit of a misnomer) and talk about a few things hunters can do to really [...]
Mastering Eye of the Storm
Posted in battlegrounds, Hunter, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged battleground, eots, eye of the storm, strategy on October 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Hey all, today we’ll discuss Eye of the Storm, and just like last time, I’m assuming know the basics of this BG (check this if you don’t). This will be a short one because EotS is a very simple battleground.
Mastering Arathi Basin

Hey all, as promised, I’m going to put out guides on all the different battlegrounds. Today we’re discussing what has been the most strategic battleground since the inception of the battleground system: Arathi Basin. This post will assume you have a general familiarity with the battleground, and will focus on strategies more than basics.
Hard Mode: Hunting General Vezax!

This is my first hard mode guide. Last night, I was invited to raid Ulduar 10 with the clique after we had to cancel the 25 due to an unfortunate coincidence of real life stun-locked healers. We can raid if we have to sub in DPS or tanks, but offspec healers won’t cut it. The [...]
