New look at lock and load!

There’s some anecdotal evidence over at The Hunter’s Mark about new lock and load rates. Did they go up or down with 3.1? Well, I am a big believer that the plural of anecdote is not fact, and that in order to measure something that’s supposed to proc 6% of the time from black arrow [...]

I take it back- I have time to post this!

I was reading this thread on elitist jerks, and it looks like at high levels of T8 Ulduar gear, marksman hunters can produce more DPS (modeled) than survival hunters. From the first post: Best MM Template: Total DPS: 7741,32 Hunter DPS: 6636,55 Pet DPS: 1104,77 AP: 8010 Crit: 57,37% Hit: 100% ArP: 282 Shot Queue: [...]

I was so excited about this post, I used two exclamation points in the title. That’s one over my budget, but I’ll just have to try and save one from another post sometime. Well, the servers have been up and down like a toilet seat. I haven’t been able to play for long, and we [...]

Final edit may 20 2009- got the new version screenshotted and updated here. I won’t be keeping this one up to date any more- follow the above link for the most recent version. I’ve talked about this before and mentioned that it can be a little daunting to use, so here’s how to use the [...]

Edit: the macros in this post are no longer valid- here‘s the post 3.1 version. As a hunter, your job is to pump out as much hurt to your raid’s target as possible. You have a multitude of shots you can use to do this, but it’s not easy to watch so many damn cooldowns! [...]

To become an extraordinary DPSer, you need to make choices in spec, gear, play-style, and pets. Making the wrong choices is easy. Just do whatever seems best and don’t bother looking up your assumptions. Making good choices requires (ideally) a solid understanding of general PvE concepts, as well as a specific kind of knowledge that one could [...]
