Everyone has an opinion about lock and load. It used to be the bread and butter of the trapdancing spec, and is now still an incredibly nice talent that’s well worth the points spent in it. What it does is proc from 20% of the ticks of black arrow outside its 22 second cooldown, providing [...]

Today I’m going to do the next installment in my trapdancing series. We’ll discuss Loatheb, Instructor Razuvious, and Gothik the Harvester. Some background- trapdancing increases your dps by allowing you to get between 4 and 6 lock and load procs per minute. You drop frost traps on anything you can, even the boss if you [...]

To continue my series of posts about how to trap dance, today we’ll talk about Thaddius, Noth, and Heigan. I didn’t write this last time, and then wowinsider went and linked to part 3 explaining how to trapdance, but not why. The explanation is on one of my earlier posts, but simply put, the reason [...]

Editor’s note: If you are lucky enough to win the key to the focusing iris from Sapphiron even after you repeatedly murder that ugly cat in cold blood (and everyone knows that killing that cat guarantees a /roll of below 10 for the key), don’t forget to start the quest before you have your guild [...]
Trapdancing! Part 2- Patchwerk, Grand Widow Faerlina, Maexxna

Continuing my series of posts on how to trapdance on specific bosses, today we’re going to talk about Patchwerk, Grand Widow Faerlina, and Maexxna.
Patchwerk is a healing fight- dps can just go full throttle and not worry about moving. Unless the heals fail to keep the hateful strike tanks topped off, in which case, whoever’s highest on the agro list with full HP is going to take a hateful strike. As Bonkd pointed out in my last post, this has happened to me a few times.
Shot macros!

Edit: the macros in this post are no longer valid- here‘s the post 3.1 version.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! [...]
Survival!

As I’ve stated before, survival hunters can currently pump out more boss DPS per unit of gear than anyone else. It’s almost unfair. Almost.
