PvP tips for new Hunters

Monday, May 9th, 2011

Over the past few weeks I’ve been spending more of my time in battlegrounds and arena on my Rogue, as well as leveling yet another alt – a dirty Warlock. It’s only in the last couple of weeks that I’ve been able to find time for some regular PvP action. One thing I’ve noticed is [...]

The state of DPS following patch 4.0.6

Friday, February 18th, 2011

With Patch 4.0.6 now live for almost a week there is enough data starting to trickle through to take a look at and see just who benefited the most from the patchy goodness. Now, leading up to the patch, there was a lot of doom and gloom, particularly in the Hunter community, where the Survival [...]

Hunter pets and raid buffs come Cataclysm

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

One of the big – and positive – hunter changes that came with patch 4.01 that I forgot to mention in my patch 4.01 QQ fest post is the introduction of raid wide buffs/debuffs from hunter pets.

Hunting in a post 4.01 world

One of the most common questions that you’ll hear asked by Marksmanship (MM) Hunters – as well as Warriors, Rogues and Kitty Druids – is “when should I start to gem for armor penetration?” The simple answer is, as soon as you can reach the hard or soft cap through gems, enchants and food. The [...]

Introduction to soloing old school heroic instances

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

With the Wrath of the Lich King nearing the end of its life cycle I’m finding myself increasingly bored with running the same heroic dungeons for emblems on my main and alts. I’ve reached the point where my main just doesn’t ‘need’ the frost emblems to the extent he did four or five months ago, [...]

Is Rowan’s Rifle of Silver Bullets Hunter loot?

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Today I thought I’d touch on a semi-controversial topic, the use of Rowan’s Rifle of Silver Bullets by Hunters. Let’s get something straight, Rowan’s Rifle is in no way itemised for Hunters. It carries strength, parry and dodge. Rowan’s Rifle is clearly a ‘stat stick’ for Warrior tanks. A Hunter should never be rolling against [...]

The quick and dirty guide to gearing up a Hunter

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

So you’re a hunter that has hit 80 and you’re looking to gear up as fast as possible without setting foot in side of a raid. What do you do? Simple. Run the ICC 5 mans on normal and heroic modes until you’re decked out in the finest iLvl 232 gear you’ll find — outside [...]

Over on the official Blizzard World of Warcraft forum there’s a new ‘blue’ post previewing some of the changes to the hunter class come the time of Cataclysm. It will be interesting to see how many of the previewed changes will make the final transition to Cataclysm when it finally drops. So here are the [...]
