…makes me sad. I saw this thread over at the Petopia forums and I grew kind of bummed over what’s (possibly) become of Grunter in Cataclysm. He’s gone all evil-like.
Although he’s gone largely un-talked-about here on the site, he is one of my favorite old school pets.
Perhaps the reason he’s been overlooked is because he’s one of the premier stabled pets I have for my Dwarf hunter. Yes… at one point in time, I was a conflicted hunter who saw Dwarvenism as the proper path – that and engineering. [read the rest of this entry…]
The latest hunter talent build for Cataclysm indicates a couple of buffs for Beast Masters.
Beast Mastery Talent Changes in the Latest Cataclysm Beta Build (12604)
- Cobra Shot now increases the duration of Serpent Sting on the target by 6 sec. (Up from 3 sec)
- Bestial Wrath no longer costs focus.

As I’ve been saying, it’s still too early to draw any conclusions, but… Cataclysm appears to be a promising expansion for Beast Masters. Fervor and Focus Fire also look to give the BM priority a little shot in the arm. I’m liking what’s happening with Beast Mastery thus far.
BRK may be responsible for some of that me thinks. 
Of course, being that I’m not in the beta… 
I can’t really see first hand how things are panning out.
Now if somehow I were granted a key… 
One thing I’ve been wondering… where’s Scatter Shot gone? If they’ve moved it to a baseline ability (where it should have been all along), then I’ll be beside myself. Anyone in the beta, or know someone who is, that can confirm this?
Inquiring minds want to know.
So I went to log on a moment ago, but realized my authenticator was M.I.A. It seems my 3 year old has made off with it and stashed it with other special belongings. I know he’s guilty, because he’s displayed a fondness towards it for several weeks now. He was also seen playing with it tonight along with a 4GB data stick – both of which he placed back on my desk when asked, yet are mysteriously absent now…
I’m thinking he pulled a fast one when dad went to the fridge seeking liquid refreshment…
Good thing I’m not too addicted to this game.
I’ll shake him down tomorrow.
Gnome Hunters in Cataclysm
Who else would like to see this happen..? Minus the contamination (lol… I felt this screenie of me as a Leper Gnome was fitting for this post), how many of you would like to be able to roll a Gnome hunter..? I know at least one of you wants to see this happen, but I’m willing to bet there are quite a few of you out there.
The following is an article I received from one of my hunter brethren, arguing in favor of letting the most diminutive race in the game eat at the hunter table.
So without further ado… take it away Bob…
WHY NOT GNOMES?
Like most, if not all, of the people who visit this site, I play the coolest class in the game…..hunter. My Horde hunter is an Orc. My Alliance hunter is a Dwarf. My problem is that I can’t choose to have my hunter be a Gnome.
I love everything about the Gnome race in WoW. From the lore, to their animation, to how the gear looks on them. I have a Gnome warrior, DK and mage. When I decided to eat at the big boy table and roll a hunter I was devastated to learn that I could not roll a Gnome hunter. Nevertheless, my headstrong desire to get going and blasting the bejeezus out of bad guys caused me to pick the next shortest race to suit my needs and off I went. [read the rest of this entry…]
…will you be adding to your stable in Cataclysm?
With the proposed change to stable slots, hunters will now be able to keep a stable of 25 pets. We’ll have 20 slots available via the stable master, plus another 5 (it looks like) in our on-demand stable.
I’m so stoked over this change, I can’t tell you. It’s not that I need 25 pets, I just want to be able to have more than 5.
For example… right now I more or less have a 4 slot stable, because I have one pet, my Grimtotem Spirit Guide, that I’ll never ever get rid of. This leaves me with 4 slots, which is plenty for a lot of hunters, but me… I’m a pet maniac. [read the rest of this entry…]
I banged out a couple of new GarsNotes guides today.
Hunter Gems & Hunter Enchants
Look ‘em over and tell me what you think.
In going with the GarsNotes theme, the guides are explanatory and informative, but without finite analysis so as to keep them relatively brief.
I had about 5 other things I should could have been doing today, but I felt like I needed to give the site some love. I’ve been preoccupied and absent a bit a lately, so I figured I needed to give my hunter faithful some attention.
Hope you enjoy the guides.
