Raiding

Hunter DPS Pets

August 2, 2010

I published a new guide today on DPS pets, ie: PvE pets for raiding, heroics, etc… One of my most viewed posts on the site is one about the 16 point Ferocity pet build, so rather than update the old-ass post, I instead elected to draw up a more comprehensive GarsNotes guide for it. In [...]

May 25, 2010

The following entry is a reader submitted article sent in by PingHansen. I don’t use targeting macros all that often, but I felt that this post would be of value to many of my readers out there. Well done Ping! Raiding ICC can be a bit overwhelming at times. In order to cut down on [...]

Anariell returns

May 4, 2010

The cat came back…. Well, not really…but in a way? Yes… But we’ll get to that in a moment. After a series of unfortunate events I was left without WoW for a good…oh, three months. Yeah, heart breaking I know. I bet you feel my pain. It wasn’t just that though… As well as having [...]

4 Druids and none of them needed it

April 29, 2010

…so I went for it. At only 25 DKP, I considered it a steal. This is of course, Distant Land – one of thee best weapons available for feral druids, and actually not too shabby for hunters either. It drops off of Festergut in 25 man ICC. I’ll tell you what… if they changed the [...]

Here’s a busier one

April 29, 2010

Seems a few of you want to see what my clean UI looks like once it’s thrust into a raid situation. Here’s a screenshot from a 10man VoA PuG last night. Nearly everything is visible in this shot. You can even see two of my Power Auras. The white Power Aura is the one I [...]

Hunter Tanking ICC: Darnavan

March 23, 2010

Well we’re back and we’re randomly tanking things in ICC today. For those who have had the opportunity to do most of the weekly ICC quests, arguably the most annoying one is Lady Deathwhisper’s. Done in a conventional way, you remove an entire player from your team to go OT/babysit Darnavan, to keep him alive [...]

March 12, 2010

Ahh… ICC is a marvelous thing, every encounter a new mechanic, every encounter a different way for a hunter to shine! Today I’ll be talking about one of the ideal bosses to plop a hunter on as tank, Prince Keleseth. Prince Keleseth is one of the three Blood Princes, and the only one that doesn’t [...]

Hunter Set Bonuses

March 5, 2010

Frostheim’s put together a fantastic analysis of hunter set bonuses in his Scattered Shots column over at WoW.com. For those of you curious as to which set bonuses to go for, this is a must read. I imagine most of you are familiar with his work over there, but if not, do yourself a favor [...]

Hit Rating

March 1, 2010

This is a topic I’ve covered many times in the past, but I feel compelled to revisit it today. Why, you ask..? It’s been brought to my attention that many hunters these days are grossly exceeding the hit cap, and therefore are wasting precious DPS. I figure this is due to a few reasons… The [...]
