December 29, 2009

In part two of my Beast Mastery PvP guide, I’m going to discuss BM PvP pets and ways to spec them. Here we go…
Beast Mastery PvP Pets
Part of the benefit to investing 51 points into the Beast Mastery tree is the ability to tame exotic pets. Although currently they’re so-so for PvE, the PvP benefits [...]

Assembling a raiding Beast Master

December 24, 2009

Hello readers and happy holidays! I hope you are all having a relaxing break, and don’t have a multitude of ruffians that are in your charge for the next week or so until their mothers come back and claim them. Obnoxious, rowdy ruffians who continuously want to play Pokémon with you and will not leave [...]

The Verdict

October 20, 2009

Special thanks to Kazador for helping me with a title for this post. Not only have I rewritten this post like 5 times, but I’d cycled through at least ten different titles in the meantime. Today’s just been one of those days where I can’t seem to focus. When I saw your comment, I thought [...]

Taking One for the Team

October 13, 2009

Ironic huh… Only a few short weeks have passed since I swore off Beast Mastery, yet here I am returning to my beloved PvP spec.
This time’s it’s business though. A few guildies and I started a 3s team mainly for fun, but after getting our asses handed to us the other night, it wasn’t so [...]

My Survival Guide to Surviving in PvP as a Survival Hunter: Part One

October 5, 2009

Say that five times fast…
I’ve specced Survival for PvP in the past, but never for very long. However, once BM was laid to rest last week, I decided to jump ship and become an explosives expert. Since there may be other displaced BM PvPers like myself, I figured I’d provide a glimpse at my spec, [...]

Profiting From Survival

October 3, 2009

As I’d mentioned earlier, I decided to go Survival once I ditched Beast Mastery as my PvP spec. Oddly enough, at this same time I also elected to go Survival for raiding as well. This may sound strange to those of you who follow the site, because I’d stated a few times in the past [...]

Patch Day

September 23, 2009

This about sums up how I felt after participating in one WSG and one Wintergrasp battle as a BM Hunter.
The reality of the change was about what I’d expected, but I was still holding out hope that maybe it actually wouldn’t be quite as bad as I’d previously thought. Sadly, It was as predicted… a [...]

Beast Mastery Changes: Acceptance and Ponderings

September 13, 2009

Rather than continue my diatribe against the probable upcoming changes to the Beast Mastery tree, I’ve decided to shift my focus towards finding ways to adapt to the new mechanics.
First, let’s rewind a bit and recap this week’s announcement(s) and the ripple effect it had at HuntsmansLodge.com…
On Wednesday, MMO Champion posted news of a change [...]

Raid Ready: Serpent Sting

September 3, 2009

As a marksman hunter, one of the shots you are going to have on your target at all times is Serpent Sting.
Useful Glyphs With Serpent Sting (all are self explanatory for the most part):

Glyph of Arcane Shot – Your Arcane Shot refunds 20% of its mana cost if the target has one of your [...]
