BM PvP Guide – Part 3: Shot priority and other ponderings

February 23, 2010

Welcome to the long overdue latest installment of my series on BM PvP. This post was actually scratched out in December, but never quite finished. Anyway, I revisited it, added a couple things, groomed it a little bit, and voila! A new post!
So, without further ado… let’s get to it.
While not as cut [...]

Beast Mastery PvP Spec Redux

January 13, 2010

So last you heard from me, I was getting ready to try out a Core Hound for use in arena. To bring some of you up to speed, my only arena team this past season has been a 2v2 with a Ret Paladin. I like 2v2 because it only requires one other person, and in [...]

BM PvP Guide – Part Two: Pets

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 [...]

Goodbye Talonstrike, I hardly knew you

December 11, 2009

I never would have imagined that after spending 10 months with nothing higher than an ilvl 213 ranged weapon, I’d upgrade Talonstrike in just over two months. It’s a small upgrade, but a decent one nonetheless.
After about 5 unsuccessful attempts on Lady Deathwhipser this past Tuesday, our 10 man returned the following night, sharper and [...]

Despite my huge PvPness

December 11, 2009

…I finally just got the Black War Bear mount last weekend.
In fact, the only Horde city raid I’d ever participated in was at level 70 when we attacked Silvermoon and wiped with Theron at 2%. Since then, I’ve wanted this achievement, but for whatever reason was never able to find a group for it. When [...]

More News from the Other Side

November 30, 2009

Since life outside the game has compromised my raid availability the past few weeks, I’ve been doing most of my Huntering on my low level Orc. I gotta tell you though… 40-49 BGs are a refreshing change from the end game grind. I’m also really starting to enjoy this whole PvP server atmosphere. It adds [...]

Hunter With a Blue Dress On

November 27, 2009

Or is that purplish..? Hard to tell…
When I rolled this character it was out of desire to explore the lore and different zones from a Horde point of view. While I have done my share of that, I’ve actually been having more fun just wreaking havoc in Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin.
Last night I had [...]

Another Reason I Went Back to Beast Mastery for PvP

November 17, 2009

Bleh… no way am I going to roll with that as a pet.
Spider is one of the few pet types I’ve never used. For one, they used to suck up until Blizzard gave them their Web ability. Second, they just never remotely appealed to me as far as looks are concerned. Also, my wife’s not [...]

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 [...]
