Man Down!

March 31, 2009

…or Hunter rather. This past Monday, BigRedKitty announced on his site that he was stepping away from the game.
BRK is on my short list of a half-dozen or so WoW related sites I like to peek at daily. There are some great WoW blogs out there, but I just simply do not have the time [...]

Power Auras Has Made My Awesome List

March 30, 2009

…of addons that you should probably obtain in order to enhance your gaming experience. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and I’ve found it to be a fantastic addon.
During my relentless pursuit of UI perfection, I decided to explore further the possibilities of Power Auras. I felt like I was merely scratching the [...]

My “New” 53/18/0 Beast Mastery Hunter Build

March 29, 2009

Prior to my guild’s 10 man Naxxramas run last week, I decided to respec ever so slightly. Normally I’m opposed to forsaking PvP talents for PvE ones, but in the crazily imbalanced and burst-happy world of Arena Season 5, I figured… eh, so what. I also thought it’d be nice to put out a little [...]

Hunter Pet Retrospective: Spiteflayer

March 29, 2009

Ah yes… Spiteflayer, the incredibly ugly, but also common looking vulture from the Blasted Lands. The average player would look at it and think, “why on earth would a Hunter choose a homely and annoying flying pet such as that one”? The answer was simple really.
Long before TBC, pets came with all sorts of different [...]

Important Hunter Discovery on the Patch 3.1 PTR

March 27, 2009

After hearthing to Dalaran this morning, I was greeted by this unattended and inviting Sandbox Tiger sitting just outside of A Hero’s Welcome. Since this was the first time I’d seen one, I had to give it a go. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! In other words, I’ll be back later with a real post once [...]

Talk About Close Calls!

March 25, 2009

How’s this for an edge of your seat, nail-biter of a finish. This screenshot is from a 25 Man Sartharion 1D PuG I was in on last night.

The last Flame Wave took out a good portion of the raid, freeing the adds and dropping the MT. I watched in horror as Sartharion started one-shotting the [...]

The Fall of Naxxramas… and Garwulf

March 24, 2009

Hunter Sacrifices Himself For Guild Progression
Our guild managed a full clear of Naxxramas 10 man this past week, which ended in a fairly anti-climactic defeat (for me anyway) of Kel’Thuzad last night. After getting him to 15% following three other unsuccessful attempts last Saturday, we returned to Naxx last night with our game faces on, [...]

We Want You

March 22, 2009

Yes folks, this would be my shameless guild promotion and recruitment post.
Clan Destined of Kul Tiras is currently actively recruiting all classes. We are looking to form a second 10 man raiding group, and hope to start fielding a 25 man group within the next month or two.
At present, our raiding schedule is fairly casual. [...]

Sapphiron’s Demise

March 22, 2009

What an exciting week in Naxxramas! Our guild toppled three new bosses in 10 man Naxxramas, including Sapphiron. I also managed to get my hands on some Hunter loot this week. Now that our Enhancement Shaman (who kills me on DKP) feels he’s adequately geared, he’s raiding with his Rogue alt. Finally I [...]
