I Acquired Crabs in Desolace

April 30, 2009

When I made the switch to Survival, I needed a new pet, so it was off to Desolace.
Why Desolace, you ask? Well, that’s because I needed a crab.
Now I bet you’re wondering why I didn’t just grab some random crab off the coast of Northrend and save myself the trouble of traveling all the way [...]

PvP Ramblings

April 29, 2009

I achieved this milestone last Saturday night. Most of the achievements are pretty silly, but this one is great. It boldly says, “you’ve been playing this game way too much”…
Actually, 50K over 3+ years is not really that hardcore, especially when you consider I’m a glutton for PvP. However, if you were to [...]

Dual Spec Harmony

April 25, 2009

After countless gold spent on respecs and re-glyphs, I have achieved Dual Spec harmony. In my quest for Patch 3.1 enlightenment, I have chosen to leave the troubled ways of Beast Mastery behind. I struggled with my inner doubts and questioned my devotion to the Tree of Nerfitude. In the end, I unlearned all of [...]

Hit That Mouth With Soap

April 25, 2009

Edit: 04/25/09
I created this post after a long night imbibing with friends, so it was perhaps a little too candid. Something set me off in game, so I just logged off and decided to vent. I toned it down a bit for the kiddies.
Parents need to seriously wake up and watch what the [...]

I May Be Mad, But I’m Not Crazy

April 23, 2009

That’s right. I know it’s shocking. I’ve been a Beast Mastery Hunter for over 3 years, but no more.
That is, at least until Blizzard fixes the spec. Once they realize BM is broken and apply the necessary buffs, I’ll be back on it like a hobo on a hot dog. Until then, the Blizz devs [...]

Hunter Hit Cap Perfection

April 23, 2009

…has been attained.

After Grobbulus gave me his Sealing Ring, I was able to swap out an enchant and a gem, resulting in Hunter Hit Cap Perfection!
Remember young Huntlets, 263 is the minimum you want to shoot for (without any points in Focused Aim). Don’t go 262, or your pet will only receive 7% hit. Unfortunately, [...]

Back to the Drawing Board

April 21, 2009

As some of you may have guessed if you’d read my previous post, I grew pretty bored with the BM spec I was trying for PvE. This whole dual spec thing is adding a whole new dimension of complexity to things, for me anyway. At first I loved the idea of dual speccing, but now [...]

Full Circle

April 20, 2009

Here are a couple of reasons why I went back to Beast Mastery this past weekend.

After probably 350G in respecs, another 150G or so for glyphs, and several hours of playing time, I’ve come full circle. I am a dual specialized Beast Master. 52/14/5 and 53/18/0.
When I first started playing WoW, I was immediately drawn [...]

Attention: Hunters Who Are Looking To Tame Gondria

April 17, 2009

As I’d previously mentioned in a comment somewhere on this site, there is a mod available that should greatly help in your search for Gondria, Loque’nahak, or any other rares you may be after. My buddy Blaquespell had alerted me to a mod which he found that makes searching for rare mobs quite a bit [...]

I’ve Settled On Marksman For Now

April 16, 2009

After going MM, SV and then MM again, I think I’m going to stay here for a bit. I’ve never been hugely fond of the Survival Tree, and since I mainly tend to do what I like, I elected to go Marksman for my second spec. The SV tree has evolved considerably over the years [...]
