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 [...]

Time to bring the pain

January 2, 2010

Coincidentally, just after posting my thoughts on BM PvP pets, I’ve finally decided to try out a Core Hound for arena.
I’d been contemplating the idea for awhile now, ever since I’d first heard about pets getting the hunter’s full resilience, but I just couldn’t justify using one over a Chimaera. However, after hitting our proverbial [...]

December 22, 2009

This is without a doubt the best looking 2H I’ve ever acquired. Now I just gotta toss some gems in ‘er, throw on a Titanium Weapon Chain and she be all set.
I’m happy.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Patch 3.3 aka the “Pet Buff Patch”

October 7, 2009

Blizzard released some updated patch notes for Patch 3.3 today. Wow… there are some amazing changes in store for Hunters, both for PvE and PvP.
Let’s discuss these things shall we…
First off, pets will now be inheriting 100% of their master’s resilience. That is an absolute godsend for Hunter PvP. Along with a few of the [...]
