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 [...]

Hunter Basics: Explosive Shot

February 8, 2010

Explosive Shot is the signature ability of the survival tree. However, I often find that many hunters are unaware of how and when to properly use it, especially in the event of a Lock and Load proc.
Until Kill Shot becomes available (once the kill target is at or below 20% health), Explosive Shot is the [...]

Deathbringer’s Will

February 3, 2010

Greetings again all you intrepid hunters. With your permission I’ll be sidestepping my usual exotic hunter tanking topics to discuss the much more mainstream subject of hunter DPS. The focus of today’s journey is a little toy I managed to snag a couple weeks ago, the trinket, Deathbringer’s Will.
For those of you in the know, [...]

So… Why didn’t I get a raid invite?

January 20, 2010

As a raid leader, part of my job is to choose who comes on a raid and who sits in Dalaran waiting in the random heroic PuG queue.
At first glance, this sounds like a glamorous job that everyone should aspire to in the game of WoW. I almost always get to go on the raid. [...]

Of Spirit Beasts and Wolves

December 22, 2009

I saw this post late last night in the WoW Damage Dealing Forum, but was too tired to comment on it at the time.
The spirit beasts are not the real issue from our perspective. We think spirit beasts are doing fine and we don’t want them to be the only choice for BM hunters since [...]

DPS – From a tank’s perspective

December 20, 2009

Recently, I have been neglecting my hunter somewhat. I know… Ten lashes for Lehyton!
Lately, I have really enjoyed tanking with my Paladin. Plus, I have found that learning to tank properly has improved my overall gaming skills and understanding of encounters significantly.
The most important first principle of tanking is to stay alive. That cardinal virtue [...]

Meet Lehyton, aka Lehypally

December 20, 2009

My name is Lehyton, and I am honored to have the opportunity to contribute to my favorite go-to place for Hunter info. Garwulf has seen something in my WoW background and experience that might be useful to a few of you, and I just hope that he is correct about that!
First, a little about me. [...]

Gear Score vs. Skill

December 18, 2009

Names have been obliterated to protect the innocent. The subject we’re about to tackle is fraught with misconceptions, half-formed opinion and occasionally a self-satisfied, self-serving attitude that’s both completely unjustified and (in the worst cases) completely silly.
We’re talking gear score vs. skill. Here’s the typical trade post: “LFM 25 ONY MUST HAS MIN 2500 GEAR [...]

Sacrifices

December 17, 2009

We all have to make them sometimes. I’m on WoW hiatus until I get things dialed in around here.
Sorry < Clan Destined >, but I should be back sometime this weekend.

This made me … I love the “Dear Garwulf” part.

Tamarlane, Night Elf Hunter

December 16, 2009

Hey there, I’m Tamarlane of the guild Omen, from the Lightninghoof server, and I’m going to be writing the occasional article on end game raiding, with a specific focus on hunter DPS optimization. While not all of my articles will focus on this specific topic, this is my general area of interest within the game, [...]
