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. [...]

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, [...]

Marksman Guide Revisited

December 4, 2009

After reviewing some thought provoking comments and doing some careful analysis (in other words, running builds through femaledwarf.com), I’ve gone back and updated my Marksman Hunter Raiding Guide.
I’ve updated my pet build slightly after one of my readers suggested I look at Wild Hunt again as opposed to Shark Attack. The DPS gain was very [...]

Marksman Hunter Basics

December 2, 2009

Although I haven’t posted in a few days, I assure you I have been busy working on the blog behind the scenes.
Yesterday I stealthily published my 2nd installment of Hunter raiding guides – this one being for Marksmanship. I intended to post a mention of this, but I didn’t budget my time well yesterday. I [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Profiting From Survival

October 3, 2009

As I’d mentioned earlier, I decided to go Survival once I ditched Beast Mastery as my PvP spec. Oddly enough, at this same time I also elected to go Survival for raiding as well. This may sound strange to those of you who follow the site, because I’d stated a few times in the past [...]

Just What I Needed

September 28, 2009

…another Spirit Beast, but I couldn’t let you guys have all the fun…

Even though taming Skoll is probably one of the last things I needed to do, I couldn’t resist. However, this will most likely be the last I see of him for awhile.
I just finished respeccing SV for raids, so now I just have [...]

Armor Penetration Nerf Incoming

September 5, 2009

Yesterday evening Ghostcrawler announced in the Damage Dealing forum that a nerf to Armor Penetration was likely going to be on the horizon for Patch 3.2.2. The news wasn’t received so well by the forum community, and as a result, the thread has reached 13 pages. Needless to say, we’re not talking about 13 pages [...]
