Thinking Out Loud: Catlike Reflexes

August 13, 2009

Let me begin by saying that I absolutely love some of the Hunter changes introduced in 3.2, especially from a Beast Master’s standpoint. The reworked Animal Handler has been a godsend. While the auto-capping of expertise for pets has indirectly buffed all Hunters, BM really made out when Blizzard decided to replace the now-unnecessary expertise [...]

Patchy Goodness

August 5, 2009

Well, what do you guys think of the patch so far?
I don’t have too much to report. My evening consisted mostly of battlegrounds, including a rough series of games in which the Alliance acted as if Warsong Gulch was a new BG introduced in 3.2. It wasn’t until my fifth WSG that I finally got [...]

The Future of Beast Mastery

July 27, 2009

Lots of rumblings in the Hunter community over the past week due to the blue posts in the Official WoW Hunter Forum. Last week Ghostcrawler responded to a host of questions concerning plans for Hunters in 3.2 and beyond.
As expected, a lot of the answers were fairly vague and non-committal, which is what we usually [...]

The Hunt For Skoll

July 8, 2009

…continues. Well at least I got to see him on the PTR today for the first time.

Yaone of Lightbringer had posted earlier this morning about taming him at the Snowdrift Plains location. I saw the comment and I figured I’d log on and make a quick swoop while I was thinking about it. [...]
