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. [...]

Why Alchemy is better than you think

December 16, 2009

Alchemy is a great (and possibly the best) DPS profession because of one thing: versatility.
Alchemy offers opportunities to tailor your DPS output on the fly, fight to fight, even phase to phase, that no other profession can compete with, for example:
You’re fighting the Northrend Beasts, you blew your cooldowns on Gormokk right from the jump, [...]

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 [...]

Hunter Mentoring

November 2, 2009

Last week it occurred to me that I don’t have any all-encompassing build guides for raiding Hunters anywhere on the site. After helping three of our guild’s newer Hunters over the past two weeks with respecs, re-glyphs, and suggestions, I realized I’d probably save myself a lot of in-game time by having some guides on [...]

[2] [Garwulf]: WTB More Hours in a Day

October 29, 2009

So many topics and so little time…
I have loads of ideas for posts, but I just haven’t had as much time lately to blog. The few extra hours per week that I normally would spend blogging are now being spent in-game. Our guild’s been trying hard to progress through the Trial of the Crusader, and [...]

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 [...]

Patch Day

September 23, 2009

This about sums up how I felt after participating in one WSG and one Wintergrasp battle as a BM Hunter.
The reality of the change was about what I’d expected, but I was still holding out hope that maybe it actually wouldn’t be quite as bad as I’d previously thought. Sadly, It was as predicted… a [...]

Beast Mastery Changes: Acceptance and Ponderings

September 13, 2009

Rather than continue my diatribe against the probable upcoming changes to the Beast Mastery tree, I’ve decided to shift my focus towards finding ways to adapt to the new mechanics.
First, let’s rewind a bit and recap this week’s announcement(s) and the ripple effect it had at HuntsmansLodge.com…
On Wednesday, MMO Champion posted news of a change [...]

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 [...]
