My New Work Clothes

January 22, 2015 By Garwulf 12 Comments

Apart from my vanilla PvP set (which is essentially an instant mog makeover), I haven’t ever farmed a transmog set for Garwulf…until now.

Anyway, see what you think of my current raidwear…

Those of you who are like…wtf…why are you posting this transmog fluff and not talking about huntering in WoD..?! Truth is…I’ve been enjoying the expansion all too much. 😉 Not since TBC have I enjoyed the game this much.

I’ve got a few topics I’d like to discuss, so I’ll try to be back soon. In the meantime…I’m still active, I’m working on some updates, and I shall return! 🙂

Proving Yourself: Gold Damage

November 24, 2014 By Garwulf Leave a Comment

This was one of the more challenging things I’ve done in awhile, and what fun! After quite a few failed attempts – which usually had me frantically mashing buttons during the final seconds of the 10th wave – I finally managed to down the last Sha with barely a moment to spare. My ilvl 601 gear consisted of a few decent PvP items, a couple dungeon blues, and some quest gear. I used my standard BM build along with a cheap haste potion to get the job done.

After about 8 or 9 attempts that left me feeling a little inadequate, it finally occurred to me that the buffs that spawn during the encounter did not have to be used immediately.

/facepalm

If you’ve yet to attempt or complete this achievement, I’ll say it again…

WoD is Exceeding Expectations

There’s no UI update or new posts around here because I can’t log off long enough to work on the site. Blizzard over-delivered with this expansion, IMHO.

I’ll try to get the UI comp packaged and uploaded with the week, however.

And if any of you haven’t seen this treasure mod yet, please give it a try. It kinda feels like cheating, but it’ll do the job if you’re having difficulty acquiring resources for your Garrison.

You guys enjoying Warlords of Draenor?

Gar UI Compilation Update

November 17, 2014 By Garwulf 2 Comments

…is on its way!

Expansions are usually a time to vet addons since they often determine who’s keeping a project alive and who is not. A few of my core addons went stale, so I had to make a few changes, but I’ve got things just about situated and error-free.

Right before the opening of the portal I switched back to the default UI for a few days just to determine what I felt was essential, and yeesh…my hat’s off to those who rock that thing. I used to use it back in the day, but man…I can’t stand using it now. >_<

The most notable addon replacement was AZCastBar. I dumped that abandoned project in favor of Gnosis. Chatter also looks to be abandoned, so I went back to Prat for my chat mod.

Sadly, Capping looks to be retired as well, so I removed it, but I discovered this while looking at different PvP addons. The fact that this addon exists makes me feel so sorry for healers. :*(

I’ll have a much more complete post about all of this on the way, along with a repackaged and updated zip on WoWInterface, which I will hopefully get to later today or tomorrow. Hard part is logging off long enough to get to it!

This expansion has reignited my interest in the game crazy-style. I haven’t been this sucked in since Vanilla. Not sure if that’s good or bad, but it’s definitely fun!

Hunter Macros Updated for WoD

November 12, 2014 By Garwulf 5 Comments

I updated the Hunter Macros page so that everything is now current with Warlords. I removed all of the obsolete macros with retired abilities – including one I found in there with Wing Clip o.O – and I even added a few new ones that I’m using.

Next up… Gar UI update for WoD. I had to reconfigure a few things, remove a couple of addons and add a few new ones, but I’m just about ready to load it up to WoWInterface. I’ll try to have the latest version up on Wednesday, right before launch.

In the meantime, here are a couple of updated Hunter Weak Aura strings if you’re interested…

I know I have been very slow in updating the blog, but I am very much around. More to come…
