I Like The Chimaera For PvP

I leveled my Chimaera to 80 last week and began using him in arena and battlegrounds. So far, it’s a pretty good choice for me since I’m keeping the 51pt BM talent and I’m running double and triple-dps combos. The ranged slow is great for keeping our opponents locked down so that my melee partner(s) can go to work on …

Spirit Strike has a new look

Old news I know, but I found this screenshot I took that looked pretty nifty. I knew something was different about Spirit Strike last week, which is why I ss’d it. I didn’t see any mention of it in the patch notes though. Apparently with 3.08, Spirit Strike was given a new spell animation. Sadly, Loque’nahak’s still trailing in DPS …

I’m still here, I swear

I feel bad about having only updated this site once in the past few weeks. Truth is, I’ve been busier than a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest. My time on the computer has been soaked up by working on other websites – some of them my projects, and some for clients. Whenever I’d sit down and think about updating this blog, I’d think “forget this, I’m gonna play instead”.

However, one of my late resolutions this year is to keep this site updated on a regular basis with interesting stories, helpful information and resources. While I’m not hardcore like BRK or some of the other number-crunchers out there, I do have some knowledge, input, and ideas that I intend to continue sharing. Since I’m not an active raider, don’t expect to see any dps comparison spreadsheets or anything like that. The main thing I care about is whether I can kill my opponent before they kill me. Don’t get me wrong… I like to maximize my dps for raids and so forth, but I’m more interested in the PvP side of things than achieving 5.32% more dps on my next Naxx run.

With the recent changes to Hunters, it remains to be seen how much time I’ll actually want to spend playing Garwulf (that is until they undo some of these excessive nerfs). I intend to stay Beast Mastery because it’s my favorite spec and it’s what Gar’s always been for the most part. I’ve played the other specs, but call it my dorky role-playing side or whatever, Garwulf is and always will be a Beast Mastery Hunter. Even if I considered re-speccing I wouldn’t now that I have Loque’nahak.

Garwulf’s checklist

Level Skinning to 450 – Easy peasy lemon squeezy… achieved this in the first or second day. Level Leatherworking to 450 – 443 at the moment. Last few points are going to be a b@#%h. Level Cooking to 450 – … sigh. I really wanted Iron Chef, but then I realized I was a mere mortal. No server firsts for …
