Getting Battle-Ready: More BM PvP notes

October 18, 2010 By Garwulf 38 Comments

Hunter PvP in 4.0.1

This past weekend I finally felt ready to swallow some pride and go get my ass handed to me in some BGs. The result… I didn’t fare as bad as I thought I would. While I was by no means a “force” in the BGs, I didn’t feel like a punching bag either.

Although I’m still stumbling around trying to find my way, I feel like I’m headed in the right direction. The following are some tips and suggestions which I’d like to offer up, in hopes that they may help some of you overcome difficulties or trepidation. Albeit a humbling experience right now, competing in BGs is a great way to learn the 4.0.1 hunter and find out what your weaknesses are.

As I’ve mentioned, a lot of this info is subject to change in the coming weeks, but I’ll try to update as it does. In the meantime, these posts will be more like notes & progress reports, rather than guides. [Read more…] about Getting Battle-Ready: More BM PvP notes

Training Wheels

October 15, 2010 By Garwulf 43 Comments

Training WheelsJust as the old saying goes, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat”. In keeping with this belief, I offer you my version of how I’m adapting to the new hunter mechanics in 4.0.1…

Playing a hunter feels a lot more “frenzied” right now, as far as I’m concerned. Without a predictable resource system, we’re having to constantly make split-second decisions on which abilities to use and when. I imagine in time a natural rhythm will start to develop, but until then, we need to re-learn appropriate usage and prioritization of our abilities.

Since I’m a BM hunter at heart, I’ve elected to set out and make it the first spec I’ve decided to conquer. The following image is a demonstration of what I’ve done to help myself adjust to the new BM priority and hunter resource mechanics. [Read more…] about Training Wheels

The first two days of 4.0.1 & other thoughts

October 14, 2010 By Garwulf 38 Comments

I haven’t been able to do a whole heck of a lot, but here’s what’s gone on…

As mentioned in the previous post, I’ve decided to focus on Beast Mastery at the moment; wrapping my head around it, then focusing on MM & SV once I feel comfortable with BM.

The PvP spec I’m going to try looks like this: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#cfhfckGdRRoZh

I’m not saying this is a recommended BM PvP spec, but it’s what made sense to me – for BM anyway. As for glyphs, I haven’t gotten that far yet. [Read more…] about The first two days of 4.0.1 & other thoughts

I logged in again to try and further sort out my UI, macros and skill assignments – – now it’s all I can think about. 🙁

Good news for you guys I suppose. 🙂

I’ll try my best to see if I can make some headway tonight. I’ll be sure and offer up any helpful tips I should happen to discover or come across. [Read more…] about Bah!

I updated my addons

October 13, 2010 By Garwulf 5 Comments

…logged in, checked my mail, vendored my ammo, visited the trainer, did up some interim talents and whacked on a target dummy for about three minutes. That was about it.

I honestly hadn’t planned on bothering with 4.0.1 until I had some time to devote to it, but I decided to get on and make sure my UI wasn’t totally FUBAR after the patch.
