No Tank, No Problem.

January 16, 2011 by Garwulf

Terrorpene ain’t ‘fraid o’ no Galv. No tanks were around, so I turned on growl, dropped my Battle Standard, threw up a Mend Pet and put Terrorpene in the game. At 84, he handled Galv like a champ with only minimal support. Had the shaman not shown up when they did, I doubt he would have made it through the …

I missed the memo

After killing this blasted weed 12 times over for these shoulders, I was so flipping happy when Razorlash finally coughed them up.

That was until I logged in on this toon post patch 4.0.3a…

Normally I’m on top of this sort of stuff, but lately I’ve been spread a little thin and must’ve missed the mention about Maraudon having its level requirement reduced. 😡

Prior to this week’s patch, Phytoskin Spaulders were just below the BoA shoulders in terms of best-in-slot for 49 hunters. Now they’re just a stopgap item for rogues, feral druids and hunters while leveling through their 30’s.

GarUI: Some misc notes and fixes

November 19, 2010November 17, 2010 by Garwulf

This latest version of my user interface was created with an emphasis on PvP. I removed the internal cooldown timers, as well as some of the other DPS min/maxing buff and target debuff notifications.

The information I added this time around is specifically geared towards monitoring buffs and debuffs during PvP play. I also tried to minimize things even further to create a larger field of view.

That said, it’s still quite viable for raiding, but it’s not tailored for it.

Getting Battle-Ready: More BM PvP notes

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.

Some quick BM PvP notes

October 18, 2010 by Garwulf

It’s not as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it’s actually a pretty beastly build for PvP right now – no pun intended. 😉 I still have a ways to go in terms of getting more proficient with the build and new resource system, but I see glimpses of promise. I admit, I do miss the immunity portion …
