Cross-Battlegroup Battlegrounds?!

June 12, 2010June 11, 2010 by Garwulf

I’ve just learned that come Cataclysm, battlegrounds will no longer be limited to servers from a particular battlegroup, but rather, a region. I mean… holy s**t!

From the Official WoW Forums:

We’re currently expecting both normal and rated battlegrounds to be cross-battlegroup (within a region) for the launch of Cataclysm. So, players queueing from anywhere in north america (for example) could play vs players on any north american battlegroup, etc. This applies to all regions, not just north america.

Also, read this post over at WoW.com.

That is freaking amazing!

This means that queues will be popping like mad and we’ll have opportunities to encounter players from all of the battlegroups within our respective regions. I can’t wait!

Choosing a Hunter PvP Pet

September 23, 2011June 4, 2010 by Garwulf

Please click this link for an updated Cataclysm version of this guide. Ever wonder which pets are the best for Hunter PvP..? Well, hopefully this guide will help. In my tradition of not being capable of doing anything small, I created a comprehensive guide (it began as a post) on recommended hunter PvP pets. I figured since I’ve been doing …

An old friend

June 5, 2011June 1, 2010 by Garwulf

Last week I went to the cave at Fungal Rock in Un’Goro Crater to reunite with an old friend. Uhk,Loc, or Mongo as I refer to him, was not there when I arrived. The next day however, I found him waiting patiently right as I logged in. 🙂

He’s been one of my all-time favorite pets, with this being the fourth timed I’ve tamed him over the years. Each time I’ve let him go it’s been a tough decision, but I always do so with the notion that I’ll probably be back to call upon him again at some point.

Fun with Disengage

November 22, 2011May 19, 2010 by Garwulf

Last week, Frost put together a really great video tutorial demonstrating the jump-Disengage technique. If you haven’t yet seen it, I highly recommend spending a few minutes to view it. Being able to master this technique is a huge advantage for a hunter, both in PvE and PvP.

There’s also another little nifty use for Disengage that you may not be aware of. As long as you’re in combat when you do it, you can jump from ridiculous heights and land unscathed by way of Disengage.

Here… I’ll show you how.

Garwulf Cheats Death: Using Disengage to Avoid Fall Damage

If you can master this technique it will not only help you survive in a lot of situations, but it will no doubt get under your enemies’ skin, especially if they try to follow you down. 😈 Imagine the look on the person’s face as they stare at the corpse release button, while you’re busy mourning their death, teabagging their corpse, planting your flag in them, or w/e your thing is…

A change of pace

May 22, 2010May 19, 2010 by Garwulf

On the eve of my hacking, I decided to shake things up for a bit and respec to Marksmanship for PvP. My intention was to get out of my BM comfort zone for a few days and to also slap together some useful Power Auras for MM hunters.

Well, as many of you already know, I was mugged early the next morning. My account got hijacked, Blizz banned me for excessive gold transferring between accounts and locked me out for three days… good stuff. 😕

Anyhow, my 72 hour suspension eventually ended and although I’ve been left with a decimated raiding set, my PvP gear is still pretty much intact. With the exception of my Whispering Fanged Skull, all of my other pieces were bought with points and were unable to be vendored. Because of this, I’ve at least been able to hit the battlegrounds at full power.
