Hunter Pet Retrospective: Broken Tooth

Hunters who have been around awhile will definitely recall the significance of this rare cat. Long before Northrend, prior to the portal opening to Outland, and back when not all pets were created equal, there was one that stood out above all the rest. This pet possesses the most average looks, some might even say it has a homely appearance, …

Hunter Pet Retrospective: Arash-ethis

Last week I was feeling a little sentimental about those pieces of gaming code we Hunters call pets. In order to go after King Krush I had to abandon what was one of my all-time favorite pets – my Wind Serpent, “TROGDOR”. This was a sad moment for me, but I had no other choice. He had to go. I …

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.

Tips and Advice For Hunters Seeking Loque’nahak

Since I have yet to tame him, I am by no means offering a blueprint for success. However, after spending probably a collective 30-35 hours (at least) looking for him, I have a few pieces of advice that may help others. Update: With so many high level Hunters after Loque, new information is filtering in daily it seems. Most notably …
