Hrist and I had a long phone conversation yesterday about the progress of our 10-man raid. The big problem that we’re having right now is that we have some very occasional players, and we need at least one of them to show up to have a full group. And of course we need every single [...]

At heart, I am a raiding hunter. I make some time for extreme soloing, but I’ll never be a hardcore pvper. My best arena ranking was only around 1680, and while I like to hit the pvp from time to time for some funs, I do not think I’ll ever be qualified to write about [...]
The following are the best gem choices and gear enchants for a Beastmaster tanking build. Our primary focus is attack power and stamina. Hit gems can also be used to reach the hit cap, which is 7% for Northrend heroic instances. The suggestions below assume that you are hit capped. If not, feel free to [...]
I used to work for a major table top game publisher, and while I was there I had the privilege of working with some very talented game designers (one of them was actually my roommate for a time). It was always interesting listening them talk about game design and theory – they took it all [...]
I don’t normally repost videos, but I figure this is fun enough that everyone should see it. The music video Do You Want to Date My Avatar is pretty much a promotional/fundraising piece for The Guild – brainchild of geek goddess Felician Day (probably best known for her starring role in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog). [...]
Majordomo Executus is an intimidating foe for the solo hunter facing him for the first time. After finishing off the other bosses, you go up to his platform to find him with no fewer than eight adds, all lined up. However, the fight is completely manageable for a well-specced solo hunter.

Sulfuron the Harbinger was always my guild’s bane back in vanilla days. No matter how long we had MC on farm, chain-pulling, every now and then we’d lose our mojo and wipe on him four times in a row, mostly due to problems with pulling the priests out of range of the other healers. So [...]
For whatever reason, Shazzrah doesn’t really stick out in my mind from my vanilla days of raiding Molten Core. He was never really hard or time consuming, just the boss that comes after Baron Geddon. I don’t even remember all of his abilities. He’s pretty much equally easy and forgettable when it comes to hunter [...]
With both his aoe firestorm and random targeted shadow bolts, Gehennes presents the first real challenge for the Molten Core soloing hunter.

Ah, Magmadar, the big loveable puppy. Never a hard boss even in vanilla days, but our very first (and at one time only) use for Tranquilizing Shot! Mags is a nice easy hunter solo.
