So apparently I’m not great under pressure. Knowing that this video would end up on the WHU if we were successful, my hands were literally shaking as we started the first pull. This same nervousness resulted in a few sloppy pulls, though luckily the nerves calmed by about the first boss.  So in advance, while [...]

Wee BM Buff

Posted: by Frostheim in Blue Posts

As mentioned in blue responses to the inital BM buff, Beast Within mana changed: The Beast Within now reduces the mana costs of all spells by 50% for 10sec. (Up from 20%) Now big red pet is further boosting mana efficiency. This change is nice, sure, but doesn’t really do much to change the overall [...]

Glory of the Hero

Posted: by Frostheim in Hrist

I think we can agree that there’s nothing challenging about any of the heroics in the game with the gear levels we all have access to. No heroic boss is remotely hard – but now that we need to do the daily heroic constantly to get our Emblems of Triumph we see this same old content over [...]

Without question Violet Hold gave me more trouble than any other soloing project to date. Part of it was the timing requirement — if you don’t kill the adds (and bosses) fast enough more of them spawn. And part of it is that I’m only able to solo about half the potential bosses – so [...]

Frostheim’s Power Auras

Posted: by Frostheim in General

In any given week I’ll get at least one email asking for my Power Aura settings – many more than that if I mentioned Power Auras in a blog or posted a video. And after the Hunter Addons Guide post on Friday, the requests have gotten a little crazy.  So I’m finally putting them up here [...]

T9 Set: Moar Awesomer

Hunter Tier-9 2-Piece Set Bonus: Critical damage from Serpent Sting will now work properly with the Mortal Shots and Expose Weakness talents. Some of your points have been pretty convincing and have been taken into consideration. While this is more of a design change vs. a bug, I have found that it should in fact [...]

Hunter Addons Guide

Posted: by Frostheim in General

Reviewed 9/11/09 Patch 3.2 In this guide we’re going to take a look at the essential hunter addons – the addons that every hunter should have. I’ve used a lot of hunter addons over the years, and one thing I’ve found is that a big patch is best test of an addon there is. When [...]

BM Buff in Patch 3.2

Posted: by Frostheim in Blue Posts

The Beast Within now lasts 10 sec (Down from 18 sec) but now also increases all damage you deal by 10% at all time. Bestial Wrath now lasts 10 sec. (Down from 18 sec) It should be no surprise to anyone who has been on these boards for long that we’re trying to chill out [...]

Secret Addon

Posted: by Frostheim in General

As part of Hrist and my goal of fine tuning our 10-man raid group to defeat the Lich King, I recently got an awesome new addon, which I am keeping secret from our raid group. So don’t tell them any of this. The addon is a new version of Failbot, called EnsidiaFails. I cannot overstate [...]
