Note: we still have DPS slots available on the Wyrmfoe raid team (full on hunters). In particular we’d love to see a fury warrior, rogue, feral druid, or warlock but any dps that’s not a hunter is welcome to apply on the Wyrmfoe Website. Wyrmfoe hit up our first couple of training raids on Friday, [...]

Blizzard had another developer twitter that gave us a wee bit of hunter new. Nothing big here, and most of it can be summed up with “Good things in Cataclysm.” Q. Can you please explain why Feign Death is still on the Spell Hit metric, especially in raids? A. It’s a known issue, but just [...]
As long-time reads of the WHU probably already know, I’m a big fan of paying yer dues. In PUGs that often means doing less dps than you could be doing to avoid pulling aggro. The new Dungeon Finder has more people than ever grouping up for randoms, which means we’re seeing more bad tanks than [...]
The Wyrmfoe raid team will be hitting its first raid tonight, and I find myself filled with glee. For our very first raid with the new team we aren’t doing anything hard — heck, we’re not even doing anything challenging. Our goal for tonight is not to push progression or get phat loots, but instead [...]
The second half of my ICC hunter loot extravaganza is now up at WoW.com. This week we’re going to dive in headfirst and dig through the piles of boss loot and see what gear comes out on top. So join me after the cut as we take a look at Quel’delar, the Ashen Verdict rings, [...]
It’s not really hunter-related, but I just posted an article on WoW.com explaining how drop chance probability works, and included a little calculator tool. The misunderstanding of probability regarding drop chances (well, and theorycraft in general) has always been a pet peeve of mine, so it felt good to get it all out. You can [...]
Shortly after logging in today I hit up the random heroic with a Wyrmfoe guildmate to get my 2 Emblems of Frost. But these weren’t any 2 emblems — they were the two that brought me up to 95 emblems and allowed me to get my Ahn’kahar Blood Hunter’s Headpiece… and the 2-piece bonus that [...]
We recorded this Podcast some time ago, and I don’t actually remember what we talked about. If Euripides is to be believed, we discussed the crit cap, the hunter song, and some email stuff (and we’ve been getting a lot of email lately). But don’t take his word for it, don’t even take mine, listen [...]
Click to Embiggen I sometimes have problems with tact. Particularly when I become engrossed in explaining something I tend to get really focused on my logic and fail to realize what I’m saying.
Reviewed 8/26/10 Patch 3.3.5 OUTDATED Note: See the Patch 4.0.1 MM Guide for updated information on talents, rotations, and glyphs for the post 4.0.1 hunter. There is no longer and armor pen build. With the ascension of armor pen available on ICC gear, it’s time to take a good look at how the MM hunter [...]
