Grandpappy Frostheim on Traps

Posted: by Frostheim in General

Today at WoW.com, a history of hunter traps and why hunters these days have no appreciation for this ability and how good they’ve got it: Young hunters these days got no appreciation for their traps. One of the signature abilities in the hunter toolbox, thematically appropriate, and stronger and easier to use than any time [...]

Wooooohoooooooo New Gun!

Posted: by Frostheim in General

Last night we took down heroic Blood Queen for the third time, and she finally dropped the beauteous, lovely, delightful and uncommonly good-looking  Heroic Stakethrower. The best gun available in the game (outside of arena ranked stuff). Over vent Hrist said, “Huh, there’s some stupid gun on here.” And then promptly looted it to the [...]

Here it is, the video for the WHU Level 19 hunter event! Remember, any dwarven hunter can join the WHU Guild and the next event will be in about a month, this time with the new level cap of level 30.

Stacking cooldowns

Posted: by Frostheim in General

Over at wow.com (technically late last night — I hate it when my stuff gets scheduled for so late in the night) a discussion on stacking cooldowns and procs. We’ve talked about this concept before here at the WHU, but it might be interesting to know that this is a fleshed out version of the [...]

We started in Kharanos, as always, and made our way up to Ironforge where we stopped to pay our respects to King Bronzebeard. We had some issues getting decent shots with [...]

Hunters and Pistols

Posted: by Frostheim in General

Today over at WoW.com, a discussion of hunters and pistols, and how pistols can fix an area of the hunter class that very much needs to be fixed. The idea of hunters dual-wielding pistols has been around since the beginning of WoW. The reason it keeps coming up is because it’s frickin’ awesome. It was [...]

In-Game Event Tomorrow

Posted: by Frostheim in General

Just a reminder that the WHU level 19 hunter in-game event will be happening tomorrow, 6pm server time (Icecrown (US), WHU guild). It’s open to all dwarven hunters level 1 – 19; however, I highly encourage everyone to level up to 19 it at all possible in preparation for the most hated opponent we have [...]
