You know what I really, really need to do? I really need to make a list of every bug or maybe bug that I find and save it in a file somewhere. I report them all, of course, but I no longer remember what they all are, and when a new beta build is deployed [...]

The beta servers are still down, but MMO-C has a bunch of data-mined stuff from the new build. Not a whole ton of hunter info: Cobra Shot now increases the duration of Serpent Sting on the target by 6 sec. (Up from 3 sec) Bestial Wrath no longer costs focus. Keep in mind however that [...]
The Pet Design Pass Has Not Happened I’m getting flooded with questions about pets. What the new pet families are. What the new pet special abilities are. Related to this, a bit tangentially, is BM hunters in general. Interestingly I’m not getting questions about the stuff that I’m most curious about (stat transfer percentages & [...]
There’s a new beta build out, and so far… I haven’t been able to see any hunter changes. It’s possible that some are snuck in there that I missed of course, the list of hunter-related bugs is large right now (I’m sure for all classes it is) but I haven’t yet found anything that’s working [...]
Amidst all the beta craziness I have been lax in getting the second episode of Wipe Recovery cut together, but here it is! Our Raid Leadership Roles episode briefly goes over the main roles that you need in your raid: raid leader, loot master, healing captain, dps captain. We also talk a bit about Cataclysm [...]
I’ve heard some people talking about upgrading their endgame gear right out of the gate with Cataclysm greens. I haven’t yet seen any greens even close (though they all have more stamina), but I did get this cloak from the last boss in Blackrock Caverns which is darned close to as good as my Recovered [...]
Another Developer Twitter chat just came out — and I have to say it really seemed like they dodged a lot of questions, which I don’t really understand. Of the no doubt thousands of questions they get, why pick one to “answer” and then not answer it, or only partially answer it? Anyhow, here is [...]
This video gives you a good look at exactly what the MM shot rotation is looking like right now in the Cataclysm beta. For whatever reason there are still persistent rumors that the standard hunter rotation is focus-starved and worse off than in Wrath. This is not true. We hunters are getting off a better [...]
BRK of bigredkitty.net will be joining us on the Hunting Party Podcast tomorrow — Saturday at 5pm central time, and various other times at less central locations around the globe. We will be talking about the beta, as well as the beta, and more beta talk. Last time we talked to BRK on the show [...]
It’s the Hunting Party Podcast episode 40. We are officially middle-aged! In this show we talk lots and lots about the Cataclysm beta – most questions were about the beta as well as I recall. It’s Beta Delight. As always, here is the iTunes store link, the Hunting Party Podcast feed, and the direct XML [...]
