How can I get in touch with the WHU?
You can email Frostheim at: frostheim@warcrafthuntersunion.com
What server are you on?
Frostheim and Arust are on Alliance side of Icecrown.
How come some people have special tags like “Dues Payer” on their comments? How can I get that?
These user levels are assigned more or less arbitrarily to people who make a lot of comments that are insightful or entertaining, and on topic. Keep posting, and we may take notice.
If that isn’t fast enough for you, there is another route. Anyone who sends in a pic of themselves wearing something from the WHU Store (carrying a mug does not count) will be automatically upgraded.
Can you help me with my DPS?
Yes. In fact, that is one of the primary purposes of this site. The guides here on the WHU will cover all of the basics of what’s the best dps spec, talent builds, shot rotations, glyphs, gems, enchants, and more. Feel free to shoot us an email if you have a specific question about hunter mechanics or abilities.
Important– please, please, please for the love of all that is worthy do not send me an email saying “Can you look at my character and tell me what I’m doing wrong / how to improve my dps.” I’m not going to say anything different than what it says on this site. In fact, I’m not going to say anything at all. This is the one type of email that I will no longer respond to. It’s very time-consuming to review your profile and very frustrating to then just repeat everything that I’ve already said in all the WHU guides.
I think your guide is wrong and I heard somewhere that something else was better.
Here at the WHU we are big fans of science, and part of that means that we’re always happy to continually challenge our conclusions. Please feel free to post the theorycrafting or testing methodology and results and we’ll take a look. After all, we want to do the best dps too!
However, if your answer is “I read it on some forums or some other unspecified place on the internet” please don’t bother. Unless you have a scientific argument for why the guide is wrong, we can’t help. After all, if we just do the math over again, we’re going to come to the same conclusions we did in the first place.
Also if your answer is “I was doing heroics/raids/etc. one way and it was awesome and much better” then please don’t bother. Read the guide on how to measure your dps. Giving us anecdotal stories of your dps in a raid isn’t something that is reproduceable – which is one of the cornerstones of the scientific method.
What’s with the Reviewed and Accurate? It’s out of date / wrong / not accurate!
Here at the WHU we don’t just write a guide and then leave it sit for all eternity. We regularly review all of the guides and make sure they are still accurate. We hate looking up something online and finding out that it hasn’t been updated since Burning Crusades, and vowed that wouldn’t happen here.
The reviewed and accurate logo has a reviewed date underneath of it, so you know if the guide is or is not up to date. In general, we review all of the guides about every 3 months, or whenever a patch is released with changes to the hunter class. If it’s been over 3 months since a guide was reviewed, feel free to drop us an email and let us know we missed one!
Can I join your guild?
It’s possible. You can read about my and Hrist’s guild at the Wyrmfoe Website.
If I see you in game, can I ask you a question?
Certainly. Just check first with a /who frostheim to see if I’m in a raid or not! Every now and then I get tells from readers while in the midst of boss fights, and I feel bad that I cannot respond. Also be aware that I do spend a lot of time afk while doing other stuff so if I don’t answer right at first, feel free to ping me again in a few minutes.

I am an excellent PvP Hunter. I have strategies, talent builds, equipment recommendations, shot rotations and shot strategies, objective techniques, and combat theory that I’d like to compile into a PvP guide (or even section) for your site. I’d also like to do a joint-work guide with my fellow hunter buddy, focusing on the deadly stacking of two hunters working together in a BG.
What are my chances of getting that to happen?
the same chances of frost reading your post, probably
Philsco, please contact me at outdps@gmail.com- I’m looking for someone to guest write some hunter pvp guides and articles.
Nice Euripides
thats the way to get new writers, just steal them form other sites
ps. love the Podcast

I really enjoy this site as do the rest of the Hunters in my Guild. I just wanted to ask if there has ever been any talk of allowing MM or Survival Hunters to use the Spirit Beast. I know I would love to use mine in my Guild Raids. I feel with how hard they are to obtain, a exception should be made for those pets. Just my Opinion. Thanks again for all of the Great Hunter Info!!!

Frostheim just wanted to say, Thank you for a great site with well informed information for hunters. One thing I would like to ask, With the new dungeon finder and leveling with it, Would a survival build be better then a beast master build? If so what would be best while doing some random quests? Something along the lines of a pvp/pve mix?
hia just dinged my hunter to 80 couple of days ago and must admit i was lost as i did no dungeons during my lvling at all, stumbled on this site while in frustration searching web for info and must say i am very impressed.
after a few hours of reading and tweaking my hunter i now have steady good dps so my hat is off aswell for the imbaness that is this site and its creators, and thank you for your efforts.
will keep reading as there no doubt is more wisdom yet to receive from this site.
cheers

ok BIG BIG suggestion and request………
thanks for time.
My proffessions are minning and engineering wich minning is great for money and engy is great for pvp and convienience in day to day wow needs…..HOWEVER, i would like to know what proffessions would best benefit in reguards to DPS….. im thinking Jewlcrafting for use of the allowed (3) +34 agility gems in place of the +20’s. ALSO, Leatherworking for the arctic fur lining witch gives you like 130 added attack power in various armor’s…. please please please make a section for what proffesions are beest and what each proffession brings to the table for dps with hunters. Or u can just say it flat out.
this site is THE GREATEST hunter info page in on the net hands down
