Rogue sap2010-03-26 00:00:00Actually i just looked this up again thats rank 4 which is a lot higher then my level, im lvl 39 so the rogues in BG shouldn't be able to do this then?!. They would only have a rank 2 so this shoulnt work. I have now checked rogue glyphs and the sap talent under subtelty and do not see any mention of being able to do this any earlier. So is this a bug?Well, actually, I guess it depends what level you are. I kinda assumed you were 70+ in Northrend.
Sap rank 4, gained at level 71 and the current highest rank, works on all types of targets mentio...
Street sweeper or recurve?2010-03-20 00:00:00As shenlongxz says in part, it depends on your spec and your gear.
A MM Hunter with only the 15 quiver/ammo pouch shot speed bonus will be able to weave Steady Shot in between auto-shots from the Recurve. A BM Hunter with 5/5 Serpent's Swiftness and the same 15 quiver/ammo pouch shot speed bonus will not be able to weave Steady Shot in between auto-shots from the Recurve, and thus the Street Sweeper is the better option.
Rapid Fire, Rapid killing, Troll Berserking, and other haste gear or enchantments should also be con...
Looking for advice from better hunters!!2010-03-09 00:00:00OK, here's the nice version. Replace all gear that doesn't have agility on it. Strength and Spirit are absolute crap and will do nothing for you whatsoever. Im assuming since your new you didn't know this. As far as your main weapon....wow, get an upgraded one! At 29 you should have at the very least a decent ranged weapon since thats your bread and butter. Your gloves are for lowbie druids not hunters, you don't need defense as your pet will be your defense. Make sure you train him with the most current level of growl, and also make sure its on at all times. If I were you I would make some money with your proffesions and buy of the monkey items. They will have agility and stam on them. are absolute cr...
New Hunter here; need some advice2010-03-04 00:00:00PsydonX wrote:1. Is it possible to do at least decent ranged damage alongside your pet if you spec heavily into BM?
Your pet will never do more damage than you, unless you sit there and do nothing. BM hunters rely heavily on their pet, that doesn't mean their pet does more damage than the hunter themselves. It's just some talents as well as an ability increase damage output while the pet is out(and alive). To put it in basics, without your pet as a BM hunter you take a big hit on your DPS output.
Quote:2. How viable are Marksmanship and Survival for DPS?
Both are very good DPS, both offer other things besides DPS, both are viable.
Quote:3. I created three beta builds for a DPS Hunter, each one emphasizing a different tree.
I'm not going to comment on the other trees, but I will talk about the BM build you choose. There are some things to pick out about it.

Did we lose out on tanking pets?2010-02-25 00:00:00I was in Dragonblight doing some quests and hit some I'd done a while back on my Warlock.
The basic rule with the warlock seemed to be that I could handle anything up to 3-person group quests. I had to swap my dps demon (Felguard) for a tanking one (Voidwalker) and just took it nice and easy and watched the threatmeter.
So with my hunter I approached these with some confidence only to find that even my shiny new pet heal didn't cut it.
SO I went over to Petopia and looked up tanking pets. Being in Dragonblight the big worms seemed like an obvious choice from the Tenacity branch. I made sure to spend all its talent points on what looked like ...

Heads up, Warcraft Players! Get a WOW Character for Sale at an Incredible Price!2009-09-25 00:00:00h2>WOW characters for Sale It may be spoken of in whispers in the land of Azeroth. "You wouldn't believe the incredible deal I got on this level 70 Gnome warlock." "I'm never going to be bored playing this game again!" "Ha ha! You're stuck grinding through that grunt work! Enjoy while I complete the Examine the Vessel quest!" Okay, that last one wasn't probably so much whispered as shouted.

Yaaaar...2009-09-22 00:00:00"You realize that pirates were nothing like what you see on television, right?" I was asked this by a relative who made old people frowny faces as they spotted one of my tattoos.
Why do people always assume that I have no grasp on reality what-so-ever? Is it because I see the world with a humorist's eyes? Could it be cause I have a child-like wonder and innocence, or that I have no grasp on reality what-so-ever?
Whatever the reason, people seem to go out of their way to remind me that the things that I love aren't A) real or C) possible.
Non-believers who laugh at my almost manic preparations for zombie attacks. The Missus who laughs at things like the closet door being left open a crack, or my nervousness around the dishwasher, vacuum, or garbage disposal. People hate it when you're happy or deluded or lying to yourself, so they have to make sure that you KNOW that the thing that brings you that happiness or delusion isn't real. So yes. I know that pirates aren't the laughing and handsome buccaneers with the pearly white smiles and well cleaned clothing that you see on television. I know this because the truth is...
Pirates were stinky.
Its a fact.
They were surrounded by water and fresh air and the open sea, and y...
Find out why WoW conquered the world2009-09-18 00:00:00Gamasutra has published an article titled "Why World of Warcraft Made It Big." The article was written by Michael Zenke, a member of the family here at Massively! Zenke argues that there's no one reason WoW was the game to explode into the mainstream in Western markets, instead of EverQuest II or City of Heroes. Accessibility, low system specs, polish, storytelling, fun factor, and y...
