Is this the end.......? nah I doubt it

I don't like this at all but it seems I have lost interest in wow more than I expected after my vacation. Actually this is quite normal if you consider that the only things I was doing last weeks was drink, eat, swim and sleep. So I will probably prolong my current state for as much as I can.

Thank you all for supporting and favoriting this blog. Obviously it wont be forever but it feels nice before dragging myself back to wow again.

After all once a gamer.....always a gamer!!!!

Till next time Happy Hunting everyone :)

Am I doing Rotface Right?

Rotface

If Festergut is the Patchwerk of ICC, then Rotface is the Grobbulus. I hate Rotface with a burning rage that is nearly as great as my hatred for elves. This fight is all about ooze management and good burst DPS at the last 20% when the oozes are going crazy.

* [Hunter] Longevity

The talent used to work for the hunter but not for the pet. Even though this talent worked for Bestial Wrath and Intimidation but didn't work for the pet skills.

* [Hunter] Explosive Shot - fixup when reapplying

The refresh of ES debuff was positively bugged. When you refreshed ES with another ES during lock ann load you were causing additional ticks.

Script Revision 4058 - Sumilion

* [Hunter] Feign Death - breaks when casting a spell

There was a problem when you used this spell while you were already casting a skill. The Feign death ability was going in cooldown and did become active again until you relog.

Can Beast Masters raid?

By  Brian Wood
 
Beast Mastery is the beloved hunter spec with the strongest and most protective of followers. While a BM hunter was a rare thing to find back in vanilla, BM saw a terrific boost throughout Burning Crusade and the beginning of Wrath of the Lich King. For years BM enjoyed the incredibly rare status of being an excellent spec -- if not the best spec -- for soloing, leveling, pvp, and raiding.

Am I doing Festergut Right?

Festergut

Our first stop is the closest we're going to get to a Patchwerk fight in the Plagueworks. Festergut is darned near a straight up tank & spank, and while once again the melee have it easy, this is the fight where we can pretty much just sit still and pump out our massive sustained DPS.

Summer Time

During the following period, might be week or the whole summer left, I wont be posting that often here. I am not going anywhere like a vacation. It's that I will try to take it more easy and relax a bit more since the time is suitable for this.
I will inform you about fixes and stuffs and I will try to keep the Weekly Skill Overview up.

But in general I will try to post whenever i feel I found something worth posting and informing my fellow hunters.

Till then Happy Hunting Everyone.

See you there

Weekly Skill Overview (Silencing Shot)

 Silencing Shot 

I am not gonna say how useful this shot is on PvP to silence your target's healer or any caster in in general so that you can kill them without receiving heal or doing any heavy damage to you either but I will mostly talk about it on PvE.

Core Revision 6179 - Sumilion

r6179 | sumilion | 2011-06-16 17:20:29 -0500 (Thu, 16 Jun 2011) | 5 lines 
* The entire mechanic mask is now used (including EffectMechanic) for checking mechanic duration modifications. This forced me to remove some hackfixes and therefore requires testing. This fixes at least : 
** [Hunter] Silencing Shot - is now affected by silence reducing effects

Somehow before this revision Silencing shot duration wasn't reduced by talents like Priest's Unbearable Will and applied the entire duration regardless if the priest was talented or not.

Script Revision 3975 - Sumilion

* [Hunter] Go for the Throat - procs on all ranged attacks

Great Rev. Now our pets will never Focus Starve. They are always at full focus to spam their skills all they want :)

Am I doing Lady Deathwhisper right?

Lady Deathwhisper is the second boss in Icecrown Citadel. She is a challenging encounter on 25-man, and fairly trivial on 10-man. This strat guide focuses on the hunter perspective. For a complete raid strat I recommend Tankspot’s Deathwhisper Video. The value of actually seeing a video of a fight cannot be overstated.

Weekly Skill Overview (Deterrence)

 Deterrence

The so called Hunter "Bubble".

Well this statement is actually really wrong since it not making the hunter immune but making the hunter unable to attack cause he is pacified for the entire duration of deterrence and gives the hunter 100% chance to  parry and deflect everything but there is a catch. It can parry and deflect anything that CAN be parried. And unfortunately there are quite a few abilities that cannot be parried.

Hunter Kiting Tactics (Jump Shot)

The Jump Shot

Because backpeddaling is always bad in every situation hunters invented a few way of shoting while running and creating distance with the enemy.

This move is surprisingly easy to get the hang of. It might even come naturally if you’re in a situation where you absolutely need to use it. This has more value in pvp but it has quite a few applications in pve also.

Weekly Skill Overview (Improved Tracking)

 Improved Tracking

What does this talent do?

While tracking Beasts, Demons, Dragonkin, Elementals, Giants, Humanoids and Undead, all damage done to those types by the Hunter is increased by X%.

Pre-Pot or Pot-Pot after Pot

What's pre-pot?
Pre-pot is the procedure or trick of drinking a potion before the raid encounter start.

What's the benefit?
Since you drunk the pot while not in combat you automatically start the cooldown of the potion. This trick enable your to drink 2 potions in the same raid encounter.

Core Revision 6158 - Sumilion

r6158 | sumilion | 2011-06-08 17:25:20 -0500 (Wed, 08 Jun 2011) | 21 lines 

* correction to pets distance at which they attack, fixes them attacking bosses
* Replenishment gives 1% of max mana per 5 sec now

Lets hope this will help our pets at last to hit the raid bosses with large hit boxes. And I secretly hope to fix our pet attacking our targets while we are kitting them.

Also the Replenishment nerf is welcome too. In the past Replenishment used to give 0.25% every sec. So in total you would receive 1.25% of your total Mana in 5 sec. But later this changed to 1% mana after 5 sec.

Weekly Skill Overview (Flare)

Flare

Hmm Flare!!!

The most hated skill in the whole game from every stealth-user around the globe. One of the reason Hunters are like red flag to the Rogues. And also the reasons for the rivers of tears. But let's find why this skill is the reason for all this.

Pet Movement need tuning!!

Recently I become curious to see how pets are this days. The first thing I always look is how the move when I move. Everything seemed fine. I spent quite a lot of time with Marcelo so it would be a waste if that has broken.

Weekly Skill Overview (Aimed Shot)

Aimed Shot

Without question Aimed Shot is a purely confusing tooltip. It's the kind of instruction manual you would expect from, say, a race of people that irradiated their entire homeland, forcing them to freeload off a great and overly kind nation. The misunderstanding of Aimed Shot is also one of the most fervently argued. Here's what the tooltip says:

An aimed shot that increases ranged damage by 408 and reduces healing done to that target by 50%. Lasts 10 sec.
