Hunting Party Podcast: Episode 105 Recap

This week, we’re joined by Zeherah, creator of femaledwarf.com, and the most recent of three dwarven hunters to receive an in-game item named after her! We talk about OMG’s triumphant display of hunter PvP, and how it doesn’t mean we aren’t due for some buffs, as well as the buffs to BM DPS.

Hosts: Euripides, Darkbrew and Frostheim

Special Guest: Zeherah of femaledwarf.com

Congratulation on Zeherah’s Dragonskull Crown – 2:00
Zeherah and the hosts discuss the the item being named in Zeherah’s honour including the stats, where it will drop, absence of flavour text.

Hunter on Winning PvP at Blizzcon – 14:35
OMG arena team included a hunter and won the Blizzcon arena tournament. The hosts and Zeherah all agree that Jungyup is an exceptionally talented PvP hunter. While clearly the top 1% of PvP are competitive with other classes, the other 99% of hunters have a really tough time.

Melee and Minimum Range – 26:40
Zeherah is looking forward to the removal of minimum range even in PvE. Blizzard currently has to always remember to design around minimum range. Removal of melee simplifies thing quite a bit. Might cause even more itemization issues.

Raid Gun Issues – 31:30
PTR gun i-level has dropped. Deathwing now seems to drop a bow.

BM DPS – 36:10
GC has said that BM dps is better then the parses suggest since the best players are not choosing to play BM. The models suggest that BM and survival should do about the same dps. Hosts disagree about how to encourage more players to raid as BM.

Chat Room Q&A
This weeks questions were going to be ranked based on what costume you were going to wear for Halloween but got changed to what should Zeherah’s item flavour text should be.

Q: How do you make a career out of WoW? – 54:00
A: None of the hosts are making any real money off WoW. It is a hobby. They know one or two who make actual money but it’s very rare so they don’t feel qualified to answer the question.

Q: Will pet talents be revamped for the next expansion? – 1:02:00
A: Yes, but that might just mean they are going away.

Q: Pointers on doing more DPS, he feels like he may have developed bad habits like a bad golf swing? – 1:04:15
A: Yes you can have bad habits but it’s hard to figure out on a podcast. You can work with another hunter in your raid to try and figure out what you are doing wrong. Run logs to World of Logs and there tools there you can look at that may help.
