Taking a hasty and critical look

A recent post at Hots&Dots caught my eye – it concerned stat weighting for Shadowpriests. In this post, Cassandri explains why we prefer Spellpower over Haste, Haste over Crit and Crit over Spirit. This post is very informative, but I feel that there is a slight nuance that needs to be made on the difference of Haste vs. Crit, and how these two stats relate.

Note that this is a post concerning how I value these stats, and my personal opinion. There’s a slight bit of math inside, but don’t expect an outcome of “Always do X”.

Happy Three Years Troll Hunter

There was a birthday celebration yesterday, but not mine nor my daughter’s – the Troll Hunter blog turned 3! I cannot believe it’s been that long – so many posts, rantings and photos… Not to mention the wonderful people I’ve met, virtually or personally, because of the blog. The comments and …

Am I the only one to catch this Patch 3.3.3 change?

Now I’ve been waiting for a while hoping that a certain someone would’ve already posted about this on a couple of places.  Well, I only saw a passing mention of it over on TribunalX. (Great catch man!) Otherwise, I haven’t seen it mentioned.  (Talk about trying to ignore one’s biasness against the possibility of change, eh?  Really though, why hasn’t this been shouted from the rooftops of hunterdom!!)

(Update note: Nochecazador from Of Marks and Beast had a mention that I missed. Thanks Noche!)

See, earlier this month Ghostcrawler made a simple post clarifying the Patch 3.3.3. Ferocious Inspiration buff.

The Hunter Hall of Fame

Many of you have probably noticed, we’re a big fan of experimentation here. We’re continually trying out new features here on the site in an attempt to provide more value to our readers and engagement with the community. Some of those experiments work out, some of them don’t, and that’s okay. The important part (to us, anyway) is that we make the attempt. The concept of featuring guest posts on Saturdays flopped big time (we didn’t get a single nibble aside from the couple folks we keep in contact with for guest posts already), so we’ve decided to try something a bit different: The Hunter Hall of Fame.

There are a lot of Hunters out there that love to collect pets, Spirit Beasts in particular. Well, we’ve decided to give folks a chance to have their moment in the spotlight. If you’re one of those Hunters that loves to collect Spirit Beasts, listen up. Moving forward, every Sunday we’d like to feature a Hunter out there that has been officially inducted into the Hunter Hall of Fame by taming every Spirit Beast in the game.

Elder Jen’s tips for funding your leveling experience

I don’t care much about the Lunar Festival (visited all the elders once, never again!), but Khi had a good idea: we bloggers can act like elders for a few days and bestow our knowledge on the noobs. (I use noob as an endearing term, not as in “OMFG u noob GTFO”).

My first brilliant idea was to write about general stuff for new players, but that’s been done already and I don’t think I have anything particularly interesting to say. I died a lot in my low levels, so I’m probably not the best example.

Then I wanted to write about acronyms… but it was pointed out to me that it’s been done, and much better than I could ever manage. See wowwiki and this WoW forums thread for a long, long list.
