So the changes are upon us, and with it the classes you knew and loved have been changed, to one degree or another, forever.
Or at least until the next expansion ;)
This also means we say goodbye to the best thing about Warlords of Draenor: Read more →
Having previously had a look at the Beast Master Hunter spec, followed by the Marksmanship Hunter, we now get around to the spec that's seen the most change of all: the Survival Hunter spec.
Survival for the longest time has been the red-headed stepchild of the Hunter specs. Never quite up there in terms of popularity or DPS, but it still had its fans, and they were loyal fans as well. So it was quite a niche spec. However Blizzard with the coming of Legion, have seen fit to make wholesale and sweeping changes to the spec, and is the first spec in WoW's history (correct me if I'm wrong) to change roles. Previously a ranged DPS spec it has now become a melee DPS spec.

That's how I've felt since the result of the EU Referendum was announced in the early hours of Friday morning, when the UK had, incomprehensibly, voted by a slim margin to leave the EU.
My last post about this before the referendum was largely an on the fence one, but as you have probably guessed I went with my head rather than my heart, and made the sensible, logical choice to remain a member of the EU.
It seems however, that slightly too many people within the UK, particularly in Little England, actually fell for the jingoistic, xenophobic, misplaced patriotism espoused by the Leave campaign in the run up to the vote. Now of course begins Project Backpeddle, as the likes of Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Liam Fox and Daniel Hannan start telling us that in reality: Read more →
So after finding out BM was in a kind of a weird place, where it was decent enough to play, but not brilliant, and discovering the reason why my Arcane & Multi-Shots weren't showing up on PTR (more on that particular disaster towards the end of this article), I've decided to move the MM preview up on the schedule ahead of the Survival preview.

Not exactly our typical sort of programming, but then again there's a reason why I renamed from Sargaming.net to SarCrux.com ;) So the EU Referendum…
Read more →So the PTR now features the Legion pre-expansion patch, which brings with it all the new systems and class changes ahead of the expansion's launch itself.
So given how badly I've wanted to get onto the Legion Beta, I was very eager to get on the PTR and test out the changes to Hunters, especially given that this expansion sees Hunters receiving more wholesale changes than any other class has ever received in the game.
So for this first post I'm going to take a look at my old favourite, the BM Hunter.
