In Part One, I outlined the many problems faced by players of Balance Druids in Nighthold and almost certainly ones that will continue into Tomb of Sargeras:

• The damage ceiling of the spec is disturbingly close to the floor for many other damage specs in the game.
• Damage output is punished cruelly by heavy movement and target switching.
• Mediocre damage in AoE heavy fights, even though that should be Balance's niche.
• Poorest damage of all specs in the game in single target encounters in Nighthold.

So a few weeks ago, I began privately mulling over a change Read more →

All throughout the past 7 months or so, I've been entering competitions on WoWHead, MMOC, MMOG etc etc in order to win a beta key.

So with the expansion about 4 weeks out from the time of writing, and after the pre-expansion patch has gone live, now would of course be the most useless time to get a key to check out the changes.

Well, let's get into it with this guide to getting there and getting your very own Sparky! Read more →

So the pre-patch, 7.0.3 is now live across all regions, and with it come all the changes being made in prep for Legion. So after a full day with the patch, what sort of things did it bring? What did you think about the changes?

Well, let's break down what I thought into the stuff I loved, and the stuff I hated... 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.
