Love the show guys. I was flipping through the channels yesterday and saw Jerry Trainor's face. Turns out he plays on a show called iCarly on Nick ;)

Macros aren't cheating, but they're generally a sign of a hunter that doesn't know what they're doing unless they're trying to exploit a timing quirk that's nigh impossible to handweave.

The big problem is that when you run into an encounter that requires anything other than a standard attack rotation, your DPS goes in the crapper as you try to adjust.

Examples: encounters requiring tranq shot, High King Maulgar (NO ARCANE SHOTS ON KROSH), etc.

Truth is, you should be able to achieve the same DPS, maybe higher by handweaving. I don't remember what the hunter used before, but at the Kara level, a dwarf Beast Master hunter should be using the Wolf Slayer Sniper rifle. It has better timing (which makes it superior for all BM hunters) and because it's a gun, there's an extra 1% crit thrown on for the dwarf racial.

I just wanted to point something out here, I think either you didnt mention anything or you -FORGOT- that Hunters (Yes I am one thus I am complaining here) has [Aspect of the Wild] Which gives you bonus in nature reisistance. Sure he gets to do less dps, but hes BM so he sucks anyhow ^^

Keep up the good work, I always end up laughing watching the show and at the same time I am showing it to friends who haven't done this instances on heroic. Making it actually informative ^^.

Aspect of the wild does not stack with the nature resistance totem, so no point in having both that up and totem down, its a choice really depending on which has the best benefits for the group.

Nice vid again guys, looking forward for the next episodes!

Love the concept of mates with beer playing WoW.

Keep them coming!

Hi,

I've been watching these episodes since you went out, and I'm kinda unsatisfied with the infos you give regarding the trash / boss.

I just think it'd be more helpful for less experienced players to give more informations about how to go through all this.

Little tricks, here and there that make a difference between a wipe and a kill.

I know it's only slave pens, wich is by far the easiest Heroics of all, but still...

I always leave your website wanting a little bit more

... or maybe I was wrong the whole time and this website is for inexperienced players, I don't know

July 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterStivilegenti

Great show guys, honestly.
Aside from some audio issues, I wouldn't change a damn thing.
You have the right amount of info, I find, for the caliber of show your trying to achieve. Any more and it would just be boring.
Very laid back, plenty of personality.
Bit of humor, bit of wit.
Keep up the good work guys, cant wait to see what you do in the future.

-If you want more info on a dungeon ppl look it up. More than enough content on the interweb. Check youtube if you really need a visual aid.
-Plz for the love of god... we know Jerry acts for Nick. Enough already.

Can i get a list of the add ons the hunetr is using and by the way awsome show guys.

July 25, 2008 | Unregistered Commentergoreman

Anybody else get the vid freeze on them? It's only on this site. Weird..

July 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterLuke

video is freezing on me too :(
you know guys, maybe you should consider releasing the vids on bittorrent too :P

July 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterNutter

Great takedown, boys. Appreciated the tip about using a nature resist totem but you didn't mention hunters can put up a nature resistance aspect too. Every little helps, or so I'm told.

More details on bosses and strats please! Also, would you mind explaining what mods you are using and what macros - if you're using something that works and are showing it to us, tell us what it is!

July 26, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterwhiteleaf

If I offended with my last post i apologize.

July 26, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterPhil

macros isnt cheating lol xD but how can a macro increase ur dps by 200?

July 26, 2008 | Unregistered Commentervisious

Not that it mattered much since you guys killed Quag, but a better strat is to tank him with your back to the wall, to avoid his throwback move taking precious aggro-laying seconds from the tank. I personally choose the right hand wall behind the lightpost thing there. I pull him by myself by walking along the side pulling him out a bit and turning him so that he's at an oblique angle to the group.

Oh, and about the videos, the audio needs some work and the rogues POV is just annoying. I guess he has a habit of zooming in and out during gameplay which is fine for that person, but it's unnerving to watch.

"Sure he gets to do less dps, but hes BM so he sucks anyhow ^^"
Either you're a moron, or your sense of humor sucks.

"Appreciated the tip about using a nature resist totem but you didn’t mention hunters can put up a nature resistance aspect too. Every little helps, or so I’m told."
Read above you. They DON'T STACK. The hunter aspect is good if you don't have a shaman in group.

"macros isnt cheating lol xD but how can a macro increase ur dps by 200?"
Because many hunters are inept and can't manage to time their shots correctly and/or forget to use Kill every time it's available.

I've played almost every instance on heroic atleast once and IMO the 70 Heroics seem easier. Maybe that I get better group or that I know the strat for the 70 regs better and then it applies to the heroic making it go easier.

July 27, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterZanaso

when ever you fight a boss instead of saying BOSS START, it says BOSS STRAT, lol just thought id let you guys know, keep up the good work!

the video is freezing on me too...

"when ever you fight a boss instead of saying BOSS START, it says BOSS STRAT, lol just thought id let you guys know, keep up the good work!"

I think that's intentional.. Strat being short for Strategy. Since right after that flashes they talk about it, then it says Boss Kill when they really fight it.

July 27, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterShane

so, nice job im looking forward to the next episodes... Goggins/jerry is so funny, so are you guys actually going to do end game raids and make videos of that?

I'm enjoying your videos, keep up the good work.

An additional tip for Quag: While tanking he will occationally target a different player and cast the acid spray, which you noticed. You can force Quag to turn back to the tank for a few seconds using taunt, which prevents him from dealing a ton of damage to the rest of the party and extra threat is always nice to have.
