Hunting Party Podcast: Episode 103 Recap


This episode, both Euripides and Frostheim are down and out with Feral Druid Mange. In the spirit of the show must go on we brought in long-time listenter AFKRogue to co-host with Darkbrew. Yes folks, we have a rogue who listens to our show!

In addition to being a rogue, he’s Frost’s former raid leader. We talk a little bit about Frost’s raiding days, and AFKRogue also gives us some insight on how to kill Rogues in PvP (not that we didn’t know how to do that already).

Hosts: Just Darkbrew as Euripides and Frostheim couldn’t make the podcast.

Special Guest: AFKRogue

Q: What do you think of the solo Atramedes kill = 25:30

A: Darkbrew was unaware of the kill but plans to check it out.

Q: What is the penalty for focus capping? 32:20

A: Don’t want to get focus capped because you’re wasting potential dps.

Q: What would you ask Blizzard at the Blizzcon Q&A 40:00

A: AFKRogue would ask about plans for the Warcraft RTS game. Darkbrew wouldn’t expect to see an RTS game before Titan is released.

Q: Any tips for killing rogues in PvP. 57:40

A: Don’t bother with disengage or FD. Rogues will sometimes pop a trap in battlegrounds so that the hunter’s attention will be drawn to their trap not at the rogue behind them. Rogues hate Hunter’s Mark.

Q: BM struggles to move to Marksman. He’s not out DPS his Survival build. 46:30

A: Give it some more time and practice. Your ranged weapon may have more influence on your DPS for MM then for some other specs. Not everyone is equally good at all specs.

Q: A hunter running with Essence of the Cyclone and Fluid Death wants to know which should be replaced by The Hungerer= 50:10

A: Replace Essence of the Cyclone until you get both Fireland trinkets.

Q: How to become an elite Hunter? 51:30

A: Listening to the podcast is a good start. Check out some of the other great websites with great information.

Q: Does the nature of the top 100 parses skew the numbers for BM? 53:25

A: Yes, it does, but if you’re not a top tier hunter then it doesn’t matter as matter as much which spec you are playing. You can still be a quality raider spec’d BM if you aren’t in an elite raiding guild. BM isn’t as far behind as it was in ICC.
