Welcome to Scattered Shots, written by Frostheim of Warcraft Hunters Union and the Hunting Party Podcast. Each week, Frostheim uses logic and science (mixed with a few mugs of dwarven stout) to look deep into the hunter class. Got hunter questions? Feel free to email Frostheim.
As the Cataclysm beta continues, the different hunter specs are finally beginning to settle into place. There are still a lot of bugs, a lot of things not working or working oddly, and some talents that clearly need tweaking — and of course, focus regen is being tuned weekly at this point — but the overall PvE feel of each spec is becoming increasingly solid.
Today we’re going to start by looking at the MM spec in Cataclysm, which seems to be the most polished spec at the moment. We are not forgetting SV or BM, which we’ll hit up next week (though BM, as the most changed spec, is also the least finished, with big stuff not working right now). Join me after the cut for rotations, key abilities, how those talents really work and to bask in the awesomeness of the Cataclysm hunter.

Ever since I first looked at my character’s skill list (almost six years ago now) and saw there was actually a skill bar for languages, I have had an idea planted in my head. If my character has the technical ability to learn languages in WoW, why couldn’t I choose to learn Orcish? This notion led me further to ask, “Why can’t I be in a cross-faction guild consisting of both Alliance and Horde races, working together to accomplish great deeds?” When I relayed this idea to my guildies at the time, one guy actually told me it was the stupidest idea he’d ever heard. Really?
There has always been precedent in the game for this kind of cross-faction cooperation. We can see it in groups like the Argent Dawn and the Cenarion Circle. Hell — even the Twilight’s Hammer is more racially progressive than the Horde or Alliance. And don’t even get me started on that racist jerk Varian Wrynn. Oh, I know he was mistreated in captivity by orcs, but his mistreatment is nothing compared to what Thrall endured at the hands of humans, and Thrall’s first instinct has always been of peaceful resolution rather than conflict (and for reference, I’m an Alliance player, folks).
