Hold on to your spell books as the boys have a blast with WoW Insiders Kristin Marshall. Join in on this epic round table discussion as they dig into Death Knight tanking, epic pet battles and BLIZZ Y U NO 5 MAN?! Stay tuned at the end of the show for an extra special treat courtesy of Rewt from Hearthcast!
Hendlove quickly turns into Annelove as the boys have an epic Q & A session with the Queen of lore herself, Anne Stickney! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you might even get uncomfortable… From Garrosh being a jerk, to PVP, to Wrathion’s scandalous agenda, you don’t want to miss this story filled extravaganza!
If you’re like us, you want the battle pets added in 5.1 and you also want the super rare mounts that drop off old raid bosses. To help make this feat a little easier, Saz joined us tonight and gave us some great tips on accomplishing this! While discussing soloing old raid bosses, the discussion, at times, breaks into Super Shaman talk as well, but that’s okay. It really is the best class in the game! No really, it is. Just ask me!
This macro will randomly call any mount listed as a number in between the { }
/run if (not IsMounted()) then local t = {2,3,4} CallCompanion ("Mount", t[random(#t)]) else DismissCompanion("Mount") end
Enter the number of the mount as it appears in your spellbook. If the first mount listed in your spellbook is the Abyssal Seahorse from Vashjir, that would be 1, and if the second mount is the Albino Drake, it would be 2, etc. If you want the Albino Drake in your macro, input the number 2 in the number section between the { }. Add additional mounts by separating their corresponding number with a comma.
It can be difficult counting the number of each mount as it appears in your mount tab but it will work. When first creating it, I would suggest adding only one mount and try it to make sure you have the correct corresponding number to the mount you want. One thing you will need to watch for is getting new mounts. It will mess with your ordering since the new mount will be added alphabetically and increase the number value of any mounts listed after it, meaning you may need to modify your macro.
Have fun!.
The boys are back at it again! In this Hunteriffic episode we bring on special guest Ghemit who inspired this week’s topic. We learn how many 90s Rob actually has and that even in beautiful Mexico, Hend just can’t stay away from Azeroth. From keybinds to macros to…. warlocks? We have another great round table episode discussion digging into the class that everyone loves to hate. Special congratulations to this week’s premium Ask Mr. Robot account winner, Epicinsanity!
The filthy Alliance was hard at work tonight trying to sabotage this show. We had multiple disconnects, some weird noise skipping and not even sure what happened in the middle of the show. Kevin Old Scratch from the Darkmoon Herald talks Shaman and by the end of the show all 3 of us are re-evaluating our talents choices! Yes, even The Training Dummies learn something on this show! Be warned, after about 1 hour the sound quality deteriorates and we actually cut out a chunk of the show. If you want to hear the cut portion, it is at the end of the show.
Once again we are joined by Affinitii of Blood Legion fame! We get into a discussion on the mysterious unannounced feature and follow up on Affinitii’s world ranked progression ranking for Mists of Pandaria. In all the excitement we forgot to announce the winner of the Ask Mr. Robot premium account during the show. Congratulations Buckhunt!
These come to us via the Robot of Ask Mr. Robot fame.

We have a treat for you tonight! Training Dummy meets Robot when Zoopercat from Ask Mr. Robot joins us to discuss some of the new features on their site as well as the ever popular Gear Optimizer. Strap yourself in and get ready for a doozy!
A last minute cancellation had us scrambling but Yinxy saved the day with a great LFR healing question! We discuss some of the finer points of stepping into LFR in the Healer role including regen, cooldowns, and not forgetting to bring your Discipline Priest. Plus we share a Training Dummies mouseover macro success story! Happy Healing!
We had TWO voicemails today! TWO! Those led to discussing stuns and agro as well as Hunter macros for tricking those dirty, dirty melee. Then we get into everyone’s favourite (would I lie to you?) 5-man dungeon, the Shado-Pan Monastery.
After a short holiday break and some technical difficulties, we are back! During our break we received some questions about macro management, macro storage, and macro decisions! Does it get any better? I don’t think so!
Technical Difficulties plagued us this evening. Hoofit was out for the count and Hend had to take over recording. With a new mic and being an amateur, the quality is not where we would like it to be, so we apologize for that but hope you enjoy anyways. (It’s only 30 minutes so you can tough it out) We do announce our contest winners as well as play all of the entries we received.
Temple of the Jade Serpent filling you with doubt? We tackle this dungeon as well as some Holy Paladin Weak Auras, herb milling and using items in Macros, and standing together in a tight group.
In this episode we discuss prepping, learning, and coping strategies for LFR, and what you can do to help make LFR a friendlier environment for everyone.

In this episode we discuss some buff add-ons and revisit some past topics in relation to Patch 5.1 that include new ways to spend your valor and justice points and how to lessen the daily rep grind! There’s also a brand new macro!
What’s the best way to get Valor? There’s several ways to do it well but which way works best with your schedule?
We tackle a comment about our last show about tanking, and go into a huge discussion based on a listener question in regards to Valor and what’s the best way to get it! There’s no wrong way by any stretch, but depending on your situation, you should consider going about it one way or another and make the best of your time.
Wow, One listener’s plea for advice on how to begin tanking turns into quite the discussion! Join us as we discuss Basic, Intermediate and even a few advanced tanking behaviors and methods to help our listener, Seth, on his way to tanking greatness.
As always, comments are welcome and discussion about other great tips are encouraged. If we forgot to mention something, don’t leave poor Seth hanging, talk about it here! (P.S. Seth is a Protection Warrior specifically, though we try to discuss Tanking habits and methods that all tanks should practice)
Gearing up for Heroics & prepping for raiding, Reputations of Interest, Profession stuff and the recently unlocked from it’s faction restriction’s Justice Point gear.
This episode talks about various things you can do to begin maximizing your game play either at Lv. 90, or how to get started even before the level cap through the Tillers at Halfhill.
There’s a little something for everyone and a little something of a lot of everything else in this episode. We welcome all questions and comments; share what you’ve learned as well!
With emails O’plenty we had to dedicate an entire show to get through them all. You’ll have to listen closely to understand the show’s title… and don’t judge!
We give to you a bit of ourselves through our show, and we want to thank our community for giving back to us so that we could give back to you! We gave away two more prizes this week from Twitter and Facebook contests.
Let’s discuss some of the things you can do to prepare for expansions and pre-expansion patches. Hear what other listeners are doing and a few tips and pieces of advice from the cast from class choices, habits, inventory, to gold making tips.
