On Hunters.

By
Go do something for me.

Go level a survival hunter to 40. Let him sit for a month or three while you play something else... come back and play him for about 10 min.

You notice the difficulty your pet has holding hate off of your awesome crits? You notice how to kill a mob you have to burn half your mana?... Good

Now respec Beast Master. Watch as your pet destroys things while you save your mana for BW and that thing that looks like a kodo's mouth. Maybe the occasional trap or heal.

The difference is night and day.

This is true.

I respecced SV-MM hybrid for a week or two at 70, and after two or three shots, not even specials sometimes, I was pulling aggro off my pet. After leveling BM from the start, I was lost! It didn't take me long to spec back!!

I found it's just a different way to play. I'd CC the adds instead of letting my pet tank them. I was quick to Wyvern Sting something that was threatening to kill my pet in order to bandage my pet. I'd Feign Death at the last possible minute AFTER I'd unloaded on the mob.

You can't play an SV hunter the way you play a BM hunter. If you don't want to change your playstyle, by all means, respec BM.

But having both SV and BM hunters, I really can say they are both very viable for leveling.

I never really played a BM hunter until yesterday. I mean I respecced BM for a level between 20 and 40 somewhere but I went back for my traps.

I know you -can- level that way(I did) I just spend more mana and my pet almost never had aggro.

I mean... my dear little cat lost agro the third WHITE shot in. Without me casting anything. With growl up. With the recent claw rank.

This happened a lot.

I'm not going back :P...(of course I'm not ever playing a mage again this doesn't make mages bad people and shunters are bad people either).

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...

Guildless.

By
Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.
