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).

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.

On being Horde.

By
Obviously we no longer play Horde side. Wulfa has a 70, 45, 32 and numerous other alliance alts now. I've got a 63, 46, 20, 16, 11, 8, 8 Alliance side(all my alliance alts are new since we moved over to Kael'thas, wulfa's playing two characters that already existed before our horde characters were started). But we are two and a half ORCS. Not two and a half random alliance characters. This makes it hard sometimes when I see links to my site or I see a horde shaman etc. It is kind of like going back to your home town and seeing people you used to know and they ask you how your ex-girlfriend is doing. They don't know you split up. You don't really want to talk about it. Etc. Sometimes I think fondly about getting on my Horde shaman and leveling a bit. Nothing ever comes of it. And even less will in the future as I get further and further away from wanting to play those toons. There are things I like on the Alliance side. I like the Dreanai. A lot. Even th...
