On Hunters.

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).

RAMBLY Political Responses.

Sub-Teach, On monday, I had about 80% of this written as a reply to your comment before I figured I should just drop it into a post. Yay for thought spam from simple commentary. To be clear: I'm not anti-our-current-president. I didn't like his solution for the recession(the bailout(which was started by our previous president)) but I'm certainly not blaming the recession on him. I understand that it was my dear party that thought you could spend AND cut taxes at the same time. I'm not really in favor of the way in which the other party wants to extend the tax cuts(cutting some and not others). I would rather we let all of the tax cuts expire and everyone equally paid a little bit more. BUT I'm really not happy with the idea that we can extend all of them when we are in record levels of national debt, which is what my party espouses. No our current president didn't have much time to fix the economy...and any good/harm he did probably won't be evident

A post!

So Beowulfa recieved the Burning Crusade as one of her many christmas presents. As a side note, she also recieved a picture of a chick with a pet lion. Sort of like Angharad. Anyways, we're poking Drenai characters in a "ooo that would be cool" kind of way. Since it was her birthday present and all... and if the characters were not BElf or Spacegoat then it wouldn't be using the present! So we're going to at least get them to 10. And BElf's are too... pretty in an ugly way. I don'ts like them. She doesn't like them(much?). I said Spacegoat. She quickly created a male drenai priest(this morning). We talked about it at lunch and she's going to make a paladin instead, I think. I slightly warned her off of priest because I've heard they solo about as well as a warrior heals. I'm.... undecided. We have warrior, paladin, mage, priest, shaman, hunter. I've been told I need to be something tankish. So mage and priest are gone. I'm definin
