It's insane how fast one can level with the heirlooms now. And learning their new shots, spells, what have you as I level up. As it stands now, I won't be buying legions. And I am looking at going to www.vanillagaming.org and jumping back (way back) to WOW 1.6xxx lvl 1 to 60. I like that before TBC, ROTLK, etc. This new wow is for the younger folks and their soon to be x-boxes, etc. Well, good luck everyone. You too GE if you ever come back to this web site. <br /><br />-roo-abhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899567485973250660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-82947934824176195192016-08-01T10:01:13.636-04:002016-08-01T10:01:13.636-04:00Of course, I am wondering by such hunter news.

The emptiness of her offensive and defensive spells are not made up for by being able to self-cast three blessings at the same time. And honestly, I am pretty sure a sword and jewelry only Paladin can no longer do what I had just done the weekend before the change.<br /><br />I had intended to hold on through Legion until flight became available again and then purchase the expansion for my accounts. Right now I am wondering if it is worth the trouble of figuring out how to do things yet again, and most of that is due to the pruning leaving me with so many not there now abilities. I love the game, but I am not so sure the game is there to be loved anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-58314684731292964002016-07-20T09:29:20.971-04:002016-07-20T09:29:20.971-04:00well, here is the time for all of you fan boys and...well, here is the time for all of you fan boys and gals, to tell us how well you love the changes.

I do not know if he has pre-purchased Legion or not, but if he hasn't I am not sure he will at this point. <br /><br />Burnout is a nasty thing to witness in such a good player as Grumpy but it has been building for a good while. <br /><br />Recall I appointed him Raid Leader back at the end of Wrath, and he has been a rock of stability in that position ever since. That is a long time to be in charge of that facet of the game for the guild. <br /><br />I am not saying he is quitting or anything but I do think he is thinking about it.

Now I did not get a chance to speak with him, so what else may be going on I can't say. Knowing him, I suspect he simply is taking a longish break from both blogging and full time playing. <br /><br />Can't speak for any other guilds or players, but it seems our guild has hit a slump in activity in the last couple of months. Not a dying out sense but in a non-participation for now sense--perhaps a calm before the coming storm (read new expansion) sense would be a better descriptive term.<br /><br />And out of curiousity about the original topic of this post, how has the newest change to the hunter class worked out so far for any hunters who are testing it. Does the return of the pet make the MM class spec work much better? It seems like it would to me, but then again I freely admit to admiring hunters more than playing them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-23872305235670417882016-04-08T22:08:12.969-04:002016-04-08T22:08:12.969-04:00Okay dude hope all is well, prayers if you need th...Okay dude hope all is well, prayers if you need them. thorbartinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-50831978156697639282016-04-04T12:11:49.636-04:002016-04-04T12:11:49.636-04:00Alright dude...where'd you go.

I see that it must keep mobs at bay through solo gaming, but hey, do you see many hunters turn it off for raids and dungeons? It's gonna be a part of rotation, all about reflexes. So you'd always forget or deliberately don't want to - turn this off. <br /><br />It's a perfect way to piss off the group (particularly a tank), on purpose or not, and I don't see why they brought this option into the game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-2275096760568857402016-03-04T11:34:51.154-05:002016-03-04T11:34:51.154-05:00"...I'm applying *that* here to a..."..."...I'm applying *that* here to a..."<br /><br />/fixedTo Bee or Not to Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929748357206418382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-39001295056262300662016-03-04T11:33:38.370-05:002016-03-04T11:33:38.370-05:00I've said before that I won't play a hunte...I've said before that I won't play a hunter w/o a pet, nor one that isn't ranged.
