I would even like to be able to macro dire beast it so it is set it and forget it.<br /><br />Not sure what the design with hunters was intended to be but right now it seems like its intended design was to see how many buttons a person can handle.<br /><br />I am glad to announce that we managed, the majority of us. If any other class in the game went through what hunters went through there would have been protests outside of blizzards headquarters I am sure. We just grin and bear it and say... is that all you got? Hunters and the people that play them are unique.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-16543064039804029062013-01-16T10:47:41.574-05:002013-01-16T10:47:41.574-05:00Some of the mobs have quick stacking debuffs that ...Some of the mobs have quick stacking debuffs that can kill you in seconds if you get too many mobs. That is what I am taking about. No amount of defensive cooldowns are going to save you from instant death. I assure you, there is no tank in the world, even in all heroic raid gear, that can pull more then 5 or some mobs.<br /><br />Lucky for me, as a hunter, my pet happens to be immune to some of them but even my pet ran across a few that he wasn't and it died within seconds when I had 6 or 7 mobs on him. I doubt a proper tank would do much better.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-90369224845215497732013-01-16T02:50:25.887-05:002013-01-16T02:50:25.887-05:00"can the DK keep up with the speed of the hun..."can the DK keep up with the speed of the hunter when they can no longer pull 20 mobs at a time?"<br /><br />Of course you can still pull 20 mobs at the same time.<br />How should I put this... since I've been playing tank since I started, I don't even know how to spot an elite. For me there are no elites or rares, just mobs with more health.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173436197557929355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-23287752093655025222013-01-15T21:51:41.578-05:002013-01-15T21:51:41.578-05:00Seems almost all our abilities are now either on t...Seems almost all our abilities are now either on the GCD or GCD locked so you can't cast them while doing something else.

(Unless you had to use the shot to interrupt something - which, basically, was never the case - the only drawback of such macroing was that you could theoretically ran out of mana, but if you ran out of mana, you arguably were already doomed.) They put the shot back onto GCD since that time.<br /><br />Love the bullet list posts, keep them coming. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-59359161627840139492013-01-14T13:11:01.398-05:002013-01-14T13:11:01.398-05:00The quest was there, but I too did not do it on my...The quest was there, but I too did not do it on my first char. I jumped the wall to get there. It was funny, almost died even, but it got me some rares so it was worth it.<br /><br />That comes after you do the wilds. You have to go from the valley to the wilds then it sends you back to the valley for the big brain quest. And as we know, no one in their right mind ever quests in the wilds while leveling.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-20535079398229498762013-01-14T12:09:52.492-05:002013-01-14T12:09:52.492-05:00Now thats just plain crazy - I too, leveled my one...Now thats just plain crazy - I too, leveled my one and only horde hunter (on a different server of course) but only got to 88 (and about half way to 89) before calling it quits to spend time with my granddaughters when they came over yesterday. And stopped to fish and do rares as I came across them. <br /><br />But what got me, I was able to open the dang gate to the Vale at lvl 87. I don't remember being able to do that in the beginning of MoP on my first 90. <br /><br />And I have noticed that as I did the Horde quests, Horde was a whole lot easier and the armor it gave! Of course, I snatched up "Ennadee's Twirling Longbow" for my troll hunter - SidTwoToes. Best 3000G in the AH I have spent. I also found Glimmer and Savage (wasn't looking for them, just happen upon their tracks). I also went from "everyone hates me in the guild cuz I don't play" (unfiendly) to exalted and took the guild from just a few thousand exp points into lvl 10 to a few thousand past lvl 11 for them. And you know, it is insane. No instances or raids, just questing in horde MOP beginning area to Jade Forest (not all either! I can't find the quest where the jade serpent dies so it can be re-born again and the sha take over Jade Forest) to Valley of Four Winds and just a few quests in the area of the White Temple area (Ka-Lin Summit - I think). Thats it. No heirlooms. No fancy armor or pets. It's insane. Something tells me I will make lvl 90 after doing the rest of the quests in Ka-Lin Summit area and a few in that area where Nat Pangle is located). <br /><br />But usually there is no one playing in the guild, and my extra toon on this server is lvl 2, so no help in making anything. It's just like being alone - She has no bags, just holds my gold for me). <br /><br />I also cant find other quests such as fighting those insect people up on the wall where the big brain type breaks thru in Valley of the 4 Winds. Has that been removed?<br /><br />I for one, can't make money in the AH. But I do get pet battle stones :P<br /><br />Yeah, a lot of jumbled up thoughts here and some questions. Thanks!<br /><br />-roo <i>"somewhere over the rainbow"</i>-abhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899567485973250660noreply@blogger.com
