Tku for a outstanding Site…Whuumper/Queldo’Rei

Just a few of my recent experiences. Reminds me why I spend most of my time soloing.

The very next instance (Halls of Stone) the next hunter zoned in without a pet and ran the whole instance without it.

At the end of the run, I just had to ask. He said he doesn’t use his pet except in raids. I wonder who he’s raiding with. I’d like to know where to send the sympathy cards.

It might sound boring but I don’t have the attentionspan I guess.. Plus; on weekends I often play drunk… So I don’t really know where I’ve been and done and what NPC’ers done to progress the storylines.

Whatever FTW!

I’m disappointed with the ending of this expansion as it seems the Lich King went out with a whimper instead of the awesome strength he started out with.

That said, as fun as the fights are, Ulduar > Tournament. Finishing a raid in an hour is efficient, but not enough to hold my interest long term.

I understand that a person’s goals in this game can require them to raid in a hardcore fashion, but there is certainly a cost/benefit ratio involved. If part of the cost of your gear is becoming a different person in it’s pursuit, a mean-spirited, inflexible person, I would hope that one would find this an unacceptable cost.

I do not raid in any fashion, because I cannot commit to a regular play schedule (job and grad school commitments have to come first), but I do have in-game goals that make the it seem like work sometimes. That’s usually when I take a week or so off, and do something else that I enjoy. Jason’s point that this game is intended to be a stress reliever is important, I think. We all have plenty of stress inducers in our lives, and should be trying to reduce the number. Take a step back and re-evaluate your priorities before this games turns you, too, into an asshat.

Regarding the fact that we’re kind of getting slain. Well, it’s comparable to gladiator-fights in the ancient Rome, is it not? Fighting for your life is what people did back then to proove their worth, and it’s what we do to proove, that we are able to take down the Lich King. Those not capable will die. It’s a risk, really. The Argent Crusade needs the best of the best, and what better way is there to find that out, than to make the trialists fight for their life?

As for the protection of the area. I do find it peculiar that the Black Knight and the Lich King were able to enter the Tournament Grounds without anyone noticing it. Admitted, that is strange. But I don’t think the security level is lov. Looking at the tournament grounds, you will find a wast number of guards always on the watch, a great number of champions of The Horde and The Alliance, beasts in all kinds of shapes, not to mention all the Faction Leaders, and Tirion Fordring. I feel safe in that invironment.

So no, I don’t think it’s been a failure.

There is always enough dps in heroics nowadays .Ran a nexus with a couple players (tank and a dps) dishing out well under 800dps apiece. A few extra minutes, but no real problem. (and, because most of us are running em for emblems, it is refreshing to see players getting drops they really need – in most cases for ALTs I assume.

This is a great hunter site. Thank You!

*is apparently the only person who thinks so…*

Again this is a terrific site. Thanks Lassirra!

I especially got a kick out of your depiction of
a tank’s frantic activity

LOL I can only imagine.

I hope SOMEDAY to be able to be that active AND also far more aware of what others are up to all the while….

I ain’t anywhere close to that yet.

On balance, my experiences with the random groups have been good. I know the easy content has plenty to do with that, but still it is usually just fine. Pretty long waits, but fine (I just do a daily or two while waiting).

One thing I do which MAYBE helps a little is drop a fish feast right away, and check classes to see which drums and scroll of fortitude buffs might help and give em. That’s mainly just only to slow everyone down for a half a minute before we start….

I am a well geared hunter who does great dps and studies fight strategy. I read this and other websites BUT I didn’t know about chain heals. Not everyone played for 4 or 5 years, has friends that play, or was lucky enough to find/get into one of the few actually helpful levelling guilds.

I know this class in and out, but I don’t know somoe of the basics or how other classes relate to ours. The people serious enough about this class to blog have many alts and what not and are take for granted that we undrstand every other class.

The customization is not overly difficult but I am sure most of us are not new to spending time to tweak a mod.

For example, I have two 80s on two different servers. One of my 80s is in a guild that consists of two people. My other 80 is in a fairly small guild that rarely has enough people on at the same time to fill a 5man. My choice of guilds is based on the fact that I’ve been in large guilds before and rarely enjoyed myself. So I stick to extremely small guilds. However, that means that if I want to do certain things in-game, I have to PuG to do it. There is no other option.

Because I’ve opted for quiet, drama-free game play, I have given up the luxury of being able to run anything with players I already know. Despite that, I’ve managed to gear one character sufficiently to be doing ICC 10 on a regular basis (provided I can find a group), and the other isn’t too far behind.

My point is, it’s all well and good to say “If you don’t like PuGs, don’t run them”, but for some, that option doesn’t exist. It comes down to: “Do you hate PuGs more than you want to gear up to experience certain content?” and for many, the answer is no. It’s the same reason many people suffer through battlegrounds or Wintergrasp. The experience may be painful, but the ultimate rewards (better gear) make it worth the hassle. That doesn’t mean they can’t still complain about it in the process.

I want my dual-spec naow!
I really want to have a BM off-spec, and since I’m raiding in a guild, I just can get rid of my Sv-spec.
But I want a spirit beast!
