The first game out I went for kills and damage. Ended up second in kills and third in damage despite my gear! That game I also found a Hunter to inspire me: Lolwingclip. She had top in kills and damage plus she's on my server. Just checked on the Armory though and she's not there. Great name though as Wing Clip is the best skill evar. Whenever I'm going to die, everything around me gets some Wing Clip'age. *giggle*
The next five or six games I started playing defense. I park the pig under the balcony, plant an Immolation Trap on the flag, then Shadowmeld somewhere random in the flag room. Usually it's some hot worm who comes charging in with the speed buff. If my concussive shot misses, the pig will usually get them. Then they're Wing Clipped until dead. *lol* In all the games only one uberRogue managed to get past me.
The one class that gave me trouble were Druids. Shifting allows them to drop my speed impediments plus the twinks have a lot of health, so I wasn't taking them down fast enough. But I'd just wait for my Concussive Shot cooldown and recall the pig for another charge. Close in for more Wing Clipping. It was odd but I never saw many Horde pallies, so Blessing of Freedom wasn't a problem. And the druids... well, it's my own damn fault for forgetting that Scare Beast is now instant with a thirty yard range!! *face palm* Things will be different for my fuzzy Druid opponents this evening.
Such good times. Even writing this now I'm laughing about how OP Hunters are in this bracket.
One astonishing discovery I made was getting killed repeatedly by Forgetdps… a Troll Priest wielding the Gravestone Scepter!! Every site I've checked said that BFD quest could not be attained until in the low 20s, but she had it! Naturally she did Wand Specialization for the extra 25% damage and was tearing people apart. Managed to kill her on my third rez with help from a Rogue.
I made another, less exciting, discovery last night. I enjoy starting camp fires while waiting for the gates to open. Still only 41 skill in Cooking and when the fire was lit, I skilled up! I wonder how high lighting fires can take your skill?
Had to add another line item to my “Other” list: Dartol's Rod of Transformation! *doh* Second or third game there was a Priest that used it; I still have that thing on a few of my 70's… can't believe I forgot it! I have to do it quick too because I only have three bubbles left in 18. I did manage to get a Deadmines run in where I picked up an Emberstone Staff but I still need Blackened Defias Armor. If I try for a Leggings of the Fang and a Girdle of the Blindwatcher, it could be a lot of experience.
Still having difficulty deciding on the third pet. The Deviate Viper is so gorgeous and the Poison Spit is amusing. Yet I really want a flyer. The Deviate Dread Fang is really pretty too plus Petopia shows then with a 7% DPS bonus, so I'll probably grab one when the Hunter hits 19. The Boar is really the only pet I must have, so I suppose I could just drop the Ravager. See what happens.
Had to do some Pet Skill research as I've completely ignored picking them up. At 19, I need to have:
- Bite 3: Bloodsnout Worg (16-17, Silverpine Forest); Wood Lurker (17-18, Loch Modan)
- Charge 2: Young Goretusk (12-13, Westfall); Goretusk (14-15, Westfall); Great Goretusk (16-17, Westfall)
- Claw 3: Black Bear Patriarch (16-17, Loch Modan); Shore Crawler (17-18, Westfall); Den Mother (18-19, Darkshore)
- Cower 2: Savannah Patriarch (15-16, The Barrens); Ornery Plainstrider (16-17, The Barrens); Giant Foreststrider (17-19, Darkshore); Moonstalker Sire (17-18, Darkshore)
- Furious Howl 1: Coyote Packleader (11-12, Westfall)
- Gore 3: Great Goretusk (16-17, Westfall)
