Boomkin needs decent gear but hates PVP! How to get it?
2010-03-29 00:00:00
i agree with gale, the only other thing i could suggest is to get as much badge gear as quick as possible.
before the patch our drops were miserable in pretty much every raid up to SWP. now you can also roll on all the old healing gear, as it wont have much crit, it will definitely be an upgrade to a green or blue. also like i said, get all the badge gear you can, heroics should be pretty easy by now, and of course kara is 22 badges (i think) for a full clear.
keep plugging away at it and soon you will be an uber boomkin. good hunting.-It's only after we've lost everything that we're f...

when to melee?
2010-03-20 00:00:00
In a group I would never melee except to escape or get a killing blow on a passing mob. In the group should be a warrior/rogue for that job.
When soloing (unless I need to lvl up a weapon skill) I only melee if by chance my pet looses aggro and the mob comes to me with low health (too lazy to feign and run away).
For PVP you will need to melee to escape all the time... or die. So for PVP should be two hand slow weapon spamming wing clip to escape (this is where your weapon skill comes into play). You will want to get the biggest one hit you can when you are escaping.
Now it seems like a lot of players have anti trap trinkets since we don't have to feign to trap anymore. Kiting is your f...

if u are a troll hunter u might want to tame this
2010-03-09 00:00:00
old raptor skins > new raptor skins.
And via the same logic, Nelfs would want cats, orcs would want wolves, dwarves would want goats (hey wait), Belfs would want... euhm.. tallstriders... and taurens would want kodo's (damn why arent they tameable?)- God Emperor of Hunters and Priest Forum Mean Person.

SV gearing optionshow I loathe thee
2010-03-04 00:00:00
Despite the title, this isn't a rant so much as an observation.
Our guild downed Curator last night for the nth time, and for the first time, he dropped the T4 glove token. There were 3 of us in line to roll on it (2 Hunters and a Warlock). First Hunter rolled...low roll. Warlock rolled...mid 40s. I rolled...52. I sent the raid leader a /w before I rolled asking them to not distribute the token to me just yet if I were to get the high roll. After I got the high roll, I sent the raid leader a /w again asking them to give them to the other Hunter. That's what they did, and I was satisfied with the outcome. (The Warlock regularly tops the damage meters, and the other Hunter does a good job skill-wise but could really use some gear upgrades). Huzzah! Our second group 1 Hunter got rid of their last green, my epic gloves from Heroic Mechanar still serve me well, and everyone is happy.
Or are they?
I ran Heroics almost nightly for a period of time to save the badges for my Shifting Camouflage Pants. In the process of running Kara and the occasional Heroic, it ...

Right out of the box we can see Kotaku readers are not hostile to role-playing games. All three here earned majorities with low not-sures, meaning respondents have heard of, considered and reacted to these games, and most like them. It helps, granted, that these are three of the biggest RPG names in console gaming, and that they were western produced. But had any of these come back with a No we'd ...

Talents, btw: mmohampionomtalent?paladin
Well, frankly I'm quite happy that they removed Blessing of Salvation. Let's be honest, 30% was a hell of a lot, and it tually ended up being a required Blessing around whh all raid eounters were balaed. By nerfing it out of the game theyan buff tank threat generation (something we've seen ross the board), keeping the math the same but without erroneous peentage redtions. I'm not sure about Hand of Srife.... 20% for 12 sonds is a pretty huge amount of damage being transferred to a low-HP omparitively)aster.ast it on Gruul today at 810 grows and that Paladin will need the attentions of a healer just to keep him alive. Removal of Satity Aura is lame, buffing of Ret Aura is ne (and makes more sense) but there havent been enough buffs to the tree to make up for it. Retadin DPS will suffer, and I ...
