Strange. I can remember lyrics to songs I knew in Jr High, but I can’t remember where I left my damn car keys this morning.

And thanks Sid..I knew I missed at least a couple.

It is funny how easy song names and lyrics come back to you, isn’t it?

Dazed and Confused
Immigrant Song
Communication Breakdown
Good Times Bad Times
Over the Hills and Far Away
Trampled Underfoot
Whole Lotta Love

I am guessing I missed some. Let me know which ones.

Cheers!

The main reason I bought a Li’l XT was so I didn’t have to carry a Train Wrecker in all my characters’ bags.

I never had any intention of playing anything other than BM. And I have to agree…it’s a ton of fun. Just the Exotic pets are enough to sell me on the spec, but I really, really like the fact that my pet is almost as much a part of my DPS as I am. It makes me feel like my pet isn’t just a vanity item, but that he’s a very real and important part of me as a whole.

I was determined that if I was going to play BM, I was going to play it well. Good Hunters of other specs with comparable gear may be able to out-DPS me any day of the week, but I don’t make it easy for them. And I’m not letting anyone else “lolBM” me. (I use Loque’nahak for my standard dungeon pet, so it’s pretty obvious what I’m running.)

I haven’t been on him since 4.1 dropped, so things may have changed…but I was regularly beating out just about everyone on the meters. Even on boss fights. I know meters aren’t everything, but still…when Mages and Rogues are complimenting you on your DPS as BM, it feels good.

It’s also amazingly empowering when you have a save-the-day moment because your pet is just that much more equipped to handle situations compared to other Hunter pets. I was in a H Deadmines run where the tank died to Foe Reaver at the 30% mark. I set my pet to Solo mode (Cower off, Growl on), got him to get aggro, and pet-tanked the boss for the rest of the fight. I’m pretty sure our healer picked up on that fact and helped me keep my pet alive (and kudos to him for that), but still…it was one of those moments that totally made my day.

After months of playing and trying to understand the ins and outs of playing a holy/shadow priest, and learning to heal with a druid at level 85 for the first time, playing on the hunter I’ve just gotten lazy. So far I haven’t done any research into the “ideal” talent tree (for BM – no way am I giving that up!), nor the stats or gear required (other than generalisations). I suspect, thinking about it, that I may even have some empty or wrongly used glyph spots. I’ve not looked at anything recommending rotations, etc.

Bearing in mind her gear is a mix of 333 blues, and quest blue/greens, the lowest being about ilevel 308 iirc, I was completely gobsmacked at the about of dps she can do. No doubt it will go down in heroics when we CC more/do less AoE, but I was getting close to what my shadow priest was getting in full heroic plus crafted epic gear. Completely bonkers!

I’ve got a really cool pet too, the “Hive Controller” from Thousand Needles … probably not a recommended raid pet, but he does a cool buff, looks amazing and is very handy with his webbing ;-)

Seriously, if it happens and eventually they spam you, you’ll realize “it’s nobody’s fault but mine”

For 33k rep (12k honored -> revered & 21k revered -> exalted), you get a whopping 20 agility and 5 mastery as a hunter. I wouldn’t feel any huge pressure to get that done.
