The Beast

Finally the fate of the beast sealed..:( it lost it's skulled in patch 4.0.3 .. it is a sad thing.
We knew this was coming. And yes, it is sad.

What New Pet Did You Tame?

i picked myself up a monkey, and an undead eagle/Diseased hawk from EPL
got me that brain silithid in thousand needles. everyone stops to look at em.
A seagull, named it Stoleurfries. I dont really use it though>.>
Got me a beetle tenacity pet for cata leveling, named em fluffy.

Incidentally converted hero farming as surv looks to be a brilliant way to level your pet, there is like 7 adds, ranged explosive trap 2 multi shots (talented for aoe) and your pet will go up half a bar, don't forget to MD to it first!!.
Chromaggus, a red beetle, Buru the Gorger (b/c the silithids in Un'Goro can't walk yet), and Ayamiss - and named it JustinBeiber. I swear the thing is so huge and brightly colored it'll be the most annoying thing ever in an instance.
I got:
green kitty
white fox
seagull
bug trio from AQ40 (blue)
brain exposed silithid
black warpstalker from sketties (the one you summon)

See armory for names (all Japanese names)

hubby got:
chromaggus
huhuran
bug trio (orange)
rare spawn fox
I heard the undead bird can fly after people on flying mounts can anyoe confirm this
Qirot (rare spawn wasp)
Skymane Bonobo
Black fox
White Phase Hound (from Kara)
Deranged Helboar
Picked up the color changing beetle to make my main tenacity pet and chromag. Looking at getting the brain silithid

Got the ghostly blue carrion bird. Hooray for making the coolest yet largest and most obnoxious pet see-through.
Blue Dragonhawk from Sunwell. <3!!!

I have a thing for them. What can I say...
Green kitty, color changing dog, white fox, seagull, and a monkey. Not to shabby.
I don't see how monkeys will get nerfed. Their 1 minute long cool-down will see to that. If anything, the blind effect will be reduced to 2 seconds, and cool-down to 40 seconds, like any other "stun/blind" pet.

Initially, I did not like the fox. But then I went out to hunt for a black one. It grew on me. I like their utility buff, and in AoE pulls, it will be very handy, and easier on tanks.

I do have the Green/Yellow parrot. It is a nice and bright pet, and I like how it's colors are so obvious and pretty.

Other than fox, I also got the new Magenta Serpent. It hisses when anyone clicks on it, which I find neat, and it looks absolutely magnificent. Being a Cunning pet, I love it, and the fox and the snake are the only two new pets that I bothered to keep.
I started to wish those big unearthed artifacts (or w/e they were) in Tanaris would be tamable as Wind Serpents.
The monkey is the greatest. That 4 second stun is freaken awesome, you can totally take out healers now.
Got the golden eagle in Loch Modan. Got the green spirit owl from stonetalon mountian on another alt.

New Quest Gear



I noticed today as I was questing that most of the rare quality quest gear that is mail is made for shaman. When I pointed it out to a friend of mine he told me that most of it is for hunters. Has anyone else noticed a shift towards shaman gear? Or hunter gear perhaps?
You're just questing in the wrong places.

BM Hunter Questions.

Alright, just have some quick questions I was hoping could be answered.

Kill Command

-Right now it seems like arcane shot > kill command. They do similar damage, but arcane shot costs 15 less focus and also procs a talent that makes pet crit.

-Will the above change as I level, or should I just be using Arcane Shot?

DPS:

-At 85, is BM DPS good relative to other hunter specs (I know Survival is beast)?

-Which pet is best for DPS? Does any Ferocity pet work or are there certain types (such as cats) that outshine the others?

Spirit Beasts:

-Is the Spirit Beast heal good?

-Are all spirit beasts ferocity (Ive seen a bear)?

PVP:

-Do you guys use Kill Command a lot in PvP, or just use arcane shot?

-Whats the best pet for PvP? Spirit Beasts look nice because of the heal, but I know that certain pets such as spiders have a snare, and birds have a disarm.


Thanks for your time.
The cost goes down 3 with the glyph, but the damage of kill comm does go up, it is critting an ave of 15k for me, and getting as high as 25k when killing streak procs while under bw when boss is > 35% (i use a slithid normally). Arcane crits for around 10k.

Nope, surv is a good 4 or 5k above bm and mm.

They are all good, bring the pet with the buff you need, thus why you get to call up to 5 pets.

I use kill comm when ever i can. and slithids make damn good pvp pets. web plus 585 stam.

Search for hunter addon

Hi,

I was just wondering if there are any addon that can show the duration of say, serpent sting or freezing trap without clicking on the mob. In dungeons I often trap a mob and then go assist the tank. It would be useful to know when the freezing trap breaks while not clicking the mob
I believe the only way to do this is by setting the target to your focus. This of course means you can't use a macro to cast misdirection on your focus, though you can edit it with your tanks name.

This macro will cast freezing trap and focus the target your mouse is over:
/cast freezing trap
/focus [@mouseover]

You can then use NeedToKnow to track the duration of the trap on your focus.

i just installed this yesterday.

Dranei hit bonus and pets

It seems the Dranei racial 1% hit buff is not applying to pets. Is this by design or a bug?

If it is by design, it really doesn't make sense to be a dranei if you play hunter as you'd need to stack the extra hit for pet maxing anyway...
I'm still not sure why they removed it from a party aura. Makes me sad.
I'm assuming that is the case. I don't mind it not being raid-wide, but it should be on the pet.

Am thinking about changing to worgen, but trying to be a little patient to see fi the issue gets resolved.

Hunter Advice

Hey everyone, so, recently i made a Goblin Hunter, and not gonna lie, i rarely ever use mana/focus users, im normally always a rogue, DK, or warrior, so, can anyone tell me what the best hunter spec for well, just absolute ownage, both PVP and PVE wise would be?
For PVE best raiding spec is SV.
I'm not sure what the best PVP spec.
There is none Atm that offer Ownage as you say. However, the most usable spec for PvE currently is SV spec. If you have any desire to PvP, don't. If you must pvp on a hunter ( not recommended currently) you can use BM with a Spirit Beast of your choice. ( choose a crab at 85) Other than that, just roll any other ranged class and be happy.
ya i just rolled a hunter too for cata,cive been wondering if it would be worth it to lvl him to pvp or if i sould roll a lock like everyone else says to do. Are hunters really that bad right now? And you think they;ll be getting any better?

Having played a hunter for over 5 years now. My best guess would be in about a year or a little longer, we'll get a few buffs and they (blizzard) will balance things out. However, at this moment my advice is avoid the class unless you just adore kiting and love to bust your fingers harder than any other class for around the same results. The Hunter Class is a serious player skill class now. If you want a challenge, and I mean a real brain twisting, pain in the butt to play perfectly challenge. This is the class to play right now.
hmmmm well any sugestions, i played a mage and hated it( boring) and i love range and mobilty? and.... pvp
Warlock/Spriest/Boomkin <---- In that order if you hate mages. Warlocks are most akin to hunters, thus I'd advise starting there.
thanks :P
