My posting has become more sporadic as of late, and I do apoloigize. Apart from the everyday things in life that occupy your time, ie: family, friends, work, etc… lately I’ve been compelled to play WoW more in my free time, thus the blog gets back-burnered a bit. I apologize to those of you who are regular visitors. Normally I don’t like to let more than a day roll by without a new post.
Right now I’m farming honor like a madman when I have time. I’m trying to obtain at least 1-2 upgrades per week as I progress through arena season 6. Aside from that, I’ve been pugging heroic raids for gear and emblems, as well as helping out the guild when I can.
I’ve had all of these grand ideas for posts, but when I sit down to lay them out, it ends up looking like it’s going to be a 2-3hr minimum endeavor which I then end up just aborting. I’ve really been meaning to post more helpful information for the unseasoned Hunterlings to digest as they navigate through Hunterdom. My goofy experiences and stories may be amusing for some, but I’ve been wanting to provide more useful tips and advice for aspiring Hunters.
Yesterday as I was milling about the backyard with my 2 year old I had a grand idea. I decided I’d showcase a Hunter talent each day and discuss it somewhat in depth, also explaining who would need it and why. However, when I sat down and counted out all of the talents in the respective trees, I realized it would take nearly three months to get through all of that.
31 Days of the Helpful Hunter
As a compromise, I’ve elected to focus on one tier of each tree each day, for the next 31 days. I’ll cover all of the 51 point talents in the final post. While this may not be a ground-breaking area of discussion, I do think that one man’s opinion is important, not to mention the invaluable addition of comments which flow in afterward from some of my experienced and enlightened readers.
This will provide me with an easily executable and well organized posting gameplan for the next month. I don’t foresee any problems keeping on task with this. When the Hunter Talents Overview is complete, I can then compile all of the data and publish it to a page on the site, just making sure I keep it updated when changes are made.
Hopefully I have helped a lot of folks new to the Hunter class, but I must admit, I have learned a lot from many of you people. This blog has made me a better player in my opinion, and I really respect and appreciate my fellow Hunters’ input. I want to continue to promote this round-table type of discussion so that we all may benefit.
I like to promote individual thinking, and to provide people with the knowledge to make educated decisions on speccing based on their needs and playstyle, rather than just sending them over to ElitistJerks for the latest cookie-cutter build. While the top DPS builds may be just that in the hands of an experienced Hunter, many players won’t see the benefit if they don’t know what the hell they are doing with it.
My plan is to analyze and evaluate each Hunter talent, and then indicate which build(s) would need it and why. I’ll still be posting silly screenshots, talking about how awesome I am, and sharing in-game experiences, but it’s important that I dedicate myself right now to giving back to the Hunter community. So, without further ado… let’s begin!
. A PvE player would be good to add more spice (you’re mostly PvP, or am I wrong?).
. My wife is already going for the second achievement “New born!”… I AM NOT PREPARED!
