Ezra Chatterton

October 24, 2008

Sad news today for the Hunter community and anyone else who was familiar with the story of this brave young man. After a long battle with cancer, he passed on earlier this week. I first heard about Ezra a little over a year ago. His story is a heartfelt one.
You can read more about him [...]

Beast Mastery Hunter with gorilla in Stratholme = Devastation

October 24, 2008

Last night I decided to see if I could rock the timer in Strat with my gorilladin. Before the patch I could reach Baron in just over 40 minutes. After 3.0.2, I can cut that almost in half if I don’t stop to loot the trash mobs. Not to mention, it’s a lot more fun [...]

My monkey is 70

October 22, 2008

A few hours in the Netherwing Mines, followed by some ogre-killin’ in the Barrier HIlls and MONGO reached level 70. He never died, nor did I have to feed him… not even once. These new pet changes are simply superb. Behold the stats of a level 70 tanking machine. This is without any buffs by [...]

Impressive

October 21, 2008

Here’s a screenshot I took after taking down a group of Ogres in the Barrier Hills above Shattrath. This was done with my level 69 Gorilla, MONGO. I pulled both huts, as well as the 71 Elite who patrols the area. He tanked that whole group like a champion. Funny thing is, my monkey could [...]

First new pet after patch

October 19, 2008

Well, after much research and pondering I have settled on my 2v2 Arena pet of choice. It is of course…
the Bat!
Since my only two pets at 70 were Wolf and Wind Serpent I knew I had to go out and find something else for arena. I started to think my Wolf might actually be viable [...]

Five Levels In Two nights

October 19, 2008

FANGORIA, formerly known as Ressan the Needler, is now level 70 after two nights of bloodshed in the Netherwing Mines. This is a great place to grind pet experience. The mobs are plentiful and they respawn very quickly. Since I’m a skinner, I like to mow down the Ravagers and Flayers for their precious hides. [...]

Ressan the Needler

October 18, 2008

… is mine. Check back later to see why I nabbed this pet.
Now I just need to get him to 70. At least it’s only 5 levels of grinding now instead of 59. Thanks for that change Blizzard.

Day 2 of Patch 3.0.2

October 17, 2008

/cancel Aspect of the Noob
I reached deep within my spellbook and pulled out Tranquilizing Shot. I had negelected to read the patch notes due to my eagerness to get on and explore the patchy goodness first hand. I didn’t realize it removes Enrage and Magic effects. Neato. The “attempts to remove” part sucks, but Rets [...]

Echoes of Doom

October 16, 2008

This is a huge content patch. I wasn’t able to explore all of the changes on the first day, but I was able to check out a few things.
Disengage is great. It’s still going to take some getting used to (I nearly launched off the bridge in Alterac Valley last night), but it’s been very [...]
