Hunter Instance guide
"Hunters have a variety of skills they can utilize to benefit their party / raid members in an instance or just grouping. This guide will cover most of the important skills available to hunters that can help when times get rough or act as an added bonus that would otherwise not be present without a rogue. Hunters are common refered to for noobies. Unfortunately, this is a common misconception, hunters are one of the most versatile and one of the harder classes to learn; especially for instances and grouping.Hopefully some of them read this guideline of how to use some of the hunter abilities in an instance. This guide assumes you know how to control your targetting and follow vital raid and group commands. Tracking One of the most useful skill available to hunters. Other classes also have some sort of tracking ability, eg. Sense Humaniods for Druids but only hunters have them all. This enables a hunter to warn the group or raid of patrols or mobs that are hard to see. Warning: Some mobs are non classified and will not appear on your mini map unless targeted with ""Hunter's Mark"". Flare Useful to detect Invisible mobs. However, there are not many invisble mobs in 5 man instances. Only Shattered halls and Blood Furnace have them. Warning: The invisble mobs might take up to 2 seconds before appearing after flared Pets Pets are what make us hunters. They are deal good DPS and GREAT DPS if you are a Beast Mastery hunter. They are required to be alive to have that +2 % damage ( Talent ) on the hunter and they are also required to be alive to use the Beastial Wrath ( Talent ). Pets make a good off tank for normal 5 man instances however they will die in 3 to 4 hits in heroics.
Pets can also set off Ferocious Inspiration ( Talent ) when your pet scores a critical hit, all party members have all damage increased by 1-3% for 10 sec. Traps Freezing Trap is the most common trap to use in all instances and raids. No other forms of CCs can trap all kinds of mobs which are not immune to CCs. Tips: 1 ) If possible, lay the trap behind or to the extreme flanks of the group or raid. 2 ) Set up the trap before engaging if possible to allow traps to CD. This enables retrapping immediately if anything goes wrong. 3 ) Use instant casts to pull mob. DO NOT USE STINGS 4 ) Use Concussive Shot if you are not good at trapping 5 ) Remember to off your autoshot after trapping 6 ) Pull mobs in a straight line back to your trap if you arenot good in trapping 7) Use line of sight to pull casters or use Silencing shot ( Talent ) Warning: Traps take 2 s to activate. Some mobs can run or charge over your traps without activating it. In this case, you can consider to stand right behind your trap and tank one hit to allow the trap to activate. However this is strongly not recommanded as some mobs can one-shot us. Use Scattered shot on them and lay a trap right under them is another better choice Snake trap is one of the most cool trap ever. However, it is not that useful in instances. It is only proved useful in Kara in the fight against Shade. wow gold Lay on snake trap under shade and watch him cast spells at them. Immolation trap can be used to add another dot on mobs but in an instance, this trap is quite useless unless in boss fights Explosive trap is quite useful to AOE groups of non elites like those groups of undeads before moros in Kara. Shots Concussive Shot is the bread and butter shot to kite mobs.
However, hunters are seldom required to kite anything in an instance with a good tank. Distracting shot can be used to draw aggro for pulling mobs to your traps Arcane shot should be spam whenever possible to increase DPS Steady shot should be used in between Auto shots Aim shot ( Talent ) should be used during a fight only on mobs that can heal themselves or will be healed. Otherwise, Aim shot should only be used as the first shot of the fight. Muti Shot is one of the best shots ever but they need to be used careful. wow gold You will NOT be invited to a group or raid ever again for breaking 3 CCs in one go. Stings are pretty much self explained use them as you see fit. DPS Just the standard Shot cycle and Stings to max DPS Talent skills Intimidation ( Beast Mastery 30 ) ( Mana: 6% ) ( Range: 30 yards ) Command your pet to intimidate the target on the next successful melee attack, causing a high amount of threat and stunning the target for 3 seconds. Most bosses are immune to stuns. Use this only when your pet is off tanking. Wyvern Sting ( Survival 40 ) ( Mana: 115 ) ( Range: 5 - 35 yards ) Stings the target, putting it to sleep for 12 seconds. world of warcraft gold When target is awoken, X damage will be dealt over Y seconds. Very useful to mutliple CC Scattered shot ( Talent ) is one of the most useful shots for hunters in instances and raids. Use it when you screwed up your trapping or trying to save your healers or casters from an angry mob. Trueshot Aura is a great bonus Ap to the party Expose Weakness is recommended for hunters with at least 700 Agi " "... is all the class synergies. wow gold Yep you heard it here, the class synergies are a problem with BC raiding. Why is this. You might ask, well it''s not overly obvious at first. mp3 player On first glance it looks great, all these classes capable of buffing other members of the raid and all these synergies available through talent specs and whatnot. You have shadow priests benefiting all the casters with misery, the warlocks with shadow weaving, warlocks benefiting casters with curse of elements/shadows, curse of recklessness for the physical DPS classes. You have mages applying scorch debuffs to help out other fire mages or fire throwing warlocks, or frost mages helping out other frost mages. wow gold Feral druids'' Leader of the pack benefiting their group, hunters'' ferocious inspiration benefiting either melee or caster dps and being dependent on crit, so the druid LOTP buff helps them out, survival hunters helping out the entire raid''s phsyical dps classes and even the marksman hunter provides a fair to middlin buff to physical dps classes with their trueshot aura.

How to find a guild
"I’ve been playing this game close to two years and I’m on my third guild. No drama, no guild meltdown, just life. My first guild had a couple officers leave due to personal issues, which resulted in several sub-segments of the guild forming their own new guilds. My second guild saw several of it’s officers leave to start a more hardcore raiding guild, which resulted in a mass exodus. There were no hard feelings either time, just time to move on.wow gold My second guild breaking up happened early fall 2007. I say it broke up, which isn’t really true. Once the officers left, then the second wave left to either join the new raiding guild or move on. The guild (which was once 500+ strong), dwindled down to around 50 or so folks with only a handful of 70s. I ended up leaving the guild to go solo for a while. I had some personal issues going on and wasn’t playing much anyway.cheap wow gold Fast forward to early 2008 and I was ready to get back into the game. I really needed a guild, having fallen so far behind in so little time. People talk about how quickly players eat up new content, but I think the reverse is also true. You can take just a couple months off from this game and really fall far behind. So I started the process of looking around for a guild. I really wanted to find a good guild that fit my play-style, my play times, and had the kind of attitude that matched mine. I wrote briefly on this topic before and got a lot of great comments. At that time, I promised to make this topic into an overall guide and here it is. Obviously, there is no right or wrong way to find a new guild, and this writeup simply reflects my experiences.
Use your own best judgement as to what works for you or not. If I’ve missed anything or you would like to add to what I’ve laid out here, leave me a comment and I’ll consider including it. " "1. Get QuestHelper Addon 2. Get a good Leveling Guide 3. Get a proper Leveling Build for your Class 4. Ensure you grind mobs in between Quests if they are within 2 levels of you on the way 5. wow gold Try to pick zones that have a lot of quests in a small area (Leveling Guide can help with this) 6. Get an Addon that Displays your Experience per hour Titan Panel can do this 7. Don't waste time chasing gear 8. wow gold Only do instance runs once to complete quests 9. Try to avoid grouping to do quests unless you can't do them yourself 10. Finish as many quests as you can in a zone before going back to turn them in 11. buy wow gold Plan your quest routes so that they form an efficient loop that leads you back to turn ins With the above 11 leveling tips it's hard to go wrong. Here is a detailed explanation of each tip. 1. QuestHelper is an addon that tells you where to complete each quest on the map and has a minimap direction area to point you on a recommended route. wow gold However, the recommended route feature of QuestHelper is limited and sometimes not efficient or best at all so it is highly recommended you use QuestHelper in conjunction with a leveling guide if you don't know what quests you are supposed get or what zone you need to get quests in at your level. 2. A leveling guide is key to leveling fast. The people who write these have already gone ahead and found the most efficient routes, quests, and zones you need to be in at all levels in order to get you to max level as fast as possible. 3.
mp3 players Even if you have a leveling guide and QuestHelper you may find yourself sucking hard or having problems killing mobs. It is recommended you gear your character for leveling and try to avoid PvP talents until you are finished leveling. 4. Especially early on grinding mobs in between quests can save you a lot of time because you will be getting 70-200exp per mob in the earlier levels so it only makes sense to gain experience on the way to all of your quests because most quests are only worth 1000-9000 exp for a good one and you can easily get more exp grinding mobs to and from quests. 5. wow gold If you find yourself constantly getting on flight paths or turning in quests all over the place it is best if you quickly realize that even though you can go AFK this isn't an efficient way to level.

Guildmates reunited
"Way back in the day (and when I say back in the day, I mean before Diablo II had even come out, to give you an idea of how long ago this was) I was in a guild on Battle.net. We tore it up in StarCraft and were big into those silly channel moderation wars back before chat bots were restricted. I had a couple of good friends who stuck around for a while and with whom I ended up playing in Diablo II. I’m not entirely sure what happened, but I think Diablo II eventually got old and I moved on to other games, coming back for a while when the expansion came out, but I lost touch with most of the people I had hung with. Fast forward a few years later when World of Warcraft comes out, I’m in a new guild, really open, social and casual – meaning we let in pretty much anybody. I was playing on one of my characters named Coldfire – the same handle I had used since the beginning of my time on the Internet. This guy in the guild I had never seen before starts giving me guff about being unoriginal and having jacked the name from somebody (for a period of time, I was well known in certain circles on Battle.net). I responded that I had been using the name for almost eight years, through Kali and Battle.net and various other games. He said, “Wait, you were Coldfire on Battle.net. ” Me – Yes Him – Coldfire from 666. (666 was my old guild) Me – Yeah, who is this. Do I know you. Him – Dude, I thought you were dead. This is Damian. Turns out, completely at random, one of my old friends from Battle.net had just so happened to roll a character on my realm, and just so happened to have joined the same guild I was in.
It was the biggest coincidence I’ve ever seen in my life. We’ve kept in contact since then and every once in a while tell old stories about the trouble we got into on Battle.net. World of Warcraft for the win. :D " "Everyone talks about guild drama. Let me tell you about mine. My guild was in Molten Core. We had it on farm, so we were basically going through the motions, making sure that all of our new recruits were geared up correctly for our Blackwing Lair runs. wow gold We got to Shazzrah, where I (as a rogue) had the job of standing around with a bow or gun. Not very rogue-like, to be sure. Being Combat-specced, I wanted to be in the thick of it, fighting alongside the main tank. The fight begins, and all of a sudden we yell over VOIP “FOR THE ALLIAAAANNNCE!” and I and four other rogues rush in and start meleeing Shazzrah. wow gold Our guild is exploding over Vent, talking about how we’re going to wipe now. Our tank is yelling. Our healers are going crazy. cheap wow gold But the rogues are alive! Shazzrah is very vulnerable to melee. The day before, the rest of the rogues and I had bought full sets of leather Arcane resist gear, spending a lot of gold, just so we could go in and surprise our guild with a quick melee Shazzrah kill. With our resists up that high, we barely got hit with any of his Arcane Explosions, and we all survived the fight to bask in our victory (and the heart attacks of the rest of our guild). The gear wasn’t going to bring us victory anywhere else. wow gold The investment wasn’t for something permanent or even remotely lasting. But those few moments—in with my friends, laughing our heads off, destroying a boss who had relegated us to the sidelines for so long—that’s the kind of togetherness that World of Warcraft can bring a group.
My boys and WoW As a mom, I am always concerned about the things my two teenage boys are doing online. mp3 players When I saw the new game they had gotten interested in, World of Warcraft, it caught my eye, first due to the beautiful artwork and creativity of the settings and characters, but then because of the unique interaction I witnessed with this game. At first, they were sharing a computer, and one copy of the game. They would take turns, and they were helping each other indirectly within the game. wow gold They would share items, help set groups up, and give each other advice from over each other's shoulders! It was great how they worked together! Eventually, we saw the need to purchase not only another copy of the game, but also another computer for my younger son (these ended up being their last year's Christmas gifts!) so that they could play together at the same time.
