WoW: I have a Hunter’s heart
Embarrassingly, I’ve been working on bringing up a new Hunter. How many is that? I don’t know. I don’t have enough fingers and toes to count that high. I already have a 22 Hunter on this server, but for some reason I don’t like him. I’ve decided on this server where I’m rich, over 4000 gold now, and it’s better to be rich than not. I’ve been using Joana’s Horde guide which, once you get used to it, works very well. My only complaint with the guide is I sometimes just want to mindlessly grind and not work some complicated quest. Not that I can’t grind if I want, but many of Joana’s suggested quests are part of a chain and you’ll regret skipping one later. Often, I just want to play for a short time. Joana’s system takes you out in the field for long periods. Which is ok, you can camp out there, but you’ll miss out on zzz-rest experience.
Why Hunter? They are killing machines - fast with little downtime. Given a little room, they are hard to kill. They run fast also. I’ve said it many times. With a Hunter, the fight is over there. If there’s trouble, “over there,” you can easily run away, leaving your pet to handle things. If you get far enough away before your pet dies, he will blink out, easily whistled back to your side ready for the next battle. A Hunter’s worry is ammo, pet food, and backpack space for loot.
Hunters don’t get many random group invites. I’m basically a solo player so that’s not a problem. Starting new toons lately, I’ve recieved many group invites. When I did a /who on the group invite-or, they turned out to be level 1 toons somewhere I wasn’t. I figured it was some kind of scam, and eventually accepted an invite just to find out. Yup, it was a script telling how I could have someone power-level my toon and how to contact them. Maybe I should hire them to run a few Hunters to level 22 for me.
