What is Hunter Wonder Day you ask, it’s the day that hunters turn into damage super heroes and get lots of fat loots. (Maybe I can convince Blizzard to add it to the official World of Warcraft Holidays.)

My little orc hunter definitely celebrate it just recently. Check out her obscene crit. (It is completely real, no photoshop magic here!)

Usually she runs more in the 8k crit group, but that day she did have some help (besides me!). It was in the midst of completing the quest The Battle For Crusaders’ Pinnacle. The Crusaders, ever determined to win, buffed her with bonus damage. That coupled with criting Kill Shot allowed for the 20k crit range.

But the Hunter Wonder Day was not over because after completing that quest she ran a heroic dungeon and got a fancy new bow! Drake-Mounted Crossbow !!

Every day should be Hunter Wonder Day. =D

As a Hunter most of my attention is focused on a few things, DPS (the higher the better), Pet management (as in try not to have it run off, agro everything in range, and thus kill my entire party/raid), and agro management. Sometimes I even get to crowd control and back in the day I used to pull (ah the days of Feign Death pulling, recapturing a fine EQ moment).

I pass off agro as much as I can with skills and feign death and I do a pretty decent job of staying out of harm’s way, but there are still times where I manage just a bit too much damage and get the attention of the big bad monster anyway. It’s made worse by my need for pick up groups, meaning the skill and equipment of the tank is not something I can count on.

And then the Death Knight joined the happy little World of Warcraft family. The more I play alongside them, the more I love them. A skilled Death Knight can keep agro like no other class.

It’s fabulously fun, but it’s also made me lazy. I hardly pay attention to my agro anymore. In times of panic, which inevitably happen (not always my fault!), I have lost track of my feign death button (due to laziness) and actually died. DIED!

This is of course entirely due to the death knight being so awesomely awesome. Pretty soon I will just auto follow the Death Knight tank around and sit back with a hot cup of cocoa. And they said hunters were easy to play before. Pah!

Ding! I finally made it. My little World of Warcraft Hunter is all grown up.

Now it’s time for faction grinding. =D

I finally named my new World of Warcraft Pet Dino! Its a little homage to my childhood. =)

When I first saw this particular new pet the fist thing that popped into my head was Barney! I was determined to get myself one and call it Barney, but the developers foiled my fantasic plan by not providing a good purple skinned model.

Thats okay, I like Grimlock better anyway. If you still aren’t sure where the name comes from, look here.

After clawing, grinding, dragging my character to seventy in preparation for this new World of Warcraft expansion (Wrath of the Lich King) I find out that had I just waited it would have been so much easier.

In this patch they dropped the amount of experience required to get from level sixty to level seventy. ARG!

And and and, get this, they have added talent trees to hunter pets. (In case you don’t know my level seventy character is a hunter.) Not only did they refund all of my character’s talent points, now they expect me to pick talents for my pet as well. I may never spend talent points again. ^_^

Last night, okay really early this morning, I finally made level 70 with my Orc Hunter. This is the very first character I made on the very first day the live servers came up for World of Warcraft. She has 25 days 10 hours played.

Let the celebration commence.
