So, I finally hit level 79 while farming for leather in Sholozar (my new favorite pastime).
This has allowed me to finally get to 440+ LW so I can now start crafting my epic gear. I'm really hoping this pans out well for me so I can get geared fairly fast. All I have to do now is finish my questing run to 80 and finish getting cold weather flying and my epic flying mount. :D Then I'll be set for getting into the grind of being 80 and developing towards the endgame.
More to come soon! I promise. :D

The Light is at the End of the Tunnel
4 Bubbles away from 79 and then my final push for 80.
I'm so stoked that I'm finally getting to this spot. Had RL not interfered I would have been here long ago. It's all good, I've never been in a real hurry. Especially considering I'm taking 3 toons through Northrend right now. I am also once again regaining the money I spent on my flying mount and I have set myself up nicely to generate even more money. This is good as I'll need it once I hit 80. Time and money is what is going to get me geared, so I'm getting prepared now. My only wish here is finding Frozen Orbs for cheap (that's not going to happen though). Either way, things are setting up nicely for me to really start plugging in and seeing what I can accomplish when 80 arrives.
The other nice factor here is that I have a ton of quests I can go back and do in several of the different zones. As well as there's a few zones I haven't even touched. :D
See everyone soon,

Getting Closer!
So I spent several hours in the last couple of days grinding for leather and working towards the inevitable point of hitting 80. I'm only 5 bubbles away from 79 now and I've upgraded a lot of my gear. It's unbelievable to see that my health is 15k+ and mana is 10k+. I'm so okay with hitting a lot harder now. I am also now only 1 point away from 440 LW so I can start making my epic gear as well. The Oracle Rep grind is coming along, I need to complete one, maybe two, more quests to hit honored and I will probably have that finished next time I play.
I'm also half way towards having Cold Weather Flying and then I'll be saving for my epic flying mount as well as for the cost of dual speccing my paladin. So much to do and I sometimes feel like I just don't have the time to keep grinding for money to get everything I need. All in all though, I'm stoked with my progress.
I am also curious to see how patch 3.2 is going to affect the game so that is something to look forward to as well.
Happy Hunting all.....

Happy 4th of July
Have a great Independence Day everyone and stay safe as you have fun this weekend.
As I've been slowly getting back into the swing of playing again and reviewing all the new info out there regarding hunters especially in reference to Marksman hunters and Survival hunters I have to say I'm intrigued. I don't think I'll ever walk away from BM as this build really suits my play style much better than the other two, it is neat to see what the other builds are able to accomplish. I was reading some interesting posts regarding the different specs and how if your a serious raider you really need to be Survival. One person made an enlightning comment, "All the specs are viable, but only one right now is hitting the best numbers." I won't get into a discussion of the theorycrafting on the differences at this time as I'm still working on coming up to speed on it all, but I will talk a little on just my thoughts.
Lich King, unlike BC, doesn't seem to rely on CC very much. Given the buffs most of the classes have received since the release of LK in doing AoE damage, there tends to be a minimal need for CC and the players that I've talked to or seen in instances really don't use it much. I see a whole lot of running into groups and then everyone just pounding the tar out of that area in beat down the mobs. While Volley is definitely powerful, given that I usually only need to use it twice against non-Elite mobs, it is not really an efficient use of my skills. I have to admit though, I'm not the best chain trapper out there so not having to rely on doing this is helpful, but I also have to wonder about the overall impact this has in a group setting. Has speed and AoE replaced strategy all together?
I am seeing that Ulduar has changed this to an extent, but from reading various posts about it, the skill level for Ulduar is still lower then the harder content in BC. I'm not sure how I feel about all of this. While I do like raiding, having the time to dedicate to it is something in seriously short supply. So I spend most of my time reading about it and doing most everything that is Solo-able. I guess the point I'm trying to make is, what is the specific role that hunters now play. We're not suited currently for hardcore PVP and it's seems the same can also be said of raiding. Sharing in the ranged DPS department is definitely suited to us and it seems as if hunters do hover near the top of the charts at times, but does having our few buffs really doing what other classes can't?
I'm asking a lot of this due to lack of experience since LK released in instances and with raiding in general so I'm really working to get an idea of the roles that we fill in these situations. Anyways, more ranting laters. Off to enjoy the 4th.
