shot rotations

i havnt played my hunter since BC lvl 70 got him to 74 then quit, a lot has changed just curious whats the best stack as far as stats, and a shot rotation, i used to pretty much just spam steady shot timing it right you get the highest possible dps

Hunter boa ?

ok so im starting a brand new hunter and was wondering if i had to buy the leather boa or if i could get the mail boa and it would work for my hunter before he hit lvl 40? what boa do you guys recommend me getting?
All pve
mail shoulders
mail chest
double daggers with agility enchants
bow
mail helm
agility cloak

The mail automatically scales armor type based on level. If can wear only leather first, it's leather. When you can wear mail, it turns into mail.
i was under the impression you cant enchant boa items? is that wrong? and is there 1 boa dagger that you just buy 2 of?

You can enchant them with enchants that have no lvl requirement.
And yes.
You can use Vanilla Enchants that don't require a speciffic ilvl. +15agi to 1h weapon, +4stats to chest etc.

Balanced Heartseeker isn't unique so you can use 2 of them

So who's got what Madexx?

I recently tamed the almighty epic looking rare spawn scorpion pet, Madexx from Uldum. And I love it!

I tamed the blue one, what have you guys gotten so far?


I HAD a blue one too but had to abandon for some of the new MF pets :( i found Skarr and Deth to be more desirable and since i have all the spirit beasts and my original wolf Redd(who i wont give up) there simply is not enough room for Madexx no matter what color skin :(
I got da black one
I've never even seen him yet lol, and I'm in Uldum all the time.
I had all of them but I let two go. That said, I still have the eye tic from spending so much time there.
I used to have the green one. Had to let it go to make room for other pets, before they expanded the stable.
I have him, but not one of my favorites.
Red and Blue, I had black but damn blizzard made it common, so I let him go :(
I had green and black but abandoned both and found red the other day was happy after seeing black 10times "rofl" finally find red
I only have green, though I don't use him much.
Had blue. Now brown.
Madexx was the 2nd hardest rare for me to find, 9 madexxes, 2 black, 3 blue, 2 green, the rest brown, what a nightmare. Finally got the red one, was the last one i needed. Hang in there hunters, hopefully youll have better luck than i had
hahaha uncle muscles is fantastic

i have the blue one and dont think ive ever used him. but just wanted to show my support for the uncle muscles hour
check out the name of my dethilac and blue madexx
Got the red/purple one, first day of NPCscan no less.
I got the dark red version the first and only time I tried to camp him...very lucky for me, it looks really good.
i have the brown one an the green one

Hunter Stream Firelands <Blood Legion>

Going to be testing out streaming this week starting tonight @ 8PM EST if anyone is interested link is http://twitch.tv/chrism47

o_O Feel free to ask questions and I will try to answer them between bosses.

Flames INC
Will you guys (gals) be killing HM Rags tn?
Yes going live soon
Watching it now, seems like you pulled some foolies on us :) I'll tune in tomorrow for your guys' main group. GL tn on your staff stuffs.

Rofl @ spotify rage
Thanks for everyone that tuned in sorry about the Class mixup. I will be on my actual Hunter next same time. We do 2 25man Heroic 7/7 Firelands clears divided into half mains half alts. Tuesday is always my Hunters day and Wednesday is always my Warlocks day but I guess we were missing some people from Group 1 because they're at Blizzcon so we switched the day I started streaming. Sorry about this tune in tomorrow. Oh and about Spotify I'm switching to Pandora lol.

Snake trap buff idea

1: Remove Deadly Poison.

2: Make Cobra Shot refresh other snake poisons.

thoughts?
Other poisons aren't useful in PvE..

Marks doesn't use Cobra Shot, and it's currently the best spec in PvP.
I personally would just be happy if they took the deadly poison off. That's all I ask

This would buff MM and the other 2 specs for pvp if said changes were made. Although I think that just removing deadly poison would be enough. How often is snake trap used in PVE anyways?

Hunter PvP

Are hunter really bad at arenas like alot of people are saying? I plan on pvping on this toon once I get him fully geared and I'm doing good at bgs and such. But I also plan on doing arenas. Are people over-exaggerating hunters at PvP?

Also what spec would be best for PvP? BM or MM?
Hunters are ok, just hard.

MM has more control.

You can BM your way up to 1800 easy... in 2v2.

This is my first season actually doing arenas. In my opinion we aren't that bad overall. It's somewhat frustrating having people pole hump. >.< There a lot of things you will need to adjust and have fast reaction to. Good luck.
Were the lowest pvp class as a whole at the moment (not spec, but the entire class). The people saying were fine are probably playing under 2200, but as you get to a higher rating its a lot harder

Disappointment Over New Spider Pets

I realize that the art department has their work cut out for them. But with these new spiders in Firelands, would it be too much to ask to make the rare tames slightly different than the normal ones running around? It's a little disappointing to know that three of the five rare challenge tames have a normal version that can also be tamed, and makes it to where those rares are utterly pointless for collectors.

There is no reason to tame Skitterflame. He's a rare red fire spider with the exact same model as the Cinderweb Spinner. In fact, you could tame a Cinderweb Spinner and call it Skitterflame.

There is no reason to tame Anthriss. He's a rare yellow fire spider with the exact same model as the Cinderweb Creeper. Again, you could just tame a Cinderweb Creeper and name it Anthriss.

There is no reason to tame Kirix. He's the rare green fire spider with the exact same model as the Cinderweb Broodling. Yet again, the Cinderweb Broodling can be tamed and named Kirix.

Solix is the rare orange fire spider. It shares the same model as the Cinderling, but thankfully, the Cinderling cannot be tamed.

It seems that Deth'tilac is the only unique colored fire spider out of the whole bunch, but even then, it's still just a color swap. Can anything be done about the new challenge tames to make them stand out a little from their less rare brethren? Can we maybe have the rare challenge tames be bigger than the normal spiders when tamed? Or possibly a cool fire aura or something that differentiates the rare challenge tames from the normals?
Ive said the same thing. No point in going for wasting time taming them when you can get is brothers and sisters lol
I find it more satisfying to know that I DID tame a pet of varying challenge as opposed to grabbing a carbon copy and posing it as if I actually worked for something.
Im a collector. Pets, Mounts, Companions, Tabards, Keys, etc.... And those 3 spider pets were anything but utterly pointless for me. Same with Borwn Maddex. Same with Rakshiri which shares a model with the now very common Shy-rotam. True Deth'tilac was the one i decided to keep but thats because theres only so many stable slots and i was only willing to give one to a spider. If i had more slots would I be satisfied going after the common three and naming their after their rare counterparts? Never. As a collector it would gnaw at me endlessly.

What was the point? That they exist. That I knew they are out there, challenges made specificly for me, and I hadnt tamed them. Not to parade them around outside the bank in Stormwind.
It would have been a better idea if the spiders had a unique ability as opposed to the regular spiders. EVEN IF the ability is the web does a small amount of fire damage. better that than a basic web that the silithid bugs and shale spider spew out.
Cinderweb Broodlings cannot be tamed. So yeah....

Actually they can. Theres 2 types. The normal small green ones that are always there cannot be tamed. There is also a random spawn of a small pack of them that runs around for a few minutes then despawns, these can be tamed. I myself had one until I managed to stumble across Kirix and get him.

I do agree about the Rares though, something should be done to make them different than their common counterparts. Hell, let them keep the Web ability like it, however change it to the Fire Web type that is in Beth'tilac's lair. Not game breaking, but would show that they are indeed unique.

They most definitely can be. Petopia is wrong in this case.
