Welp, I Can’t Shake This Sense of Impending Doom
After my last post I told myself you can’t do another until you stop whining about real life. I mean it. Enough. Shut up already. So I’m hanging around Stormwind and notice these crazies passing out pamphlets. Whoa … after reading a couple of those I started to think Azeroth might be in for some serious, I don’t know … doom. It certainly did the job of distracting me from real life.
Yeah, I admit the first thing I did after the pre-expansion patch was spend a couple of days getting the Fabulous achievement and fiddling endlessly with everyone’s banks.
I was going to do It All Makes Sense Now the old fashioned way but after the first two doomsayers I’d had enough, so Cat found a great spot in the Dwarven District to repeatedly plummet from the skies and die and have a quick walk back. The only downside Cat said were the two guards standing by her corpse. They REFUSED to turn around when she came back to life in her underwear. Nevertheless she managed to get over her embarrassment and complete it.
There are some weird things going on. Don’t know if it’s just me. Everybody Cat speaks to in her garrison has an echo when they talk, it’s kinda spooky. Then I keep getting dizzy, it’s like screen induced vertigo. Do you think it’s the demons? Naw … maybe it’s just a funky Nvidia driver update. Couldn’t be the demons.
Next up! Talents! So Feral and Warlocks are really the only classes that I know what you’re supposed to be doing. Not like I do what you’re supposed to but I at least know. I mean I know what I’m supposed to be doing with Tigers Fury but I’m too lazy and just stick it on a macro and have it just go off willy-nilly but it works for me and Cat hasn’t complained. So Feral Cat and the Warlocks are ready to kick ass and take names.
After reading a little about Destruction I actually got an addon to keep track of immolate which is totally out of character for the Warlocks. They aren’t that organized.
Uh oh. I was going to select talents for my Paladin. The first Paladin to ever make it past level 45. I really like her but I kind of cheated to get to 100. She pretty much got to 100 because of an addon on which she’s totally dependent, or really I am. CLCret. It’s looking not too good for an update …
Okay, moving on to my BM Hunter. I selected talents, took her out for a spin and WTF! I’m doing something wrong. I admit to being a very mediocre Hunter but I now appear to be basically a cheerleader for my pet. I spend a lot of time standing around watching them while yelling, yay, you go pet. Any knowledgeable Hunter out there please feel free to tell me where I went wrong.
Okay, my final feeling of impending doom is … I don’t remember how to make money. I just don’t. I am relieved that I’m not tied to the garrison because of my fixation on vast riches but I’ve kind of forgotten how I made money before. I mean I was pretty lazy about it but I did make money … somehow.
Anyway … something evil this way comes … I can feel it. Get ready.

I can’t say I’m awesome or even that knowledgeable but I’ve played a BM hunter as my main since I started in Wrath & right now…*laughs* I kind of feel the same way…while I just stand there waiting for something to pop back up so I can use it while my pets tear into stuff so believe me…it’s not just you.

Oh! Thanks for that, I wasn’t sure what I’d done wrong. I always read Icy Veins advice and just sometimes make changes as I don’t raid but I thought I’d done something waaaaay wrong.
I’ll have to try getting used to her, she’s always been BM and I don’t have any desire to change her but this will take some getting used to!

Oh I know *laughs* I have 2 BM Hunters & it’s the same on both of them. My son warned me there’d be a learning curve *chuckles* guess I should’ve listened. And good luck!

That’s kind of how I’ve *always* played my hunter, so, finally I will be doing it right! xD

You were ahead of the curve! Here you’ve been doing it the right way all along and we’ve just caught up!

Being an unrepentant altoholic, I have a number of hunters, so I switched a couple to have a Surv, MM and BM. The Surv is fun so far – 2H sword and a tank pet. A bit worried about survival for the MM with no pet, and feel a little vulnerable with the BM. Miss the glyph that let me constantly redirect to my pet. As soon as I cast heal on ‘Mags’ I draw aggro from secondary mobs (they must be all PVPers – “healers must die!!”). Been playing another game of late (got sick of the garrison), and came back to WoW for expansion. Keep forgetting I can’t dodge in WoW 🙂

Oh, maybe I should give Surv a try. My hunter has always been BM but unless I get used to just standing there healing I might need to try a change.
Ha! I’ve played other games and could never remember that I could dodge!

Going through all my banks and bags was such a massive undertaking. Glad to have it done though and I did cheat as well for that Doomsayer achievement.

I know, and I’m still finding toys I missed in all their bags.
Lol, I started cheating when I thought, what if they fix the dying reset tomorrow. Oh no, better start dying!

I’ve gotten kinda overwhelmed at all the little things I need to do. It got confusing again. I knew what I was doing before and now…

I know, every expansion I start over. I haven’t been reading about changes like I usually do and now I’ve got to catch up. I’m just going to worry about Feral and Warlocks right now.
I do miss my buffs though, keep trying to use them and forget they aren’t there!

My lot are too wardrobe obsessed to even notice the Doomsayers. As it currently stands, they’ll be heading towards the destruction of Azeroth extremely well dressed but chronically under-prepared.

Your characters have it right! It’s not what you know it’s how good you look doing it!!

DOOOOOM!!!
There. Now you’ve got that impending sense of doom out in public.

Thank goodness, now I can stop waiting for it!
