I remembered my password!

I haven't posted in so long I was worried that I wouldn't remember my password. I was right. I looked it up.

Blogging is not my thing. It is difficult for me to write about anything interesting, and harder for me to craft it into the page-turner many bloggers have perfected. Just look at how many times I used 'I' in the first paragraph.

Every day I hit a few blogs to start my day while waiting for my guts to brew a healthy crap that leaves me at about 9:30AM. I peruse the sites you see on your right as you read this. I don't know how to do fancy links to the sites, so just look to your right a bit...just a few inches. See them? Good! Now we're on the same page.

Anyhoo...

Rip and Oliv have a tremendous amount of content about their respective classes. There is advice and explination throughout each of these blogs...good stuff. BRK is, well, BRK. He makes me smile most of the time, which is hard to do; especially when your bowels are summoning you to the Royal Throne of the City of Stinkfest.

I have been inspired to do a hunter post! For any real content please stop reading and click one of the aforementioned links.

There are more Hunters on any given server than any other class for a mind-bogglingly simple reason...it's easy to level a Hunter. Hunters allow for a lot of mistakes. Should you fuck up as a Hunter you have more outs than Bagdad's power grid (I liked that reference). If a Hunter accidentally pulls a mob that will easily smash him into the lush Nagrand grass the Hunter can send in the pet to grab aggro, activate the big-red-kitty talent of the pet, push the squishy saver button of the pet, misdirect to the pet, shoot Disengage shot, shoot a Cuncussive shot, drop a trap, and feign death. Blizzard designed Hunters for beginning gamers, which is why I'm a hunter.

The current hunter specs are Beast Mastery, Marksman, and Survival. All specs shoot bullets or arrows to kill stuff. A very brief description of each follows.

Beast Mastery - A common misconception is that the pet does a tremendous amount of damage relative to the total DPS of the Hunter/Pet team. This may be true in the lower levels, but once a Hunter starts raiding the other benefits of this spec shine. This spec allows you to shoot a whole lot faster than the other specs. The DPS per shot is not a monster, but the amount of shots that can be made in a given time period are staggering relative to the other two specs. There is a buff that increases the damage done by the party by 3%, which is just gravy. It is this reason a Beast Master Hunter usually tops (or damn near) WWS reports.

Marksman - Monster burst damage with this spec. This is why many PvP Hunters are Marksman. It's cool do take someone down in a few shots, but this spec eats mana like Wimpy does hamburgers (are you old emough for that reference)?

Survival - This is the best raid helping spec in Tier 6 gear. Survival Hunters are fun to play in instances. A survival Hunter can effortlessly chain trap like no other spec. The mob stays on ice better than Han Solo (Encino Man for your illiterate fucks). A Survival Hunter provides a nice buff that helps an entire raid, not just the party. The Survival Hunter will not come close to topping the WWS, but will be a major factor in the raid's success.

This is the part of the post where I close with some profound conclusion, and encourage the reader to try all of the specs to see which he likes best. There are a few more closing words, and one last flowery line that borders on clever that leaves the reader warm and fuzzzy inside.
