Teach a noob hunter every week to play.Follow

This is basically a semi funny semi sad story if you don't like it go on to the next one.

The day before last I had a 50+ hunter I didn't know whisper me with the words.

Could you help me out?

Depends but tell me what I can do.

I want an Ah weapon it will last me until 60+ easily. could you loan me xxx gold for it?

emm you don't need it. you'll be able to get better quest greens so long as you go outlands in x levels. if not play av and do the quest for the pole arm.

But it's EPIC weapon!!! it'll last me until 63!!!

... what weapon are you talking about again?

IT's http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?source=live;witem=647

... you don't need it. it's a junk weapon for a hunter.

But it's EPIC.

1. it's not going to proc when you shoot someone.
2. strength does not add to your ranged or your pet damage.
3. a hunter using meelee is the same as a priest melee. a waste of time when the priest could wand the guy to death or a hunter using wing clip, walk away and start shooting. or fake death and continiue shooting.
Now shut up about that weapon being useful for you of I'm going to ignore.

...

...

so what is useful for me?

point of the story. someone should have told him what a hunter needs LOONNNNGGGG before he reached 50.

Bah that story would have ended for me with a stranger asking me for money. If I don't know someone and they ask to borrow money, that's the end for me, I don't need to know the what and why of the borrowing, because I don't care.

Whenever I get someone asking me for gold, I always direct them to the closest humanoid mobs outside of the city. Like if someone asks me in SW, I will tell them there are some defias right outside the gates that will gladly loan you a few copper, I am sure if you ask enough of them then you will get the gold you need.

I've never condoned asking anyone for money in games, not even guild mates. Though I am much more forgiving to guildmates, I have always been of the mindset that if I can't afford it then I go without it.

lol makes me think ofsome of the warriors and pallies i've grouped with. i'm 44 warr and read up alot i played 2 guys to 70 in eq one of wich a warr. but i get them who dont do right stuff to tank or even dps or right builds and weapons. prot pally who didnt use rightous fury. 2h weapon warr who went for fast low damage weapon instead of higher hitting one. prot warr who had tallents all over the place. after saying all this i was hopeingthey was weeded out at like 35 but i'm still seeing them. guess would help if some peeps read what others write on here. like that guy he could have learned before even playing the guy.

Best answer ever xD

That actually happened during a WC run on my BElf hunter.

There was a second hunter in the group, we killed Kresh and that shield drops, we had all wiped cause the idiot didn't put his pet away and jumped down the cliff closest to little cavern where the final dude is.

So the idiot needed the shield...When people do stupid stuff like that they deserve Ban-age

i think the first song is Cartouche, by Blackmore's Night

(ps. i didnt watch the whole movie, so dont know if there is a second song or anything...)

Huh, you know, should the game even GIVE the option of rolling need on an item that they can't equip?

I guess there's the issue of getting an item to the right person for disenchanting, but otherwise...

Also consider if that's a nice BoE mail armor, and one of the classes has a warrior/paladin alt (lets assume for instance they're in a high 30's instance and the tank has just hit 40), now the one says "can I roll need I want that for my paladin" and everyone else figures "eh, I've got no mail-wearing alts in that level range, so sure, go ahead." So now you've got the priest rolling on a mail item. Of course, that would be a nice group, most of the time I'd say to just greed it and buy it off whoever gets it.

And then you have to factor in DEing (as was mentioned). My warrior is an enchanter, but people get offended when I roll greed on BoP cloth items that nobody else in the group wants (of course, they can't do anything - I'm a good enough tank and at low enough level instances we can 4-man things, and my friend is my permahealer so I KNOW that wont be an issue, and as MT I'm group leader all the time) but I'm pretty sure some people would be mad since warriors arent usually enchanters.

we usually kick anyone who doesn't ask but rolls need when everyone is rolling greed for the instance boe drops for his alt. unless he acts nice and gives everyone else a couple of g for it. Most of the time when someone says Can I roll need for x item for my alt. I'd just reply. MM give everyone else x gold for the trouble and we'll all probably pass on it for you if noone else needs it. (unless it's bop)

Despite the OP's actual post, I will post regarding his title.

Last night I was bored and 1v1 outside of Ironforge. After a couple fights, a priest started saying hunters were OP etc,etc. I was about to ignore them when they asked me for help. "I have a hunter and would love to learn some of your tricks".

Happy that it wasn't stupid bashing, but legit wanting to get better I said "Sure Log on :)" So they did... and we dueled. I taught him/her a lot of different techniques that I use when PVPing. Then I realized their spec wasn't very optimal.. so I gave them the cash to respec if they would do as I asked.

After about an hour and a lot of fun I decided to log out. Made me happy though.
