I've had my little hunter (lvl 74) waiting in the wings for over a year, I'd randomly just go on her to putz around and back off. Well now I'm gotten back into her fulltime(believe I posted about this a while back) Anyway, I'm in love with it and can't wait to hit 80 and really see what she can do. This weekend, while questing, got attacked seperately by a 71 horde dk, and a 73 Warrior. I and my gorilla won those battles, what excited me is that I am by no means a pvp'r, so yeah that probably ment they sucked bad. But the thought that I didn't get completely owned and left lying on the ground was such a nice feeling. I'd lvl faster if I could but with the amout of DPS my server, it can take 2+ hours to get a pug going and most of my guild is 80's, sometimes we run alts together, but mostly pugging. Ran a VH pug and topped the Dmg chart over a 75 dk and 74 shammy, that was something I've never experienced on my Holy Pally, also wet a ways to somewhat confim that I'm where I should be, DMG/stat wise. Can't wait to hit Zul'Drak for a blue/purple raptor there, but so far using a wolf in instances and gorilla for questing, have a cat that the raptor will replace.
All this being said, it's just such a great experience leveling her, almost forgot about my poor pally. I'm learning and reading alot on specs and gear and pets and etc...it's just always hard to know if you are stat wise where you need to be. Is there any info out there that gives an guideline/estimation on stats, numbers at certain levels(exmpl-is my AP to low/ MORE INT?).
Right now I'm specced BM, I know it's not optimal for dps and raiding but really like how it works for me so far. I'd also appreciate any input on my gear and spec. I will by no means be top hunter on my server but just want to be a good solid dependable player that can be counted on to pull my weight in a run or raid.
Thank you all for the help you give on this forum!
