You had me at /petattackFollow

Aethien and Isyris... I rolled a hunter because of you.

Why are hunters so much fun to level?

I loved leveling my Hunter, the not-so-fun bit is raiding with her. Heroics are a blast, though.

I think part of it is that it never really feels like you're alone, because you've got a huge ferocious ball of fur or feathers following you around and making all those mouthy melee mobs pay for crossing you. I know I tend to get pretty attached to my pets, and most of them have personalities and backgrounds of their own.

Plus I still totally love Pokemon, so....

Anyway. How's it going for you so far?

Yeah, you do kind of have to work to make hunter leveling interesting--lots of red quests and kiting mobs that will chomp you to death if they get into melee can be fun, though. I enjoy it because it gives me a little more opportunity to explore, get myself into potentially sticky situations and not get killed, and actually read the quest text while my pet goes wild. My baby warrior requires a lot more concentration, and I will admit that leveling her is a little more fun, if much less relaxing.

Wait till you get BW, then you can go switch to aspect of the beast while it's up. ;)

I level with no Talents, it's the cool thing to do.

The only part i really hate about leveling is when you get ganked by a hordie hiding right where you needed to get or kill something, and the leveling part for the pets. I am running 4 separate pets, and when i havent used one for a while, it comes in 5 levels lower then yourself and you have to level it up yourself, which goes pretty fast when your questing. When you are in instances, though your pet levels very slow if not at all.

Well he's at level 23 so far and I'm absolutely loving the tenacity pets.

I'm wondering how long I'll be able to keep his name... Bowjobsyeah

The odd part about his name is I generally use guns since he's a dwarf.

I have always loved the hunters ability to have fun and it was the first class i felt suited my limited abilities ( to old to remember all the spells ) in playing the game . I will never be great at end game with my hunter at least not in instances/raids as i just cannot think fast enough for that plus i hate anywhere inside with my hunter.

BUT i find hunters so relaxing in farming green mobs as i usually set my pet into full attack mode , and if you have never tried it you are missing a fun way to play , its so unpredictable i know but when your pet attacks a mob and you assist you then loot mob and then find the mob your pet is attacking now and you almost never get aggro as the pet has half killed the mob before you start shooting , it takes a little while to get used to it and sometimes you will have to control the pet but that is all a part of the fun for me and believe me when you pick the right mobs its an endless orgy of kill/loot and usually i have to stop my pet at times just so i can catch up with the looting , you can do it with the same level mobs or slightly higher but that needs practice on the green mobs first.

I guess i do role play a little with my pets as i prefer them to do what a natural semi wild pet would be doing so having them on aggressive works well for me , and its surprising just how many blue items i have looted off of trash mobs i would not even have bothered with . Yes it takes longer to do quests but i think the added exp from all the dead mobs outweighs the slower questing and the extra gold is always useful.

Critting 26,000 with Kill Shot makes me sad :(

Let me guess...he thinks orcs are hawt?

Woo, go Aethy!

Now you just gotta xfer over to NA servers and play some games against me :)
