Marksmanship and Me

I recently went to ulduar as a Marksman hunter and while i was finding it incredible fun i was also finding my DPS had plumeted from averaging 5k in 10mans down to 2.8k, needless to say i was shcked beyond belief as i thought my performance dps wise was second to none (with my gear level offcourse) i had put in a few practice hours at the herioc boss dummy and un-buffed i was loving it at 4k-4.4k.

so what happend!!?

well the only conclusion i and a few freinds could come up with was that i was moving to much, this would make sense to me anyway.

the spec i was using was a tried and tested one for this patch from Hunters Union i also followed the armor pen spec guide from here to a T as much as i could in every fight.

my armor pen is 560
my steady shot hits harder than arcane shot
and my crit is above 50% buffed in raids (43% normally)

so the fundamentals are all correct.

to be honest it was a little embarressing, i would not care if it was a pugged group id chalk it down to experiance, but as this was with the guild, altought they new i was testing the spec it was still a little embarresing, though on the upside i was still fourth opposed to 1st or 2nd on the DPS meters, yes i know dps meters arnt everything so on fights where i was on add-duty, like XT-Deconstuctor and i kept getting eye-beamed from kologarn is understandable, sadlt i do not know what my DPS was on Ignis but im presuming around the same.

back to the drawing board for MM and Me!

10-Man OS3D!

First raid with Atta Tirini, and what do i get pulled into!? OS3D and we make it! i will now be known as;

Dothias, of the nightfall

I would also like to thank everyone for sticking hard at it, it was extreamly fun and ofcourse congratulations to all of Atta Tirini for downing 10man 3D!

P.S. Congratulations to Belnor for winning the black drake!

Long time, no Blog!!

It has been a very long time since i have blogged here about my hunter...or anything at all.
That is mainly because i decided to try out Aion: The Tower Of Eternity and got addicted to it for about....oooooh 3 months until i really found out what it was, which in all honesty was dissapointing.

anyway! so I'm back and if i have any follows or readers who care....thats great! *laughs* and back with a bang, now i love my former guild The Regiment of Stormwind, but it was getting so inactive and so much of a strain to recruit anyone i chucked in the towel, transfered to horde didnt like them transfered back to alliance and joined Atta Tirini, now this is how the Regiment used to be....fun! im sure i'll return to the Regiment someday but for now i will be a part of Atta Tirini's raid team(s) whenever i can.

The Engineering Ultimatum

Engineering so far is going extreamly smoothley, i have been lucky enough to of had alot of support from a good freind (and our Guild-Leader) to level it up at mimimal cost, i am only at 278 at the moment but seeing as i have only spent about 2hours working for the skill points enduring the Arena, Dailiy and Daily Trial of the Champion to try and get my Marrowstrike (which i have not seen drop once yet by the way) is a pretty good skill-up rate. but now i am knocking on the door of 300 Engineering i simply cannot decied between the Gnomish or the Goblin routes so its time for a little pro's/Con's List

Pro's Gnomish------ Pro's Goblin

Gnomish detah----- ray Rocket Launcher
World Enlarger-----Seforium Charge
X-ray goggles?----- Global Sapper Seforium Sapper Charge!

i suppose the thing to decied from is that Gnomish is alot more fun and light-hearted while Goblin is all about blowing stuff up! and i like the blowing stuff up part. i have always thought about going Goblin Engineering but now the time has come to actually make a choice i really cant decied. i think i will end up going Goblin simply for the Global Sapper Seforium Sapper Charge having this to help blow-up doorway's and siege vehicles etc would be very usefull, not to mention it also hurts players (and myself i think) aswell, i think i'm going to go for goblin, seeing as they are all about blowing stuff up but with a few more usefull additions than the gnomish....X-Ray spec!....woo...naked people?

Goblin i think it is.

The 3v3 Challenge, and 2v2 Addition.

So this season i am determined to try the arena out alot more seriously in both 2v2 and 3v3 (possibley 5v5) so this means as many games per-week as i can muster with my partners.

now seeing as 2v2 has lost alot of ''meaning'' i have turned to 3v3 and i must say it is alot more fun, especially when we get our CC rotations spot on, and comsidering me and my team mates have only done 31 matches together, it went pretty darn well alot of the matches we lost where down to focusing the wrong target, and generally getting used to our tactics, i must say both guys are great fun to arena-with and i'm looking forward to getting back to bussiness!

we went 18-13 (58% win rate) i reckon we could of gone 22-9 if we was expecting some things the teams where going to throw at us.

----

Meanwhile in 2v2 i added a new addition to our team a druid (Trueomega) the one that is also in the 3v3 team. trebreh seemed ok with the addition which is what i was hoping for.

we went 16-14 which is good, but if we didnt hit all the Priest + Rogue teams we would of got a
better ratio, either way a good second week never the less!

Friday/Saturday/Sunday will be time for some more 3v3 and alot of 2v2 with Trebreh.

Wish us luck!!

The Mammoth Conga Line....Literrally!

So there i was minding my own bussiness gemming my new helm to get the most out of it and suddenly all these Mammoths went past in a conga line, i thought ''What the hell!?'' but it just appears that this was a RP event on our realm, and what a fun one it was!

this Screen shot i shall post is near the middle, there was alot more, stretching nearly the circuit of Dalaran;
