Revisiting Outland with a new hunterPosted: January 20, 2014 Filed under: Gear, Leveling, Lore, Nostalgia, Raiding & Dungeons | Tags: hunter, leveling, lore, marksmanship, MM, nostalgia, Outland, questing, The Burning Crusade, Warcraft, World of Warcraft 7 Comments
In my "free time" – which, in World of Warcraft, generally constitutes time spent "not advancing" my level 90 characters or professions in some shape or form – lately, I've been leveling a new hunter.
Now, there is no need for me to make a new hunter, at least for the sake of hunters per se. I already have three hunters on my realm, and two of them are max level. However, I do love the class, and so when the time came to work on a new project, it was a fairly easy choice for me.
Anyway, I've got this new hunter. And this hunter has a purpose. Due to this purpose, it's extremely likely that he will never reach max level.
* * *
If I think about the history of my experience in WoW, with an eye toward my favorite parts of the leveling experience, something interesting happens.
Some people love(d) Vanilla WoW. And, the truth is, I did too; I didn't start playing WoW until the month after TBC launched, but I did spend a ton of time leveling through the "Vanilla" parts of the game when I started playing – I didn't have my first level 70 toon until just over a month before Wrath launched! And while there were frustrating and faulty aspects of that part of the game, I have a lot of good – fuzzy, but good – memories from that time.
However, that part of the game is gone. Forever.
It's not 100% gone, of course: there are areas of the game that survived the revamp (the "kill 10 Young Stranglethorn Tigers -> Stranglethorn Tigers -> Elder Stranglethorn Tigers"-type questlines come to mind, for one), but they're relatively few in number. As a whole, the Vanilla WoW experience no longer exists.
As such – and this is the interesting thing that I realized – the earliest "nostalgia-era" content that is still available in anything collectively resembling its original form is The Burning Crusade. And Wrath follows that, of course… and those two zones are the reasons that I made this new hunter.
If you've read some of my previous posts, as well as some of those from before, you may know that I'm at something of a crisis point as far as the game goes with me. A lot of times, what's needed in these situations is a break from the everyday endgame experience (or lack thereof), and that's what I've been looking for lately. Looking at the game, I realized recently that I had no characters that could play in Outland at-level – seven 90s, an 85, and two toons at or below 30. One of those lowbies is a hunter, and the other a shaman. I don't enjoy the shaman as much as I had hoped, and the other hunter is reserved for a different project, should I ever return to it.
Anyway, I decided that, while I'm not a fan of leveling the revamped content on Azeroth, I wanted to take another toon into Outland and Northrend… and I didn't feel like leveling a second DK (not that that isn't fun, but my DK is the last toon I leveled, so I'd like to give DKs a bit of a rest for the moment). So, hunter it was.
But, why Outland?
When I look back at the past few years and think about the toons I've brought to max level, starting with Mushan and including a (now deleted) mage, warrior, replacement mage, second hunter, and DK, I realized that my favorite zones to revisit during the leveling process are Outland and Northrend. They were the continents/expansions that I played before I raided, which means "back when I sucked." Back when I had no idea what was going on, or how to play. Back when the world was a complete wonder to me. When things were scary and new.
For some reason, nostalgia brings me back to those zones, to those expansions' content. To a simpler time. That's the number one reason. The revamped Vanilla content was okay for the first play-through, but there are certain aspects to the leveling process that make the experience uninteresting to me, including the lack of virtually any challenges along the way and the updating of the content to the current-as-of-Cataclysm time period.
* * *
I've set some parameters to encourage discovery, exploration, and learning… and also to ensure that I do not simply blow through to the higher levels like I usually do.
No heirlooms past level 58. I did use several heirlooms through level 57, because the goal here was absolutely to zip through large chunks of the pre-58 content at a time. Once I hit 58, I did away with them, replacing them with quest greens I had saved for exactly that purpose. I even equipped a level 15 (ilvl 22) cloak as I prepared for Outland, because that was the last one I had saved. Not that that mattered – everything has been nerfed, so the simple fact that I had something appropriate equipped in every slot ensured that questing would still be very easy.
I'm also not in a guild, for guild perk reasons (including the bonus XP perk).
Locking XP
Based on past (post-4.0) experience, a player can hit Hellfire, Terrokar, Nagrand, and SMV or Netherstorm, run a couple of dungeons along the way, and easily be 68 (and ready for Northrend) before completing any zones, and skipping the vast majority of the Outland content. My aim with this toon is to spend time in Outland, so skipping content is anathema in that scenario. Therefore, I went to Wowhead and looked up the required levels for quests in each zone. For instance, virtually all of the quests in Hellfire are available by the time players hit 61; thus, when I hit 61, I lock my XP. This means that, once I finish the zone, I can unlock my XP, move on to Zangarmarsh, and continue gaining XP until I get to 62 (when all quests in Zangar become available). Then, when I finish Zangar, I can start Terrokar with unlocked XP and re-lock it again at 64 for Nagrand. This preserves some semblance of "I'm playing at-level," which is another goal that I have. I could do each zone and run each dungeon without locking XP, but I would quickly outgrow each zone well before I finish it if I did it that way. I'm likely going to spend more time in Outland with my XP locked than unlocked, but that's ok.
By the way, I discovered the other day that locking XP also interrupts the accrual of "rest," which, for these purposes, does not disappoint me. Knowing that I won't be out-leveling a zone quite so fast makes for more fluid progression within the zone than 30 bars of rest would – to a point, of course.
Ground mounts only. Some people may think this is crazy, but I'm determined to play it very much like I did when I first took Anacrusa through it in 2007-08. And I couldn't fly back then. Taxis (flight paths) are allowed, of course.
Additionally, while I do have a vendor mount, I will not use it with this toon.
There are quests in zones, once you get to a certain point/level, that send you to a dungeon that corresponds with the story; in Hellfire, it's Hellfire Ramparts. In the interest of playing through the story, I will run the dungeons. However, I will only do this while XP-locked.
It's fairly clear, at this point, that managing the throttling of XP-gain is a large part of this endeavor. Part of this is an experiment to see how it affects immersion; I'm of the opinion that while going back several times to Stormwind to (un)lock XP is a slight annoyance, it's no more immersion-breaking than any other non-core activity in the game, such as doing my farms every day on max-level toons, or raiding the same instance every week.
* * *
It's an imperfect science, obviously: there are several aspects of the game that are impossible to recreate. LFD didn't exist back then, there were group quest elites, stats and specs and talents have been revamped, glyphs have been added, and things have been heavily nerfed. There's no way to go back 100%, but that's something I was fully aware of as I began the project.
The goal is to immerse myself in Outland. Revisit and enjoy the lore, and experience it as authentically as possible from a playstyle perspective. Revisit some memories of formative times in my WoW-childhood. There really isn't a way to completely and accurately replicate that experience any more, but I can do things to mitigate the hyper-leveling paradigm that plagues** old content.
** "Plague" indicating a certain perspective; I know that there are many who are absolutely done with Outland in every way, but I also know that there are a lot of people who love TBC and love spending time there. So for my purposes, leveling quickly is the opposite of what I'm interested in. However, for others, it's a necessity.
At any rate, along the way, I am taking a lot of screenshots, reading quest text, and completing each zone the best I can.
By the way, I'm leveling as Marksman on this hunter, which is what I leveled Mushan and Ghilleadh with back in the day. I don't play Marks anymore on those toons, but it is absolutely killer for leveling. I approach the mob. I plant, and (unglyphed) Aim, and Shoot. 95% of the time, the mob either dies from a single shot or is critically injured (and is subsequently finished off with a Kill Shot). For elites or higher-level-than-me mobs, I do the "Aimed/Chimera" combo, and if it doesn't kill them, it usually does serious damage. Even without heirlooms, the damage is punishing if it crits, and with Careful Aim, that happens quite often…
Playing this way makes me feel more like a ranger than just about anything else in the game. And that's a fun aspect of this project, too.
* * *
As I mentioned above (and in a previous post), there's no way to 100% accurately replicate the experience of playing WoW or a new expansion for the first time – once you've done it, you've done it. However, there are ways to revisit it. I'm a leave-my-poor-arms-at-the-emergency-room-afterward raider, but I also love leveling, and I love some of the old parts of the game. It's fun and relaxing to lose myself in my new character, imagining him seeing this content for the first time and experiencing that wonder and awe with him. I've seen it before, but I also like seeing it again. And perhaps I'll learn something new along the way.
Of course, this dovetails somewhat nicely with the idea that it's nice to see Outland as it was a couple of years ago on the eve of Warlords of Draenor, since a great deal of that lore (along with that of the relevant books) will be somewhat pertinent to that expansion as well…

Mushan is 3 years old today!Posted: August 22, 2013 Filed under: Extreme Soloing, Leveling, PvP, Raiding & Dungeons | Tags: hunter, hunter extreme soloing, leveling, marksmanship, MM, PvP, raiding, Warcraft, World of Warcraft 4 Comments
Three years ago, I created Mushan, who is my third*, and oldest surviving, hunter.
It was the dog days of Wrath, when I was long done with raiding ICC, and there wasn't much to do that was more important than finally leveling a hunter. I had been listening to the Hunting Party Podcast for a good portion of the year, and was really getting excited about the class. So I decided to create and level Mushan, and it was basically the most fantastic leveling experience I have had compared with any other toon.
I loved his name, and the way he looked, and the way the class played (I leveled as MM). He was so much fun to run dungeons with as I leveled, with the added benefit that it was relaxing and enjoyable to step away from melee range for a while and just shoot things. It was great to level through the old world zones one last time on what would turn out to be my all-time favorite toon (and the toon that I've played the best). He gave me a renewed energy for the game; in reality, he saved me from letting the game peter out for myself.
Mushan is the realization, the fruition, of my affection for hunters. I had had hunters in the past, and I had loved various aspects about them, but he and I paired up for what became, and continues to be, an epic run. We've leveled, we've done extreme soloing, we've raided, we've PvPed together, we've explored the game together in many, many ways.
Additionally, without him inspiring my imagination and my play, I don't know that I would have ever created this blog – and if I had, it would probably be a very different animal!**
So, wherever I may go, and whatever other toons I play from time to time, he is the one whose birth and growth I remember the most fondly. We've had great times together, and will continue to have many more!
Happy Birthday, Mushan!
Notes about the picture: 1) Love that old guild tabard, although the one I came up with later on was even better; 2) Stupid melee weapon…; 3) He's pictured with his trusty gorilla, Korak. I still have that pet – he's just a regular gorilla, but he's still badass!
*The first two were deleted; the first, early in Wrath, had languished at level 63 for a long time; the second, during the middle of Cata, was only 24, and I immediately used his name for another hunter, who still exists. :)
**Droignon, Etc.? The Balm of Ghilleadh? um… I really can't think of anything good. I'm really, really bad at naming blogs, obviously!

I Won't Miss You – a tribute to FrostheimPosted: July 30, 2013 Filed under: Gear, Mandatory Feeds, Music, Professions, PvP, Raiding & Dungeons | Tags: Beast Mastery, blog, BM, gear, hunter, hunter extreme soloing, leveling, marksmanship, MM, podcasts, progression, PvP, questing, raiding, stats, survival, SV, talents, Warcraft, World of Warcraft 2 Comments
Frostheim, co-creator of Warcraft Hunters Union (and all that that site has done for us hunters), progenitor of WoW Hunters Hall, long-time Scattered Shots (WoW Insider) columnist, long-time member (and poet laureate) of the Hunting Party Podcast, writer of several amazing odes to hunters, staunch defender of facts and math and balance, advocate for cool new stuff for hunters, recoverer of his own cloak, and generally fun and awesome guy, announced last Saturday on the Hunting Party Podcast – and later that day on WHU – that he is retiring.
Given his recent stretches of absence from the WHU and the HPP, to say that I didn't see this coming would be incorrect. And he is not quitting the game, but is shutting down his personal commitments to his blogging / podcasting activities in order to devote his time to other ventures. He's also apparently going to put away his white-quality weapons and lessen the amount of time he spends shooting at target dummies as if they're trying to invade his city, and actually devote more of his WoW time to playing the game! This is a good thing.
Personally, though – and I know I speak for untold numbers of players out there – I Will Miss You, Frost.
I'm A Hunter
I wasn't always a hunter. But one of my earliest toons was a hunter back when I started playing shortly after the release of Burning Crusade, although since I was a terrible player (and that's all the info anyone needs) back then, I failed to get him to level 70.
During the spring of 2010, when the Lich King was dead and we were in the midst of the longest stretch of meaningful-content-less boredom in the history of the game, I started listening to the Hunting Party Podcast. I forget how it happened; the best I can remember is that, as a reader of WoW Insider, I liked Frostheim's Scattered Shots posts more than just about anything else on the site.
(I didn't realize it at the time, but I was probably ready for a change at that point… but anyway, to continue…)
Of course, the header on each of his posts mentioned that he was from Warcraft Hunters Union and the Hunting Party Podcast, and so I checked them out. And let me say, when someone charismatic like Frostheim is available to be both read and listened to, it can be a powerful combination. I wasn't much of a podcast-listener in those days – my only constant at the time was the WoW Insider Show, which I haven't listened to in almost a year now, and I had tried out several others that either didn't grab me or didn't stick around. So when I found Darkbrew, Euripides, and Frostheim, I was hooked. I downloaded and listened to every single episode that was available on iTunes, and they were my companions that summer and fall as we inched our way toward the launch of Cataclysm.
Meanwhile, I started a few hunters. Mushan stuck, and the rest is history (which I've laid out in previous posts). Playing the hunter that summer and fall, leveling the hunter, doing dungeons on the hunter, was every bit as fun as I had imagined it would be while listening to the HPP. As a player who now had some general skill, I didn't have any of the problems I had had in 2008 with my long-deleted original. I was topping meters, learning to use my utility abilities, enjoying playing the movement/Auto Shot game, and seriously thinking about making Mushan my main. Which eventually happened.
I was "Ana" back in the day, but now I'm "Mushan," and that is indescribably largely due to the influence of one Frostheim.
Things lately have been quieter on the Mushan/HPP front. I often work on Saturdays, so I don't get to listen in live when the show is recorded anymore. And the shows have often taken weeks to come out on iTunes, and so over the past several months I've only listened a handful of times, and I expect that to continue.
But I've always enjoyed listening to Frostheim, and I'm going to miss that. He has given so much to the hunter community at this point that it's almost a cliche to say so, but I don't care. Why?
Because without Frostheim, it's almost certain that there would be no Mushan. And that's of some importance, at least to me. He literally rejuvenated my WoW experience by unknowingly reintroducing me to the hunter class. He changed the game for me. Without Frostheim, I might not have switched over to a hunter. Without Frostheim, I might not even be playing the game anymore. At the very least, without Frostheim, this blog would certainly not exist in this form.
The first paragraph of this post probably makes me sound like a bit of a fan-boy. Am I a fan-boy of Frostheim? Hell yes! I think my previous paragraph does a pretty good job explaining why.
And so, to Frostheim, Thank You for all you've done for hunters. You've been a gift to us these past several years, and I'll never forget it. I'll be following whatever you do in the future – stay in touch!

The wrong motivationPosted: February 7, 2013 Filed under: Raiding & Dungeons | Tags: hunter, marksmanship, Mists of Pandaria, MM, raiding, stats, survival, SV, Warcraft, World of Warcraft 6 Comments
A while ago, I ranked on Feng-10N as a SV hunter.
I'm not going to deny it – it was awesome. It was particularly so because I was not expecting it to happen. It was the first time I had ever ranked, and you can only ever have that first time once.
Since then, I haven't ranked on anything. For a short time, this caused me to wonder if my damage was going down, but it hasn't been. There are just more guilds beating Feng – and therefore more hunters – and so I can't seem to crack the top 200. Which is fine, because that's not my motivation.
Ranking again would be cool. Killing more bosses would be way, way cooler.
However, last night something happened which caused me to consider doing something this weekend that, upon reflection, seems asinine.
What happened was that a player I know ranked ridiculously high on Imperial Vizier Zor'lok. When I heard about it, I checked WoL and found that this person – normally a situation-appropriate SV/BM hunter – ranked as MM.
It was an interesting temptation. My girlfriend said, rather flippantly, "I guess if you want to rank, go as MM."
Yeah, I thought. I could spend a couple of days practicing, and then bring a new MM version of Mushan into Mogu'shan Vaults, etc. on Saturday night. Most people don't play MM anyway, right? If I applied myself, I could probably get my name on a few of the charts. My heart was momentarily excited.
Then, within a few short moments, I came plummeting back down to earth and realized that that was probably one of the dumber ideas I had had in the past year or so.
Yes, maybe I could rank on a few fights. Maybe I could rank on Zor'lok, too.
But would we even kill him, if I fought him in MM spec?
- – -
As a guild, we've defeated Zor'lok three times. The last time he died, which was last Sunday, it was the closest we've had to a full guild run / our regular team. He's still rough – we're fine until the floor phase, and then it gets shaky. I'm playing as close to the top of my game as I can, trying to avoid damage and deal as much damage as possible myself. Everyone is the same – we're all playing with lightning at our finger-tips, dancing around and fighting as well as we can, trying to kill him before he kills us.
Taking MM Mushan into a fight like that would be a bad thing for several reasons.
1. It's a selfish, stupid f@%king reason to play a spec like that. For serious.
2. I'd like to play MM again someday, but I've played SV consistently for more than a year now, and even with the changes the spec/class has gone through, I've been constantly familiar with it – SV fits me as close to a glove as any spec could in this game right now. On the other hand, even the idea of playing MM seems foreign to me right now, and at this time I don't necessarily think I really even want to play the spec.
3. Making my teammates work harder to kill any of the bosses – even the "easier" ones – goes against how I view my role in raids, ethically and even morally. And it's almost certain that I would be less effective playing Marks than I am as SV.
4. Who really gives a crap if I rank on anything in 10N? Or on any fight? You don't, do you? No, you don't. None of the other hunters, whether they themselves rank or not, cares if I rank. My guildies really don't care if I rank. Nobody cares if I rank.
I don't even really care if I rank, to be honest.
5. Ranking as MM would feel hollow.
I know that BM is supposed to be the best spec, but SV is the best spec for me, and I bring my best "me" to my raid team when I'm playing SV.
And the truth is that most hunters are playing SV or BM, which is evidenced by things such as the fact that the threshold for ranking as MM on Zor'lok-10N, as of last night, was only 64,268 DPS(e) – a number that, as SV, I regularly top by a good 15-18K. The threshold for ranking as SV was 94,523 as of Sunday night, which is a full 47% higher than the MM threshold. There is an obvious disparity there – the true competition is in the SV/BM ranking charts. And so, really, I don't even know that I would feel good at all if I managed to rank on anything as MM – as a "bigger fish in a relatively smaller pond" – particularly when taking into consideration the potential detriment that my inexperience with MM and my lack of usual performance could hurt my team.
So it turned out to be a pretty bad idea. Thankfully, I didn't try it.
- – -
To those who love and excel at playing Marksmanship, I salute you. I would love to play MM and play it well, but right now I'm sticking with SV, rankings be damned. SV feels right, and it also feels like the right thing to do. Someday, I'm sure I'll pick up MM and give it a whirl, but it will be for the love of the spec and the game, not because I want to try to faceroll* onto an ultimately meaningless rankings chart.
*Not saying I would definitely faceroll onto the MM charts – I'm just self-directing some sarcasm with that comment.

Upside down and forward thinkingPosted: September 13, 2012 Filed under: Gear, Leveling, Raiding & Dungeons, Unconventional Leveling | Tags: gear, hunter, leveling, marksmanship, Mists of Pandaria, MM, raiding, stats, survival, SV, Warcraft, World of Warcraft 2 Comments
Nobody else is probably interested in this, but I am.
Even before my latest post, it occurred to me that I could certainly level all the way to 90 with my ilvl 397 gear on my hunter, including the Tier 13 set bonuses.
However, I'm actually thinking of doing the opposite.
With the two-piece set bonus and the talents from the level 60 talent tier, I am swimming in focus. As SV, ever only using Cobra shot singly, mainly to keep Serpent Sting up and to occasionally get my 28 focus or whatever the shots give with the bonus, it is very easy to be focus-capped way too much.
It strikes me that, at level 90 in Mists of Pandaria, since that gear will be gone, replaced by more powerful gear – but at a character level that will once again dilute the power of combat ratings – focus will become much more of an issue. By that, I mean that it will actually be something we have to manage and strive for.
With our Cobra and Steady Shots back to giving 14 focus, hunters will be using them more often. And if I forget to use Dire Beast or one of the other abilities that replenishes focus as close to on-cooldown as is appropriate, it is going to cost me DPS because I won't be getting the benefit of said focus.
With that in mind, I think that I will begin replacing my gear right away, as soon as I start picking up new gear during leveling. Not necessarily all of it, but certainly the tier slots.
Why? you say…
Well, I'm somewhat anal-retentive when it comes to thinking about quirky things like this, and I think that I could benefit from this. In 4.3, every class got sweet set-bonus buffs, and one of ours was focus related, and the other was haste related, and that played right along with the frenetic pace of fights like Madness of Deathwing and heroic Dragon Soul content. However, people won't be using that tier gear in end-game MoP, because they'll sacrifice (a lot of) power for focus, which is almost certainly a loss.
Now, post-5.0, we almost get the old two-piece bonus amount (18 focus) from one Cobra/Steady (14). And the set bonus still doubles it.
I've run some dungeons post-patch, and the hunter is fine. But I think that I will be better off eschewing the T-13 style of play as soon as I set foot into MoP dungeons as I level, and I'd like to get accustomed to "14 focus per Cobra Shot" sooner than later. I'd rather learn as I level, rather than hit the wall when I'm close to, or at, 90 and instinctively wonder why my hunter feels doubly slow.
I think it will help me work Dire Beast into my rotation, too. I've been horribly sloppy with it since the patch, both in dungeons and at the dummy, and part of that is because I am usually closer to full than to empty on the focus meter, so it's easy to forget about it. And higher levels will mean lower combat ratings, proc rates, and so on, so I'll be able to set myself into a more reasonable rotation.
Maybe you disagree, and think I'm talking out of my butt. That's fine. But I think replacing gear as soon as I can will make me a better MoP hunter sooner, because I won't be playing MoP dungeons with Cataclysm's proc-tastic / focus-tastic gear.
We'll see how it goes.

Mandatory Feeds: WoW Hunters HallPosted: August 24, 2012 Filed under: Extreme Soloing, Gear, Leveling, Mandatory Feeds, PvP, Raiding & Dungeons, Transmogrification | Tags: hunter, hunter extreme soloing, leveling, marksmanship, Mists of Pandaria, MM, PvP, questing, raiding, stats, survival, SV, transmogrification, Warcraft, World of Warcraft 3 Comments
As of today (Friday, August 23), we're four weeks and change from the release of Mists of Pandaria. While this blog has been kind of dead for the majority of the summer, I am still very excited about the expansion – particularly excited for the thought of reuniting with my raiding friends as we sink our teeth into the first tier of raids that will come along with it.
I haven't been writing much about hunters this summer. Since my iMac went down for the count on June 26th or so, I haven't been playing Mushan much at all. I have, however, finally gotten my new mage (mentioned in previous posts) up to 85 (as of the middle of last week) and close to max level for both Jewelcrafting and Tailoring. so I am good to go with respect to leveling those professions once MoP drops.
However, my hunter, despite the lack of attention, is still my great love, and my greatest interest in the game, come Pandaria.
As such, I must pass along, without further ado, a must-see site if you are looking for hunter info for patch 5.0.4 (August 28 pre-xpac patch) and MoP (9/25):
WoW Hunters Hall (Tabana = curator; follow her!!) has been amazing over the life of this pre-expansion period, and her collection and linking activities have really increased quite rapidly over the past couple of weeks. A lot of bloggers and theorycrafters have been putting a great deal of time into testing out hunter specs, glyphs, new abilities, gear, and stats, as well as raiding and pvping. There is a wealth of information on WHH, and Tabana has been working very hard to bring all of that and even more discussion to your eyes and mine.
And I haven't even mentioned the work Tabana has put in when it comes to gear lists and general MoP hunter guides. She has a living, quickly-updated set of guides available, and as new info comes out that pertains to hunters, she is on it immediately, culling and presenting it to you and me and thousands of other lucky players.
She also has a great list of hunter resources, including blogs, hunter Youtube channels, podcasts, forums, theorycrafting resources, tools, and other references for just about anything you need. It's really the mandatory hunter portal for serious hunters in World of Warcraft.
I've definitely benefited from following WHH. So add the site to your RSS, follow it on Twitter, do whatever it takes to make WHH a constant part of your WoW-related reading if you're a hunter. I've personally been salivating over the gear list, glyph info, updates on buffs and nerfs and changes, and the thoughts of my fellow hunters as we blog and play our way into MoP and beyond.
- – -
(new subject)
I've been trying to decide how I'm going to replace my iMac's corpse, and I'm leaning toward building my own PC. I'm going to hazard a guess that this will (financially) become reality around Sept. 15th, at which point I will hopefully be re-downloading all 23GB of the stinkin' game and getting things set up. Once I've accomplished that, I will absolutely be playing my hunter more, and will be able to include screenshots and what-have-you in my posts again, and all that good stuff.
I have plenty of writing material on my mind, and will be playing my hunter hard-core – and he will be the first toon that I level through MoP, of course. In addition, I'm also excited about leveling my warrior and druid tanks, and I may post about this in the coming weeks. Active mitigation is an idea that fascinates me – as do the reactions of those players who feel negatively about it.
At some point, I will think about a monk. I'd love to level a Brewmaster, but I'm afraid that doing so will make me forget about my warrior. Is that weird? It probably is. But it is what it is…
Anyway, go visit WoW Hunters Hall today. You won't regret it!

Hunterstalker at World of LaePosted: May 12, 2012 Filed under: PvP, Raiding & Dungeons, Transmogrification | Tags: achievements, blog, BM, hunter, MM, progression, PvP, raiding, SV, transmogrification, Warcraft, World of Warcraft 4 Comments
Laeleiweyn recently updated the Hunterstalker page at her blog, World of Lae.
For those who don't know, Hunterstalker was born last November out of a series of bookmarked armory pages; Lae enjoyed following hunters she had come across, kept tabs on them from time to time, and eventually turned that into an excellent compendium. It contains pictures and info about many notable hunters in the blogosphere, hunters who have been featured on – or are members of – podcasts, and some of the top hunters in the world, as well as several of her friends and guildies.
I was pleasantly surprised today to find that she included me in the recent update. I consider it a great honor! Check out my humble rap sheet:
Laeleiweyn has put an astounding amount of work into this page, when you account for the fact that it includes:
- stalking the hunters
- taking and uploading screenshots
- transcribing/updating spec, profession, achievement, PvP, raiding, Spirit Beast, legendary, and link information
- formatting it all
- repeating the process for dozens and dozens of hunters
One of the great things about this Who's Who of hunters is that it is also just about the best hunter blogroll in existence. If you're looking for new hunter info, blogs, and videos, or more hunters to follow on Twitter, this is a must-see list! In addition, it's a great way to check out some of the outstanding transmog looks hunters from around the World of Warcraft have put together.
Thanks to Lae, for all of the hard work she put into creating Hunterstalker, and for including me. It's both entertaining and extremely informative!

One bad and two good news
Anonymous message to NR:
"Please be advised that the "Otoji" concept as you refer to is no longer current. Although accurate, the project in this form was abandoned over a year ago. It was deemed to be too complicated for deployment. However, selected components and concepts are being introduced in a new system which is set for release in March '09. This info was also correct.
As others have correctly observed, some new lenses have a larger image circle than needed for 24x36.
You should carefully assess the upcoming newly to be released (prime) lenses and realize they cover more than strictly needed. As for form factor, think E-2 but sleeker and compacter. There will not be a separate line of lenses, rather a select few that fill a dual purpose exceedingly well."
If the above is true, the good news is that something new and different is still coming in March 2009, the bad news is that it is not going to be Otoji. I am not sure about the reference to E-2: there was an old Olympus E-1
but there was no E-2 model and I am sure the comment was not for the Sanyo E2. Any ideas?
We have to watch the new primes at Photokina! I guess this is the second good news.
Those are the latest Nikon rumors. Peace.
Update: the reference was for the Nikon E2 model - I was not sharp enough to get to that model before.

This is a gorgeous 14 carat white and yellow gold ring, set with a beautifully carved bloodstone intaglio depicting Pan playing a flute. The stone was probably carved in the 1880s, although the setting is new (70s or 80s). The ring has a strong, masculine design to it. And the intricate carving has a lot of mischievous character.
This ring is a size 7. It is in excellent condition.

Oinment Brewing
Although I've been relatively lax when it comes to doing anything witchcraft related, I decided the other night to do something simple in order to get my mind back to where it needs to be. I love making things with herbs, I think I've probably mentioned this in my blog a hundred times. I've a curiosity about banes, walking the poison path is part of my journey as a hedge witch and also feeds the nature of the green witch. I've started growing my own and hope in the future to be able to use only my own herbs for any baneful needs (except mandrake...did I mention my love/hate relationship with the most stubborn herb in the history of herbs?). My journey into the world of differing ointments has been something I've been doing for awhile but without any true commitment or testing. I made the decision to truly dedicate myself to this path and truly connect properly on a spiritual level with the banes that I have. This lead me to making singular ointments for some of the banes I have: Belladonna, Henbane, Datura and Mandrake, and also an ointment combining all four.
The Datura I wildcrafted near to my home, the Henbane I grew, however the Belladonna and Mandrake I had to outsource. I have a Belladonna plant now and plan to get/grow more, so hopefully the next time I create a test ointment it will be of my own plant material - leaves and berries, whereas the one I've created for my personal experimentation is all leaf material.
I'll heat them through infusing all of that baneful loveliness into the oil and try them. This should give me a good indication of their strength and whether or not more herb material needs to be added. I am hopeful I can get it right, this way the experience with the herbs will be profound and enlightening yet not dangerous. Perhaps one day I will sell ointments and salves with these herbs, however that'll be a long way off yet as I really would love to make them all with herbs from my own poison garden.

Tiny House Revolution
Okay, so I didn't write the next day but I thought about - points for that right? But I'm back! And that is the totality of my enthusiasm for this migraine causing hot weather we're experiencing right now. It's supposed to cool down again by the weekend - hope it rains.
Anyhoo, in a prior post I mentioned my intention for a
tiny house herbal studio
as my place of work and the place where my dreams of being a traditional style wisewoman would have a chance to grow. I love the idea of it, and I think it will work brilliantly for what I want. But I'm not the only one who loves the idea, it's becoming a bit of a revolution. The idea formulated in my head when I watched '
George Clarke's Amazing Spaces
', there were people all over England using small spaces for living, for business purposes and all sorts. A woman on there decided to turn a horsebox into a vintage clothing shop that she could take around different fairs, festivals etc. It even had a little living space in it. It got me to thinking. It wasn't until I actually saw a the tiny house online (mentioned in my prior post) that the idea struck me. It would be the perfect thing to have to create my own working space. A space that could eventually become my shop, my workroom and my consulting room.
I can't wait to get started on mine, it's going to be an exciting project. It also made me wonder if it would be possible to create my own home. I have a block of land, it has no power or water but if I could make an entirely sustainable tiny house to live in, it would be amazing. It would be a long term project but I think it could definitely work. I've even found my dream one (
), it's a good size but I think I would definitely have to price it down to work in my buget - probably a hell of a lot less wood, I mean I like wood as a design accent but not as much as is in the tiny-ish house.
I adore this one, it really is the quintessential
witch's cottage
But for practical reasons, I think I would be better off having one on wheels, so that should I ever need to move, I can take my tiny house with me. Probably something like
. It's a dream I have, I don't think I'll ever have kids, I've never had the desire to, but should I meet my soulmate and we decide to procreate, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to put together another tiny house. One for the living, one for the sleeping or you could build another one on a big semi trailer truck (yep I'm full of ideas).
I actually like the idea of living small like this because it negates the need for clutter. You would really only have around you that which is most important to you (in my case, epic amount of books). It's a very simple way of living, one I think I could easily adapt to. But first, I shall see how I go with my herbal studio, I'm very excited for it. It's going to be an adventure!!

I'm thinking of ways to try and throw myself back into blogging. I used to do so much of it back in the day, some months I would average 15 or more posts a month. Now I'm lucky if I manage two. I think it came from wanting to put a particular image out there because I thought it was necessary to. Expectations and all of that, I've let go of that now, I am who I am. Since my great
a few months ago, I still haven't kicked my witchy patooty into gear and really got on with it, although I have been doing more herbalism things because before long, hopefully, I should be able to launch myself more full time into creating herbal products.
I've been considering trying to post more regularly, just to get myself back into the swing of regular blogging. Whether it's just a picture of a plant in the garden, a poem, herb profiles, a tarot or oracle reading or a general post on my practice or what I've been up to, I'm going to try. I don't I'll relive my glory days of posting every day but I figure I'll think of things to do. I'm even going to try and blog more on my
herbal blog
and get back to my
tarot blog
of which I have not posted on lately. Since I'm going to try to be more well rounded, I really should make the effort. Starting tomorrow I will actively try and post more often. At least three times a week -maybe four. :)

Witch's Night In
I've decided to begin trying new recipes for when I eventually create my herbal store. I've had an
store for it for a really (almost preposterously) long time. Now that my herbal studio dream will be realised, I'm motivating myself to hammer down the details and just have fun with herbs and herb crafting. Last night I thought I'd give a go a couple of recipes that had been on my mind. The madness had begun.
Whipped Body Butter
It smells delicious as it sounds! And surprisingly easy to make. The recipe I used was from one of my favourite herby sites
Wellness Mama
. I halved the recipe and still ended up with a rather sizeable batch of body butter. Because the coconut is cold pressed and not refined, the butter has a wonderful coconut scent.
The ingredients
Getting it all together
It's all melted together
The finished product.
The finished product is fantastic, I love it. It's a little hard to beat because it goes hard, so you may have to hold the bowl (carefully - this idiot managed to whack her fingers with the beaters) so it doesn't spin while you loosen it up. Or alternatively, as I am considering given I am the world's greatest klutz, you could use a bowl mixer instead.
Activated Charcoal & Clay Face Mask
I read about the benefits of activated charcoal and after perusing several different recipes, decided to massively simplify and use charcoal and clay with water in a face mask. I just did a couple of capsules with just under a teaspoon of clay, added a teaspoon of water and mixed it together. My skin felt fab when I washed it off but be warned, it does take a bit to clear the face of it. I used charcoal capsules from the chemist (and yes, I just realised that 'flatulence' is blazoned across the front of the bottle - photo fail Stacey), they're not exactly super cheap but it was convenient.
Test Tinctures
I've been trying out some new test tinctures to get a feel for different herbs, my newest victims were Chamomile Flower, Liquorice Root and Whole Echinacea plant. I've been doing a bit of research and came across an interesting idea on
Wellness Mama
of adding a bit of hot water to the herbs to loosen them up (dry herbs) before putting the alcohol on them. I thought I'd give it a try this time and see how it went, I figure it'll either work or it won't.
So there you have it, my Saturday night herbal adventures. This is just the tip of the madness iceberg. I have so many different recipes I want to try out - lip balms, herbal smokes, soaps (I'm going to do using a crockpot - should be interesting). I'm also going to be doing a
Holistic Skincare Products
course in order to broaden my knowledge base. I'm looking forward to it, the next few months should be a definite learning and experimenting time for me.

The Beginnings of a Dream
As Mercury in Retrograde passes to its end, I find myself planning new and exciting ventures. Some time ago, I
my dreams of pursuing the wisewoman path. It had seemed almost impossible, I had not the space nor did I truly believe I could do it. Now things are coming together in a fashion that will finally allow me to begin building my dream. First stop, my own little herbal studio. I've a mind on how I want the outside to look; I'm going for the old Victorian style. It just looks adorable and it suits me. My inspiration is the picture below, I think mine will look pretty similar by the time it's done.
This little studio will be my workshop, my sanctuary and the place where I can bask in the herby love. I'll have my herbs all in jars in a bookshelf, labeled and ready to go, a small kitchen for crafting and creating remedies, and a sitting area that perhaps one day will become a consultation area. I'm very excited and I can't wait to share this part of my journey with you. I think from time to time I will post things that catch my eye, that I think would be a fantastic addition to my new space. The project won't be started for a few weeks yet, but I am hoping that once construction starts, it all comes together quickly.

Not Always An Average Girl
It's just period pain, every girl gets it
Oh how I hate that saying, that cold, dismissive, ignorant statement. The minimising, the acceptance of suffering as though it is normal, a part of the road, par for the course, something we're expected to not complain about. I rage at the idea women are supposed to suffer in silence because it is part of '
being a woman
'. I'm sick of the expectation that we need to '
just get on with it
' because it's '
only while you have your period
'. I'm over it, I'm here screaming from the mountaintops that it is not acceptable to expect women to not vocalise their pain, it is not acceptable to expect women to just get on with it, and it is sure as hell not acceptable to act like it is normal. Excessive period pain is not normal.
I'm writing about this now because I was inspired by
Magaly's posts
to share something of myself, especially this part of myself because I know I am not alone in the suffering. Thankfully for the most part, in my life, it hasn't had to be silent. I've had the luxury of being able to vocally rage against the pain, the agony without having some one treat me like I'm being unreasonable but I know this isn't the case for all women. I was twelve when I got my first period. They were heavy and painful, and at twelve, even with family support, it can be very difficult to deal with. It's not something, at that age I found, your peers can relate to, it seemed I got mine quite early compared to most of the other girls in my grade. I struggled with a cycle that was never regulated until I was 16 and the doctor put me on the pill. It regulated my periods but the pain was unending. Missing near on an entire week of school during that time of the month wasn't unheard of for me, I would spend most of that week in bed taking various forms of painkillers, coupled with an exceptionally hot hot water bottle in order to try and manage the pain. The unfortunate thing is as I got older the pain got much much worse.
You see, I was born with a disease called
. Now while the instant thought of some will be '
that only causes pain when you have your period
', I can assure you that is not the case. I wasn't officially diagnosed until I was 18 but my mother had it, so my disease is hereditary. My mother suffered for years until she had her hysterectomy, but the thing is that didn't actually solve the problem of endometriosis growing outside of the reproductive organs. Yes, you heard me right, endometriosis isn't strictly reproductive, it can and will spread outside of the uterus to other organs and areas of the body. And it is incurable, it can be managed, but there is no cure for endometriosis. It affects about one in ten women if it isn't hereditary like mine. But what is endometriosis exactly?
The Endometriosis Care Centre of Australia
defines endometriosis as:
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of normal tissue in an abnormal place. The endometrium (lining) of the uterus spreads to the pelvis through the tubes and settles most commonly in the pelvis. Like the lining of the uterus, the endometrium grows under the influence of the major female hormone oestrogen. The most common sites in the pelvis are on and below the ovaries, and deep in the pelvis behind the uterus, called the Pouch of Douglas. Here the endometriosis grows on the ligaments behind the uterus and on the vagina and rectum. It also may grow on the bladder, appendix, abdominal wall and even sometimes in the upper abdomen
It sounds unpleasant, and it is. It is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Because I have a compromised immune system, it is just that much worse. It also puts into perspective the issues I had as a child with my immune system since those who have hereditary endometriosis are generally born with it. Endometriosis affects your entire life, not just the part of it when you menstruate. I suffer with lower back pain, migraines, chronic fatigue and even vertigo (although that could be unrelated). As
Other symptoms include diarrhea or constipation, chronic fatigue, nausea and vomiting, headaches, low-grade fevers, heavy and/or irregular periods, and hypoglycemia. In addition to pain during menstruation, the pain of endometriosis can occur at other times of the month. There can be pain with ovulation, pain associated with adhesions, pain caused by inflammation in the pelvic cavity, pain during bowel movements and urination, during general bodily movement like exercise, pain from standing or walking, and pain with intercourse. Pain can also start a week before a menstrual period, during and even a week after a menstrual period, or it can be constant. The pain can be debilitating and the emotional stress can take a toll
And all of it true and a lot of it me, I remember times curled up in bed hugging my hot water bottle crying because nothing was helping the pain. The emotional toll is real because sometimes it just gets to be too much to deal with. Heavy duty medications like Codeine or Endone are used to manage it because of the intensity of the pain. Surgery is another option though not always successful. I had my first surgery at 18, then another at 19 and was told by the second surgeon that I had a lot of endo for some one of my age. I recently had my third surgery. I imagine I may end up having more. My mother had 11 in total and it never solved the problem. I'm sitting here right now in pain because I got sick of lying in bed. However, because the Universe just loves to torment me on occasion, over the past twelve months I have developed something that is called 'Umbilical Endometriosis', essentially the endometrial tissue pushes up through my belly button causing bleeding and pain – this usually the week after my period. Umbilical Endo is actually really rare; it affects maybe 1% of women that have endo, mine I suspect has occurred because it is near to the site of scar tissue. My gynecologist told her trainee during my consultation that she would be lucky if she saw this once in her career. She said to me 'this makes you unique'. Personally I'd rather have something else that made me unique.
I wanted to share my story because there are a lot of women and young girls out there who suffer with excruciating pain during their periods, and probably have no idea why. There are those, like myself, who probably experience severe cramping, chronic fatigue, nausea and headaches outside of the time of their period and have no idea why. And there are those who are expected to suck it up and get on with life no matter how much pain they're in because no one cares enough to truly understand what they're going through. You can tell a person you have bad period pain and you get that condescending 'we've all dealt with that love' attitude, so women are left thinking it's normal. If you find yourself coming to on the floor because you've passed out, if you find yourself vomiting or experiencing headaches when you have your period or find you have to medicate yourself to near catatonia in order to function then it really is not something that most women have 'all dealt with'. If any of what I have written sounds like what you experience then go to your doctor and be checked over. I know in some countries, medical treatment isn't free (like my surgeries have been) but if you can get correctly diagnosed, you will have a better chance of treating it or at least managing it.
Don't ever let anyone tell you that what you're experiencing is normal because it's not. As I said earlier, excessive period pain is not normal, passing out, vomiting, migraines, severe cramping and heavy periods are not normal. It is not something every woman goes through, regardless of what people or religion say. Rage against the pain, scream from the mountaintops, but never let anyone minimize what you're going through. Ask questions of your family and find out if any other women in your family have experienced this, and even if they act as though they dealt with it or it was normal you should still be examined and find out for sure. Endometriosis is a serious and debilitating disease, even if it is not widely recognized as such by the general public, and you shouldn't have to suffer in silence. It affects your entire life, and for those who are keen on having children, it can affect your fertility.
So please anyone who thinks this could be them, suffer no longer, find a way to be heard and be treated. Even if ultimately it may not do any good in the long term (such as my case is proving so far) at least you will know and no longer question the whys of the pain.

Good Game, but Show Stopping Bugs 0
Scott Pilgrim vs the World is a classic brawler with a heavy emphasis on retro. Within a the first 15 minutes it will remind you of River City Ransom (RCR.) The comparisons are fair as it has a reminiscent art style and borrows some of RCR's features. However, to simply call it a newer version of RCR is selling it short. It controls well, has a great sound track, interesting levels, and is in general a whole lot of fun. The big problem here is that Ubisoft clearly rushed the game out the do...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
Good, but short and overpriced 0
Limbo is one of those artistic inde platformers in the vein of Braid. It focuses on simple controls, refined presentation, and puzzle solving. It is an interesting experience, but I can't help coming away not quite satisfied. The first thing you should probably know about Limbo is that it is short, very short. It feels like a slightly longer flash game. You are looking at about 3 hours of gameplay max. There is not a whole lot of replay value in the game either. Normally, being short isn'...2 out of 5 found this review helpful.
2D Brawler meets MMO 0
Take the gameplay of a classic 2D brawler and add the persistence of an MMO and you have Dungeon Fighter. It sounds great, but the execution isn't quite all there. However, it can still be some decent entertainment. The game is essentially divided into two parts. First is a town area where you pick up quests, talk to other people, buy skills and equipment, and group up. Then there are instanced dungeons which play like stages from any 2D brawler. You simply go to a cluster of dungeons, sel...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
A Low Quality Console Port 0
Magic can be a fun game, but it can also be an expensive and time consuming hobby. I was hoping for Duels of the Planeswalkers to be a an accessible, light version of Magic. Unfortunately, for the PC version of this game, all the good is overshadowed by the fact that it is a very half-assed port of the Xbox version. The first red flag will probably be the co-op option in this game. When you begin looking through the modes there are large buttons for "Co-op Campaign" and "Co-op Challenge", w...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.

Hands-on Review
People have been shooting HD video with DSLR cameras packing still lenses for years—mostly with fixed focal length lenses, which are often referred to as "prime" lenses in the film industry. In general, zoom lenses made for still photos are a poor fit for cinema production. You can use them, as many low-budget indie productions do, but they lack many of the necessary features that are required... READ MORE

Whether shooting a DSLR or mirrorless camera, interchangeable-lens cameras significantly broaden the photographer's range of creative possibilities.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Officials say a Nashville police officer was killed when he was struck by a motor home on Interstate 65.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said Officer Michael Petrina was directing traffic on the interstate after a vehicle overturned Saturday morning.
Police spokesman Don Aaron said the driver of a motor home, identified as 71-year-old Dean Joseph Diver of Key Largo, Florida, hit Petrina. The officer died at the scene.
No charges have been filed. An investigation is underway.
The last Nashville officer who died in a vehicle-related accident was Christy Dedman on July 19, 2004. An award was created in her name for graduating cadets who showed energy and enthusiasm.
Petrina won the award when he graduated last September.
