On being a bad hunter... Episode 2

Ok, so... the other day i was in an pug instance with Theo, i was about 4 lvls higher than everyone else, and Raipu and I were just gracing them with my 65% of the dmg meter presence, getting Theo exp and hopefully some gear.

Another toon in the group was a hunter, MM spec (theres your first problem), with a pet cat that was identical to Raipu! (i hate when that happens, i never saw a pet that looked like Deathrain)

Anyways, we were in Hellfire Citadel, ran ramparts and then blood furnace, and somewhere along the way, the shaman belt dropped, Girdle of the Gale Storm, got intelect, stamina, mp5 and healing..

AND THE HUNTER NEEDED IT

Now, obviously its not a big deal, because no one in the group wanted it, but the warrior was quick to point out, "Why in the world would a hunter wear that" To which i replied "They wouldnt"

The said hunter then goes on to claim its better than what he has on, and spams a lvl 53 mail belt of the eagle or something in chat...

It is at this point in which we come to our focus of On being a bad hunter... Episode 2...

Knowing your class loot, and gearing up to perform your duties.

The first zone in Outlands, Hellfire Pennisula, has a few lines of quests that gives gear that was good enough to replace nearly everything short of mid-tier dungeon armor, HOWEVER.. there is mail gear thrown in for shamans in some quests, which means there is pretty much nothing specifically for a hunter

It is at this time that i implore you, ignore the MAIL tag that you have been stuck on since lvl 40, the main stats a hunter needs to look for in gear is Agility, Attack Power, and Stamina.. Also known as Of The Bandit when searching the AH.

The good thing about the hellfire quests, and all quests/dungeons in general, is there is an entire other set of gear that fits the hunter very well.. Rogue gear, other wise known as LEATHER.

Hunters while leveling, shouldnt get hit, our pets should absorb 90% of the dmg while solo, and in groups there should be a tank..

While leveling, ignore the mail/leather boundry, and pick the gear with the best stats for your class, Agility, Stamina, Attack Power, Crit Chance....

Intelect and Mp5 are nice addons to help with mana, but never ever give up agility, ap, or stamina for mana gear
