I don't have those damn Shadowcraft gloves so I have been checking the auction for them, since they are boe now. I haven't seen any yet but some dude had put Shadowcraft belt up for a 90 gold buyout. Two weeks ago I bought the same belt for 14 gold from some guy so I could make a little profit once the patch was here. Anyways I put the belt up for a 50g buyout thinking that people would buy my belt over the other one. Sure enough 10 minutes later some dude bought it.
I just know I will be spending even more gold buying the gloves.

Yay, poisons don't break stealth.
Upgraded to my Tier .5 bracers pretty quickly -- it seems like the Venom drop rate has increased a good deal.
Next upgrade looks like it is going to be VERY expensive. Not only does the quest NPC demand 40g but almost all of the mats are crafted items, and Auction House prices are already through the roof. I'm not sure if I should buy now or risk that prices with go up even further. Anybody know where I can get Volcanic Ash for the quest?
Has anyone written a guide for all the armor upgrade quests?

So far I noticed
- Any little thing dazes you when AotC is on
- No aimed shot animation
- Sometimes no Volley animation
- FD not always taking out of combat so far:
FD bar comes up but your still standing
FD works but go to lay a trap and "your still in combat
FD works but a mob is still beating on you
- Traps are visible...not stealthed...visible. I got jumped by horde flying to my corpse I see 2 horde hunters 2 pets standing over 2 traps.
- Cat pets Woof and Growl druing thier idol animation....honestly this is a stupid bug but a very emabrassing one how stupid do you have to be to not know cats don't go Woof or bark. I guess blizzard devs never had a see and say when they were kids. You know that thing pull the cord "the cow goes Mooooo"
- Beatstalker Armor is crap now. Bonuses like +4 to guns/bow/x-bows, +60 to ranged atp gone for armor and a chance to get mana...a very small chance. I USED to use my BS peices and hold my GS/ DM gear on the side cause the full BS set would give me more DPS and attack power. Now I just wear BS Helm/shoulders/wrists/pants GS belt and boots, Ogre Forged Something or other with +3 to all stats. Beastmaster armor is nothing to write homeabout either...I'm a MM/SV hunter I could give a crap about my pets crit. I wouldn't mind it so much IF...IF...they gave the GS set a new bonus for having 3.
I've HEARD of these bugs/nerfs and have yet to test them:
- FT's don't work on laval surgers, as far as I knew they never did. I know WC doesn't why would FT
- Rogues can stealth and WALK right over your trap.
- Warriors can charge over traps and nothing. Pre 1.9 they could charge, hit you and then get trapped.
- MASSIVE DPS nerf to the point of there being no point in being a hunter. Now I still use an ABB and I haven't noticed a difference at all. FYI the ABB is a 2.8 ats bow so that may be why.
Apprently I'm also the only Night Elf hunter who isn't bothered by the SM nerf, I alos did notice something that Imp WC is procing A LOT more.

Nope. Though Traps have always been buggy, this is somethign I've noticed in my life versus hunters. Even if you see where a trap is, you can be far away from it and get trapped (many a times this happens when I'm barely in disarm trap range, yet it triggers on me). Or sometimes you can stand ontop of it and not get trapped. I've always figured it had something to do with client and server side lag differences. Client think it's in one place when in actuality it's not.
Nope, seen many a warriors get smacked by it even after patch.
The damage normalization is not a massive dps nerf, and doesn't even have to be considered a nerf. Yes slower weapons will now do less damage, but the faster weapons will do more damage. My hunter friend so far been happy with it since his stiker's mark does more damage now. It's give and take, and it allows all bows to be equally good. Before I get slammed because I"m a rogue, same thing happened to us and I'm glad it happened.. There was no reason a lvl 52 rare dagger should be doing more damage than a lvl 60 epic dagger just because it was slower.

Warriors and rogues adjusted to the damage normalization a few patches ago. Hunters will adjust and quit crying eventually as well.

Hunters really are a broken class. Blizzard has no idea how to treat them, and I doubt things will ever get better. And I'm not even talking about bugs or assinine pvp balancing like traps.
From retail till summer 05 hunters had shit dps, then they made aimed shot pure 3 second cast. Still shit dps, but better. Then they change auto-shot into an actual attack and not a spell, shots no longer reset auto-shot. Good dps. Talent revamp. No real change in DPS aside from Beast Mastery and some actual survival talents in survival tree. Shortly thereafter BM nerfed, no longer any dps upgrade from talent revamp.
All the while Hunters having the worst itemization of any class in game.
Enter normalization. Which does nothing. Hunter DPS has been purely about spamming aimed shot, since they stupidly made aimed shot a locked casting time spell (Which was the easiest way to make hunter DPS not suck back then). Nothing else. Simply hit the aimed shot button as often as you fucking can, doing whatever else you can inbetween.
Using any of these shitcore bows which the normalization "helped" is still just gimping yourself. Not only do they have wierd timing rates, as in you'd be waiting a while after aimed cooled down for next auto shot so it wouldn't be wasted, but just the fact that you have to sit there for 3 seconds to fire an aimed shot gimps you on the fact you are losing dps you could be auto-shooting.
Eh, I've lost focus of what I'm bitching about. Hunters are a stupid class and their itemization fucking blows. Just the fact that they are trying to buff the tweaker fire style of huntard when I can almost blow an 18 slot quiver already in a raid without any repeat fights proves it.

I didn't think they could make Scholomance suck more, but it seems that they have. Total crap for drops on the Scholo six before the headmaster. Just as much repetitve, easy-as-hell trash as before.
On the other hand, a big YAY for UBRS changes. They must have taken out 1/3 of the mobs in Drakkisath's room, much faster now. They haven't changed much with respect to Stratholme, other than that:
1) Forrester is always up and is very easy to get to from UD Stratholme for the Mage boot tier 0 item if you need it.
2) A couple of pulls were removed.
3) There seems to be more holy water in the crates, probably to make doing the Baron easier (use Holy Water instead of caster AE, works great).
Onyxia seems to have gone wacky this patch.

Are you serious? I hope not, my guild is supposed to do Onyxia tonight and I'm waiting for Vis'Kag the Bloodletter to drop.
Just read two supposed new features for PvP in Patch 1.12 including...
- You will be entered in a group upon entering a Battleground
- Siege vehicles will be implemented

Bloodscalp fall down go BOOM. Once before Baron run on Tuesday, twice during MC, once afterwards during UBRS. This is annoying. The bosses' drops have been beefed up from UBRS, though, and we literally found 5 BOE tier 0 stuff just in half a run, too (both pets were dismissed before Rend event, but the server bugged and sent the gallery after us anyways).
I hope MC goes well tonight; we're behind schedule both time-wise and progress-wise.

They didn't say that, from what I saw. He said "bigger battlegrounds" before editing it, which seems to me that 1.12 will introduce cross-realm grouping.ToyMachine228 said:

(PS- New Flight Path UI is slick)
It's a race condition in the mod. You have to edit some of the code in the LUA files to fix. Here's a link tells you what you need to do.

No, but I see there's more server asshattery going on tonight. Awesome, I love not being able to play a game I pay for.
edit: I take that back, a guildie was having issues with that last night. He had to log out to fix it.

My guild did Onyxia tonight. First attempt, she does deep breath about 5 times in 20 seconds. Literally. We finally got her down after like 4 attempts, but man was it humbling wiping on a boss we hadn't wiped on in about 6 months. Still, I kinda like the buggy Onyxia. It keeps you on your toes and keeps the noob guilds from getting free T2 equipment.

Not sure how I feel about that idea. It would cut down queues, for sure, but at the same time I think it ruins the PvP Sub-community.

I would assume Blizzard would have separate queues for in-realm and multi-realm Battlegrounds.Teknopathetic said:

I haven't been playing all that long but even I can see Hunter doesn't really fit into the scheme of things and Blizzard doesn't really know what to do with them. You aren't alone in that regard. The entire way Hunter is set up from its skills to its Trees (both pre and post change) are pretty shallow in general and many of the changes are all over the place. I love playing Hunter but it really does feel limited in play. I mean crap, we've got 4 skills that can be used for direct damage and one that causes DOT out of all our ranged skills and each of those skills have problems themselves.

Ehh hunters have a role: long-term sustained relatively aggroless range dps. Hunters don't really have to slow down or stop dps, which is unlike the other classes around in the game.
Now the execution of said role, is where hunters worry.

They mention siege vehicles on BlizzPlanet.Com, which is where I read it. There aren't any reports of bugs in MC yet is there? We called off Onyxia last night, but I made over 50G questing in Silithus last night instead.
Yes, Onyxia's drops are strange. We've been killing Onyxia for...Several months and every Level 60 Warlock, Druid and Hunter has their Tier 2 helm. Judgement has yet to drop, and Bloodfang has dropped once. We've also had two Deathbringers drop during that period of time.
