It's Been a While

Make your own Countdown Clocks

Wow, it's been a while since I wrote anything :(. I guess I haven't been as bored at work lately, lol. I got a new job there. I'm now the Parts Dept/Shipping/Receiving/Ebay/some sales... well, you get the point. I guess since they assumed I was bored, that they'd give me a little bit more to do, LOL.

As you can see up above, as of today, we have 204 days until our next trip to Disney in August!!! Yay. Our last trip was spectacular. It was all that the first trip should have been, and I can't wait to go again!

Well, I guess that's all for now, I'm going to try to write more, but no promises since school is back in :(

Disney's Coming!

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Good morning everybody! Sorry I haven't gotten to write yet this week. I've been pretty busy at work this week, actually, plus I've been working on another project while at work too! LOL.

Anyways, not much has really been going on. Had a great weekend with Wifey and Thing 2! Only down side was that Wifey's Grandma had to go to the hospital, but it looks like everything is okay now, and she'll be coming home this evening. I'm really glad, beacause Wifey has been worrying herself sick while her Grandma's been in the hospital.

Oh yeah, we took Thing 2 bowling Sunday evening. He likes it a lot during the first game, but his attention quikly dwindles during the second game. It was so awesome to watch him when he got a spare, he'd hop up and down, and give me ten! Then, he'd leave some, and you'd see him get disappointed, but the he'd say, "We'll get 'em next time!" I'm so proud of both of my boys!

Shirt of Awesomeness!

I think awesomeness is a word... isn't it? Well, anyway, you have to check out the link below. It will lead you, through Digg.com, to the Amazon listing of the shirt pictured to the left...

Ok, so what's the big deal? You seriously have to take 5 minutes and read the Amanzon reviews of this shirt. It will transform you into a babe magent! Seriously!!

Just as proof, while I was on the web site, just looking at the shirt, I heard the girl who sits across the office from me say, "MMMMMMMMMM!" IS THAT NOT KICK BUTT!?! She was eating some kinda really yummy looking dessert, but hey, Give it a look anyway!

Hunter Leveling Build (30-39)

Hello again! Time to look at the next 10 points in my Hunter Leveling Build. As I noted in the last post, I'll be giving alternate suggestions for both Ferocity and Tenacity pets. The main difference being the style you wish to go with. Ferocity pets kill stuff faster, but Tenacity pets can tank several mobs at once. Really your choice. Your hunter's talents won't be affected at all by the choice.

Tier 5

Intimidation - 1/1 - Command your pet to intimidate the target on the next successful melee attack, causing a high amount of threat and stunning the target for 3 sec
This is a good talent to keep the target on your pet (and not you), the stun is nice as well. The main point to this talent though, is to unlock Bestial Wrath!

Bestial Discipline - 2/2 - Increases the Focus regeneration of your pets by 50/100%
Yes Please! Basically this doubles the amount of special attacks your pet can do in a given time! Put your next 2 points here.

Spirit Bond - 0/2 - While your pet is active, you and your pet will regenerate 1/2% of total health every 10 sec., and increases healing done to you and your pet by 5/10%
An okay talent. We're going to come back to this as a filler later, but I'm skipping this for now. If you're having a hard time keeping your pet alive, you may want to substitute this for Bestial Discipline

Tier 3

Go back and pick up Aspect Mastery now with your next point.

Tier 4

Put one point in Improved Mend Pet now. Mainly because there's not a lot else worth picking up.

Tier 6

Animal Handler - 2/2 - Increases your pet's expertise by 5/10, and increases the duration of your Master's Call effect by 3/6 sec
This talent is actually supposed to change to a straight up attack power boost(5/10%) in patch 3.2, so in forward looking, I'm putting my next two points here.

Frenzy - 3/5 - Gives your pet a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to gain a 30% attack speed increase for 8 sec after dealing a critical strike
Put your last 3 points from this section into Frenzy. It's a great talent to boost pet DPS. 60%(3 points) is supposed to be enough to keep the buff up pretty much 100%(the better your gear, the better chance of this)

---

Now onto your pets:
Ferocity

Tier 2

Bloodthirsty - 2/2 - Your pet's attacks have a 10/20% chance to increase its happiness by 5% and heal 5% of its total health
A great place to put your next 2 points! This heals your pet AND feeds your pet, all in one step!

---

I'm only going to go over the pet talents that we are taking, not the ones we're not taking, to save a little space1

Tenacity

Tier 2

Blood of the Rhino - 2/2 - Increases your pet's total Stamina by 2/4% and increases all healing effects on your pet by 20/40%
More HP and 40% more healing = a must have talent! Put your next 2 points here

---

As you can probably see, the main difference in pets is that the Ferocity talents will be leaning towards increasing DPS, and the Tenacity talents will lean toward survivability

Manswers on Spike!

So, Wifey and I were relaxing on the couch a couple of nights ago, trying to find something to watch before we went to bed when we came across a show called MANswers on Spike.

As the name might imply, it's a show that is about answering "guy" questions. It's a pretty hillarious show, kind of silly most of the time, but entertaining none the less. We've watched it a couple of times now, because it comes on about the time Wifey gets home from work in the evenings (11:30 pm or so), and Wifey says that she thinks they must have plugged a cord into my brain, and just streamed it to the TV show, LOL.

Well, that's about all that's new or interesting in the last few days. Have a great day!

Frerocity > Tenacity?

Good Wednesday morning to everyone! I just finished my weekly WoW play (Wifey home for the next few nights!) and wanted to update every one on Lestunter's progress through Azeroth.

So last night I ended up making it to level 21, and just got to Darkshire to start questing. A couple of days ago I found a spectacular hunter blog at Warcraft Hunters' Union, and in it I discovered an article, Best Leveling Pet, which lets us know with good evidence that Ferocity pets are actually better than Tenacity pets for leveling. So I'm making the switch over to Ferocity.

After A LOT of research (thanks to a boring day at work!) The only thing that needs changing is, obviously the pets talents. So, from now on, I'm going to note differences I would make using each type of pet. There really isn't a lot of difference from your perspective. Just a vast difference in the pet's.

I haven't nabbed me a Ferocity pet yet, but there are some level 20-21 wolves in NW Duskwood that I'm going to grab the next time I play. Then, I'll see if I can tell a difference in leveling speed, etc.

I'm really doing pretty well with my bear, but it does make sense that if you kill stuff quicker, you level quicker. So, without further ado, let's get caught up on your Ferocity Pet's talent build for levels 20-29:

Tier 1

Cobra Reflexes - 2/2 - Increases your pet's attack speed by 30%. Your pet will hit faster but each hit will do less damage
This is a good talent to improve pet DPS, which is what we want to focus on with a Ferocity pet. Put your first 2 points here.

Dash - 1/1 - Increases your pet's movement speed by 80% for 16 sec
This talent is just to get to the next tier, feel free to take Great Stamina 1/3 if you like

Great Stamina - 0/3 - Increases your pet's total Stamina by 4/8/12%
Good talent, but we want to focus on damage dealing talents

Natural Armor - 0/2 - Increases your pet's armor by 5/10%
This is definitely a good talent, and we'll be back later to pick it up
