Numbers, Numbers, and More Numbers

BRK » 20 February 2007 » In Gear, PvE, Quests, Strategy »

First off, BRK has blown through the 6000 cumulative hits barrier; we’ve gone Plaid! There’s a lot more stuff BRK has on his dinner dish, so you can be sure that more content, more information, and more silliness is just around the corner. Man, I’ve got a Tuber Quest post I can’t wait to get up here. Jeebus, this quest both sucks and blows… but I’m giving it away. More on this later

I got to run The Mechanar instance in a pug this weekend. You know how rare it is for a hunter to be “needed”? How could I turn the invitation down? I couldn’t, so I went, even though I typically despise and loathe pugs. How did we do? Finished it, no wipes. No gear for BRK, but that’s typical, too. But specifically, how did Damh and Hobbes do?
Let’s all recite the Hunter Credo, and with feeling this time:

“The main purpose of a Hunter is to provide large, controlled, sustained quantities of ranged-DPS.”

Are you bringing large quantities of controlled and sustained ranged-DPS to your instance runs? Or are you a sheep-breaking, aggro-on-priest-dumping, bad-pulling, add-aggro’ing pain in the patootie?

Next, the Drive For Epic Flight continues at a pace that makes BRK’s head swim with thoughts of a red armored gryphon in the near-future. Money money money, hubba bubba, hubba, who do ya love?

Try being restrained and cautious at the auction house with that bankroll. BRK keeps begging for an Eternium Water Dish, an Embued Netherweave Scratchpost, and a Socketted Collar with some gems that grant +12 Friskiness. That’s gonna be one disappointed cat, let me tell you.

And finally, new gloves with wicked stats are the fashion this weekend. The quest reward for completing the 24th of the 25 quests in the Tempest Keep Key series coughed up this beaut of a blue baubble:

These are good enough to slap a nice enchant upon, mostly thanks to our guild enchanter. She’s d@mn good, but refuses to let me tip her. I’ve covered this issue, and my disgust about it, previously. Why won’t she take my tip? I’m not good enough, my money smells or has cooties? Yes, I send her all my bizarre-o BOE greenies to disenchant, as all good guildies should. But I don’t care, I want to show my apreciation, fer cryin out loud!
