“Dear BRK … I’ve been following the whole “pink pet” deal and thought I should post Maggie. She is only 40, but she WILL be 70 one day. I wanted to show her to you just in case you are no longer playing WoW when she hits 70. I think she is a AWESOME pet and I’m soooo happy I got her. When I tamed her she was 12 and I was 23 (long road leveling her up). Well I hope you enjoy her, I DO ;)

“Thanks again for all your advice and talent, love ya. Briarrose, level 41 Hunter”Giant pink flamingo of death and BRK-love aside, who can tell us why Briarrose gets +5 BRK Cool Points?

And we want not just a specific answer, but a very specific answer. And we’re giving you a clue.

    She’s already using KTM threat meter at 40 when most people don’t even install it till they do raids.

    I have no idea if that’s close but I figure I’d give it a guess

  2. BRK on October 3rd, 2007 8:08 pm

    That’s a specific answer, but not a very specific answer.

  3. Tabuti on October 3rd, 2007 8:12 pm

    Well could it possibly be because this certain pet is a rare spawn just south of Thunder Bluff in the area of Mulgore the Tauren starting area?

    And she is a filthy dwarf….

    Whenever we play portal roulette (i think) and i end up in Thunder Bluff i will have a scout for this pinky even at 70.

    Annoying as hell to tame

    Briarrose is a redhead and BRK has a weakness for redheads (see Mrs. BRK pics).

    The Pink Flamingo matches perfectly with the Pink Mageweave shirt.

    the pet has dash and growl on while soloing?
    Said pet is on passive since she doesnt want to say “zomg where’s my pet?”
    because it’s a freaking FLAMINGO!?!?

  7. littleblackkitty on October 3rd, 2007 8:22 pm

    I’m with ‘anonymous’…it’s because her pet is on passive.

  8. Brady on October 3rd, 2007 8:26 pm

    It can’t be the icy enchanted sword…Nobody likes that on a hunter.

    It could be the locale. (Which I recognize, but am not familiar with). Or it could be the awesome red pig-tails. Pig-tails are freakin fun…

    Matching outfit (pink shirt w/pink pet)! ithrows saw it first. Definately cool in my book, though I work my best to make sure my toon is as UNCoordinated as possible.

  10. Anonymous on October 3rd, 2007 8:29 pm

    Because shes a female dwarf, with red hair

    Dwer & Angel

    Didn’t you want to offer 5 BRK points for someone with a picture of they’re pink plainstrider?

  12. Anonymous on October 3rd, 2007 8:51 pm

    The pet has dash AND bite?

  13. eustacius on October 3rd, 2007 8:52 pm

    because BriarRose was the name the good fairies gave to Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) and she wore pink (altho merryweather kept changing her dress to blue behind Flora’s ample backside).

    and yes, I DO have a 4 year old daughter :-)

    She’s trained Armor and Stamina.

    “Giant pink flamingo of death and BRK-love aside, who can tell us why Briarrose gets +5 BRK Cool Points?”

    Don’t think it has anything to do with it being a flamingo, with it being pink, or sending the pic to BRK.

    Bite, Growl, Dash, and Cower. Not many people run with cower, but it can definitely be useful for not pulling agro from crappy tanks. At 40, you are very likely to find some crappy tanks. How many warriors spec prot at 40?

  16. Shifttusk on October 3rd, 2007 8:58 pm

    She has KTM installed and in addition she has a more up to date version of KTM than bith BRK and Shifttusk?

    CMON POINTSZ!A11

  17. Inphidel on October 3rd, 2007 9:02 pm

    two braids on Briarrose, two braids on the flamingo?

    NASA uses that same flamingo as a background cosmic radiation detecting antenna?

  18. Anonymous on October 3rd, 2007 9:08 pm

    She’s blowing a kiss to another girl?

  19. Vaerlin on October 3rd, 2007 9:13 pm

    While the Briar Rose reference is excellent… and I think deserves the points… :)

    Others have mentioned everything from the weapon (though not very specific… which is should be brought up) to the addons…

    I’d have to say she gets credit for rolling a female dwarf with the helicopter hair. Though sadly hunters don’t have many cast animations… sadly. (Male dwarves have the coolest cast animations! We demand to have our Dwarven Mages back!)

  20. sonvar on October 3rd, 2007 9:23 pm

    Unknown to those staring at the pic the person playing the female dwarf hunter with a pink flamingo is wearing the BRK Boxer Shorts and BRK “PvP Old School” Women’s T-Shirt ordered from cafe press!

    Did I mention she was drinking from the BRK “Raid Size” Large Mug?

  21. Briarrose on October 3rd, 2007 9:23 pm

    im glad you all like her :)
    the sword has the damage enchant on it..and tasha was the trash pet i got to get maggie Dash 2 lol

  22. Lotos and Smoke on October 3rd, 2007 9:42 pm

    Female dwarf with red hair ftw…

  23. BRK on October 3rd, 2007 9:51 pm

    Most recent version of KTM wins it for Shifttusk.

    BRK runs Omen, so unless he downloads it every hour on the hour, his is out of date. Not sure about Shift, but Briarrose gets kudos for running the most current version of KTM AND she’s a level 41.

    She can pull for BRK’s guild anytime.

  24. For the Pie on October 3rd, 2007 9:53 pm

    Without checking petopia, I don’t think plainstriders can learn claw, so bite would be the special to learn..sorta.

    I think that’s the town you go to after you finish around Ironforge, on your way to Wetlands. Dun Mulgore???

  25. Doogie on October 3rd, 2007 10:17 pm

    Dun Morogh is the Dwarf/Gnome starting zone; Mulgore is the Tauren starting zone. The city in question is Thelsamar, in Loch Modan.

    And Shifttusk beat me to the latest KTM at 41 (though like BRK, I use Omen, which seems to be constantly obsolete — I only download it every patch or two, because it’s such a pain in the ass to keep redoing it). It’s extremely handy, though, to use Omen/KTM while levelling your Hunter or Lock so you’re aware of your aggro, and learn how to watch it before Level 70. Stunningly, I think I’ve learned more of the subtleties of aggro management playing my Hunter than I have playing my Warrior.

  26. Ahab on October 3rd, 2007 10:35 pm

    Briarrose picked a shirt to match her pet. That’s the +5 BRK cool points right there. I have to carry THREE shirts in my inventory, since my ravager changes colors nearly on every resummon…

    I jest.

    Ahab and Ming

  27. Shifttusk on October 3rd, 2007 10:43 pm

    /flex

    Geif me my points!!

    And about learning about agro managment. Heres a think for you hunters

    Isnt a hunter kinda like a mini 5 man group all rolled into one?

    Tank=Pet
    Healer=MendPet
    Dps=Bow!

    Rawr!

  28. j on October 3rd, 2007 10:49 pm

    20.5 is the most recent. It’s been out since Sunday the 30th of Sept.

    Okay, just being nitpicky. My guess is this hunter is an alt of a main that’s already 70 and running instances and raids.

    Short chicks are Hawt!

  29. Michael on October 3rd, 2007 11:02 pm

    BRK,

    I love your site. Almost to the point of making it my default home page. How much more fun is it to read about wow (particularly) hunter exploits than boring old news, weather, stocks, whathaveyou. (even avoiding reading email!).

    The comments sections are both a source of thought-provocation and belly-laughter.

    kudos! (wish I could say I was a BM convert, but I already was)

    Did I miss the salmon-grilling recipe?

    Grind & Plucky

  30. For the Pie on October 3rd, 2007 11:08 pm

    Heh,
    BRK forgot the recipe!

    I like Omen better than KTM, and since Omen is on the WOWAceUpdater it’s easier to keep up. Although it does tend to get updated a lot.

  31. Briarrose on October 3rd, 2007 11:25 pm

    well hate to bust your bubble J but this is my main lol i have a level 41 druid named Lolliy but that’s it….so i have no 70 :( wish i did thou…have 2 rl friends who play on this server but that’s it……

  32. Madpete on October 4th, 2007 6:25 am

    Female dwarf hunter :D

  33. j on October 4th, 2007 3:08 pm

    Briarrose,

    You know, I sometimes wish I can go back to the point where everything was new. Even discovering new zones and wondering if that was the end of the world. Don’t need to race through content - just enjoy it all and take it nice and easy. Oh how I wish I can go back to the blissful innocent days : )

  34. Lotos and Smoke on October 4th, 2007 4:29 pm

    It’s easy to keep Omen up to date, just use the WoWAce Updater and it takes care of all that troublesome updating of addons…at least the Ace ones…

  35. Anonymous on October 5th, 2007 1:09 am

    Dang it, somehow I have GOT to get a picture of Chapstick (my pink flamingo) up here at some point - level 70. She’s provided countless moments of entertainment in emotes alone (even from opposing faction members).

  36. Rufio on October 5th, 2007 2:56 pm

    I saw that flamingo while i was grinding my horde druid… I was like, “dang if only i was on my hunter…”

    …how i wish i had kept one of my neat lowbie pets all the way to 70.
