I had in fact given up on my hunter (lvl 70 NE). But your blog gave him a new lease of Life. <br/><br/>Now , just for kicks, I have started lvling up an Orc hunter, as I hardly have time for end game instances right now. <br/><br/>The one decision which still makes me go all cross eyed is - what professions to take ? I know its suggested using gathering professions at low lvl, but I am looking at the high lvl professions. I was thinking Engineering, but I would like to get your opinion on it also. <br/><br/>Dronacharya <br/>(DeathWing) Hi BRK,

I find your page excellent for hunters. I had in fact given up on my hunter (lvl 70 NE). But your blog gave him a new lease of Life.

Now , just for kicks, I have started lvling up an Orc hunter, as I hardly have time for end game instances right now.

The one decision which still makes me go all cross eyed is - what professions to take ? I know its suggested using gathering professions at low lvl, but I am looking at the high lvl professions. I was thinking Engineering, but I would like to get your opinion on it also.

Now if they can only take Lawrence Taylor out of retirement too!

After many, many months of trolling BRK, I finally have what I think is a BRK worthy comment.

Was doing the Boggok boss in burning soemthing or other last night (only 64) and my group wiped (except for me) with 2 mobs left before Boggok came at us. I trapped one then killed the other. Now here’s the fun part.

If I killed the last mob, Boggok would come out which would reset the entire event, except with Boggok being part of it this time (its bugged) which would most likely cause many many wipes until the group broke up (which happened to me the previous 2 nights).

So not wanting to solo the boss or cause huge repair bills to my non-FD’n group members, I decided to chain-trap that last mob until the group returned. Little did I know it would take over 20 minutes:
1)Healer had to log to get dressed, rather disturbing to think he was some middle-aged dude playing WoW nekked.
2)1 member died to a respawn on his return trip.
3)Another member died to the same respawn trying to go back and help the first guy.
4)We invited another healer to the group who had to fly from Shatt to get to us.
5)Everyone finally arrived and we killed the chain-trapped mob, then Boggok.

Would it ever have crossed my mind to chain-trap that mob for 20 minutes without the amazing insight of BRK? Probably, but I’m sure you deserve some sort of credit for it! ;)

Like another poster, I too like to pull with distracting then concussive, but I was unable to get a single macro to do both.

However, during the course of the fight, I like to hit a recently de-frosted mob with a second Concussive Shot while he/she/it is on the way to my second trap. Since I was in battle, for some reason I continued auto shooting. So I modified these two macros in the following way:<br/><br/>/stopcasting<br/>/cast Distracting Shot<br/>/stopcasting<br/><br/>And the same for Concussive Shot. These seem to work great!!<br/><br/>- Thar and Catsby Ban goldspamers ftw BRK!
