Things We Need, Like Right F-ing Now
WoW Armory beamed directly into our brains. We have 61 BoJs and need to know how to spend them. Belt, regular-epic trinket, AP-epic trinket, or Crit-epic trinkekt? Hmmm…
Triple H is a gnome warrior. In his commercial he is shirtless, as is his gnome.
Milk. We’re out and left the new 1/2 gallon of premium skim at home.
A decision on whether to buy the boy the Lionel Polar Express or the Lionel Thomas and Friends for Christmas.
The guild to work out how they’re bringing the Dragonhawk boss down. As a hunter, we’re really completely out of the loop on how the guild is doing the strategy on this guy. We sit quietly munching raiding snacks while Fio and the gang work out the theory, then we blast the bejezus out of the boss. AC has one-shotted Bear, Hawk, and Lynx bosses this week - missed the timed event by one minute - but Dragonhawk continues to be a pain.
Speaking of the Dragonhawk boss, those scouts need to be exterminated ASAP.
Randy “Macho Man” Savage is an Orc Rogue. “I sneak around, quiet, in the shadows… then I JUMP OUT AND GUT YOU! OH YEEEAAAH!”
The Squeekie Priestie to not drink Redbull at 9PM during a Gruul’s raid. Our ears are still ringing.
People to quit disconnecting during raids. Demetria was better, but our mage-tank almost got a Misdirected Gronn Priest on his 15,000 health @ss. Wake up Fulgor!
To quit dying in Gruul’s. That floor hasn’t been cleaned in, like, forever. Phew.
A bottletop for our raspberry syrup. Our current vat is caked with goo due to an unexpected upending.
“Ravishing” Rick Rude is a Blood Elf Priest. In pink, natch.
A day off this week to finish our proposal.
The 24-slot ammo bag rocks. The ammo vendor in Shatt is truly wonderful. Now put some buzzards in Lower City so we can farm buzzard meat for Kibler’s Bits without having to trapise to Hellfire Peninsula.
Make Kibler’s Bits last two hours and persist through death, as long as we’re being unreasonable.
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin is a Tauren Druid. “Austin 3:16 says I just Moonfired your @ss!”
The chocolate cake to do more than spit fireworks out our butt.
Speaking of fireworks, make Volley look like a volley from 300; darkening the skies would be nice.
To not blame us for announcing the Snake Trap bug. At least you knew what was happening and reacted accordingly, right? An educated hunter is an smart hunter. (But we loved her post!)
“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan is a Dwarf Paladin. In his commercial, he must have have the Hammer of the Naruu slung over his shoulder. Tough guy!

If Triple H was in WoW, we might see the progression of people on his server slow till he has hit 70 with every possible race and class.

“Stone Cold” not “Cold Stone”

Go for the Thomas and Friends rather than the Polar Express. Thomas et. al. can have all kinds of adventures all year long, while Polar Express only comes out at Christmas. At least that is how it works in our house. Our son’s favorite was Percy for about a year, then it was Gordon.

Somebody’s been watching a bit too much wrestling lately.

Triple H can’t be a warrior because his NAME is Triple H. Which, apparently, stands for Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
He’s a hunter.

BRK — You can get buzzard meat from the bonelashers in the north end of the Bone Waste, too. Not quite as handy as farming from the back of the bar in Lower City, but less of a trek than the penninsula.

Word on the street about the Dragonhawk boss is to slow DPS right down. You have to hit 35% with only a few dragonhawks to hatch, or you’re toast. Let both hatchers get to the eggs and hatch about four dragonhawks each (eight total) and everyone leaves the boss alone to down them. His enrage at 10 mins is nasty, so try to wear him down before then.
Note: I haven’t done this strat myself, but a good buddy swears it works fine, and makes this boss the easiest of the four ZA animal bosses…
BRK on 27 Nov 2007 at 10:31 pm #
Stone Cold, we noobed that one up.
HHH = hunter is so… obvious, isn’t it?
We own ever lead-soaked Thomas train there is. Frankly, we’re leaning against an electric version as we’re inundated with the stuff.
Nibuca = her. Gotcha. /blush

Thomas or Polar??? I think it depends on age. If he’s a younger lad, definitely Thomas & Friends. My son was enthralled with the HO scale Thomas that I got for him. Unfortunately, at the age of 4 he was a bit too young to handle an HO scale and not damage it. But he loved it and played with it for almost a full year. If he’s much older than 6, he’s likely to start digging the more realistic Polar Express. Other things to consider are whether you have additional track or other layouts. A single loop of track may lose his interest rather quickly. But with just a couple of turnouts and a few more sections of track, they can noticeably increase replay value.

BRK, are you just making those wrestling ones up? I found the Mr. T and William Shatner ads, but I couldn’t find anything else. I must say, I was extremely impressed with how much Mr. T’s NElf Mohawk looked like him. I can’t even get a Mii to look like me, but Mr. T made a NElf that strongly resembles himself. Impressive!

‘nother vote for Thomas & Friends. Longest buff you can get out of the choice of the two! T&F can tank his attention for a year easy, and picking up a pair of new engines or wagons starts up a whole new set of “stories”.
If you don’t yet have the dvd show compilations - get one of those, too.
And while you are at making lists… dwarven hunter engineers should get to make a BoP *stationary* (no kiting!) channeled gatling gun. = )~
… what?!… aw c’mon - he went for frickin’ Kibler’s Bits lasting two hours and persisting death for crying out loud… (!!!!)… gatling gun… channeled… stationary… dwarven hunter turning the crank… /shrug and walks away!

Sadly, Rick Rude passed away some years ago. And so did Miss Elizabeth, Icetrip.

Definitely get Bloodlust Brooch. At 41 BoJs much cheaper and better than the 75 BoJs PvP-oriented Battlemaster trinkets.
You have to kill something quickly? Say Evocation Phase of Curator? Pop your Brooch and Rapid Fire. Add Drums of Battle or War for a nice touch.

Hey BRK. We’ve done the Dragonhawk boss with 2 Hunters in the group (which was extra fun). The comment above about slow-DPS is right. What we did was let one hatcher do 4 or 5 eggs (and those were picked up by our Pallytank, burned with Mage AoE) and the other hatcher got _2_ eggs as that was the side both hunters were on (and a Bear OT). We actually stopped at ~40% (Bear MT so still taking damage) and let the hatchers go until he Enraged then burned him down with Pallytank and any AoE on the rest of the eggs that spawned. Hope this helps!
Oh, and for gear, get Bloodlust brooch then maybe some of the new mail gear

Did not know about Miss Elizabeth. Sad to hear. Wiki says it was related to mixed pills and alcohol her and Luger were taking one night.
Sad sad sad!
TeePee on 28 Nov 2007 at 11:50 pm #
agreed with the slow dps on dragon hawk boss comments - we were having all kinds of trouble until we woke up to that; boss himself is actually an easy kill, secret is keeping him alive long enough to kill enough egg hatches before he pops them all…
