How does that stack for a Surv Hunter? I didnt see any comments on that one and am trying to figure out if I should use 150 badges on it or a weapon with + agil on it.

Halbard of desolation and legionkiller have dropped 3 weeks in a row. O_o we have 3 hunters!!. Last night in hyjal I was able to claim Bristleblitz Striker! Was a nice upgrade from legionkiller, 3:2 feels great with my haste gear and I couldnt be happier. Say what you want about mismatched stats, but I like having the extra stam in bt/hyjal as many fights require a bit of stam gear. Hey! An upgrade is an upgrade : ) and this bow is too sexy to get reduced to shards My guild has had very good luck with drops recently.

Both bows.......man only in my dreams. As I play a troll hunter, I just cant bring myself to use a gun. I dont know, maybe the racial trait I get but to me the look of most of the guns in game right now just dont turn my crank. Jeanne dont take this the wrong way but I hate you (J/K).

We nuked the Longbow down pretty quick and our Hunter grabbed it while we shifted AoE over to the rest of the weapons. Needless to say, we wiped as it was the first time we'd done the Weapons and his advisors respawned and kiced our asses before the weapons were down. Afterwards, over Teamspeak I said to the lucky hunter... "So Greg, how was the bow?" He just giggled. A lot. Lucky b@stard. Still, Within a few tries I got my hands on that sweet staff. :) I remember the first time we got Kael’thas to Phase 2 and the weapons appeared.

I bought the matching crossbow only because of its speed (2.8) being way better for a MM... The Vengeful Longbow is quite good-looking too :) Grand Marshal’s Bullseye (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18833) - it’s a beautiful, beautiful weapon that I will have some day in my collection… I bought the matching crossbow only because of its speed (2.8) being way better for a MM… The Vengeful Longbow is quite good-looking too :)

Having health is wonderful in those places in order to survive long enough for someone to heal you or for you to run to a safe spot to bandage. So I picked up the Bristleblitz Striker tonight even though I have the Black Bow of the Betrayer because I don't think the mana proc is as useful as I thought it would be and I could always use the extra stamina and critical strike rating. I wouldn't categorize Bristleblitz Striker as solely a PvP bow although it could certainly be used in such a capacity.

As a bow/xbow lover this is of much interest. (You dwarves with your BOOM-BANG-A-BANG guns-- yuck.) It might have been a better idea to make a combined bow+xbow post tho (?) Regardless, the S3 Vengeful Gladiator's longbow is by far the most beautiful weapon in the whole game (imho), and it has utterly amazing stats. I don't understand your disdain for it at all o_O It's one of few absolute "Must do/have" goals as a Hunter in WoW. I've got 3100ish arena point now but having a spot of trouble getting 1850 personal.. Oh well, S4 is just around the corner, and then the personal rating requirement will hopefully get dropped. IT SHALL BE MINE OR I SHALL SEE THE WORLD BURN. Or.. Erm.. something along those lines. Nice post BRK. As a bow/xbow lover this is of much interest.
