“You don’t think your puppy wants to grow up and Intimidate and have Cobra Reflexes? Feed his fantasies with the BRK Doggie T-Shirt.” Thank you Moony for pointing this item out; it’s now available in the BRK Store.

We have way too much gear at the moment. We have three belts, three chest pieces, two shoulders, seven ranged weapons, two pair of gloves, two helmets, two two-handed weapons, two one-handed axes and two daggers. All of these are nice but there isn’t a clear and concise “winner” in any of those categories. Frankly, we’re getting tired of being purpleless.

Although we’ve had this lance for a few days, yesterday we splurged and slapped the +35 Agility enchant on our PvP polearm.It was the quest reward for killing Terrok for the Sha’tari Skyguard. It’s bigger than our Terrok’s Quill and that’s a plus. We’d love a Sonic Spear, but it never wants to drop for us. This thing bumps our RAP up a bit, but we lose 54 agility so our crit goes down like a bad joke we can’t use in a family-friendly environment.

So it’s off to the bank to try on the things in our closet. Agility, agilty… Don’t we have a better belt with more agility? Yes we do, so that gets put on. Wow, our stamina and intellect just took nosedives. That’s not good.

Don’t we have a better shoulder piece with more stamina and intellect? Yes we do, so that gets put on. Wow, our +hit just fell through the floor. That’s not good.

Don’t we have a better belt with a little agility and +hit? Yes we do, so that gets put on. Wow, our agility dropped again. That’s not good.

Don’t we have a ranged weapon with agility? Yes we do, so that gets put on. Wow, our DPS just dropped by 10. That’s not good…

ENOUGH ALREADY!!

After a good sixty minutes of internal discussion and trying things on, we’ve decided to try this setup:We really wanted to wear our +hit belt, but the resulting crit-loss was too much for us to bear.

Remember a few days ago when we had 600 agility? Hard to believe that we can cut that number by 16% and still increase our DPS. We also increased our health and mana. We really like the mana increase, truly.

We lost 1 1/2% crit. We really hate our crit. With a passion, it burns us. So much so we searched the Auction House for +crit gems. We didn’t buy them, but we window-shopped.

Many people use Hunter Agility Equivalency Points to determine which gear to use. We give a jaunty /salute to you for whom this method gives pleasure and a sense of confidence.

However, please don’t forget that trying the d@mn stuff on is important, too.
