After three eggs finally a Proto Drake!

So it took three weeks but finally the green proto drake mount is mine! which proves that this is probably the easiest (at least for me) way to get a proto drake mount ;).

Also on a sad note File-Front is shutting down on the 30th of March, so it will make getting quality arena/wow movies a lot harder, they have been a great provider of this content.

P.S Tiling bathrooms sux.

New Rare Fishing Mount Coralshell Turtle

So according to the PTR patch notes, there is going to be "A new (and very rare) special mount can now be caught from Northrend fishing pools"

Coralshell Turtle - Summons and dismisses a rideable Coralshell Turtle (probably will look a lot like this). This is a very fast mount, both on land and in water. So its 100% on land and in water, much like all epic land mounts after the 3.1 patch.

So i wonder what the cast rate is going to be on something that is "very rare" it could be like fishing up Mr.Pinchy all over again.

Also it seems that they have removed the annoying Nat Paggle fishing quest, the one that you have to walk half way around the world and fish in different spots to get artisian fishing. This is now trainable from the fishing trainers.

- New fishing dailies are now offered from Marcia Chase in Dalaran City!
- Players are no longer required to do the Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme quest to gain Artisan fishing. The quest now offers a special superior-quality fishing pole instead. If you already completed the quest, you can visit Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh to receive this new fishing pole.
- The time needed to catch fish has been reduced.
- You can now fish anywhere, regardless of skill. Every catch has the potential for fishing skill gains, but you are likely to catch worthless junk in areas that are too difficult for your skill.
- You can now fish in Wintergrasp, and the fishin' is good!
- You no longer need to learn fishing from books. The trainers have finally done their reading and are able to teach you the same thing
- A new clam, the Giant Darkwater Clam, can be obtained by fishing in Wintergrasp. This mighty clam has a greatly increased chance to drop pearls, and yields up to five times the regular amount of clam meat.

Gondria the new Spirit Beast

Click here for my article on taming this beast!

So apparently from my last post there is another spirit beast, Gondria, basically its a see through frostsaber, much like the mount and winterspring ones.

Not as original as the Loque'nahak skin thats for sure, but still pretty cool.

So does that mean that everyone will be going back to BM when the patch hits just to search for this new beast? I dont think ill bother really, finding the first Spirit Beast was enough of a pain really.

Here are the known spawn locations on the PTR at the moment:

(62,63) (62,42) (69,47)


Happy Spirit Beast Hunting! :)

New Spectral Tiger as a Hunter Pet?

I dont know if it can be tamed, but /crosses fingers/toes.

Its just like my winterspring frost saber, except see through and shiney!

Hunter changes of 3.1 is it goodbuy survival?

So the time had to come for them to nerf the dps of survival. sheds a small tear...

I have been survival ever since BM was nerfed last patch, and have had two of my stable slots going to waste with a

Spirit Beast and a Corehound waiting for BM to become the powerhouse it used to be.

So what do we have to look forward to in regards to survival nerfs exactly:

According to MMO Champion PTR notes for 3.1:

Survival (official changes)

* Hunting Party: This talent has been reduced to 3-points, and now increases your total Agility by an additional 1/2/3%.
* Lock and Load re-designed: You now have a 33/66/100% chance when you trap a target with Freezing Trap, Freezing Arrow or Frost Trap and a 2/4/6% chance when you deal periodic damage with your Immolation Trap or Black Arrow to cause your next 2 Arcane Shot or Explosive Shot spells to trigger no cooldown, cost no mana and consume no ammo. This now has a new spell effect and sound.
* New Talent: Trap Launcher: When activated, your next Trap will be launched instantly at the enemy target. 1 minute cooldown.
* T.N.T. re-designed: Increases the damage done by your Explosive Shot, Explosive Trap and Immolation Trap by 2/4/6%, and gives your Explosive Shot a 33/66/100% chance to refresh the duration of your Immolation Trap effect on the target.
* Trap Mastery: This talent has been moved up to tier-2, up from tier-9.
* Wyvern Sting duration increased from 12 sec to 30 sec. PvP duration reduced from 10 sec to 6 sec.

Survival (undocumented changes)

* Hunting Party (Tier 10) is now a 3 point talent, increasing agility by 1/2/3% and your Arcane Shot, Explosive Shot and Steady Shot critical strikes have a 33/66/100% chance to grant up to 10 party or raid members mana regeneration equal to 0.25% of the maximum mana per second. Lasts for 15 sec.
* Trap Mastery moved from Tier 9 to Tier 2 and is now a 3 point talent. Increases the duration of Frost and Freezing trap by 10/20/30%, Periodic damage of Immolation and Explosive trap by 10/20/30%, and number of snakes summoned by Snake Trap by 30%. (Previously was just 1 point)
* *New Talent* Black Arrow (Tier 9) - Fires a Black Arrow at the target, increasing all damage done by you to the target by 6% and dealing [ 10% of RAP + 785 ] Shadow damage over 15 sec. Costs 6% base mana. 5-35 yard range. Instant Cast. 30 sec cooldown.
* Sniper Training (Tier 9) has been changed to increase the critical strike chance of your Kill Shot ability by 5/10/15%, and while standing still for 6 sec., you gain Sniper Training increasing the damage done by your Steady Shot, Aimed Shot, Black Arrow and Explosive Shot by 2/4/6% Lasts 15 sec. (Previously increased damage and critical strike chance based on your range to the target)
* Wyvern Sting (Tier 7) now lasts 30 sec on the target. (Previously lasted 12 sec)
* T.N.T. (Tier 4) now increases the damage done by your Explosive Shot, Explosive Trap and Immolation Trap by 2%. (Previously increased critical strike chance of explosive shot and and gave it a chance to stun the target)
* Lock and Load (Tier 4) now has a 33/66/100% chance to proc off Freezing Shot, Freezing Trap, and Frost Trap, and a 3/7/10% chance to proc off the periodic damage of Immolation Trap and Black Arrow. (Previously worked on all traps and included serpent sting)
* Improved Wing Clip has been removed from the game.

On the surface it doesent really look like too much of a nerf really, just scaling back damage a bit.

But i guess we will have to wait for the official patch notes to really be able to guage the differences after it has been taken off PTR.

At least we will be able to have a BM spec and a Surv Offspec, and with the new skill Call Stabled pet it will make it that much easier. Really not sure why they added a 30 minute cool down to that ability though.

Also even though its probably just lazyness from me, why the hell do our pets only scale up too level 75. I know i remember when we had to level them from whatever level they were tamed at, and it would me a massive mission to level them all the way up to our level, but im just not sure what benifit grinding for five levels with a new pet gives us.

Random Wow Stuff - Hunter Rep

So i have hit revered with the Kalu'ak now and got my 1st egg. I dont really think its worth grinding rep any more with them now, I might start concentrating on the Horde Expedition Rep, in preperation for the mecano hog mount! Sooo expensive. But still pimp ;)

To get Horde expedition rep up it is combined from the following four factions:
- The Hand of Vengence
- The Sunreavers
- The Taunaka
- Warsong Offensive

There are quite a few dailies for each of these, but it requires a bit of travelling around ;) /enables QuestHelper. (-30meg of Ram). Quest Helper + Dalaran = Slowness.

Also tried a few arenas, Hunter + Pally. Man it was painful, every loss was -30 points, and then when we did win it was like only+3 points, to the same team we just lost a butload of points too. Yeh thats fair, nice new rating system going on there. So we thought it could only get better. After almost 30 Games, it didnt. Now were down to 1116 /yay. Maybe next week will be less painful? Who knows...

Also i thought id do a bit of fishing in underbelly, try and catch the giant sewer rat. 6 casts later and it was mine ;) Thats luck for you!

Minipets, Ive been trying to increase the collection, currently up to 38, i could increase it a bit more but i dont really feel like paying the 250g per pet ah prices for the mildly rare pets like the white kitten, and the gorilla. So ill just wait til my oracles egg hatches and see what comes out of it, if anything.
