New char, Getting ready for raids.

Soeh, what do u do when u have obtained every BiS item available before raids? As things are now, its nearly impossible to find a guild which has a progress in ToC25, and still have some sort of skill and knowhow.
If u can find a nice guild who is actually able to get somewhere before Cataclysm, they are probably doing Icc, and u are far from ready for that stuff.

Now, u found a guild u have interest in, but do they have any sort of interest in u? I mean, if they are running Icc, but u're only ready for ToC, u have next to no chance to get a trial, its not gonna happen.
Or is it?

What is the difference between 2 guilds at same level, but one of them accepts "minors" and the other doesnt? The answer is respect - without those "minors", the guild would never have anything going on, nor would they probably even exist.
U have to get some of those ppl to build a strong guild from the very bottom. There's a reason its called "From Zero to Hero".

Only very very few guilds are aware of this, either cus they are too arrogant and high on their own glory, or cus they simply dont care and want everything served on a silverplate.

Personally, I deeply respect the guilds who can manage to accept minors into their guild and still get some activities going so that everybody feel they are a part of a greater relationship which suits everyone's hopes and expectations.

Long story short - when u have the BiS items from crafting and 5man heroics, u need to be lucky when searching a guild, cus nothing is better than joining a guild and enter a longtime community.

So far, so good.

So, Im starting to get used to be PvE'ing as hunter rather than shaman. The whole aspect of the fights, even the surroundings in the game are different from melee to ranged, it really changes the perspective.
So far Ive been running alot of heroics and a few raids, and I have to say its more than fascinating to raid as hunter, u have so many options and u mean a big deal to the raid as a whole - granted, a deathknight can replace ur 10% AP buff, but he cannot Misdirect his threat to the Maintank and therefore help with the tanking that way, and he cannot stand in range from everything and deal awesome damage, avoiding whatever cleaves or fire breath bosses might have.

One of the few things I will need to get used to tho, is the amount of ammo needed for a raid as its really hard (atleast I think it is) to calculate how much u need for a raid. Is it gonna be a slambam run or is it gonna be a wipefest? Also I need to get better at managing my time in Viper, and learn when to use my Rapid Fire combined with Viper.

Well, Im out of time, so I'll catch ya later with more info about my new WoW experience :)

I got Reroll'd.

Dont you just love raiding and every perspective of it? The tactics, the mechanics, the adrenaline and teamwork, the yelling on voiceprograms when downing a progrsss boss, and ofc the loot. Its all awesome, however, every so often players gain a burnout - this means you might have been playing on a level so high that it becomes a job for you. That sucks, and its exactly what has happened to me.

My beloved shaman has been taking thru lots of raids and Ive gained some of the best gear available in the contents since Ulduar.
The time has come, I need a reroll.

I am now playing a Marksmanship Hunter, currently 4800 gearscore with nearly every BiS item from 5man hc's and a few items from ToC10.
Im still learning, but Im doing my best and Ive been searching the best websites for faq's and tips about the hunter universe.

Here's a link for my new little toy, have a look if your interested:
Niahna the Patient (if "Apiranthian Fighters" is displayed as my current guild, nevermind it)
Ofc any tips or advice on spec/gear are more than welcome :)

I need alot of gear still, and ofc Im working on my profs as Engineering would be awesome for making ammo myself rather than paying 5g/1k shot.

This was a little change, Im looking forward to see what happens within raids when I get some more armor penetration - Have a nice day!
