Hunter 100 - 110

-
Beast Master Erlenmyer
Last Friday, I worked at night, so I had most of the day off. I spent this time leveling up my Alliance hunter from 102 up to 110. Wearing all my heirloom gear, I was actually a bit surprised on how quickly this happened. Erl managed to reach 110 by only:
  1. I participated in a legion assault. Since I was sub-110, I couldn't do the 3-man scenario after 4 quests, but I did get a LOT of xp (plus a hidden bonus of racking up almost 4000 nethershards by max level). I did on the other hand run all of the legion invasion quests in the zone. 
  2. I started questing in Highmountain, since that's the home zone of the hunter order hall. I still haven't completed the quest chain. 
  3. I've gotten about half way through the Order hall campaign. Still haven't opened up the 3rd relic slot on my weapon.  Currently at Missing Mages and realized that I'll need to open Suramar to continue.
  4. I started the engineering quest chain, but got stuck on roughly the 4th quest (create Reeves Snack unit) because I didn't want to buy 80 felslate off the auction house (when my paladin can mine it up rather easily).
At 110, I ran immediately over to Broken Isles. This helped opened up the second ring on my artifact weapon and allowed me to spend all of that AP that I grabbed. The quest chain is rather short, mostly some flying around doing huntery things. 


Last night, Sunday, my guild had an alt run night. We ran 3 of the 4 mythic dungeons (for the weekly quest) the other night. Since I was DPS and our healer was tanking, we went without a healer at all. It was either 2 tanks and 3 DPS or simply 1 tank and 4 DPS. Sure, we wiped 4 times on Helya due to AOE damage, but overall it wasn't that unpleasant. With a warlock and mage, we had some self-heal options available. We had to take trash pulls slower due to Erlenmyer needing to eat between each. In the end, he managed to replace several dauntless items bringing him from 839 to 847. 

In addition, I see that my hunter pets are lacking. I've been running those pets you get in the starting zone for awhile (bear, cat, etc.) According to Icy-Veins...
All Beast Mastery Hunters should have a battle resurrection pet and a Bloodlust pet ready to go. Quilens, Moths and Cranes bring battle resurrection, and Nether Rays and Core Hounds bring Bloodlust. If your group already has Bloodlust in it, you should generally default to a battle ress pet in dungeons.
A resurrection pet would have been awesome after the many wipes in the mythic dungeons. I can easily zone back to Pandaria and go tame a Quilen (Mogushun Vaults anyone?) I'll have to think about what to name it.. 

(side note: All my hunter pets also have science equipment names. I try to keep the first letter of their name to match their class. Bunson the bear, Scalpel the snow leopard, Mortar the Moose. Quark?? )

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
