Someone noted about the annoying gun sound. Bout a week ago i found another way to fix that. A nice guy posted up an addon on curse for it. It replaces the normal gun sound with a nice sniper rifle sound, including the reload for it. And it applies it to EVERY gun in your group. not only your own.

And gratz on the gearing Mania.

now thats what i call Lackadaisical gear u got there mania, good job. could upgrade the bracers with the giantmaims, way higher armor and Ap than eaglebracers. i would have also said if u pvped, the new gears out but its still weak on ap. and 6500g is cheap compare to my server ( baelgun ) all those items would have costed all together as much as the bike or even more. ( 12k -15k )

One question to all readers of that blog…. am I the only one which does have difficulties using Viper Sting on a mob/boss but have almost no effect ?
Mana exhausting was in the past something I also used if fighting against NPCs with a mana consuming ability (e.g. mages but not players, just NPCs).
Since a few weeks (not sure it was Patch 3.10) it seems Viper Sting is useless against NPCs (it’s still working in PvP). Is that as intended ? Or is this a hidden nerf against hunters ?

These sorts of posts are wildly helpful for me, because while I’m happy to bumble along with folks on instance runs I constantly feel shy about grouping with my hunter. Plus my hunter is the character I tend to love soloing on the most. So finding other ways to gear up besides instancing is wonderful! I really love bows best (I really like the sounds and arrow animations) – but that Nesingwary gun is really beautiful.

Don’t forget the enchants!
I would expect a +20% improvement from no enchants to
good enchants on all pieces

Congratulations on your nifty new gear, Mania. I’ll keep this post in mind for when I finally hit 80 (currently 71 >.> ), but the shaman main comes first (currently 77 <.< ).

There’s some good suggestions for easy instances in the posts above :)
As a hunter, youre “just dps” and not likely to get hassled by your group unless you do something blatantly wrong. Don’t worry, the healer who didnt do anything wrong will take 90% of the insults and hassling! ^^
Just be sure to dismiss your pet before jumping off ledges and things where it’d run off and bring friends. If there’s cc be careful, but seriously almost no one uses CC in lich king anyway, not likely to see it. Other than that, just do your thing with your pet not growing, maybe toss on a threat meter, and be FD happy if youre worried about pulling aggro and having people bug you about it.

Besides, who would bug mania?? If I was on your server, I might pay for an instance run with you! And then bore the paladins while chatting away about pets.
