Camel-Toes!

While leveling fishing on my druid and fishing for feast mats for our guild run(which we didn’t get to go on due to lack of people online), I came across the famous Mysterious Camel Figurine, figured it was going to turn in to dust. It didn’t. Instead it ported me to somewhere in the middle of no where.

There Dormus was standing in all his camel-hoarding glory with a golden dragon around his portrait. I feral charged in and attacked him with heavy paws. He dropped the mount Reins of the Grey Riding Camel, got the Feat of Strength Scourer of the Eternal Sands, and the title “the Camel-Hoarder.”

This Druid is officially luckier than Guntitan.

Dragon Soul Hunter Loot

The difficulty path you seek is entirely up to you.  You can obtain gear from Raid Finder, regular Dragon Soul, or Heroic Dragon Soul. Weapons in Raid Finder are only available from Madness of Deathwing.  Each part of Raid Finder Dragon Soul gives you 250 Valor Points, giving you a easy way to obtain half of the valor you can get per week.

Here is the list:

Morchok

Hand
Sporebeard Gauntlets ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Morchok is the lottery boss in Looking for Raid. He has a chance to drop every Raid Finder token.  Too bad he doesn’t drop the same tokens in regular or heroic DS.

Gauntlets of the Corrupted Protector turn in for Wyrmstalker’s Gloves.
Leggings of the Corrupted Protector turn in for Wyrmstalker’s Legguards.
Shoulders of the Corrupted Protector turn in for Wyrmstalker’s Spaulders.
Chest of the Corrupted Protector turn in for Wyrmstalker’s Tunic.
Crown of the Corrupted Protector turn in for Wyrmstalker’s Headguard.

Warlord Zon’ozz

Hand
Gauntlets of the Corrupted Protector ( RF | Normal | Heroic ) turn in for
Wyrmstalker’s Gloves ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Range
Horrifying Horn Arbalest ( Normal | Heroic )

Yor’sahj the Unsleeping

Legs
Leggings of the Corrupted Protector ( RF | Normal | Heroic ) turn in for
Wyrmstalker’s Legguards ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Two-Hand
Spire of Coagulated Globules ( Normal | Heroic )

Hagara the Stormbinder

Shoulder
Shoulders of the Corrupted Protector ( RF | Normal | Heroic ) turn in for
Wyrmstalker’s Spaulders ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Feet
Treads of Dormant Dreams ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Finger
Signet of Grasping Mouths ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Ultraxion

Chest
Chest of the Corrupted Protector ( RF | Normal | Heroic ) turn in for
Wyrmstalker’s Tunic ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Wrist
Bracers of Looming Darkness ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Warmaster Blackhorn

Head
Crown of the Corrupted Protector ( RF | Normal | Heroic ) turn in for
Wyrmstalker’s Headguard ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Trinket
Starcatcher Compass ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Waist
Belt of the Beloved Companion ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Spine of Deathwing

Trinket
Wrath of Unchaining ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Madness of Deathwing

2-Hand
Kiril, Fury of Beasts ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Range
Vishanka, Jaws of the Earth ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Shared Boss Loot

Trinket
Vial of the Shadows ( RF | Normal | Heroic )

Trash Mobs

Range
Ruinblaster Shotgun – For a dwarf hunter, this is a powerful range weapon, because of the racial. It only drops from trash mobs in Normal Dragon Soul.

I hope the list helps. Good luck in the newest raid and good luck when it comes to drops. Raid finder is evil.

Note: I realized after I originally posted the post that I forgot to add in the links to the tier sets themselves. I will come around to do so in the near future.  At least I hope to do so, probably could have done it by now if I didn’t type up this disclaimer. Done!  I do have a nice little write up about the tier set bonuses right here.

4.3 Valor Point Priority

It is now a lot easier to hit Valor cap.  You can get 500 Valor Points from LFR (Looking For Raid) from doing both parts. If you are raiding you can accumulate the rest from the Dragon Soul raid or the new 5 mans (Well of Eternity, End Time, and Hour of Twilight).  With that I’ll leave you with a new valor point priority list:

Neck
Cameo of Terrible Memories - 1,250 Valor Points

Ring
Emergency Descent Loop - 1,250 Valor Points

The neck and ring slots are best in slot and should be the first items you get.

Waist
Cord of Dragon Sinew - 1,650 Valor Points

Back
Batwing Cloak - 1,250 Valor Points

Depending on what you have the waist can take priority over getting the back.  If you obtained Dreadfire Drape from normal Lord Rhyolith there isn’t much improvement except a nice chunk of stamina, if you have the heroic version of Dreadfire Drape then you wouldn’t waste any Valor on a new cloak.  The heroic version of Dreadfire Drape is BiS.

Boots
Boneshard Boots(BOE) - 1,650 Valor Points or Gold

Wrist
Dragonbelly Bracers(BOE) - 1,250 Valor Points or Gold

The feet and wrist are both BoE. I recommend using a alts Valor or gold to obtain both.  These 2 slots are dependent on what you already have or if you obtained gear from normal Dragon Soul or Dragon Soul LFR.  The wrist isn’t that good and you can refrain from getting them until the prices go down.

Trinket
Kiroptyric Sigil - 1,650 Valor Points

For the Trinket Slot it really depends on what you already have or if you obtained any from normal Dragon Soul, Dragon Soul LFR, or Firelands.  I personally play as a BM hunter and would rather enjoy this on use proc of thick agility and use it combined with Kill Command.  Frostheim wrote a nice write up on the new trinkets at Wow Insider.

Head, Chest, Hands

The priority of what pieces you obtain is impacted by the order you obtain the tier 13 pieces from regular Dragon Soul, Dragon Soul LFR, or Alizabal in Baradin Hold. For BM hunters the head, Zeherah’s Dragonskull Crown(2,200 Valor Points), is BiS. It is especially sexy since it’s named after Zeherah from FemaleDwarf.com.  The chest, Dragonflayer Vest(2,200 Valor Points), would be of the highest priority if your luck is running low.  I would save the hands, Arrowflick Gauntlets(1,650 Valor Points), for absolutely last since you might be able to get the tier gloves, Wyrmstalker’s Gloves, from either version of DS or BH.

Well… I’m pooped.

Well of Eternity, Hour of Twilight, and End Time Hunter Loot

Time to look at the loot from the new 5-mans coming out in 4.3.

Well of Eternity

Peroth’arn
Has nothing useful for a hunter.

Queen Azshara
Breastplate of the Queen’s Guard - A nice chest piece.  This will not replace your tier 12.

Mannoroth and Varo’then
Thornwood Staff - Cheap alternative to Ranseur of Hatred.

Mannoroth’s Signet - Sexy new ring that will be good for BM hunters.

Legguards of the Legion - A nice leg piece.  This will not replace you tier 12.

Hour of Twilight

Acurion
Has nothing useful for a hunter.

Asira Dawnslayer
Dawnslayer Helm - For those unfortunate enough who did not win a head token from Ragnaros.  Does not replace tier 12.

Archbishop Benedictus
Betrayer’s Pauldrons - For those unfortunate enough who did not win a head token from Majordomo Staghelm.  Does not replace tier 12.

End Time

Echos Shared Loot
Dead End Boots - If you did not get the boots off of Gatekeeper Baleroc.

Sylvanas
Cloak of the Banshee Queen - Sylvanas is a hunter at heart.  She is the only boss that drops stuff for us hunters.

Windrunner’s Bow - Sexy ass bow from a sexy boss.  She can string my bow anytime she wants.  Even if she is undead.

Murozond
Arrow of Time - This trinket will replace any 359s and 365s.

That’s the list.  Should give you a good idea which slots you can replace.

Happy Turkey Day from DrunkenDwarf.net!

Enjoy these screen shots.

I would like to thank my in game buddy Ace for helping me get the achievement Turkey Lurkey.  That’s how we got the following screen shot.

Try some roasted Fire Kitty! I guess that you would call it Fire Fire Kitty?

Everyone be safe. Drive safe. Eat plenty!

My Druid is Lucky!

After doing Firelands on Guntitan, I decided to try for some mounts.  For whatever reason I go on my druid.  I prowl past the adds in Sethekk Halls, kill the first boss, reach Anzu, kill it, then the Raven Lord drops.  In disbelief, I head to Magister’s Terrace, prowl past the adds, kill the 3 bosses, and reach Kael’thas Sunstrider, kill him, and the Swift White Hawkstider drops.  Within minutes of each other I got 2 rare mounts.

I still can’t believe it.  The junk thing is when I tried to go on Guntitan I ended up being saved to too many instances.

Fire Kitty Staff

Patch 4.3 BM buffed!

It looks like BM and SV are getting buffs. Tempted to go on the PTR to try it out.

Hunter

Beast Mastery

Survival

Pet

It even looks like my tenacity pets are getting a buff. Maybe they will be the AOE kings again. Imagine a gorilla solo tanking with a ass stomp animation?

Blizzard give me more. Fix Kill Command’s range, Bestial Wrath’s cool down timer needs to be shorter, increase the damage that the hunter does during The Beast Within, and maybe increase the speed our pet runs by 30% by default.

That should fix our DPS being on the bottom. The frog pic is just some random pic from my phone.

Hunter Tier 13

The pics are up. The quote says it all about this set and its look.

“we limited the use of dragon heads to the helm and chained leathery wings around the shoulders which gives the impression of a skeletal dragon crouching over the Hunter’s upper body. “

Reminds me of the Wrath of the Lich King Collector’s Edition Frosty pet and it resting on your upper body. This is actually a set I’m looking forward to collecting. The look is amazing! I do like the tier sets that do make you look like you hunted for it. So how does the Murloc set fit in? Did we go to Elwynn Forest just to hunt Murlocs? I’m pretty sure someone made a comic about that.

The bonuses so far are:

• 2P — Steady Shot and Cobra Shot generate double the amount of focus.
• 4P — Your Arcane Shot ability has a chance to grant 30% haste to you and your pet for 15 sec.

This set bonus just screams BM to me. Since when after patch 4.1 did our pets get buffs? I do feel this is more of a way for Blizzard to test a increase in focus regeneration and haste on Hunters and their pets. Why does the set bonuses scream BM to me? First of all my strongest attack, *cough* Kill Command, as BM is highly dependent on having enough focus required to cast it. The set bonuses will also allow me to reforge away from haste and more in to Mastery or Crit.

In the BM tree there are several abilities, besides Kill Command, dependent on Crit:

• Killing Streak – 20% damage increase and 10 focus reduction to next Kill Command.
• Invigoration – Self focus regeneration based on Pet critical hits.
• Go for the Throat – Pet focus regeneration based on Your critical hits.
• Sic ‘Em! – After Arcane shot critically hits, next pet’s ability costs 0 focus.

Mastery gets:

• Kill Command – Especially useful for breaking Rageface’s rage.
• Pet Auto Attack – Constant damage increased by Mastery.
• Claw, Bite, and Smack – Constant damage increased by Mastery.

Basically you can build your hunter 3 ways(Crit, Mastery, or Haste) without the bonuses. If you manage to get your 4 set bonus for Tier 13, I would focus on reforging into Crit or Mastery. Dropping haste will be good but we still need people to test on the PTR. When the Theory crafters figure it out, I will post.

Brewfest Kodo is mine!

After a long year wait and countless Direbrew kills the damn Kodo is mine! I managed to get the Great Brewfest Kodo on Guntitan.

I feel relieved that my hunt is over for the Kodo, but the hunt is never over my friends. Next month during Halllow’s End the Headless Horseman will return to Azeroth to haunt us. The Headless Horseman’s Mount is next!

‘Til next time…
