Hunter, whaaaaat?

Jun28

I decided to try to power level my hunter, who was originally human, to blood elf.  Only, the way they hold the bow looks really, really weird.  Was it always this way? I don’t recall.  Shaco pointed out they use a bow like a cross bow.  It looks ridiculous.

 

 

What are my legs even DOING there? Holding in pee?

 

I mean, this is a big deal to me.  I seriously played a male human mystic in Lineage 2 because I didn’t like how the females RAN.

I decided to compare it against humans, who not only hold it a good way, with a good stance, but they close one eye to target.  I don’t know if that’s correct but it looks cool.

 

Night elves nock and draw really well too, but just stand with both feet together.  I like the human stance better.

Orc isn’t half bad, they have their feet apart but not as much as humans, they don’t even attempt to pull an arrow from an invisible quiver like the night elf, but otherwise it’s similar to night elf.  Other than being an ugly ass orc I mean.

Draenei is ‘ok’ but they make an angry face doing it. They also appear to pull an arrow out of said invisible quiver.

 

For kicks, made a gnome hunter. Their animation is just fine.  But they don’t look like they are trying to shoot you straight through the heart like humans, so human it is!  Gnome is super cute though, but maybe on a new hunter.

 

I can actually play FROST

I’ve tried playing as a frost mage over the years, but it never quite worked out.  I would do exactly what I saw the good players doing but would die rather quickly while their shield seemed to hold out for ages and they could kite for miles.  My shield lasts half a second, they break my roots, and beat me to hell.

But in Legion  it’s considerably easier to play.  Someone mentioned it feels like a WoD shadow priest, and it does.  If you take Glacial Spike, you ramp up to 5 icicles, then use it to form a big one (with a cast time) and let it go for a lot of damage.  That doesn’t really work in PvP so I took Comet storm, but frost now has nice little procs for Flurry and Ice Lance, and with Frost Nova, Ice Nova, the frozen orb, Comet storm all on very decent cool downs, plus double nova, double blink, it’s very fun to play.  It’s about on par with Fire, though I do miss Fire’s ability to spam cast Flamestrike. Blizzard is on a cool down.

 

World pvp is still bogus though.  I have that video where a warrior took me to 20% health before I could even react, that frost mage that did the same when I was questing, and now a rogue who took nearly all my health before I could blink.  I was at 40% and just fell over dead.  So sad. I miss normal wpvp.

 

But, we won?

I love when we get ragers who quit the match, and then we go on to win.  I guess we know who was the problem right?  In the case of this guy, he rage-quit, and then we won.  I’ve seen it happen more than a few times.

I also phased into a losing match where at least 2 other people had quit, and grabbed D.va just to get on point quick.  Not only did we win, but I won, HARD.

 

 

I wonder how good the ragers really think they are.

Happy Balloon Day

Well, this is new.

 

But he won’t move until there are three people! What the heck?

This may take a while.  It was so fun I wanted to go on all of them, but standing around for 40 minutes waiting for 3 people made that impossible.

DEMON HUNTERS!

I mean, it’s bad enough they can destroy you in half a second, heal like they have unlimited Lay on Hands, but now they can get to places no one else can reach. It’s getting really obnoxious.  They can jump down, give you a wack, then leap right back up on the top. NPCs can’t even reach them.
