Well, the upgrade for 5000g is from 280% to 310%, so that's a little more worth while. There are no 300% mounts in the game. I'm just glad I get 310% for all my mounts for free since I already have one. ^_^
I want to say I wish they'd introduce faster land mounts. 100% speed just seems slow nowdays. 150% speed?
But then again, not much point I guess. Being able to fly and all..

[kiss my weasel]

Yeah I wrote the wrong number on the mount speed, thanks for correcting it.

Bownage seems to be back in action by the way, I just bought ilvl264 legs and got the belt for frost emblems. I'm experimenting with MM spec and I'll probably read up on it more and gem for ArP to get some more DPs, survival doesn't seem to be going anywhere at the moment.

[Flesh Tunnel]

Yeah Urge, MM with 100% ArP is pretty damn deadly as far as raiding goes. I know a MM Hunter I used to raid with, had 80% crit unbuffed with 100% ArP. Did 14k dps in ICC 25 with just the first dmg increase buff...he was so OP.

Account hacked again
This time I got no email from Blizzard I just couldn't log into my account and when I tried to recover my password it said no name matches with that email. Honestly Im getting pissed off, it's really frustrated. I tried called there support line and there busy. Sent Blizzard an email and no response so far.

[Alex Vincent]

Damn dude. You just have terrible luck.
You obviously have some sort of malware on your PC if you got hacked twice in a row like that..I'm glad I'm on a Mac, don't really have to worry about being hacked as most keylogger/hacker malware doens't work on Macs unless specifically designed to.

How? Do you not make a strong password or what? It's not that hard to protect yourself from this frustration. If you didn't get an email Blizzard probably doesn't care, they left a message at the login specifically saying the protect your account with a proper password and you can buy authenticators.

Do you happen to know how much ArP rating I would need to reach that? I've got the spec ready, I've got decent enough gear (armory is in OP if I recall) so I think I could pull off pretty decent dps with that spec when I get a feel for the rotation, I did around 7k on average in Icc10 last night, but that was with 30% buff, so I really want to increase the dps on my hunter, I've gotten slightly bored with tanking lately, it's nice to have constant options, but with little time and other stuff I wanna do it can also be a bit annoying.

Now that I have two decently geared 80's though, I have options, so I figure I might focus on my hunter a while.

No malware or anything show up on scans.

My password was like 20 characters long with letters and numbers. I never visit any site unless I know that it's safe. I haven't done anything stupid that would lead to my account being hacked.

No friends around when you play? Shoulder surfing is easy. There's something or else your account wouldn't be getting hacked. No one is specifically targeting you.

I INDEED JUST SO HAPPEN TO KNOW URGE!
100% ArP is reached through 1400 Armor Penetration. Although some get trinkets, like the Scorpion trinket from Uhhh Forge of Souls, Mjolnirs Runestone, Grim Toll, etc, that have an ArP proc. It's not as good as 100% passive ArP obviously because it's not 100% uptime, just like, 40%. But 1400 rating is the 100% mark.

Hmm, I might try shooting for that, would it be advisable to just replace all my agi gems with arp gems untill I reach or get close enough to that cap or would replacing all my agi gems be an exceptionally bad idea?

You need to have good gear to go ArP MM. I know that for a fact. Because if you don't, it just not worth it. I would ask around. I don't know myself, because I played as SV so obviously I went agi.

For a hunter, it's only a good idea to regem full ArP if you can reach 85% or more ArP. I'm not sure what the rating is required to reach 85%, as I'm stupid and terrible at math, but do the math considering 1400 is 100%, and I'm sure you could figure it out.
A good addon to help calculate all that stuff is http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/rating-buster.aspx, which makes your item tooltips look like http://media.curse.com/Curse.Projects.ProjectImages/3377/5068/StatBuster.jpg, with stats broken down for you and gives you %'s of what they add. Also, it doesn't only add it for gear tooltips; gems, spells, etc. Anything that throws a number at you that has to do with your stats, it'll break it down for you.

79...the final stretch..I may kill myself.

[jason worrell]

My god! 24 hour maintenance. What will I ever do with my day!?!?!

[priscillaaa]

Yeah I should have good enough gear to go ArP and MM. But it's been a while since I played hunter now and I don't actually know much about the MM spec, though I have read up on it quite a bit so I've got the right spec and I'm memorizing the rotation etc. But I don't really know just how well geared I need to be to make it effective, so anyone who knows hunters well in that regard is encouraged to check my armory in the OP.

About your character, you definitely need to get rid of the necklace for something better if you can. I have the same one And I was never able to upgrade no matter how many times I did a raid. I know there are better necklaces out there, just forgot what raids they were in, I wanna say ToC 25 had a better one. But I am not sure, I know ICC has really good ones, I think one even drops of trash mobs.

[Ricky Rayner]

[censored]! Forgot about maintenance today..

Oh well, think it's time to play one of my various of neglected games. Star Craft anyone?

Yeah I need to replace that, I'm hoping for a drop in ICC10 but I might look and see if I can find something else as well.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I noticed Warpants wasn't in the OP, so here's a link ready for copying and pasting.

I'll put him in.
But yeah, I don't know if you saw my earlier post or not but, only regem full ArP if you can reach 85% or more.
BTW, Urge, why are you using that shield on your warrior haha. That thing is ancient, and iLevel 200 lol. You've got mostly 245+gear, even some ICC. That's like entry level Naxx 10 shield man! :rofl:

I will tell you what I tell everyone.

Shut the [censored] up If you had any idea how unlucky I am with shield drops, you would kill yourself, it's that [censored] depressing. I'm trying to summon up the will to at least farm HoR normal for that shield just to have something untill the one in ICC drops from heroic gunship.

[Catharine Krupinski]

Run TOTC dude, they have some sick shields drop out of there, 10 and 25.

[James Rhead]

Run TOTC dude, they have some sick shields drop out of there, 10 and 25.

Yeah, see here's the thing. People on my server are not all idiots, there are plenty of excellent players on Twilight's Hammer, I know, if there weren't we wouldn't have downed Blood Queen in a PuG. Here's the problem, there's something about TotC that turns people into complete retards. I have been in one, yes one group for that instance that did not svck. So farming that shield is pretty much not something I'm considering at all, if I get a good group and it works then fine, if not, I'm going for HoR normal or better, ICC (heroic gunship). That shield has to drop sometime, I did get the awesome heroic shoulders from it on Bownage.
