The one thing I like most about a hunter toon is the ability to have pets with companion pets.

This is Thorain Storm with baby BB upon an iceberg in the frozen sea

This is Miosain my cat and spook the kitten

I have always loved Owls, This is Furyain.

I love my white eagle. Though, I am yet to settle upon a name for him.

So its been a couple of weeks from last I wrote.

I finally got Widget one companion pet I have been wanting, the drop from daily fishing quest finaly yielded Chuck the baby croc. though I haven't been playing widget a lot just the odd daily that I like to do.

I been busy playing my hunter for a change of pace. Though there is the whole new quest zone in Northrend with everybody becoming Knights and champions of their race thing and other achievements and things I would like, I simply not in the mood and they can wait not like they going to be taken out of play in the next month

ITs been great fun and I really enjoying playing my hunter, thus far I have gotten him to lvl 72.

I got the "easter" achievement for my hunter a day or two after the first day mad rush of got to have it now a load of people fighting over eggs and getting pissed with frustration thing, So yeah I liked the ring the title achievement had "Cernowain the Noble" and will be most likely the only title he has. I not into doing achievements on all my toons. As I not into doing an achievement for the sake of it, the closet my main Widget will get to it is getting enough eggs for a pet bunny and the polymorph spell and thats it.

For those that read my blog, its no real gussing game why I have and like my hunter so much, as the one thing I do love is the games pets, o and the fact I can kinda match up companion pets to my hunter pets is a boon.

all my pets have two things in common, One they are all white ( so is my hunters hair) Two all three are rare, elite, or spawned pets.

I got Olm the wise tamed ( at lvl ) so my wonderful Owl, has a white tick bird hatchling not exactly the same I know but does look pretty cool when both flying along side one another, and when I jump on my white cat mount I have a reflection of my current hunter pet I have a great white Lion, his companion = white kitten

For my thrid and final pet I managed to with help from a priest friend, tame Hosser the elite lvl 71 bear from H.F and of corse baby blizzard bear is the companion, ( which also looks best, and reminiscent of the bears and cubs in dragon blight) so I have a pet for each tree. Yet more to the point, each pet I have found better for one aspect of play over another.

I did do the beast master talent tree, but found it a bit of a waste and prefer duel spec of MM and survial trees, probably because this suits my play style better. and found one is better for solo play while the other is better for instances and B.G's etc

I shall defiantly be getting this hunter up to lvl 80 and raid ready

I like PVP with this toon, However on my last foray into battle grounds (lvl 69 ) I was shocked at what I found. apart from W.S.G

The other battle fields were so light on Alliance players, the horde players at times out numbered us 10 to 1 ( respective of battle ground game group sizes ) I did get to have a couple of P.V.P achievements, and win the odd game, though I did give up in frustration. As the battle fields were it seems resembling a lot of older world game instances. It appears the been there done that attitude, and the thats old school, nobody does them any more, seems to have crossed right over into the battle fields. I found myself waiting for hours to get into a b.g , and not because they were so full, because not enough players on Alliance side were about to even get a game started and not even the incitement of BG quest of the day could not pull more player's in. IN the end it was frustration that took any and all fun out of the B.G's So I went back to lvling.

I prefer bows over guns, I just do not like guns , and can live without the bang of a gun in my ear, I hate loud and sudden bangs. I always found even as a kid a bow had a lvl of class and skill required that guns simply do not. Its a pity though that a lot of the Hunter rewards for the Alliance when it comes to weapons is guns, The Dev team apparently prefers the Alliance to have more Dwarf Hunters than Night Elf Hunters, based on quest rewards, and most mail is suited for Sharmen not hunters. The mail quest rewards or lack there of for HUnters armor is ok I can make that. THough I can make all the top guns, on my mage, of corse as stated I hate guns. So if a profession comes out where i can make bows I shall indeed take it up.

So yes life as a Night Elf hunter is fun.

I still play widget, though just giving him a break, as he is a prety well finished there not all tomuch left for him to get or want to get. The only way I could up his gear is 25 man raids, and I am more a casual raider and go raiding to help the guild dps side as new players lvl and get their toon's raid ready.

So for now my main play time is on my hunter, all the achievement's and all the new items can wait. I have hunting of another kind to do for now. See how we go.

Its All WOW : Hunter
