Hunting in the Plaguelands

Hey there! Pull up a chair have a mug of Aerie Peak Pale Ale, and I’ll tell you a tale of hunting out in the Plaguelands.

You see, what are now known as the Plaguelands, use to be wonderful and beautiful. It was home to the Capital City of Lordaeron until that fateful day and the Plague of Undeath was spread via the grain. Everything there became corrupted thanks to Kek’Thuzad and his Cult of the Damned.

The poor folks over in Stratholme never had a chance. The plague was unleashed and those that could not escape either died, became corrupted, or fell to some other gruesome fate too horrible to imagine.

It was here while mining Mithril Ore that I came across the some of the most unspeakable wretches, Abominations, Ghosts, Ghouls, Oozes, Wraiths and Zombies… But the Diseased Grizzly.. brr.. still sends shivers down my spine.

Imagine all of the fury of a normal Grizzly.. Worse than even the time I had to take on the Dreaded Den Mother and her cubs. These bears would sniff you out faster than a spider and hit you three times as hard.

They would chase you endlessly. Forcing you either to run into the town full of Ghouls, Abominations or out into the lake hoping you would be able to swim to safety only to land ashore in a worse state than you began.

One time I was pinned up by one of these Grizzlies. My back up against the mountains bordering a cave full of oozes. I sent in my pet. Hoping to distract it. But to no avail. It only swiped it away, only to start charging me. I thought maybe I could Feign Death and it would only sniff and decide to leave me alone. But that disgusting grizzly knew I was only faking and pounded me harder. Trying to dodge its burly maul I did the only thing I had left. I threw out a Freeze Trap hoping to buy some time and bandage up. Then I used every trinket and started firing arrows as fast as I could. Finally, I downed that wretched animal.

So young traveler be careful in the Plaguelands. You’ll never know when one of those wretched beasts might sneak up behind you.

I think I’ll have ale to calm my nerves….

Extended Maintenance Tomorrow - 2.4.2 To Be Released???

Extended Maintenance Tomorrow could mean 2.4.2 will finally be released.

Trying to make sure and keep everyone updated on what that means. Here’s an idea of things discussed over on the official PTR Notes. As well as things from WoW Insider that could affect us hunters.

Remember, these are the PTR Notes, so just because it’s listed below won’t mean it’ll make it to the Official Patch Release.

Hunter Specific

  • Aspect of the Viper: This ability now grants an additional amount of mana each 5 seconds equal to 35% of the hunter’s level.
  • Boar Charge: This ability will no longer make Growl cast immediately after it generates excessive threat.
  • The pet ability Growl will no longer scale with pet Attack Power.
  • Dire Ravens in Blade’s Edge Mountains now tameable.
  • Scare Beast: The range on this spell has been increased to 30 yards and it is now instant cast.
  • Tamed Drywallow Snappers now will know Bite 5 (instead of Claw 5.)

Other Changes

  • Abilities and trinkets that trigger after killing an opponent that gives experience or honor will no longer activate after killing mobs during bombing quests.
  • Bow of Searing Arrows and Red Whelp Gloves will no longer break crowd control effects. (NOTE: I’d make sure and test this one. We were suppose to see something like this earlier, but it never made it.)
  • Elixir of Demonslaying: This elixir now grants ranged attack power against demons as intended.
  • Most Main-Hand weapons are now One-Hand weapons.
  • Shattered Sun Pendant of Might: The triggered effect from this item will no longer break Scattershot or other crowd-controlling affects. The visual on the Scryer version has been updated.
  • Shadowsong Panther will no longer prematurely despawn.
  • It is no longer possible for pets to get stuck in place after exiting the Spectral Realm in the Kalecgos encounter.

These are just the one’s I found. Go check both the Current Official Patch Notes or the PTR Patch Notes and see what’s changed or will change.
