Dropping an exotic and dual-speccing.... questions...
Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2010 11:18 pm
I am planning on dual speccing to MM or SV... whichever is the best for groups, but I am running into a couple of questions I need your help with...
I have the 4 Spirit Beasts and Aotona (the parrot from Sholozar Basin).
I am thinking about ditching the one pet that I spent the least amount of camping to get and the look that is the least appealing to me... and I know that results may vary...
I spent about 5 weeks of 5-6 hour days camping Aotona til I nabbed it... I walked away with the parrot and 3000+ Saronite ores along with a lot of Titanium and other mining stuffeses.
Skoll took me about 3 weeks to nab after he went live.
Loque'nahak took me all of 2 minutes... it was the first time I was in SB and I flew right up to him walking around. Lucky, I know.
Arcturis took about 4 days of constant sitting at the PC and staring at the PC... with the longest stint being almost 20 hours straight... and it didn't even show in that time...
And with Gondria... I flew around ZD a couple of nights not really "camping" him and never saw him, so I logged off at one of his spawn points and logged on one night in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep and he was just walking around like he was the King Chicken of the coup.
The one I will be ditching is Gondria. I can't part with Loque'nahak because of his unique skin and roar... and the other pets just took way too long to aquire for me to throw them away so easily.
So since the hard part is out of the way... I would like some input of opinions and whatnot on what to do next since I have ALWAYS been a BM hunter...
First, I know when I switch to MM or SV I can no longer use exotic pets, so what are the top three pet families to use in groups and still have the ability to do some solo stuff (dailies and whatnot)?
I know the wolf family has a buff that gives everyone an increase in Attack Power, but is there another pet that can "outdo" that dps increase just by doing its own thing?
What are YOUR favorite MM or SV pets that you actually use when in groups (instances) and do well in the dps category.
I don't mind having a wolf, but it seems EVERYONE has a wolf and I don't want to have to run around with a normal looking pet that everyone else seems to have .... in other words... If I was to get a wolf that "looks" different than most... which one should I go after? I kinda like the white, red, and black models... (all rare mobs, I guess.)
Also, what is the recommended spec (talent point-wise) for a DPS MM or SV hunter?
What about glyphs?
I am asking here before I look at Elitistjerks, because I think I'll get more of a casual gamer answer here.
I am looking forward to everyone's comments.
And thank you!
