Re: If only I knew while leveling
Today, though? I'd tell a new hunter to get a tenacity pet for soloing, to mix the questing with random dungeons, and the ABCs of grouping (growl off, attack the tank's target, protect the healer, all that lovely stuff).

So did I. At least in my case ot was somewhat beneficial, since I played a protadin back then. Still...Vephriel wrote:I always assumed that if a piece of gear had more armor, it was better.

Same here. I was wearing a lot of SM mail when I got to 40 because "mail is better! it has more armor," hehe. Even though all that mail had str on it.Vephriel wrote:I always assumed that if a piece of gear had more armor, it was better.
I also thought when I first started playing the faster I pushed the attack button, the faster my character would attack. I had such sore hands after the first day.

That's true, the first couple of times I played I kept hitting 1 continuously! Haha! I don't even recall how I realised I just had to leave it on...Wassa wrote:I also thought when I first started playing the faster I pushed the attack button, the faster my character would attack.

Re: If only I knew while leveling
Oh man I totally remember doing that too! xD Just spamming the attack button...lol. Thankfully I figured out quickly that I could just press it once. x)Sarayana wrote:That's true, the first couple of times I played I kept hitting 1 continuously! Haha!

picked out gear by how *pretty* it looked
Yeah...I think I've repressed some of those memories...oh god, it's all starting to come back to me now!Oh that's true, the stats!!! It was such a mess starting out, wasn't it? And everything had spirit on it, so that had to be a good stat, you know?
The stats...well, when I started a druid friend who no longer plays bought me some "starter" gear...I can only assume she didn't know squat about a hunter, though her intentions were good. Um. And so, with her being a lvl 80 and all, I assumed she was the authority on everything. So, until I started doing some reading about the game, I tried to find things with the same stats. Intellect, spirit and strength. This went on until at about lvl 30.
But still guilty of "pretty gear" to a degree, on lower level toons, especially after I discovered the dressing room...I mean, those shoulders are just SO last year! lol
Oh, and one more thing...oh, god, this is embarrassing. So, after I figured out how to kill things, I noticed they had this shiny stuff floating over them, which I thought was weird and this icon that looked kinda like a fig or something if I moused over them. I didn't know what to make of it and the only person around (I kept trying to talk to NPCs too. I didn't know how to tell what was a player) once I figured out how to talk just laughed at me when I asked what that was. Finally my husband asked why I wasn't looting anything...looting? What? I guess I should have read the little book thing that came with the game.
