The patch has arrived!...



....And now I don't know what to do, I am so overwhelmed. Patch 3.0.2 has finally hit; my guildies and I (that's our arena team above) have been waiting for this for a loong time, especially me being a hunter :) Everything is so different now, and I mean everything! Choosing a tree was easy, but choosing what pet I wanted was not, I had debated over that for a loong time and eventually settled on a choice. I went and tamed a fuzzy brown chimaera from Azshara and took him on out to Nagrand. My pet already is showing some personality. I have dubbed him the "cautious" attacker...he starts and stops and continues to do this until he is his range to shoot froststorm breath. *sighs* Takes him forever to get his act together, although the animation of the froststorm breath looks pretty nice I must say. I remember reading about chimaeras having the little start and stop thing going on way back in beta but I wasn't expecting it to still be around. But I am sure it will get fixed. Until then my exotic buddy will be in my stable.

I missed Aimed Shot so badly in battlegrounds that I specced back to be able to have it. Trying to down healers without Aimed Shot make me feel pretty useless as a hunter, I feel like I am shooting against a brick wall. So I'm pretty much the same hunter I was before the patch except once I hit 71 in a bit I will have an exotic waiting for me in the stables. My wolf is still my favorite pet and I don't think that will ever change. And now since pets have trees I feel that my wolf is even more powerful which makes him even more of a keeper in my book. I just feel more comfortable playing Escada with her trusty wolf at her side. And in this big time of change in the game at least one thing should stay the same for a bit right? No matter what Motomo will be the first pet to ding 80, he has definitely earned it. I almost miss the loyalty system and all of that stuff, now it just seems so easy..and now pets auto-level under you as well. I know I will come to like this as it will mean less work on my part..but it still seems odd to me right now. I am now looking forward to Wrath so I can can get back out there and level!
