This week we wrap up our "So you want to be a hunter" leveling series as we look at Levels 71-80 and see what makes up the best class in the game. So join me, Eddie Carrington, Brigwyn from The Hunting Lodge blog and podcast, as we explore what's in store for us hunters.
Hey gang! Welcome to the last installment of the "So you want to be a hunter" leveling series. It's been a long and windy path through grassy plains, sweltering tropics, and fractured planets to finally end up in the frozen wastes of Northrend as we prepare to face the Lich King and hope to get a flying horse when PTR Patch 3.3 is dropped.
As we do every week, we'll review the skills you'll learn. Suggest talent builds for both you and your pet. And help you with finding some solid gear choices by recommending some of the Northrend 5-man instances to run through. And what trek through new territory and levels would be complete without identifying rare tamable beasts along the way?
If you've missed a previous edition, I've outlined below what we have covered in the 7 previous installations of this leveling series.
Part 1: We reviewed each race and how their racial bonuses and abilities could affect your how you might play your hunter.
Part 2: We quickly talked about the first nine levels. Then we started a review of each talent tree: Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, and Survival.
Part 3: We discussed what happened from levels 10 through 20. We also went over the quests to learn how to tame your first pet and mount.
Part 4: We covered some of the covered attacks, buffs and spells. We also began looking at how to teach your pet new skills by applying pet talents.
Part 5: We covered levels 21 through 40. We ended up with you getting your epic riding mount and you now can wear mail. From now on completing quests and gaining levels will be much faster.
Part 6: Is where we started to see that we were learning more new ranks than new spells as we leveled from 41 to 60. We ended our time in Outlands with our first flying mount.
Part 7: We started at level 61 in Outlands and ended in Northrend at level 70.
As you can see we've covered a lot of ground and we have 10 levels left to go. This week we'll tackle our last 10 levels as we go from 70 to 80.
