hunting, going to work, then hunting some more

I have had a testing week at work, with my rigging skills put under scrutiny, and a large, very blue set to make look as spiffing as possible. In some of my quiet moments, when the talk hasn't been the usual stage mix of taxes, the many times people have hurt themselves, or how big a thing can you lift, I have been thinking a bit about my hunter.
Levelling Fearwings is really good fun after almost 2 solid years as a paladin, with a bag full of paladin tricks, which often feels like the same tricks as anyone else in PVP, cos we're all here aren't we Terry? (and very soon Tauren are going to nail us all to the walls in their holy plate) I’ve rolled Fear to do battle with the Horde, in all of its forms, and in order to see some more of the old world before Cataclysm comes out. I will be levelling a dwarf shaman at some point, post expansion, and It will be nice to compare and contrast, and soak up the lore, of which we can all agree, there is ridiculous amounts.
For some reason, Fear seems to attract vast amounts of attention in the BGs though. Maybe it’s because I tend to jump in and return the flags. I also like to use my hunter bag of tricks to find people to target, and send the pet after them. Flagdragon kills dudes on his own, defending the roof of the base in the Gulch. How galling must that be, not even managing to beat the pet on his own? The excitement of that is worth every 2shot rogue death going. Interestingly, there are rogues who can 2 shot you in every bracket. (Mine has just got to 18, so one of them is going to be me very soon). I prefer “2shot” to “globalled” which is a term people think is interchangeable in blogs at the minute. “Globalled” refers to being killed in the space of one global cooldown, you actually don’t get this problem much outside the top end pvp, I happily get to watch plenty of cooldowns go by whilst I am stunned by targets 3 and 4, unable to do anything in my levelling gear, and my pet away on target 1.

I am now at 63, so deep in the doldrums of not being hard enough to do BG’s, and facing the world of Outland quests. There is an unbelievable amount of things to do in Outland, and I still haven’t managed to get through one of the “Do 90 quests” there yet, and this is my third time through. I seem to be a few levels above a quest chain by the time I complete it, partly because it is easier to just quest out of one hub, not follow the chains from place to place in exclusivity.

My main cause for concern is that I have been in a queue for AV every time I log on, for the whole of my playtime since 55, but not once has a match started. I am looking forward to AV, and getting some badges, and capping a few towers and running about, but apparently this isn’t for people in their 50’s and 60’s. I guess people want to run WSG for the quicker return on their investment. An HK is an HK, and sentinel’s medallions and swift runner’s weapons are a thing of joy. Who wants to be stood in a draughty tower in some snowbound valley when they can be tucked up nice and warm in a cosy flagroom with your mates?
