Okay, that's a lie, but my main is green, does that count? :P <BR/><BR/>Anyway, you're right about the health deficit, though if you have a healer behind you--particularly a priest--I'd recommend maybe having them continually rebuff with PW:Fort after just before each fight; it's much cheaper than scrolls, provided they're using the single target versions which have no reagent. Also, if you happen to be with a resto shaman or druid, remember that Earth Shield and most of the druid HoT spells--as well as Renew and Prayer of Mending form a priest--all count towards <I>your</I> threat and not theirs. ;) More free threat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90220162047865849.post-72202969449947087472008-03-18T23:26:00.000-05:002008-03-18T23:26:00.000-05:00It's not that Improved Mend Pet generates more thr...It's not that Improved Mend Pet generates more threat, it's that it costs less mana. My investment into that talent would be based on the mana expense of keeping Mend Pet up whenever my pet has a health deficit. <BR/><BR/>For example, if I decided to hit my pet with a fortitude scroll before every fight to artificially create a health deficit, then removed the buff at the end of the fight, I could reliably create a health deficit to heal every single fight. (That's an expensive way to do it, but less risky than causing him to take damage and possibly die.)<BR/><BR/>As far as posting anonymously, I certainly understand your desire for privacy. I can count the number of WoW players that know my real name on one hand. Gweryc may be (in-)famous, but I, as his player, like to keep a lower profile. If you're going to contribute tips like those to the project, I don't care if you're a Martian!Gwerychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16343002044642471353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90220162047865849.post-17612192466067943152008-03-18T20:48:00.000-05:002008-03-18T20:48:00.000-05:00Hehe, I'm flattered that I earned an entire post a...Hehe, I'm flattered that I earned an entire post all to myself! I'm sorry that I continue to post anonymously, but let's just say that I'm shy. ;) <BR/><BR/>In case you hadn't guessed, I have a 70 hunter as well--though not a melee based hunter like yourself. She's fun and I love her, but I also love every aspect of this game. My main is a 70 rogue, so I tend to focus a lot on Hit Rating and Expertise--which is why I know a lot about it. I also have played 2 different 70 warriors--both to tank, incidentally--so I've become very familiar with tanking mechanics. <BR/><BR/>In regards to the Improved Mend Pet comment, I don't really know that you're going to get a lot out of it. The Improved <I>effect</I> is that you reduce the mana cost and have a chance per tick to remove a status ailment; it doesn't actually heal anything more. <BR/><BR/>The Fel Mana Potion trick wasn't my idea, sadly; the hunters in my guild have been using them to completely hack their way to the top of the DPS meters for almost a year! <BR/><BR/>Anonymously,<BR/><BR/>Anonymous =PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
