Things Young Hunters Apparently Need to Know

I ran a pug with my baby!druid, who is normally a kitty but can pretend to be a bear well enough to tank lower level instances.  In my first ever pug as a bear, I ended up in a group with two lovely huntards and came away from that with some handy tips, because apparently, people don’t know these things…

1) TURN GROWL OFF.
2) Aspect of the Pack causes people to be dazed when hit.  Your tank hates this.  Turn it the fuck off.
3) TURN GROWL OFF.
4) After level 40, you should start switching to mail.  At level 48, taking leather from the druid makes you something of a jerkface.  Leaving the group when you’re questioned about it makes you a definite jerkface.
5) TURN GROWL OFF.
6) Don’t talk about licking someones balls in party chat.  No really.  Don’t.  (Yes, this happened)

Instance Notes: Krick & Ick

I ran through all of the new heroics over the weekend, and only Krick and Ick gave me any pause as a BM hunter.  His poison nova WILL kill your pet if you don’t make your pet follow you out (ala Aran).   And of course your pet WILL stand in green shit, making this one of the few times in recent memory where I’ve cursed the lack of a point in imp mend pet.

That said, if you hit mend pet a few times and always remember to yank your pet out for poison nova, it’s doable.  Keep an eye on your pet for the trash pulls until the gauntlet, as well-that disease is obnoxious if it hits them.
