I'm a Hunter too, and have found the gun to be far more effective. I still get all the arrow moves, but in bullet form. I'll no doubt pick a crossbow up and see if it's any good, I've got to get the skill up after all, I paid for it!
Awesome game, bordering on Lisa Riley sexual.
Feels like a completely different world to somewhere like the Plaguelands or elsewhere.
WoW is amazing.
Managed to get down to Blackfatham last night with Kawada only to realise how incredibly bad it is - by far the worst bit of the game I have played so far, ended up abandoing one of the quests in the end through sheer boredom/annoyance and with no XP to boot it just seemed so incredibly pointless.
Pro Evo - managed to thief claw in the end, took a while to learn it but I managed to teach it to the other beat and abandon the Scorpid. I have Rank 4 for Claw and I am guessing the only way to get rank 5 is to tame a pet with rank 5 rather than being able to train it through a pet trainer? May be wrong on this but it looks like the way it works.
One quest off completely finishing Ashenvale, the Wetlands are finished so I am going to have to head somewhere completely different now, not sure where though...
The D&D nerd in me burns with shame at this...
Still, I bought the crossbow skill just in case anyway, along with 1 and 2 handed swords, both of which I have skilled up further than my standard axes.

Yes, there is a dice system. For when you loot a rare item in a group, whoever rolls highest wins. It's hardly geekier than anything else in the game.

I remember doing that quest, I also remeber trying to solo it thinking the Orc and Troll NPCs plus the other players would be enough of a distraction for me to get in, complete the objective and get out again. I didn't quite succeed.
I eventually got in a group and we spent about five minutes (or what seemed like five minutes) just killing as many centaurs as we could until the final warlord spwned. Difficult quest, but excellent all the same, pity there's not more like them.
