WTB Shoulders and Legs of the Blue rarity

So FTP is at 26, trying to get my last bit of armor upgrades before I make the final push to 29.

I want:

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7727 Watchman's Pauldrons

None on AH. I used Halk to do a full clear of SM, no blue drops except the BOP from the bosses.

Apparently the of the Eagle pants I had attahed clefthide armor kit to disappeared, probably vendored them on accident. /flails

I need to beg someone to run me through the Raptor Mastery quests in STV to get the chest from the end.

I am not going to go all out on the enchants, probably stam on the shield and the other areas I can get them. (i have plenty mats for level 35+ enchants) speed on my boots and some more strength.

I have used, mostly, the equipment I had for my time at 19. A few quest rewards were upgrades or really good deals on stuff in the 20's. I'll probably keep my gear through mid 30's and will start to upgrade into mail. I may not stop at 39 but press to 49 to gather more honor and marks.

My new character's name is.....

Forthepie.....

Yeah...original no?

Pay no attention to the FTP pally on Drenden, ok..that's me too, but the FTP you should see is on the QD. Quel'Dorei...armpit (supposedly) of WOW servers.

I made 19th last night during a run through Wailing Caverns and after a run through SFK by a guildie.

Decent gear, need my enchants, which I am going to get today. My plan is to spend a few weeks gathering some honor and marks, then when I have enough to get the 28 level WSG gear, move on to 29. Once there, I'll gather enough marks and honor for the 39 gear in both WSG and AB and then move up. Apparently 49 seems to be where most folks think Shamans rule the world so I think I'll try it out as well. At this point I may try to gather enough honor and marks in WSG and AB to get everything I might need at 70, except for the gear that needs AV and EOTS marks.

Of course I may get so frustrated in the BGs and may just level up.

-----
Some observations of Shamans:

1) The more I play other classes the more I realize how jacked up the hunter combat system is.

2) I need to retrain myself to get away from keyboard turning. It works in PvE, don't let anyone tell you different. It doesn't work in PvP and as a melee person now, it won't work even worse.

3) I forget to drop totems. all. the. time.

4) Not having a pet hurts...must learn a different playstyle. I am learning how many adds I can take and how to best wear them down.

5) Shamans are cool. Seriously, they are a fun class to play. Not quite as sturdy as a pally (OMG it takes a ton to kill one of those) easier to solo than a pally (hello no range pull) and I like mana over rage.

6) I die a lot. A. LOT. Why? Because I don't stop to drink/heal/buff between pulls. As a hunter, there wasn't much need. With pallies and shaman, there is.

5/6 SSC and 2 T5 for this here hunter

Okay so tonight we had another raid night. Leo two shotted. Fathom Lord downed (that pull sucks btw) and then on to Lady V. That fight is going to take some time as it's about timing etc. Leo gave up his T5 glove token. Woot for me!

Oh and look!

Yes, I caught Mr. Pinchy on Saturday. My first time was the weaksauce Furious Mr. Pinchy. Second time was the pet.

2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Well wasn't our best raid night, but we got bosses down and got good loot. I got my T4 Chest and my T5 Shoulders.

How do I look?

After jacking up the gemming of said pieces and spending way too much in gems to fix my mistake, here's my setup:

Wish List: Raids and such

Time for a wish list I have.

At least 2 pieces of T5 as quick as I can get them. That T5 bonus for pets is just too nice to pass up. T5 is within reach for us and of course the guild had to shard two of the shoulders last week when I missed. Tonight is Gruul's, Maggy and TK for Void Reaver and Solarian. Here's my wish list from NEED to upgrade slots.

Chest Maggy just needs to drop this token tonight and I need to win the roll, if there is one. My normal raid chest is Haha for some hit rating and to activate my meta gem. Other than that I am running the S1 Chest (boo!)

Shoulders Currently using the Beastmaw or the S1 shoulders (S3 is not something I can ever get with my skills in Arenas. I know there are some nice shoulders in ZA and that is a raid we are doing on a regular basis for some upgrades etc.

Feet Okay here's where the stars have to align and no shamans want this item. It's in some cases a sidegrade to Shadowhunter but I would like the ability to gem these as I swap armor in and out. I won't cry if I don't get them, because I think they would be a nice option for me. My other boots are the PvP boots. To be honest the Vindicators may also be an upgrade to the Shadowhunters, armor ignore is still a hard concept for me to understand.

I need a new helm, T4 helm is okay, my PvP helm is from HKM

I am saving badges for a crossbow and a new stat stick plus a nice ring (although I need to adjust my hit to replace one of my rings)

May the loot gods be good to me tonight!

Badges?? We don't need no stinkin' Badges...

Oh but yes we do.

Kara badge runs net us around 22 badges per week (depending on if we have someone who can summon the big ugly fire dragon who hates me or my pet...or both)

25 man raids now drop badges. 8 last night alone from the raid boss smack down. Do you smell what the hunter is cooking? /hunter's eyebrow

So I am looking over the 2.4 badge loots. Oh some very tasty stuff in there. If you aren't a hunter. If you are, you are probably drooling over the crossbow (linked below) or possibly some of the armor pieces.

So all you tons of hunters who read my blog, yeah that's it, what gear are you looking forward to picking up? Okay you other class folks have permission to add your comments too. ;)
