Anyone else think Illidan's voice in the Well of Eternity sounds like Jack Sparrow? Couldn't unhear it...

**SamanosukeShiva** · 2011-12-05 17:18

Are there any tips on pet control? I'm sure there's something I'm missing here, but my Hunter pet would sometimes run back to me after killing a mob, and sometimes stay and continue attacking until the entire pull dies. I've tried toggling the pet behavior (e.g. assist, etc.) but I haven't noticed any real consistency.

The only thing I can think of is if I change my target before a mob dies, then maybe the pet will automatically switch to the new one? But if I multi-shot to 'tag' multiple mobs, then the pet won't go to the others?

You can use /pet attack to send it on your next target, but right clicking of using any ability is going to send back your pet immediatly. It should be enough to keep it in the action.

Yea, I have /pet attack hot-keyed already, but I can't always tell when its target dies or is about to die, so sometimes I don't notice until I see it running back to me. I was hoping that there was a setting where it'd just attack all mobs who have me on their hate list.

edit: got it thanks!

You can either attack another one before the first one die, or just multishot so you hit everything then do whatever normal rotation

Solution: Invest in Charge/Boar's Speed. You shouldnt be putting 2 talent points in Wild Hunt anyway

Don't forget that you only get D3 free if you've been a subscriber in good standing since October. Buying this deal and creating a new account won't get you D3 on its own.

This is correct.

Anyone play DW Frost DK? My sim numbers are showing 33k dps, yet im averaging maybe 23-26k on most fights in Dragon Soul so the RL said something last night. To me though it seems like just bad luck 1/2 the time because I follow the priority to the letter, but sometimes I can go do 4-5 frost strikes and never get a rune return due to Empowerment only being a 45% chance.

For first 3 bosses in DS I found that:

Movement/inactivity screws up DPS, fast. Hiding behind rocks on 1st, running away from the snooker ball in 2nd/3rd, and running away to DPS the slimes in 2nd/3rd
DPS needs to be "constant flow" for it to remain competitive up top, hence I found my DPS drops significantly if I'm not on the boss full time. Yet ranged seems less affected.

I suspect on 4th boss due to running around doing the ice blocks and lightning rods will have the same effect.

I can peak at 30k no prob, but as soon as something peels me away from the boss then it begins to fall, quick.

True enough, didn't think of itemlevels, thanks!

So far he looks more like some kind of hobo-version of Matrix's Mr. Smith to me, I should listen to the voice again.

**Spoony Bob** · 2011-12-08 10:49

Sounds like Liam O'Brien to me. War in darksiders and Kain in dissidia. http://m.imdb.com/name/nm1240448/filmotype/actor

Kinda nice as ranged, you can still shoot between 2 rocks without being hit by the black stuff.

Also about illidan, gotta love his random chat.

Attack. I don't like to be kept waiting.
Patience is not one of my virtues.
Waiting to attack.

If someone doesn't say it, he will, some people just pull way too slow ;/

First boss of DS on heroic is far better as a melee than a hunter (and really better as melee than any ranged that can't full DPS while moving, even with the black blood shit... Also everyone moves a lot on Yorsahj. On Zonozz I don't understand, all you have to do is rotate to the front of the boss, you still have full time on target, just add parry for like 10 seconds? Especially on heroic...tab dotters win, cleavers win (combat rogue go!), non tab dot ranged lose.
