Redefining the Impossible

WoW News issue 228


Maexyn

Maexyn got to level 46 in Feralas doing the dart spriter, naga and yeti quests. Not much to report execpt to say what fun it was in the dart spriter camp when I kept pressing the howl of terror button instead of shadow bolt. It has to be THE best way to agro a whole camp.

I haven't got into using Death Coil yet but I read a good tip: use the three second death coil window to cast a proper fear.

The yeti seemed to resist the Voidwalker's taunts and Maexyn got a lot of beating and had to eat/drink every ten mobs or so. I maybe could have switched to succubus but voidwalker is just the best warlock pet. It is nice to have Sacrifice available.

Maezyn

Maezyn did all the shatter point quests without dying, a first for me. I'm happy with my pulling, the boar makes it precise and Maezyn can burn things down pretty quickly.

Right now I would say I can't really tell much difference between a beastmaster and marksman hunter, they both get the job done. A beastmaster pet is probably a better tank but I don't seem to get into big (3-4 mob) fights as often these days, maybe because my pulling is better. I prefer silencing shot to the beast within.

Maesyn

Maesyn got to level 32 by killing things in southshore, not the easiest fights. However, at 32 she got two nice things:

Ravage
A nice opening move, have to use it from behind in stealth but it can take 20% of a mobs health in one hit. Almost worth messing around in stealth for.
Feroscious Bite
I've been waiting for something like this. An instant hit finishing move that uses up all combo points and energy but gives a big hit. This thing is one of the hardest hitting moves I've seen on all my characters and can take out a mob with 30% health left.

With better starting and finishing moves, Maesyn just got a lot more powerful.

You mention that "The yeti seemed to resist the Voidwalker's taunts". I know it is an obvious thing but have you kept up with Demon training and bought the Improved Taunt grimoires? Just a thought :o)

PS Couldn't send my email address with this as I get "The email address that you provided is not a valid format", but it IS correct. It is a hotmail address, does that matter?

Peter Says:

Well it is always possible that I haven't trained it up as Maexyn hearths in ironforge and the nearest demon trainer always seemed to be the one outside town in khoronos (sp?) and I can rarely be bothered to go there so I went to stormwind instead. While writing this I consulted wowwiki and it seems I should have been looking closer to the warlock trainer in the forlorn cavern.

However, the voidy has been holding agro since these events and I haven't trained it any further.

I will check the trainer out though.

Without knowing your email address I can't say what the problem is. The test may be rejecting capital letters.
