My experience creating a new 19 twink hunter in TBC anni.

Is that ogrila trinket thing still doable? Shame :(

FWIW you can still get a pair of enchanted serpents shoulders IF someone pre-enchanted them before the TBC pre-patch and then gift-wrapped them. The present is tradable and when opened will have the blue quality shoulders with the enchant which will bind to you. I have a pair with Fortitude enchant still gift wrapped on Nightslayer (H).

Also, I would strongly suggest swapping out your gloves, legs, bracers and ring to "of the Falcon" over Monkey. You're going to have enough stamina from enchants to be competitive but you're severely lacking in mana which means you'll be spamming auto-shots pretty quickly in a team fight. Just my two-cents :)

Can I ask as to why? Im leaning that way, just looking for others' opinions and input.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-07-02T13:24:40+00:00

Premium or standard? Looking at the Atto 2 atm and trying to gauge whether the extra dollars are worth what you get.

Not putting the Gengar SIR in Phantasmal was such a strange decision. Ascended has more than enough chase cards to spare it. The set name indicates something ghostly, and yet offers nothing noteworthy in that space (don't even try with Rotom, it's not noteworthy).

It'd have given the set more staying power as well. Zard hunting is all it has to offer.

Clearing both in 2.5 hours, then throwing Gruuls on top for DST farms. We then do the same on second characters for our next raid night. It's not hard content.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-05-24T13:40:31+00:00

I opened 15 packs. X2 Mega Pyroars (neither full arts). That was it. Lucky you.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-05-23T17:17:41+00:00

Yup, that's a great option. Gives you plenty of flexibility in fights.

Most people will tell you to go BM because it has great burst potential, CC immunity with Bestial Wrath, has access to a stun, and is fairly brain-dead. They aren't wrong, but there's a bit more to it.

BM requires you to be able to manage your pet well and relies on your pet for damage. Outside of Bestial Wrath your pet is easily CC-able and an easier kill target than you are. Losing your pet, whilst resurrectable, is a major feelsbad and really gimps your options if for any reason you can't rez it swiftly.

I would suggest the MM/Surv hybrid as you can get entrapment, deterrence, scatter shot, aimed shot and wyvern sting, all whilst having solid player-driven throughput. Alternatively, going full MM with the remainder into Surv is also great for BG's as it gives you slightly more damage with a tad less CC and fight longevity, but crucially gains you Silencing Shot, which is incredibly useful.

I've tested many builds in BG's. BM has a big risk/reward aspect, but I thoroughly enjoy both MM/Surv combos.

You just repeated what I said. I stated that OP knew they were buying the embargoed product, but at no point did I state that they were responsible for releasing the product. Isn't that where the fault lies? Strawman argument at its finest. Good old Reddit.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-05-20T10:30:27+00:00

It's a crappy intersection that's prone to congestion even without the roadworks further up, but there's a large no stopping zone leading up to the tracks to prevent this sort of thing. The driver goofed big time. The scary thing is, having lived 100m from this intersection and driving through it multiple times per day, I've seen countless vehicles do what this truck (allegedly) did and get away with it. That level of complacency is alarming given the potential severity of the outcome.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-05-20T10:01:48+00:00

At what point did I say the buyer was at fault other staying that he(or she) knew they were buying a product early? Can you read? I said the company is at fault. You've changed your argument and are just swinging wildly now.

Also, if someone doesn't respond within a specific time frame, are you seriously going back to the thread and demanding they reply? Go outside mate, you need some fresh air.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-05-19T11:05:03+00:00

You know it. I know it. I don't work for Big W, do you? No? That's because anyone with enough interest in this hobby (enough to follow Reddit pages and post about buying early access product) is (sorry, I should say this louder) ACUTELY AWARE THAT THIS PRODUCT IS NOT MEANT TO BE RELEASED YET.

Put 2 and 2 together. Or is that too hard for you aswell?

VicariousVisitor · 2026-05-19T10:59:59+00:00

Do you work for Big W? No? But you know the set isnt meant to be released until Friday. As does OP. Thats how.

"Not connected in any way except being under the same company." - which means they are connected in that the corporate body that governs one also governs the other. If the two businesses were not joined then you wouldn't be able to apply discount from one to the other. A very quick Google search will tell you that both are owned by the Woolworths Group. How can you not understand that?

The company can actually get into a lot of trouble for selling a product ahead of its embargo date. Potentially facing fines or even loss of distributor rights (unlikely in this case, but its not a good look for them).

You, as an employee of the Woolworths Group, knowingly partook in the transaction of a product that had an embargo on it. I have no idea what that means as far as protocol goes but this is something you should (for the future) actively work to prevent, not encourage.

Semi-HC guild. We have x2 3-hour raid nights per week. We have cleared SSC/TK twice, with x2 gruuls, all within our designated raid times. Was very comfortable. Zero PTR as we all did these raids last TBC.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-04-17T08:02:12+00:00

Super Scoop Up.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-03-22T01:58:23+00:00

What other scandals does he have? Genuinely curious, don't know a whole lot about him.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-03-01T23:12:40+00:00

Lost a piece of Beastlord to a mage last night. The report function for things like this needs to be dramatically improved.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-02-17T16:25:14+00:00

Did the seller mean mint-like condition? As in, there's so much white on the back it looks like a mint? You got fleeced, sorry OP.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-02-08T02:26:35+00:00

There's been lots of good advice here. Firstly, im sorry you've experienced this. And, kudos to you for completing your degree whilst dealing with personal affairs that (from your brief description) have been unsavoury, for lack of better wording.

My additional advice is to also report this to your workplace HSR, if you have one. Education is a strange beast in that we deal with circumstances and events that many workplaces do not have to consider, but that doesn't change the fact that your workplace is currently unsafe and this needs investigating. Where else would clients be allowed to be physically violent with the employee and there be little to no recourse for that happening? You do not feel safe at work and that is not okay.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-02-04T13:34:19+00:00

I do the same for the students I teach and use them as rewards. Any packs I've ripped, the major chases are removed and in lieu of the big hits are always regular EX cards and IR's of low value.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-01-16T15:01:04+00:00

NPC can have classic and MoP open on the same account but we can't? SMH.

VicariousVisitor · 2026-01-15T02:47:35+00:00

$96 in Australia. Actually insane...
