Scattered Shots: Dreaming of awesome ammo wow power leveling
Welcome to Scattered Shots, written by Frostheim of Warcraft Hunters Union and the Hunting Party Podcast. Each week Frostheim uses logic and science mixed with a few mugs of Dwarven Stout to look deep into the Hunter class. Currently hunter ammo is nothing more than an extension of our ranged weapon DPS. Perhaps our Stakethrower does 222.7 DPS in raw damage. Well, our Shatter Rounds just boost that by 91.5 DPS. So it's as if our gun was actually doing 314.2 DPS. It's certainly easy to understand, but it's just so... boring. Really, they could just boost the DPS of our ranged weapons and it'd be the same thing. But ever since Blizzard first told us they'd be removing consumable ammo we hunters have been dreaming of how awesome our ammo could be. It might burst into flame on impact, or cut through armor, or heal us, or heck, for all we know it would serve as a mount so we could fire gnomish rogues into the face of bosses! Join me after the cut for a discussion of the state of hunter ammo, and some speculation on just how awesome it could become.
Readers have been captivated by "Invincible," the sweeping wow power leveling new musical piece released by Blizzard
wow power leveling recalling the leitmotif of the Wrath of the Lich King trailer.
Kael: Oh man. I really didn't expect it, and this never happens, but that was actually very moving. I got choked up listening to that. It's incredible; I can't wait to listen to it again. That song is the pinnacle of video game
wow power leveling music in my book. Wow. Simply astonishing.
Frank: /agreed! I was surprised to find myself getting choked up, too, which is even more amazing because I have (of course) NO clue what they are singing or the context for the music. A piece of music worth an epic event, for sure. Behold the power of music! Hats off to all responsible for this one.
Killchrono: Leitmotifs are my favourite
wow power leveling musical convention, especially when used in media like games, movies or shows. You know a song has great power when it becomes synonymous with a character, an emotion or even an entire franchise. Think Darth Vader with the "Imperial March," or the main Star Wars theme.
I got shivers hearing the "Arthas, My Son" leitmotif in this song. It convinces me that this'll be the song that plays during the
wow power leveling epic finish, perhaps when Arthas takes his dying breath. It's so sad and moving that it's making me wonder whether Arthas feels the last tinge of humanity in his heart as he dies. Regardless, this song would be an amazing piece to see off one of Warcraft's most influential characters.
Brett: There were excerpts of this in the 3.3 trailer, when the ghosts appear around Arthas while Terenas is talking to him. Such a heartbreaking and evocative piece of music.
Naraxis: Wow, just wow. I have never heard anything that beautiful in my whole life, was absolutely amazing. Before, my motivation for getting to the Lich King to
wow power leveling kill him was so I could hack off a piece of his throne for Shadowmourne, but now my motivation for getting to him is to hear that song.
At our house, game soundtracks (including WoW) are a regular part of the mix of our daily music. While my son
wow power leveling sometimes queues up a more pumping rhythm when he PvPs, we otherwise all seem to prefer keeping our game sounds on so we can soak up the atmospherics. (Except for Molten Core, back in the day. I think I would have had a seizure listening to that for very long. /twitch) Do you ever listen to the WoW soundtrack or music outside of the game? Do you keep the sound on while you play?
No More Consumable Ammo
Consumable ammo is the devil's tool of death and dagracedimo destruction right here on this very planet. Hunters are the only class that actually has to pay for every attack we make (in addition to our repair costs). Back in vanilla it wasn't so bad. Ammo was fairly cheap -- though it did add up -- and we could expect to Feign Death out of the majority of wipes to save on repair bills. Alas nowadays we're wiping with the rest of the raid more often than not. So it was received with great glee when we were told consumable ammo would be removed back in Feb of '09. Originally this change was supposed to happen back in patch 3.1. But then we swiftly got the whoops, not just yet update. And every major patch since we hunters have been sitting on the edge of our seats waiting to see what our new ammo would look like, dreaming of what it would look like. Finally we gave up all hope and now don't expect to see it before patch 4.0, which should be the precursor patch a bit before Cataclysm launches.
