You Wont Want To Wear Leather Anymore

You wont want to wear leather anymore.  You'll strive for all mail because your class likes it like that.  I'm glad they put down the stick and handed out a carrot.

Cata Talents

I was playing with the new Cataclysm hunter talents. They are starting to take shape.  SV is very expensive.  Their 5th and 6th tier talents need to have their ranks reduced.  There just aren't enough points compared with the other two trees.  Admittedly MM is a bit light, but BM looks right on and it's considerably less than SV.

Secret?

Secret?  I didn't catch the WHU podcast live.  (House repair, pool, BBQ, and then True Blood was my Sunday line up.)  Looks like the linked image was made on Saturday.

Hunter Blog Roundup

Cataclysm changes abound.  The talent trees were announced and a few other cool things.  Here's a quick round up.

• Darkbrew talks a bit about the datamined starter spells for each talent tree (see also at worldofraids.com).
• Mania has info on the pet stable slots, including some screenshots.
• Rilgon is disappointed but not surprised by the fail of the MM talent tree. 
• and finally, MMO Champion has a the current unpolished Cataclysm talent calculator.

Multi-tracking

MMO Champion has a brief mention which has me quite intrigued. It reads, "Last but not least, the Minimap now allow you to track multiple things at once! Hurray!"

As someone with mining as a lame-ass skill (Yeah, OMG, he has mining as a skill?!?)  This change is a godsend if I can use it and track DPS targets at the same time.  Generally these days, I don't use mining for anything.  I'm waiting to see how buff other trade skills will be in the expansion.
