For my third level 100 i decided to transfer my Hunter over to Stormrage. I also decided to change it up a bit so i went from Blood Elf female to Human male. I had no real reason for doing so other than it just feeling right at the time. Blizzard sure knows how to milk me out of my money with the ridiculous cost of all my transfers and faction changes. First world problems i suppose.

World of Warcraft Hunter


The aspect i was looking forward to the most upon reaching cap was the Lone Wolf talent. I've always been a fan of bow classes but have always hating anything having to do with pets. I essentially turned my hunter into an archer and i couldn't be happier. No longer do i have to deal with pathing issues or random trains created if i forget to dismiss my pet before jumping off ledges. While i still use a pet for soloing purposes, it's glorious not having to bother with one in instances or raids. Sorry fellas, you've been stabled for a while.


Goodbye Orc and hello Dwarf. My transition from Horde to Alliance continued next with my Shaman. I'm not normally one for small races but, out of all the options that could play Shaman, this was by far my favorite. I'd be lying if i said it didn't have a little to do with the recent Hobbit films, but Dwarves have certainly grown on me. No pun intended there. Maybe. I may be small but i pack a wallop.

Dwarf Enhancement Shaman

Shortly after making the switch, i managed to also finish off my transmog set. I swear i'm not intentionally making size jokes. I've been after this damn helm from Ulduar for five and a half months now. That coupled with the axes that dropped off of Twins from Highmaul completed my set. I may mess around and swap some illusions in and out on my weapons but i'm currently loving the two i'm using. Here's the breakdown.

Dwarf Enhancement Shaman


When my first Highmaul follower mission popped up in my garrison, i was super excited. Finally i could send my gang out on meaningful missions with pretty awesome rewards. My excitement quickly subsided when i realized that my mission required counters from a follower i had not geared up yet. That one annoying bugger i really didn't care for or had any interest in gearing of course had the counter i needed. The best i could do with what i had at the time had a 53% chance of success. What a bummer.

Highmaul Follower Mission

Thanks to a neat garrison addon that told me how long the mission would be available to me, i started gearing up the follower i needed to counter some of these baddies. I must have spent the next week doing nothing but mission after mission for armor and weapon upgrades, as well as salvage crates. By the end of the week, i still had lots of time to complete the mission but little reason to wait any longer. My completion chance capped out at 82% with all my followers and traits available.

I went for it not expecting much. After reading countless forum posts on this subject with players failing 90%+ missions, i expected to fail. I understood well enough that anything under 100% had a chance to fail but there was a genuine feeling that anything under 100% would do so for these specific missions. A sort of hidden r.n.g. factor if you will. Good to see this wasn't the case.

Highmaul Follower Mission


I was fairly pleased when my mission was a success. Once again i fell prey to the r.n.g. gods and only when i stopped caring and expecting a good outcome, did one occur. I got a nice heroic ring out of the deal which bumped my ilvl a decent amount. I'm hoping to do a better job of gearing up my followers for when another one of these missions pups up. I'm quite sure the next one that does will require another follower with traits that i don't have.
