      I solo'd as hunter at 68 he waisted my pet and chased me for nearly 30 mins all over Nagrand. I  Attracted quite a crowd (who were waving goodbye and laughing also, they had little faith.They could of helped <moan moan>)

      Was a great moment in my Hunting solo adventures.

      Get him on the road avoid patrols, not easy!

      I never knew about the gun reward and was using a Gunblade so a nice little suprise for me.

    Entire quest line is pretty easy for a hunter.  The killing 30 each of mobs was kind of tedious but tracking helps out.  The elite clefthoof is soloable, easy to kite with cheetah.  I grouped up for the talbuk and the bird, didn't seem to be any easy way to kite them, immune to slowing effects I think.  They were too fast to just use cheetah on.  The last mob, Tusker is also kiteable.

    If you want to do Tusker really easily alliance side kite her into the nearby town and the guards will kill her almost immeadiately.

        You can loot it if you kite it.  First time I did it I had to kite after it killed my cat and the shadow priest I was with.  If I had known it was so slow I would have kited it from the beginning and saved myself the pet food.  ;)

          Actually, agility increases your crit chance and your attack power, which is how it increases your ranged damage.  I was worried when I hit outland and I was getting +crit and +attack power everything, and was losing agility on gear, but +crit combined with +attack power is the same as agility, and often times in Outland, you get more crit and attack power separate than agility would provide were it the stat on your weapon.  The only thing that you lose by not having agility on a weapon as opposed to +crit and +AP is the small armor bonus that you get from agility, but most of the time the armor upgrades are worth losing 4 armor or something piddly like that.

          Hope I didn't lose anyone, sure made sense when I was thinking it : )

          for hunters, agi increases crit rating by some, and 1 AP for each point in agi... so, if yo go purely for ap, you don't crit much, but go for agi, and you get several crits per fight and a decent white dmg.

          if you've come this far as to get this gun, you really should know this by now ^^

          Ya thats about normal. Since blizz's nerfing of hunters (1 agi=1 rap as oppose to 1 agi=2 rap) a combination of crit rating and ap will do better in giving you the same bonuses as a high agi.

              They took the lobster out of the tank. 

              Instead of cooking and serving it to me, they shipped it halfway across the country.  It was then killed, and all the premium meat was taken and sent to restaurants that actually care about selling good food.

              The byproducts were ground up, and mixed with the byproducts of a thousand other lobsters.  This pureed lobster byproduct  was then shaped into "nuggets", frozen, and sent to a warehouse on the other side of the country.

              After their supply chain shipped it back to the restaurant, it was then thawed, dipped in boiling fat and served to me alongside a diluted pop and something vaguely resembling potatoes.

      i did the 30 kill quests alone as a 64 bm hunter (easy, just boring).

      for the elite quests, i tried kiting...but failed miserably.  every single one of the elites has an intercept/charge ability that screws you (since you have AotCheetah on).  i don't have the +6 yard range from the survival tree, so maybe that played a factor.

      anyways, i grouped up with a 67 shammy and a 70 paladin...the rest was cake.  the gun is a nice upgrade from the green crossbow i got in hellfire peninsula.  >:D

      really boring working up through the 180 kills you have to do to get to the elites, easy enough alone though since the first 3 parts are yellows, the next ones you just have to avoid getting 3 or 4 on you at once. Grouped up for the elites since i didnt really wanna kite & failed miserably on tusker just having 2 people, 64 hunter (me) and a 65 druid. Only problem was my pet wasn't aggroing like she should and he immidiately went for the healer, ah well, get another one on & try, try again

      This is a very powerful weapon for such a relatively simple quest; two or three people can power through the entire Hemet quest chain in a few hours, or hunt the 3 final wussy elites and Tusker in 15 minutes.

      Powerful enough for me to switch over from bows and spend some time at the Dark Portal pewpewing the 70 elites for gun skill.  I was doing almost the same amount of damage with level 40 ammo and this gun as I was with the crossbow from the group quest in Hellfire and Blackflight Arrows.

      True, although hardly a constructive answer.

      Kiting is aggroing a mob and then running away from them, having them chase you. You run away in front of it, having the mob trail you like a kite on a string. Keeping aggro is paramount, of course, or the mob will simply leave combat after a while and run back to its original spot, meaning your kiting wil have failed. This is where the famous jump-shooting comes in. And no, I cba to exlpain THAT, too. :p

        my old gun was the level 60 pvp epic with a +7 scope on it.  then i got hemet's elekk gun which has a few more dps points in the item description and... surprise, surprise... after equipping it and reading my ranged attack stat, without a scope the dps of the elekk gun is EXACTLY THE SAME (to the 1/100th of a dps point) as my old gun that has the +7 scope.  not joking, absolutely serious.  need to put a scope on the elekk gun for it to really be any better at all, aside from the slight increase in crit percentage.

        also: the alliance has it so easy in nagrand, when it comes to solo kiting the final parts of the nesingwary quest chain.  bach'lor, banthar and tusker are so close to the alliance camp (telaar), any newbie with attention deficit disorder could kite the elites to that camp.  try kiting tusker through halaa and all the way across the zone to the horde camp (garadar)!  i never want to hear anyone complain ever again about flippin' level 14 defias pillagers being so unfair to alliance players... things like that are completely trivial compared to the scandalous tusker-kiting imbalance.

        Completed this quest last night (lvl 68 MM Hunter) and I wanted to know if I should ditch http://thottbot.com/i18835 , High Warlord's Recurve for it. I love the speed with Recure (1.8), but I find it's lacking a little firepower (80 - 121 Damage). I am a Troll, so the extra Bow specialization is good, but I have not found a better bow than this one. Should I use Elekk Gun instead?
