70 Hunter Gets New Crossbow from Arcatraz
Now that I'm actually PUGging with my Hunter and running some of the Outland instances, I'm getting some neat gear upgrades here and there and am probably pretty close to being able to properly hold my own in Heroics, and maybe even get into the early parts of a Karazhan raid.
One of the recent gear upgrades I got was that of a Crossbow that dropped in the Arcatraz, the [item]Emberhawk Crossbow[/item]. I've gotten a lot of nice compliments on it from others in my party, she's a pretty snazzy looking bow.
I'm a bow-user, myself. Having started out with a bow, I didn't realize that I was a bow-user until I played with a Tauren or two in my dungeon groups and realized just how insanely loud the guns were compared to the bows or the crossbows. I've tried to use guns myself when they've been higher DPS than my bow, but I inevitably find my way back to a bow as quickly as possible just to avoid the noise.
Heck, when I'm partying with friends who use Guns over Bows, I find myself strafing and relocating where I do my DPS or heals from just so I don't have to stand there right beside all that noise.
Gearing Up Without Focus
This toon is doing pretty well for gearing up without really even worrying about what dungeons and bosses I'm "supposed" to be hitting - the upgrades have slowed significantly, but I still run into cool upgrades that I didn't even know were there, enough that my random attempts at daily dungeon quests or keying stages are fun and progressing well.
I even got my [item]Beast Lord Leggings[/item] the other day, replacing one of my last bits of Leather gear that I had around due to the better stats.
Too bad my PvP/Gladiator shoulders and gloves are so bulky and, like, sooooo don't go with the rest of my outfit...

I didn't find arc very tough at all. I plan on getting my buddy a 70 hunter with nessingwary's gun from Nagrand in there to try at this bow. Right now I'm egging him on to keep grinding honor so he can get his pvp bow (which is really friggin cool).
I find warlocks tend to have a simpler role than hunters, as we have no innate CC (other than fear, which has big drawbacks), and our damage is more sustaining instead of spiking. So I will be interested to find out just HOW hard instances are with my mage/pally/priest when I get them up to instance levels (all in teens now)
