As well as feigning, you might also want to try a slightly lower powered weapon or rotation than what you customarily use when you know you're going to be doing that, in order to keep your aggro under control.Mirshalakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223199207262646414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919580774502817620.post-82321920119883154782007-08-21T22:25:00.000-07:002007-08-21T22:25:00.000-07:00Thanks for the welcome.Sadly, I didn't really lear...Thanks for the welcome.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, I didn't really learn about doing instances right until 70 and my CC learning was on the fly by fire and whatnot. The upside is a really know where I can (and cannot) CC. Shattered Halls just can't be Hunter-CC'd in some places (the mobs will enrage or whatever their way out of the trap). But, Wyvern sting is a nice instant CC (and I haven't done SH since I've become Survival). In Mech on the run to the last boss it's really nice to do something like mage CC one mob, sting sleep one and freeze trap a 3rd. Still working on pulling that off reliably :)Tom Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187446098003499375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919580774502817620.post-64342603460189261762007-08-21T21:40:00.000-07:002007-08-21T21:40:00.000-07:00Welcome, Tom! :)As well as the trap talents, be su...Welcome, Tom! :)<BR/>As well as the trap talents, be sure to check out Wyvern Sting as well. If you get that, in order to learn more about CC, try soloing the early trash mobs in BRD.<BR/><BR/>They're there in groups of three. If you drop a freeze trap, target the middle mob with Wyvern Sting, and set your pet on the third after the second is frozen, you can quickly kill the third mob, retrap the second after the freeze wears off, and quickly kill the first with the aid of Wyvern's DOT.Mirshalakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223199207262646414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919580774502817620.post-3301683851962139122007-08-21T19:47:00.000-07:002007-08-21T19:47:00.000-07:00Good point.

And after a bit I've gotten the hang of it (under BM spec). I'm really looking forward to respeccing again (now that I've got more of an idea what I can get out of the tree) and not needing to throw on a 2nd piece of Dungeon Set 3 when I have to (happily!) trap for Moroes or being instance CC.Tom Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187446098003499375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919580774502817620.post-88378198670372195192007-08-21T08:17:00.000-07:002007-08-21T08:17:00.000-07:00Nice 70 spec, but I recommend trying Readiness.Rea...<I>Nice 70 spec, but I recommend trying Readiness.</I><BR/><BR/>Readiness can be good; the downside is having to get Master Tac, which is only really worth it proc wise if you've got a faster weapon than what I anywayz normally want as far as shot rotation is concerned. Resourcefulness is also very skippable if you're not doing heavy trapping. Same with Hawk Eye...the only real reason why I get that is because you need ten points in the first two levels to get the third, and I find it a bit more useful than monster slaying myself...but that's very much an opinion thing.Mirshalakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223199207262646414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919580774502817620.post-47287112209948223442007-08-21T07:44:00.000-07:002007-08-21T07:44:00.000-07:00Damn armory is not up to date:Level 68Damn armory is not up to date:<BR/><A HREF="http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=VZVxbRcZIMhMxcMhVzAo" REL="nofollow">Level 68</A>Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419441414045755394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919580774502817620.post-40930046241735191702007-08-21T07:37:00.000-07:002007-08-21T07:37:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419441414045755394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919580774502817620.post-62236685888429591552007-08-21T07:29:00.000-07:002007-08-21T07:29:00.000-07:00Nice 70 spec, but I recommend trying Readiness.

I have a decent amount of Intelligence, and although having that extra range is nice other things are nicer for me. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Brandstone (Burning Legion)Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419441414045755394noreply@blogger.com
