Introducing: Shagrat

Let's introduce my character, Shagrat. I can be found on the Turalyon-US realm and I have a link to my Armory Page for easy reference. I consider myself a hunter. I'm not a Beast Master, Marksman, or Survival hunter as we are all one class. I play all three specs of the class as I feel that limiting myself to one tree greatly narrows my scope towards the class in general. I started off as a Beast Master as most hunters do and stayed one all throughout my short Burning Crusade career and levelled to 80 as well. I even raided as Beast Mastery for a month or two with my previous guild, Warmongers, until my frustration of losing 40-50% of my DPS every time my pet bit it on Heigan. I decided to spec Marksman, which was around the time I changed guilds to Deicides. A couple of months of learning a completely new style of hunter and getting down the FSPR (four-shot priority rotation) I switched to survival. Survival is fun, but to me, it's not as enjoyable as Marksman or even Beast Mastery is. I'm starting to get the hang of it but once I do, I will be going to back to Marksman and Beast Mastery for my primary specs of choice.

What hunter would be complete without a full stable? I'm no exception and let me introduce my crew, going in no particular order.

SoulPuma, my spirit beast. This one is easily my favorite pet and it took a long time of circling the Basin until I gave up and just happened to come across it around midnight one night while flying to turn in a daily for the Oracles.

Buzzkill, my wasp. This is a permanent resident to my stables, as my guild hates how big it is, but I'm not going to get rid of her. She's the now untameable Sholazar Hive Queen.

Parker, my spider. Originally, I had tamed this one to be a PvP pet but I have come to a recent conclusion that I abhor PvP and I will only PvP now if there is a holiday achievement tied to it. I forsee Children's Week being the last time I will ever step foot into any type of PvP setting. Now, with the changes upcoming in the patch, I think I will raid with it for a bit. Having my own personal Mana Tide totem will be wonderful.

My as of yet unnamed warp stalker. I've always liked these pets. Again, with the pet changes upcoming in patch 3.1, I'm looking forward to finishing off some five man quests in Icecrown. As far as the name is concerned, I was shooting for something Protoss-y, but I've drawn a blank.

Finally, Placeholder my cat. The name should give away my feelings towards cats in general. I've been through a few pets for that last slot but I've had no luck in finding one that fits me.

I hope you enjoyed, or at least learned something, about my character from this brief bio. I can always be reached by email or ingame if you happen to have any questions. :)
