Totally forgot that I could get a pet back from just speccing out of Lone Wolf. Oops!! Did that, and also kept Black Arrow and it's doing much better now. Also switched my pets spec to Tanking, instead of Cunning. Should be just fine from now on, however, the allure of 2 pets, and Thok as a pet, I think I'm still switching to BM. Should have thought this through a little more!MM hunter works fine with or without pet. If you aren't having joy with lone wolf drop it and keep black arrow. The black arrow pet will let you keep your real pet alive even when sniping elites. That's how I did it up on beta anyways. Trying lone wolf and sidewinders on live now, and it is going pretty well so far. BM pet is a lot stronger, though, and it is really really good for questing at 110.
That might potentially still get you there. With that being said I am assuming a bunch of people are just doing the absolute main quests and nothing else because I just finished Stormheim, 2 dungeons and what ever class quests have been available for me to do so far and I am about 30% away from 105, only having completed one zone. Plenty of xp to go around if you do the side areas and bonus areas (which you really should for the order resources).Thinking I'm going to need to go back and do quite a bit of side quests. Just Highmountain left and I just dinged 107.
Yea. I have just been doing the quest arcs for loremaster then running the dungeons. It is nice because I need the 4 dungeons for druid class hall quests too.There are so many little quests and shit, and Highmountain felt like that shit would never end. You will be fine there, pretty sure you could bang out 3 levels in that zone and if not oh well. The zones themselves look amazing and there are a ton of cool Easter eggs everywhere.
Still the biggest XP boost you get is from finishing up a zones story arc, they all lead you to a dungeon and a quest that's about 150k xp and ilvl 800 gear usable at any level. So I would recommend at least knocking out the main lines before moving on.

Lone Wolf is great, but without Frost Trap or Aspect of the Cheetah to kite, not having a pet can be a little difficult for questing. Its probably more useful in dungeons or raids where you have a tank and can just cut loose.
Anyone have a good guide or advice for saramar? I did the story line up to where you need honored to move forward but I'm 2k short. Is it just the world quests, the army training and finding withered to feed for rep or am I missing a quest hub somewhere?
I would sort of agree. Lone wolf is probably ideal for raiders but for soloing having a pet to buy even a couple shots of the guy not right up in your face is likely worth it. Pet plus black arrow should be enough for you to blow most solo stuff up without ever getting hit.
Nope that's it as far as I'm aware. There are one or two other quest hubs but they do not give Nightfallen rep, so you have to rely on farming it via World Quests/Emissary Quests.
On another note, the whistle you get is really a great thing. One of the huge pain of "no flying" is always getting back to the quest hub, and it makes it a non-issue.
Thanks! Thought I was losing my mind last night. I ran around looking for quests that awarded nightfallen rep and couldn't find anything. So I guess it's world's for rep then regular dungeons to get to ilvl 810 to do heroics? Also ive just been healing in shadow priest gear, can I do that in heroics or should I farm a few holy pieces for that? My main specs sp but I get insta ques healing.
