Hello, internet people!
After weeks of saying I would get around to it eventually, I’ve finally started this thing. And thus, Survival Instincts is born. The focus of this blog will be World of Warcraft, specifically from the perspective of a survival hunter. (And possibly an enhancement shaman, if he decides to help out.) So, while I’ll talk about news and general information from World of Warcraft, it’ll all be focused on how it affects the Hunter class, and more specifically, Survivalists.
Who am I?
Well, I’m Sharokk obviously. Maybe a better question is who is Sharokk? Sharokk was an Ikky Death Knight in the original Everquest, and is now a level 25 Blood Elf Paladin. However, this blog is not about him, it’s just written by him. This blog is about Karokk, the level 70 Night Elf Hunter on the Kirin Tor US (RP) server. He was my first character in WoW, and still my only level 70 character. I raid casually (About one weekend a month in Karazhan.) I’ve seen all the bosses go down, aside from Netherspite, which my guild has downed, I was just not present for. I spend the majority of my time PvPing and Roleplaying. Before the Honor System Change, I reached Master Sergeant (While leveling.) I had planned to grind up the ladder once I hit 60, but I ended up not reaching 60 until the week before Burning Crusade Launched. I’m up to nearly 6000 Lifetime Honorable Kills, still hoping I’ll be able to earn a bigger title one day.
Why Survival?
I always try to set myself apart from other characters in-game, and when I first joined WoW, nobody specced survival. (Any of you hunters will know this.) However, as I leveled completely survival, I began to love the ability to run in and slice things up while I solo, (Not in instances people. Come on, now.) as well as kiting things around. After Burning Crusade, I was glad with the new changed, and leveled up to 69 as Survival, then decided to try Beast Mastery. A few months ago, I came back to survival, and am Currently playing 0/20/41, going for crits high and often. I had been 5/11/45 when I was just PvPing, but as I’m doing more Raiding now, I decided to switch up for marginally higher DPS.
Until Tomorrow, Internet Land!
