My Hunter and Me

Everybody & their mamas have an army of alts, while I have had only my beloved little dr00d to call my own for about 2 years now.  Recently, after sulkily watching Biggie run through Naxx twice with each of his level 80 toons, unable to join in because I was already saved, I decided The Time Has Come.  To Make An Alt.

At first I started a warlock because, well I dunno, it seems a lot of girls play warlocks so I sexistly and offensively had the sneaking thought that Hey! Maybe they’re easy to play!  Or they have some kind of particularly girl-friendly aspect to them!  But no, actually, they really don’t.  Or maybe they do, later on, but I shall never know because I abandoned it forever at level 6.

Hunter was my next choice and folks, I believe we have a winner.  I love being a hunter!  Or, I love being a hunter from level 1 through 10!  But I’m sure I’ll continue to love it still.  I love the shooting and the kiting and the having-a-petness of it all, it’s so awesome, I can’t believe I never tried rolling one earlier.

Are Herbalism & Alchemy weird profession choices for a hunter?  Hunters often go Skinning & Leatherworking don’t they?  The thing is, my druid already has maxed out Leatherworking and Enchanting, so I don’t want to do either of those again.  Skinning seems unlucrative, as leather is pretty cheap on my server.  Biggie said not to do Mining since he already has it on his paladin.  I figure Herbalism will save me some money since my druid spends a lot on Elixir mats, and if I’m going to do that I might as well go the whole way and pick up Alchemy as well.  If the only other options are Engineering, Blacksmithing, Tailoring, Jewelcrafting and Inscription, I think Herbalism and Alchemy look like my best bets, even if they are incongruous in a Hunter.
