World's Fast Crab!
Tomorrow at 9am (Pacific Time), my subscription to World of Warcraft ends. This means this is the finally farewell from BigRedCrab for now. Of course I’m so excited for Wrath of the Lich King that when it comes out, I’m renewing my subscription. When that time comes, I will be more than happy to begin blogging once more.
But wait? Didn’t I give my farewells in the last post? Yes I did. Why then am I putting out another post? Have you checked out the picture at the beginning of this post? Look carefully at Stra’s Attack Speed.
This is not a doctored screenshot (other than the cropping) and this was taken in an official World of Wacraft live server. In other words this is not fake, it’s the real deal.
How did I manage to do such a thing? I will tell… when BigRedCrab comes back! Until then, I will leave that up to you to figure out.
(Just in case people were wondering, of the time of the screenshot, Stra was Content (not Happy) so her Damage and DPS are lower than it should be. Being Happy, her Damage would have been 155-188 which would have brought her DPS at about 417 damage per second.)
Aidem's Subscription has been cancelled
If you haven’t noticed, I haven’t posted anything on the blog lately. With the sudden surge of WotLK data, you’d think I’d be posting my opinions left and right. Unfortunately, I have some bad news (and some good news):
First off, I’d like to welcome everyone who has just arrived from Mania’s Arcania. I already knew that BigRedCrab was on Mania’s blogroll (which from my stats brought in a few visitors), but I wasn’t expecting to be presented on the Coummity Round-Up. Anyways, again I’d like to welcome everyone. BigRedCrab is still fairly new (this only being the 7th post) but hopefully as time goes on, I’ll have a nice collect of topics.
For those who were wondering about the Claw Experiment, I just want to clarify that I know it’s basic common sense to train Claw if it’s the only ability available to the pet. The purpose of the experiment is not to sway hunters to train Claw, but to get people a “wake up call” on how much a pet’s DPS is increased with Claw. Most people, such as I, just train and auto-cast Claw and forget about it. So how much increase does you pet’s DPS receive with Claw? 33% It was most definitely a wake up call for me.
Just added a new page to the blog called “FAQ”. It has plenty of questions about Stra. If you are interesting in asking more questions, feel free to comment to this blog entry or on the “FAQ” page. I’d love to answer more questions about Stra, or even anything concerning the hunter class in general.
Please enjoy the following questions I get asked a lot:
Q: Why tame a crab?
A: Why not? In all purpose, I wanted to tame one of the rarest tamed pets available. At first, I wanted to tame a Sporebat, but the lowest one available was at level 60. I wanted a rare pet that I could tame at a very earlier level. Upon browsing through Petopia, I saw the crabs. Crabs are rare and appear weak (I mean come on, they’re crabs). Being an Alliance character, I decided to go with the red crab since most of them can be found in Durator.
Q: What exact crab did you tame?
A: The level 8 Surf Crawler. The highest level red crab before level 10.
Welcome to BigRedCrab!
I’d like to take this time to welcome you to this blog. Although not everything is set in place just yet, I encourage everyone to take a look around. If you any suggestions for this blog, please leave a comment to this post.
My name is Aidem of US Spinebreaker. I’m a level 70 dwarf hunter of the Alliance. My long time companion is Stra. I’ve had Stra every since we were level 10. In fact, I cross all of Azeroth just to tame her. What kind of pet is Stra? If you couldn’t guess it before, she’s a big red crab.
