The Orc Hunter Engineer/Miner is now also level 30. And I'm still not bored, which quite an achievement, considering my short attention span and frequent restart-itis in RPGs.:)
In my insane zeal I managed to get Engineering to 210 at this level. But as a result this character has about 20% of the gold the Druid Skinner/Miner had. Got more toys than I know what to do with though. Since I'll need a mount at 40, from this point on it's just making money all the way. Further progress in the trade skill will have to wait.
Using a pure beast mastery spec. I had three points in Hawk Eye (+6 yards weapon range) in Survival, but respecced them out. I almost never engaged a target myself first. Rather my pet would always initiate combat in order to properly keep aggro. And I had to be within healing range of the pet anyway, so that extra range was constantly being wasted. On the rare occasions I need to pull something myself, the base 35 yards range is plenty. Perhaps I'll find out I'm very wrong on this issue as I go along, but so far that's my philosophy.:)
