WoW newbie looking for advice

[RTM]

OK, I know people are gonna hate me for this ... but alt-itis hits again. I just got bored out of my skull with the Hunter by level 36 (well, almost 37). All I did was cast Hunter's Mark, send in the pet and stand there firing auto-shot till the cows came home. Oh well I did hit Arcane shot once in an eternity. Well and a sting at the start of the fight. It became so ridiculously easy and boring that at level 36 I could solo level 41 creatures with very little trouble.
Combined with the guns (and all ranged weapons in general) getting slower and slower as the levels go by (from 1.7-1.8 speed to 2.5-3.0) I caught myself almost begging my character to fire the next shot already!
You must understand, if any of you guys remember Diablo 2, I come from being a huge Speedazon addict. And if you're familiar with Guild Wars, then you perhaps know of the Quick-shot Ranger. So ridiculously slow ranged weapons are almost physically painful to behold after those play styles.

So ... if some kind officer could add the Rogue named Anaesthetist ("Supernatural" didn't fit, unfortunately:D) to the guild, it would be greatly appreciated! I see people adding alts all the time, so I hope this isn't a major imposition.

And hey, maybe this one will get to 70. God knows I'm completely captivated by the game itself. Just got to find a character and play style that doesn't bore me after 30+ levels.

Haha, I usually get bored with hunters right around the same level you did. My current one is 46 though, and the prospect of taming a particular pet and learning the new hunter mechanics introduced by the expansion (and only available after level 60) has kept me more interested than usual. Rest assured that if you keep with it, hunters become a lot more complex at higher levels. The various haste effects you accumulate via talents & gear help with the speed thing also. There are fast bows available, but they chew through ammo and are actually end up being lower dps so most hunters shun them, and Blizzard has responded by making most bows slower. There is a neat synergy between a fast bow, lots of +crit, and the Go For the Throat talent though.

Anyway, yeah, play what you have fun with. It's a game so there's no sense in forcing yourself to endure pain. Also, rogues are very fun to play.:)
