Saturday I was goofing around not really doing much and decided to check my friends list to see who was on. Ooh, hey, check that out. Jorlex is on … and he’s in Molten Core! *whisper whisper* Not only does he have room, but he’s got a lock there who can summon. Win!
So I hopped over to Juna. Yeah, that’s right … Jor transferred over to the Dark Side awhile back, along with his girl Lanta. They were both there and it was totally awesome to get to hang out with them again. They had just downed Executus and were on the way to Rag, so I missed most of the place (and missed out on the Leaf boo) but I got the achievement AND got something even cooler.
I’d been contemplating going to Azuremyst to get the white core hound, but it’s such a distance to travel for a Hordie. The green ones are just .. well, put it this way, if I had tamed one of them, I would name it Snotball. The actual original Core Hound is the coolest, plus he matches my core hound pup. He still needs a name, though. Any suggestions?
We took a break for a little bit after that. I took that time to activate my as-yet-unused second spec and put in a group-oriented, DPS-focused talent setup. The first spec is chock full of soloing/questing stuff like Pathfinding (mounted speed increase) and Hunter vs. Wild (stamina increase). And also took some time to watch L80ETC practice in the Grim Guzzler. Then once Jor and Lanta were done with lunch, we went to ZG.
Hakkar’s mind control is always such fun. I love my ice trap … especially when I get to trap my friends in it. Hey Jor, feeling a little frozen there?
Good times. BTW, you see that lovely heroism debuff there? (bloodlust for Horde, yeah, sorry, I play mostly Alliance) You’ll notice that the party consists of paladin, priest, and hunter. No shamans to be found. Which brings us to the title of the post. Ancient Hysteria is the shiny new core hound-only special ability … which does exactly what herolust does and shares the same cooldown. Awesome, eh? 😀
Thanks again for dragging me along, it’s great to have friends on both sides of the server, and I have so much fun with you guys.
Oh yeah, Juna finished off Keymaster and Seeker over the weekend as well.

So wait.. that means beastcleeve is redundant now? Yay! Or if nothing else the corehound will be redundant. On second thought, if the corehound got HEROISM, what did the other pets get? 0_o I gota look into this.

Congrats again on even more achievements!!! Sounds like a fun weekend!

Grats! I picked up the same corehound and mine too is still missing a name. My first thought was to name him Bloodlust, however I figured it might create some confusion in raids.
Puppylust sounds horribly, horribly wrong.

Only one name for it. Gurgie.
November 17, 2010 at 12:35 pm
Haha! Done!! Tonight, he will be named Gurgie. 😀

Congrats! You are absolutely right. MC corehound > snotball and snowflake. It’s all about the fire drool. 😛 (If you look closely, the corehound is drooling perpetually.)

There’s just something right about ‘Gurgie’ and ‘drooling perpetually’ going together.
November 17, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Baskerville would be the for mine

“There’s just something right about ‘Gurgie’ and ‘drooling perpetually’ going together.”
Nice.
There is a reason I always blame him.
