i DID search if this was a repost( i looked up hunter weapon skill ), please feel free to gimme a link if it is, at which point i will ask for it to be deleted but if no one gives me a link ( i could not find one ) i hope this helps
the main point of this thread is not that he still gives weapon skill but how to afk it with your pet tanking so u take no damage
as many of you may know Archmage Allistarj - NPC - World of Warcraft is a mob in the blasted lands that STILL gives weapon skill and will NOT die unless you have the quest.
what i have done to level ALL weapon skills to 400 is this.
Two peice tier 5 set bonus - causes your pet to be healed 15% of the damage you do. ( and believe me, if you leave your pet alone for as long as i do you will need some sort of heal )
or an alternative is the heals from pet talents, i dont have them in my pet specs so i use this
if you dont get it by now let me explain,
1/.turn growl on your pet
2/. send him to attack the target
3/. either range or melee him ( your choice depending on what your leveling )
4/. afk time
he does occasionally polymoprh but i either resist it or when its over i end up facing him again.. at least when i get back im always on him
if u stand in the back of the room you have no worries of aggroing other mobs.
and yes u could use doctor boom( for ranged ) but i leveled all skills at once, minus axes and bows, so i went here and checked back every so often to switch weapons
thanks for read hope it helps
