Nearly a month to the day, my toon is ready for the Outlands. I made it to about 58.5 last night questing with Alenko in the Western Plaguelands. Grouping for quest XP makes leveling a synch but causes hunters a unique problem. My pet is now 2 levels lower than I am. Nothing horrible. He can typically tank something 4 levels higher than he and maintain aggro. At 5 levels, he starts to get more growl resists. Combine this with lower damage output due to level difference and I typically have to feign death once per fight to wipe my threat rating. No huge concern but if he falls too far behind, he becomes useless. If he is seven levels behind the mob he's not only ineffective as a tank but also has negligible dps.
No worries. As happened before, I grow a little tired of the Ghost Saber skin. There is a very cool tiger that is summoned out in Winterspring named Shy-Rotum (sp?) that has an icy blue appearance. I can tame him when I am level 60 and that will bring him immediately into line with my level. This will negate the level disparity and nab me a cool new pet all in one step.
I'd like to take a snapshot of my stats in before-Outlands gear and then track my stats level by level. This will be kinda neat to see how quickly my stats jump due to quested gear.
