Oh, wow, I fail, Lil game hunter was nerfed to 75 wasn't it? ... Move along folks, nothing to see here but the flaming wreckage of a post.
It is technically UNpossible for your 101st pet to be anything other than the little fawn (unless you grinded all the way up there and then DIDN'T choose to learn the fawn). And yeah, unpossible isn't even a word, that's how strange I think your post is.
A feat of Chuck Norris-like Strength, even.

... I just costed someone their WoWInsider achievement, didn't I? *shamefaced*
Add one more: the Prot Pallie's glyph of Avenger's shield turns the three man ranged pulling tool into a single target (beefed up) pulling tool. If you had the option to switch on the fly, this would become a very much better glyph (tho whether it would then make the grade remains to be seen, too many mandatory majors for prot pallies).

This is precisely why Blizz won't allow it, tho they maybe should in respect of minor "cosmetic" glyphs like polymorph penguin.
Achievement: 50 DKP minus

I think there was a very brief spell way back in beta when Forsaken were actually "undead" for exorcism/pally fear... that lasted about as long as this iteration (all players burstable with exorcism) and the pally fear effectiveness against demony guises of players or their pets. History always repeats for those who do not learn from it, EY BLIZZ ;-)

I just hate that they need to put a patch maintenance in teh middle of prime egg farming time :-)
"Any imagine nerfs really have slown us down in any major way, "

Straight, no chaser ey? Seems you had one too many chaser already, writing this sentence. ;-)
Unless the mod turns into what decursive used to be in the bad old days: hit the same button over and over again to tell the game to "do what's best"... Everyone agreed that that was a bad idea.

To what extent "whack a mole" mods cross that line... I dunno. But a player should never be looked down upon for using his own brain rather than a faceroller mod or macro.
Given that Blizz have responded to the PVE ret libram situation (a Venture Co blue or quest reward greenie (Libram of Furious Blows... that's funny, I can make a sentence using those words starting with "I'm") by nerfing the blue to crap and back (and not adding anything useful that I can detect in Ulduar)... I see the ranged slot as adding comedy value, if nothing else.

Oh, sure, if you want a halfway decent PVE ret libram, you can go get 1930 arena rating. SURE, let me get RIGHT on that.

I've long given up on the libram slot, and would equip a Libram of Pink Fluffy bunnies if there was one.
As a loyal EU reader, I feel obligated to remark that the crack of my dawn has passed quite some time ago...

However, I'd also like to remark: GIEV! NAO! PLX!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
