Hit 74 last night once I got burned out of farming Cobalt (and it was quick, let me tell you). Got Aspect of the Dragonhawk I. Still say it's useless. Would've rather just had a stronger Hawk IX than the dodge, but meh, I think I'm the only Hunter who feels that way.

Got some new shoulders off the AH for a very respectable price, too. That makes four pieces of gear that have been replaced - one Breeching Comet, Garona's Signet Ring, my Chocobow, and now my Pauldrons of Primal Fury. Everything else, however, is still intact.

And my Boomstick itself is in jeopardy - I got this thing out of Violet Hold. It's less hit and just a tad less crit than my Boomstick, but the DPS is nice, and it's more RAP. *sigh* Math and theorycrafting... isn't that why I play? :P
