For one, that guide is kinda outdated since it doesn't include the new blue items from WC etc.
Anyway, yes I'm planning my gear ahead etc
My hunters are currently lvl 18, about halfway to 19,all of them have the belt from deadmines, though if I get the last 2-3 belts from WC i might use that instead.
Have 2-3 defias chests so far, working on those with minimal xp gains. Grabbing some weapons on the way to use until I can get the staff from wsg.
Planning to farm stockades of something for some forest leather bracers since the Ah seems to not have them much these days.
And thats about it as far as what gear I'm missing. Don't have much headgear planned yet, though I might lvl engineering or take them fishing some sunday in the future, depends how long I intend to stay at lvl 19.

So yeah, expect to hear more from me soon as I finish twinking (at least to some degree) my hunters and get going on the pvping. Will try to make a video
Off to do the quest for the ring from SFK now...
