I tried last night to just do some questing in the badlands and wanted to see if I could take out the lvl50 elite named dragons for the quest.

Well after clearing out some baby drakes on the way to the elites I came across 2 NE hunters, one 54 and the other 42. They were killing some stuff so i decided not to rogue-style gank them and just ran right by them.

Well I thought it would be that easy. I see in my combat spam that the hunters gained cheetah apects and the fact that it showed up told me they were closing on me. I position my group to face back in the direction I had come and sure enough they cross over the apex of the hill i was near and now starts the stare-down. After about 5 seconds I'm like the hell with this. Elemental mastery pops and in go the chain-lightning into the lvl 54.

That 54 had some health i tell ya. It took like four salvos to burn him down but he went down and then the other hunter who backed out just before it started comes up to die.

I love these experiences, they tell me I need to further upgrade my gear but they only got my paly and one of my shaman past 40%.

Only thing I wish I had done was make my BE paly dance during the fight since he didn't do jack anyway.
