Re: New BM Spec seems to do more DPS then MM and Surv... Big
I do well over 7.5K dps with this spec, and I am not very wll geared. Seems to really work with me. I do have t point out:
1) I get this dps if my video card is giving me decent fps. Sometimes I go down as low as 3 or 4 fps, at which point, i do about 6.5K dps
2) If my latency is low, see #1. Comcast hates WoW.
3) I was using my wolf (Elvus) at the time because my Sapphire Hive Queen (Prikk) was getting too many complaints. Please Blizz, shrink her! I do get a lil better dps from a wasp, but don't have the stable space to get another wasp.
4) If I remember to actually switch tracking to the type of boss we are fighting, i get better dps. I am a nub, and often forget to change my tracking.
Ok, off to take Elvis to the vet. Lemme know what you think about the spec.

If this is true, it's a placebo (unless you're tracking mining or something).Dweezill wrote:http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... n=Dweezill

As long as you're tracking ANY of the types in Improved Tracking then you get the bonus damage against enemies of ALL types. (i.e. you can be tracking beasts, but still get improved damage against humanoids)

Not really; I feel the exact same way.Saturo wrote:Those process you love about SV are what I hate with the spec. It makes it far too random and complicated for me. I like my rotation with few distractions, thankyouverymuch.I'm not a fan of the short, incredibly boring BM rotation either tough. I'm weird. Huge surprise, eh?

Trying to cut back on those, really.Saturo wrote:There are addons for it too.
That definitely doesn't always work.Unggoy wrote:Go the lazy route and stick pet on Aggressive while Flare is up, heh.

It's really more of a problem if I forget to swap it back between matches.

Re: New BM Spec seems to do more DPS then MM and Surv... Big
As far as tracking goes, i do only put 3 points into.... but i could swaer my dps seems lil higher if i have it on track giant, if the raid boss is a giant. Hmmm... you may be right... placebo effect.
And I really hate rogues and feral kitties. What a bunch of dirty @$$holes. lol

*mumble* Kept getting this one rogue/feral/healer team last night. They decided to go on me first pretty much every time. >_<Dweezill wrote:And I really hate rogues and feral kitties. What a bunch of dirty @$$holes. lol
Fortunately, we beat them most times.

Re: New BM Spec seems to do more DPS then MM and Surv... Big
Well.
To be honest... -I- ran around going BIGREDPETLOL and kiting. Valak killed her. (Krush.) Yeah, I played smart & fast; I flared her vanish, serpent stinged her clos etc. But out of 34k dmg done (she popped battlemaster's trink and possibly a health pot), Valak did something like 25k lol. Considering my hunter is my PvE char by far, I was happy with that

Btw, I'm aware this is entirely off-topic now, and I'm sorry
