A Note on the Careful Aim Change for BM and SV

Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on June 7, 2011 | 7 Comments »

MM will want to keep its points in Careful Aim despite the nerf, but what about BM and SV, specs for which CA is weaker?  At least according to tentative results from a warf that’s been femaled, BM should keep points in CA (like this) if the PTR change goes live.  SV will be better [...]

I got a couple of interesting comments on my last post about this, and it got me thinking. The spreadsheets and websites are not perfect models for in game results- everyone knows the disclaimers that come with using them. I am curious about how big the DPS difference of a BM hunter really is, and [...]

I promised myself I wouldn’t get into this. People really seem to get divided over the issue and take it way more personally than I think they should. There have been several posts on both sides of the question that got debated endlessly, but I finally decided that I would throw my two cents in. [...]

Slowly but Surely, Beastmastery is Gaining!

Beast mastery is a fan favorite. It was also unbalanced for the first part of this expansion, and got nerfed hard in patch 3.0.8. After that patch, the majority of people who played BM in a raiding environment were people who really liked the playstyle, and had more skill with it than they did using [...]

Disclaimer: There are a ton of comps that qualify as “viable,” even for a statistically weak class like hunter, but you need to be with competent players. I don’t even have experience with most of the comps I see hunters 2.7k+ with, and [...]

You’ve all read the patch notes, here’s what’s important. [Edit 10 aug 2009:] Kill shot no longer has a minimum range! Use when applying melee tactics. All profession based PvE boosts get their performance increased for free, except blacksmithing and jewelcrafting. The extra gem slots and better JC only gems have to be bought somehow. [...]
