In that case... How much time would it take for the pet to grow but to size?

I tamed a warp stalker at level 65 and leveled it to 70 , unless I compare it with a wild warp stalker I would not know whether it has grown back or not.

I have been using Strigid Hunter as a pet when it is levl 7 till now level 14 but how come it never learn SCREECH, CLAW, COWER and DIVE? Can any one tell me how can i teach it to learn? It's also not inside my pet training list.

Pls help...

Thanks

Druids are indead tough to beat, but i did recall killing 2 at the same time in STV lvls 35,34 both in cat form. The amazing part is i managed to kill them without resorting to range at all. I believe that in some cases, f you wish to preserve ammo you can go melee. BTW i was lvl 35 at the time of the duel =)

As i was saying about melee, at low lvls it is extremely useful due to the fact that most people that you fight against seems clueless for about 2 secs when they see a hunter that they have been stalking for the past 10 minutes to suddenly turn around and melee their asses. My talent was in BM so my melee crits were way above my range. My personal high at that time was a 640 at lvl 35 and range-453. If you see the improved wingclip talent in survival, i have that too and spam it till the effect works. Also i enjoy spazzing when i attack them in melee using a firey war axe or duel wielding. I find that if you place a frost trap while accomplishing wingclips, it is extremely helpful. For the most part as the druid in cat form was trying to (desperately i might add) get behind me or just face me to get a good whack at me, i did not allow them to. For most of the battle i was behind them whacking 220s per hit. Mongoose bite is useful when you have a dodge % of 20. I'm basically just stating that druids are NOT hunter killers, more like the other way around.

I am lvl 64 right now and i do own them all the time, only losing to ppl higher than me and overgeared druids.

I could also use some help,I;m a full BM hunter,with some points if marksmanship as well.I do mostly groups dungeons/quests/raids with my guild,and I'm not too sure where to put my talent point next. My current build is http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/hunter/talents.html?0520300052501225313510555001000000000000000000000000000000000000

ozwwjd, your next talent point? You have them all spent! (With that pet-centric a build, you might want to pick up Go For the Throat, too.)

Zezna, there are cats at that level in Stranglethorn Vale, Swamp of Sorrows, and Alterac Mountains. The Alterac ones might stop at like 35, but the Swamp Jaguars are ~37 and there are higher ones to the east in SoS. Cats are simply everywhere in SV, so you even get your pick between a tiger and a panther.

Yeah, we're aware. Azuarc has plans to create a revised version, but time is not quite as limitless as it once seemed to be.

That's the same reason why my BM guide has yet to be updated.

Hey, it's good for 2006, too!

I'll let Sayis answer that, but no, there's nothing wrong. Just not my style.

A pet-centric build is viable if you are adept at controlling your pet.

As for your build... I still question the value of Aimed Shot in pet-centric builds, but I seem to tbe the only one who does. Other than that.. you picked up many of the key talents, left out the bad ones.



PvP boils down to two things: players and situations. Specs and gear play a relatively small part when you look at those two. Between hunters, a skilled hunter will beat an unskilled one (BM or MM). Between classes... a BM is better suited for caster battle while MM are better suited to the melee kite fights. That doesn't mean BM can't function against melee or that MM can't hold their own against casters.

Try BM to see if it's your style.... but don't pick BM because you think it'll make you a better PvPer.

By the time you have Misdirection, you'll have Steady Shot. As a BM, you're more likely to have high AP (rather than high Agi), so your Steady Shots and Arcane Shots hit hard. Not as much damage as Aimed, perhaps, but shorter and doesn't cost a talent point.

I'm not saying Aimed Shot is bad... but as a heavy Beast Master, it just doesn't seem like you can get the talents that make it a staple ability. Being BM with Aimed Shot just feels kinda like a hunter trying to melee. It can be done... but that doesn't mean it can be done well.

It depends on your spec. I'm specifically talking about heavy BM spec (ie, pet-centric builds). If you're just going 11 points into MM solely for Aimed Shot, then you're not getting many of the requisite talents that make Aimed Shot useful -- particularly Mortal Shots.

If, on the other hand, you're doing a more balanced hybrid of the two, then it could be effective.

Play to your own strengths, not to someone else's. Beast Mastery can be a very effective build, but you do not play it the same way as a MM or SV hunter. That's just aiming in the wrong direction, and you won't be at your best trying to do that.

I don't consider AS to be a must-have ability. In most situations, it would slow me down, though. I decided that I would rather have talents that complemented my BM style rather than impeding it. I've never looked back, and I've never had trouble for lacking it.

It's not about the trees, it's about the talent itself. It doesn't work together with any of the BM talents, it doesn't support any of your other talents, and it works against a more BM-oriented style.

It serves no real benefit that I've seen other than giving you bigger numbers all at once. I'd rather be on the move. Attack, kill, attack, kill, attack, kill. Not only is this faster, but it keeps me from wasting Frenzy and Ferocious Inspiration -- just keep going kill to kill with no pauses until it's time to rest.

Aimed Shot is an opener... it is very limited in the number of situations where it is beneficial to use, and there are even many situations where it's a bad idea to use. You'd have to have a very slow weapon to get a real dps boost from Aimed Shot (since you can add in AS dps without losing autoshot dps), but that counteracts Serpent Swiftness and Improved Aspect of the Hawk if you have them.

It may be of use in PvP, but that talent point (or points if you only took them to get to Aimed Shot) could be just as beneficial somewhere else.

I've explained my reasoning. Aimed Shot has no synergy with Beast Mastery.

Whether or not you agree with me is up to you.

Btw, regarding slower weapons, the reason they work better with AS is because you can't auto-shoot while charging up. With an attack speed greater than 3 seconds, you eliminate this drawback completely, gaining the ability to do full autoshot dps with full Aimed Shot DPS weaved in between autoshots.

In Beast Master, you have Serpent's Swiftness and IAotH to increase your attack speed, and thereby your dps. However, if you were to use Aimed Shot with Serpent's Swiftness active, you would be losing more Autoshot dps, weakening the damage benefits of using Aimed Shot.
