Origins of BM vs MM?Follow

I thought I read somewhere that pets couldn't set of flame wreath. I've just never used mine to avoid the possibility. Just had him out when I was BM so I could BW, but kept him on stay by the door.

For me it is all about where im raiding. Certain fights, different specs perform better. With that said, i respec pretty much before every raid. BM does the highest damage in fights where i can just stand and shoot the boss, MM does better on fights like Vashj, and Alar, or where anywhere u can reliably use multishot, and SV is good at pretty much everything, which is why i consider it my main spec. Over all though for ME, the difference in dps isnt that much, 1200-1400 bm, 1100-1200 MM and SV. This is the reason i switch specs, because raiding as a hunter is pretty boring, so to keep myself interested i change things up a bit.

Yeah, I'm going to ignore WoWWiki on this one and say that Silence doesn't magically act as an interrupt in this one raid and nowhere else (and not in other applicable boss fights, either - Reliquary of Souls comes to mind).

Yeah, you're probably right, and I'll assume so since I've never had any experience or logical evidence to the opposite.

I was pretty sure it stopped the cast while I was in Kara 2 nights ago as my Raid leader asked for me to try to be backup for the rogues in case of a resist on the interupts and I don't remember his spell going off when my silence shot when off though I could be mistaken as it was a little chaotic as people were droppin like flies.

Lost 2 druids right in the beginning of the fight. I got killed shortly after... followed with a combat rez and then getting hit for almost 3k and dying again... I knew I should have just laid on the ground for the rest of that fight lol.

Thanks for the info about the pets though. The group will be glad to hear it doesn't set it off. That was my first time even at shade so I never really knew what was going on until it was described to me and they asked me to dismiss my pet for the fight as they thought it would destroy us all.

I would like to add that was their second time fighting him so I am assuming they just read an old post and thought it still set it off.

I see BM vs MM beefs all the time in trade chat, whever anyone mentions SV they all lol and then continue bashing each other.

What??? I'm sure if a silencing shot stops a shade cast once it would do it again, what's the point of testing it 5 times? Besides I wasn't trying to make a point, I have no idea if silencing shot stops shade, as I've never done kara with an MM hunter, I just thought I'd test it out.

I've noticed that as well. SV is kind of a running joke to some I guess. Don't know any SV hunters so I have no clue.

BM and SV is teh shiet. MM only seems to notice BM though, maybe think that's the only real threat.

MM hunters are wrong about sooo much though...

I love Sv, but i dont think i can go back to it because of how slow u shoot, after running with bm for a couple weeks, i just cant do it. As far as im concerned people can keep ignoring sv, then they will run into a well played sv hunter and be like wtf!

Your locks suck!

Edit:
Just to diss you a bit Aethien :-) SSC Raid yesterday - Karathress fight. 5/20/36 spec; 0 group support (no feral druid, no agi totem, no heroism, no drums).
I edited out all other names as we do not publish wws stats with real char names and I do not have the combat log to anonymize those logs.

Ok, then
1) all your DDs suck
2) your raid group is strange when you have T6 gear in your raid at your Al'ar 1st kill.
