Hunter Needs HelpFollow

Hello,

Ive been playing WoW for 2 months now and Im happy playing my Hunter class. Before I play games like these, I usually do research on the class I play. Im now almost lvl 50 and I just switched out of BM for MM. I love all the crits and damage I get from it.

Now here's my question:
Ive read most of the BM vs MM threads out there and from what Ive read, BM outdamages MM endgame.
Can anyone explain to me how this is? The only way I see that is by adding the damage from your pet, especially when Beastial Wrath is used. But, doesnt the Crits from your shots and such outweigh that damage also when youre a MM hunter?

Im not looking to be ranted and nagged upon, I just need some help b/c I stress out what Build I want when I hit engame so I can be the best I can be.

Thank you for helping me. =)

Lol I never thought the Lethal and Mortal Shots made that much of a difference.

Thank You for answering.

So you do factor in Pet Damage a lot.
Well I re-specced back to BM to try it out again, but I went in and put my 20 points for MM then went into BM. Ughh cost me 20 gold lol.

Before Re-spec, this was gonna be my spec for lvl 70 MM:

But this is going to be my spec till 70 for BM:

Ive seen Animal Handler in a lot of specs, whats so great about it?

Is it really that important?

Hit now seems to be the most important stat in the game. For pretty much all dps classes (possible exception being warrior) the first thing you go for is capping your hit. It has been number crunched to death that people with higher hit (up to the cap) will out damage people with lower hit but higher other stats. A pet is no exception to this. For me, my pet is anywhere between 20-25% of my total damage done, so when he misses, it can really hurt my damage done. Especially with the addition of buff food for your pet, a pet with an increased chance to hit can make all the difference in the world. If you don't want to believe it, feel free to try comparing your dps when you (or your pet) has hit, and when you (or it) doesn't. research is always a good thing.

Nope, same for them.


+hit for endgame is the stat that increases your DPS the most (at least for melee:ers) until capped. Now, pets can't cap hit, but 4% is a huge deal when 8.6 - 9% is the cap.
