Itching to KnowFollow

#1 Mar 22 2008 at 6:06 PM Rating: Decent
Hello everyone. As of late I have been torn with the decision to switch specs. I am currently Survival/MM. Well, let's get to the point shall we?

I am pretty sure I want to switch specs. However I do not know whether to switch to MM or BM. I know how to play BM very well. I leveled BM. I also know how to play MM fairly well too. To the question... What spec would create more RAW damage? MM is focusing more on AP and mana reduction, and BM is focusing more on pet improvement and overall attack speed. I think Aethien said, Machine Gun. I just want to know whether or not MM or BM would produce the most efficient raw damage. Obviously this is based off of opinions. I know that there is no master spec or such. I would just like some input. Thanks for your time.

Well first off you have to decide what you're going to do with your hunter. Are you going to arena, or are you going to raid/instance? If you're going to arena, MM is the way to go. If you're going to raid/instance, BM is the way to go all the way up to T6 content. However if you're talking about raiding, it can vary a bit depending on the fight. Some fights aren't pet friendly so MM gets a bit of an edge, but more often than not BM will simply out dps MM. At the same time though, BM isn't the best spec to try to do arenas in. Decide what you want to do as a hunter, then spec accordingly.

Well, if you're raiding and solo grinding, BM is the way to go for raw damage output- and countless tests have proven that.

I much prefer a SV/MM build for raiding and instances. I do not do as much damage as other classes/specs, but, I am a Crowd Control GOD. Raids and istances, I have way more fun being sv/mm. Do what you like, try some stuff out. As others have posted"

*MM/SV for arena and pvp.

*BM/MM for raw damage.

*SV/MM for insane utility.

MM does not compare to BM in raw dps, MM is mainly an arena spec.
BM is top dps, and very capable of topping any dmg meters if you wish to do so.
SV is something every 25-man raiding guild wants one of, because ~225-250 Ap for all physical dps is jummy.

It depends on the raid imo.
BM for Kara/etc is great.
MM is awesome for Hyjal/BT (where boss fights are definitely anything but pet-friendly).

BM still tops MM dmg in BT/hyjal, and not many of the fights are pet unfriendly, they mostly just require more skill.

Ctrl + 1 and Ctrl + 2 are the key combinations that makes that statement obsolete.
