Anyone else get bored...Follow

Not with WoW or anything, I mean I really like the game and all and I love playing, but my 67 Hunter has just started to bore me.

I play a Beastmaster spec. and I am killing stuff fine and I don't die all that often and I am pretty good in the BGs (when I play them).

I just have gotten pretty sick of my class in general, I mean it seems that no matter what I read it says I shouldn't use any shot but steady shot and I try to do other combos of shots, but it just seems to never do as much damage. I wanted to switch to marksmanship again, but I just don't know if it will change anything.

I havn't been able to get an instance group for quite a while and I find it just to be a complete waste of time considering the groups always get disbanded halfway through the instance anyway.

I don't know, does anyone have any advice to make my class interesting again?

Try a different spec, that should get you over some of the boredom.

My hunter is still SV because of a lack of +hit gear. I'm stuck at 96 hit, so SV is the only thing I can do for a while. Plus I'm the only real SV hunter in my guild.

When I pull a mob alone, it's Aimed-Steady-Multi-Arcane, and the mob is usually dead before it gets to me. My pet's just there for the Focused Fire talent of +2% damage. It's a lot different than pet-tanking stuff.

Hah, my pet's left on aggressive sometimes after PvP.

I fly out of Shatt to go mining, land on a vein, and my pet goes off all berserk. Twice now he's pulled a mob that dropped a BoE blue.

I know what you mean, i hit 68 and just didn't have the will to get to 70. I played my Pally alt up to 48 before i finally hit 70. I still don't feel like playing it much, I'm not into playing BG's over and over again for gear.

He should try SV. He'd still be using far more than Steady spam, but he'd also do more damage, and have raid viability.

I still don't understand how "It's more fun to mash a button that does 4 different shots than to mash a button that does 2" really works. So you put Multi and Arcane shots into your macro. Good for you. I'm sure you copied that macro from somewhere..

Roll a different class.

I get bored of my toon sometimes and so I'll switch to a different class for different playstyles and group roles.

Here's a list of my current toons to give you an idea of the possibilities;


70 prot warrior
70 shadow priest
70 rogue
68 resto shaman
67 bm hunter
40 fire mage



Guess which role I can fill in a group if I want?

I <3 your icon.

You are wrong Katie. BM/MM is simply the best for DPS. The BM/SV is not a cookie cutter full out DPS build. It is workable though, depending on where you put the points.

High end dungeons don't need crowd control 90% of the time. I've done every single heroic with a group consisting of: feral (tank)/warrior (arms)/rogue (combat)/paladin (ret)/priest (holy). I never sapped once.

That you came out top DPS in a heroic as 40/0/21 doesn't say anything for the spec; it says something about your group.

I can go into a PuG and do 75%+ of the damage done (and I have), but that doesn't mean that combat rogues out-DPS everyone by a good 200-300%.

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. 41/20/0 is the highest (self) DPS spec for a hunter, end of story. You'd have to ask Aethien what SV spec is best for rDPS.
