I don't get it. You're just putting in for max attack power and crit?

As well as gaining the hit bonus. Just kinda 'thinking out loud' with it.

Yeah so at least all that time I've spent on Lumi is completely wasted.

Call me unimpressed by the new "awesome" end of the BM talent tree....

I mean yeah, I love to have unique pets, and I'll probably take the talent just for that, but can I get a damage boost? A new cool ability? Dual wielding pistols while my pet dances the fandango over the corpse of my enemy?

Meh. I hope they add something to that.

Tentative build so far. Wow such amazing changes, looks like Blizz actually listened to hunters for a change! Mortal shots moved to Tier 2 in the MM tree, Master Tactician is no longer a prereq for Readiness, Traps are going to be alot more viable me thinks and Serpent Sting as actually being a viable raid damage dealer? Wow, just wow!!

Cheers,
E



No master tactician Ery? O.O With your crits restoring mana, energy, rage and runic power you don't want increased crit rate? O.o



Hard choices :( And they even increased Master Tactician to a 10% chance... WTB more talent points. I will probably try out a few builds, with and without MT and see which one suits my play style better. The link I posted was for a Serpent Sting based Survival build which would be quite interesting and would make me use my stings more often, which me thinks is a good thing.

Cheers,
E

edit: also with the 8 second cool down on Hunting Party, I think I will have a high enough crit rate to keep it up every 8-10 seconds, depending on gear.

Honestly I hope this brings all the talent trees in line as far as Raid dps goes. BM has been on top of the DPS meters, well atleast thats what most folks say ;) since BC hunter mechanics got figured out. It would be nice to have more than one Raid spec.

Damn you people are fast... (or I'm slow?)

I haven't really noticed that. I haven't taken Dahlily much of anywhere 'cept KZ and the occasional Gruul's, but I know Dulin and I are neck and neck most of the time...

Yep. We are. And now look at our gear difference. I'm Marks, you're Beast. I do kinda take it easy in KZ, but still, given the gear difference, the spec makes a difference.

Came across this, hope it hasn't been posted yet:

http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/html/articles/wotlkskills.php

Some neat abilities there ;)

Also has the talent trees to the left, under WotLK Info. Noticed WoWHead has a talent tree page for pets.

Very cool.

YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME FRUIT VENDOR!
Anyone else notice that, from the top all the way down to 40, there's practically no changes in Beast Mastery?

Meanwhile, Surv and Marks get a heavy overhaul. Yeah. Can you say "they got BM exactly right"?

EDIT: Also, for those of you lamenting the 51-point BM talent. Please note the extra 5 Skill Points you get. Since this will be using the new Pet Talent trees, this is pretty darned huge. A level 80 pet is going to have 16 Talent points to spend... unless you're 51-BM, at which point it would appear you have 21. And looking at Petopia, some of the DPS tree talents look fair to make a pet with that tree into a buzzsaw of destruction, especially with 21 points to spend.

Yeah think they realized that BM was just about right and the other two, especially Survival needed an overhaul. I am really happy with the changes to the SV tree but I feel like a Prot Pally, in the fact that I don't have enough points to put stuff into all the things I want, too many goodies :)

Re: BM 51pt talent, yeah I believe that most folks are looking at the pet talent points being the main reason to getting it, because I doubt Blizz is going to give BM hunters massively overpowerful exotic pets.

Refining my SV build, any comments or questions? Still heading towards trying to max out Serpent Sting, tho I don't know if that is a lost cause or not yet.

PS, oh finally got the other WoWhead Wrath links to work, had to do a forced reload on the talent page to get them to show up right.
