Kinda makes me wish i didn't pass on the t5 legs last ssc, which both got disenchanted

Aye, it good to be a demo lock

Specced bm for the weekend, mainly because i wanted to see how good these would be.
Damage is insane now, but still think it's boring :c

The argument is silly imo, in the end all specs are "boring". If you feel comfortable with a spec you play it better and possibly you can do more stuff in raids (whatever that might be (checking up on mages who sheep with molton armor comes to mind

).

How can it be more boring than any MM or Survival spec? You only do Autoshot and Steady Shot anyways, no matter which spec... with BM you even have to control more stuff

but I can agree that a certain spec appeals you more than another.

What ?
BM = spamming auto & steady
If you do just that with MM/SURV, your dps is terrible (fuck, even doing it the proper way - your dps is terrible as mm/surv :p)

bottomline: MM/SURV actually requires you to stay awake

Which sort of defeats the purpose of playing a hunter really...

Guessing Hunters truly are broken to the core; maybe it's a result of an "easy fix" to give Hunters an autoshoot function?
Honestly can't recall it all, but I seem to have this feeling that Hunters got their autoshoot thing revised since the game started...

Pretty messed up shit by skimming that thread superficially; any melee class can just spam their instants and expect them to be instant and not delay or prevent regular autoattacks from existing.

I've even heard some mention "more Steady Shots then Auto Shots on an encounter = really really bad for dps".

I just use this macro and I can tell you, it rocks in pvp!

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/petattack
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, Auto Shot
/cast [exists,target=pettarget] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()

No idea how effective this is in raids tho, mana/dps wise tho

So what you're saying is that Hunters are still an easymode class?

unex · Post by **unex** » 21 Aug 2007, 18:28

imo, they can be...if specced beast mastery yeh

Edit: in pvp u'll need some other skills besides spamming that macro tho. But hey...doesn't every class requires more skill then tapping 2-3 buttons...

But i can imagine pve(raids) it can be pretty boring. This is based from my 2 trips through kz

I don't use macros, so if I could increase my dps with say 5%-10% with 1 macrospamming button, I wouldn't use it... Me trying so hard to dps is just a motivation for the rest of the raid, when they see the shear skill and dedication we need to acctually show up on the dmg meter. We click 2-3 buttons, but the insane timing required for maximum dps is just godlike, or titanlike wich I've learned the last weeks with no inet or pc.

6--700 dps scorpid pets are fun I hear

Yep

888 is actually quite low btw, normally they stack to around 950-1k on bosses without weakness to nature etc.
