I'm curious as to why you took 4/5 deflection as opposed to monster slaying. its pretty obviously a PvE build, outside of those parry talents. btw nice dmg on brut, and i'd kill for a sliver or dst to drop for us, sigh.

Here's what we did last night on brut, kinda curious as where SV tops out at on dps.

edit: dunno why my armoury has me unguilded, weird.

my guild is currently 5/6 in sunwell and we are working on KJ atm. our best attempt so far stranded at 49% (our first go in meteor phase).

i have been cookiecutter BM spec since TBC hit and didnt really care to read up on other specs

my guilds raidleader last night asked me to look into speccing survival in order to boost raid dps. we used 3 hunters, 3 rogues, 2 dps warriors (or 1 dps and 1 prot), 1 enhancement shaman and a feral druid.

spec wise i came up with Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

since speccing survival means i lose serpents swiftness i have no idea what would be the best macro / rotation for me to use. i can look forward to a group consisting of 3 hunters a feral druid and a shaman where 3 or 4 people are leatherworkers.

i use a 3.0 speed (golden bow of quel'thalas) and the only other ranged weapons i have black bow of the betrayer (also 3.0) and sunfury bow.

armory link: The World of Warcraft Armory

is it even viable for me to try out survival and if so what would be best macro/rotation for me to use.

sorry for probably asking the same question that has probably been answered numerous times before but im at work and dont have time to read through the entire topic.

Indeed, would be neat with an upload. To that one.

This is what I don't get. Warriors are supposed to be the unequivocal masters of all weapons period end of discussion. And our expertise is being taken away?!?!?! No sense!

First off I would like to say I've read all the initial and very recent documentation on this thread...

My guild has recently began work on M'uru and due to the strict raid composition requirement I found myself falling behind on healing at times, frantically spamming HL to catch up on healing the Sentinel tank while healing the near group's side tank as well.

Until now I have always been socketing and gearing for spell crit, but now I can see how haste would come in handy but I am very worried that it will impact my mana efficiency. Obviously, the faster you cast, the more mana you lose but in conjunction to casting faster it will also proc more Illuminations dependant on the amount of spell crit spent for haste.

With the gear to offer so far I don't have many options for haste, as the book off twins and leggings off felmyst will most likely end up in the hands of a shaman first, which it should. So socketing for haste would get me from ~50/60 haste to 130/140 haste rating which to me isn't a very effective use of gem slots. I believe until I can get the pieces with haste on it I can possibly see a higher return on HPS as a 100 boost in haste only seems to yield about an extra 100 HPS on HL's.

My question; Is there anyone in the same boat as me or someone who has experienced this dilemma and have any useful advice to share? Thanks.

I recently had a personal best as well, on Brut as survival.
I did 2235 dps with one hero. My group comp was 3 bm hunters, me, and a resto shaman. If any of you guys see anything out of the usual please tell me so i can correct it.

new build tonight WoW Forums -> Scheduled Maintenance 8/13/08

So ive been BM for pretty much the whole of TBC and am contemplating transferign to survival.

This is me (this is my BM gear, will change if/when i respec) The World of Warcraft Armory.

This is my proposed spec : Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Progress wise, Felmyst is down and we are beginning to work on twins.

Basically LF any advice on:

Shot Rotation - is there a spamable macro or will i be manually timing my shots like pre-tbc? Either is good just LF an answer.

Spec - What do you think of mine? stuck with mana regen vs solid DPS (yes I realise they are inextricably linked)

Gear - To what extent can I stack 'rogue' gear with higher agility but less intellect.

Maybe a veteran survivalist can just say, hey this is me, check my armoury for spec and gear, any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Looks neat to me.

Clique (WoWInterface Downloads : Unit Mods : Clique) should be what you're looking for. I'm using dispel on whatever I have hovered over if I press my dispel button and only if it is a UI element.

During TBC, Blizzard did not have any real competition. Warhammar is due to be released soon, Blizzard wants to hold all existing WoW player's interest so they don't take up Warhammer. Plus look at what Blizzard is doing to attract new players with the new mount and "leveling buddy" promotion. That said, my brother is in the WH beta, he told me that is isn't anywhere near ready for release.

im not sure if anyone has noticed this, but i figured here would be the best place to post it.

a quest dagger that has a new stat called armor penetration rating, how this is going to work in conjunction with striaght armor penetration i don't know. As the link says, its from mmo-champion

Intimidation - We'd like to make this instant instead of relying on the pet's next attack.

Disengage - This is being changed in a future build. What it will do is cause the Hunter to jump back instantly 10-15ish yards to gain distance. 30 second cooldown.

WoW Forums -> [Suggestions] Levidian's Mega List

These are absolutely amazing changes. Very excited now
