I'm infracting you for giving us needless fucking backstory. I couldn't even get through your backstory before I grew tired of your post, and here I am at the infraction screen. We are not that kind of forum.

Original Post:

First post here after only a week of reading so bear with me.

I've been MM since hitting 80 because of the OP Volley and Trueshot buffing my melee heavy raid but I raided as BM for a long time prior. I don't have any other exceptional hunters in my guild, and our Beast Masters haven't been putting up the numbers that caused this nerf. I could probably get solid numbers out of it had I finished experimenting with MM sooner and tried Beast out.

My dps as MM has been far above our other classes in Nax. I am only in heroic and crafted gear because i've passed eveything to the other trailing dps classes but I've been around 3100 dps over 5 minutes 3rd week in 10 man nax with no nax gear. Not sure how that compares to the godly BM dps they are trying to nerf, but I think it will pose an attractive alternative to a nerf'ed spec. I sometimes go 3 or 4 shots before firing a steadyshot(mana permitting) so I don't see much of a nerf comming my way, especially if they are buffing the instant attacks I bank on for high burst dmg. MM should definitely be reconsidered for the top raid spec. BM will be lacking in dps and raid utility(buffs) and risk losing their spot to another class if they dont have top dps anymore. Other MM hunters in my guild with comparable gear are doing about 1000dps less than me due to lack of technique, I wonder if other MM'ers had been having the same issues and missing the power of the build?

While Volley was my favorite part about and incentive for being MM, having my screen fill with 3400 crits was clearly out of control. What were they thinking?

I'm sad for the die-hard BM hunters out there, but I hope you get the opportunity to incorporate more than 1 shot into your rotation in the future and make your jobs interesting. Spamming 1 attack is too much like role'ing ele shaman which needs diversity.

The Kill Shot changes are going to give me a lot more room to play with, since I had previously been saving my 2nd Readiness to cooldwn Kill Shot at 20%, praying for enough time to land 3 critting at 13k each. Now I'll use it to refresh rapid fire and chimera as soon as possible.

I think it's time for me to post on the MM thread since nobody seems to be impressed with the spec like me yet.
