Dolemite/Ravel

I see that you guys recently switched to BM for raiding and I was wondering how you felt about it. I had been beastial up until Tuesday night, I got frustrated on Hydross/Lurker and decided not to stick with it. Do you guys plan to stick with it?

I spoke to Ravel about it on PTR and he said that it had to do with your Pet not dying anymore and thusly being like 300 free DPS

Overall, I quite enjoy the spec. I know my hunter companion and gay lover Dolemite has mixed feelings, but I feel it was a strong move in the right direction. The recent buffs have made it a very competitive spec as far as dps meters go. Interestingly enough, You can use your pet on both hydross and lurker with relative ease. I should really write a guide or something.

Thanks for the response! I meant Hydross was a pain because we're pretty melee heavy so on the frost stage I just set my pet aside. When we did Lurker this week, I didn't have boss mods updated so I was blindly guessing on whirl. I just figured I'd ask here since you guys are pretty far ahead of us content wise and you didn't list any of the fights beyond Void Reaver/Leotheras being problematic. Thanks again. *Edit* I'll probably spec back to Beastial as soon as I get my ravager to 70. Oh the pain

Hi, assuming Power is Ravel i would like to ask about your spec. I tried to make a 2.1 Build including the new Heal, but i didnt likt to loose Spirit Bond. In your build you chosse both PetHeal and SpiritBond leaving 0 Points in improved Focusreg. My questions here: Do you feel that your Pet gets enough focus with GFFT alone ? and What do you think about putting only 1 Point in Animal Handler which let you put 1 in improved focusreg (build: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=mtbM0gxRwuVoVVbRV) Thanx in advance and sry for my bad english skills Greetings Tarnesh

I think Ravel has like 30% unbuffed crit? I'd assume with GFTT he gives his pet enough focus not to worry about BD.

I've been trying to work with my hunters on how to not suck up on the dmg. I'll probably be asking them to switch to BM after this to at least try it out. Ravel, do you have any tips about shot rotation or how to use the pet I should tell them? Any fights that your pet still cant melee on that make the spec not viable?

[Gilg]

My guild raids with a BM hunter as well, and it definitely seems viable for raiding. Easily in top 5 for most encounters, and when their pet crits all party members dmg is increased by 3% for 10 seconds. Very solid results with a shadowpriest since they'll do more dmg, to give even more mana to the group.
