Every couple of months I try to refine it a bit more, try new addons, chuck ones that I don't find useful anymore, etc... I'm actually working on an updated version of this one right now. http://huntsmanslodge.com/4238/the-garwulf-ui-v-3-0.htm I'll post info about it as soon as I'm happy with it. :) Petrify,

Here's the question, Garwulf -- Where'd you get the sexy UI? I've tried Xperl and Grid and blahblahblah but I just get frustrated with all the crazy settings. Are you running many addons at once to get your UI like that? Let me know! Petrify -- Llane Alright, I know this is a little bit off topic…but –

No, it says it isn't. And if it was, that would be stupid because overall damage for an entire raid means NOTHING get it through your head. No one cares how many volleys you got off on trash. It's dps on bosses, dps that decides whether the boss dies or not, that really matters. By the way, hunters from my guild were topping 7k on patchwerk during 3.0. This date indicates that Ulduar is out. Lol at people asking “is that overall dps for the whole raid?”

Recount gets bogged down with data after awhile, and since I run more than a few addons I like to keep things to a minimum. The second reason is that I find it useless to track overall data. Boss fights are where maximizing your DPS matters most. Trash pulls don't help progression nearly as much as downing a boss. While it can be fun to glance down and see Recount hitting 7K on some trash, it's really inconsequential Imo. My average in Naxx is probably around 4.8K I'd guess. Most boss fights have me between 4.6k to 5k. @ Dalaila There's no denying it... I'm still a Beast Mastery Hunter. I parade around as MM when I'm raiding, but the rest of the time it's BM. While I do enjoy MM, I'd prefer to be able to spec BM again if the damage was competitive and the majority of fights were pet friendly. However, I do like farming mammoth meat in the Storm Peaks while specced MM. That's good times. Drop a frost trap in front of the herd, Volley and collect the goodies. @ Sylmae I think MM/BM is a great dual spec. I love being able to buff my raid with the extra 10% AP, while also being able to contribute a good amount of personal dps. Like you, I enjoy being able to pull my exotic pets out when I'm not raiding. Even if we didn't have special pets I'd still spec BM just because I like it so much, but having pets unique to our spec is a bonus. I reset after each boss fight for two reasons.

Thanks for making me feel good about it again! :) I'm not pushing 5.7k (except AOEing trash at the beginning of Spider Wing rofl) but I am the only raiding hunter in my guild and am proud to be frequently tops on the DPS meter, and still able to spend quality dailies-time with my Loque'Nahak.

Is that overall DPS or dps on Patch only? What's your overall dps while running the raid? I generally float around 4300. More if I get good buffs (raid composition).
