]]> Comment on BM PvP Guide – Part 3: Shot priority and other ponderings by Garwulf http://huntsmanslodge.com/5479/bm-pvp-guide-part-3-shot-priority.htm#comment-7121 Garwulf Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:23:05 +0000 http://huntsmanslodge.com/?p=5479#comment-7121 The jump in stats from Deadly to Furious is pretty good. If you have a decent team though, I'd work on replacing all of your stuff with Relentless. As long as you're earning points each week, there's no sense in going for any gear pcs before S7. Your first upgrade should be deadly to relentless chest. After that, I'd look to your off-set pieces. If you have any item slots that would benefit from the added health and resilience, go for replacements there. I try to maintain at least 1K resilience, with a mix of PvP and PvE gear. I equip whatever combination gives me the most bang for the buck. I think the four most important things to keep in mind when gearing for PvP (as a Beast Master)... - 5%-6% hit chance - 1K resilience minimum - Titanium weapon chain - PvP trinket Once those needs are met, just start working on buffing your damage. I always go for my armor first, because I tend to go with what helps me right now. PvE weapons are fine for arena, so I typically wait until after I've got my armor buffed before I start thinking about new weps. The jump in stats from Deadly to Furious is pretty good.

If you were just starting out arenas and had mostly furious with the exception of your chest which is still deadly.....what is your first priority as far as arena gear goes? Should I work on a my Relentless set...then work on weapons and such? Gar quick question.

As a side note if available a Disc Priest is an excellent choice for a Keleseth healer, as you have the greatest chance of being hit by a life-ending blow, an extra 8-9k effective hp from PW:S is a great help.

]]> Comment on Trueshot Aura by Typh http://huntsmanslodge.com/2834/trueshot-aura.htm#comment-7109 Typh Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:32:58 +0000 http://huntsmanslodge.com/?p=2834#comment-7109 Right now, I feel trueshot is fine. Its a simple aur increase at one talent point, while blood DKs and enh shamans need to spend 2/3 talent points, and It won't be on the entire fight no matter what. However, in 3.3.3, they will simply be a passive aura like ours, and thus makes trueshot aura just a less desirable talent, especially if you will always be raiding with an enh shaman or blood dk. However, it's not good to rely on the fact your raid will have one, because PUGs aren't gauranteed to have those classes. It would be nice to see a little self buff like 5-10% more RAP, but they would have to nerf another aspect of our mm tree so it balances out enough. Right now, I feel trueshot is fine.

In BGs where there are no healers (unfortunately) and I'm using my Jormungar appropriately named Dreadscale, I can do top healing, with only affliction locks above me sometimes. In SotA this evening, I had 200k~ healing and I only casted mend pet a few times when I had to rez my pet. Pesky horde focused my worm :( I love spirit bond honestly, acually being one of the reasons I’m BM.

We just downed Blood Princes last week in 25 man, but our 10 man has struggled on our few attempts. This post will no doubt help me, should I be asked to tank him one of these nights. I had a few attempts in 10 man last week, but I think half of us could have used a better crash course on the fight mechanics. Very helpful post. Nice work. This is a great article Solaryn.

Mind you this only works with specific pets. (In my case a crab, which is very popular anyway) /use Medallion of the Alliance (or 13/14, any applicable trinket) /cast Deterrence /cast Pin /use Runic Healing Potion This is terrific when facing a rogue. If you can't target the rogue quickly enough, this is basically a get out of jail free card. As soon as they open on you, you will trinket their stun, use a pot to get your lost health back, your crab (in this case) will root the rogue, and you will be immune to damage. The only thing you need to be aware of is your back facing the rogue. A simple mouse turn of 180 degrees the instant you use it will get you facing the rogue so deterrence is effective. Then you have a few seconds to either disengage, lay a couple traps, etc, whatever you need to do to prepare for the fight. If the rogue vanishes, at least you know he has burned his vanish, (and CoS also if you mark him or sting him) and now you have a chance to drop a flare and are aware of his presence.
