Alrighty i'll give MM a try in raiding and give BM a nice run for grinding and soloing. So a spec for MM dps and BM destruction if you please? Yeah ran a H-toc and got the pally instead of confessor will run that place into the ground until i snag my marrowstrike if not grind out badges and snag another piece if possible. Thanks for the suggestions!!!

greyfoxx,

Here's your Marksman build: http://huntsmanslodge.com/the-…..rksmanship

This BM build should work well for PvP, etc: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent…..Vfo:V0kM0z

If you mostly do BGs, then you might want to pick up Improved Revive Pet. Drop 2 points from Thick Hide to pick it up.

Stamp,

Glad I could help.

I'd go with 85AP and depending upon your need for hit, either: 20hit, 10Agil/10Hit, or 10Agil/10Crit.

3.3 is supposed to hit next week, so you may want to hold off on Massacre unless you can afford it. Chances are you may be replacing Marrowstrike with an ilvl 232 2H within a few weeks.

Hey Everybody

Am pretty much new to Wow and everything. Right now I have a lvl 80 and I was wondering the armor you get from doing battlegrounds is a decent set to have or should I do more heriocs and maybe raids for something better?

I am new to the forum and play WoW less than religiously. I have been away from the game for a number of months and want to get my gear up to raiding specs. The problem is that there are so many perspectives on what gear goes with what specs. As I read through the forum, Gar seems to be very helpful and shows great patience. I welcome any feedback on my SV spec and insight into how to "appear" I know what I am doing with the plethora of changes Blizzard has made over the last 6-12 mos.

Sorry about taking so long to respond to this. Must've missed it somehow.

I'd recommend gearing via heroics and emblem items. The BG stuff is fine, if all you want to do is PvP. However, the stuff that's obtainable now by way of the new heroic, and even normal dungeons, is far better.

Just run the new dungeons in both normal and heroic modes, do the weekly raid quest, try for the occasional 10 and 25 man ToC/Onyxia, and you'll be geared in no time.

Welcome AeeCee,

You want agility and lots of it. Once you're hit capped, agility is what you'll be focusing on.

Link me your spec so I can have a look.

Hi All,

I'm new to WOW and was wondering if someone could take a look at my spec. and give me some advice on where i'm going wrong… I'm level 65 and I mostly quest and solo and at the moment send my pet in and then use a ranged weapon. Confused

After looking at your spec, I'm going to assume you probably have a tendency to pull aggro. All of your talent points are placed into areas that buff your damage and not your pet's.

That said, Beast Mastery is generally considered the best tree for leveling, as it will allow for your pet to maintain aggro. The less you have to trap or kite, and the more you can just stand back and shoot while your pet holds the aggro, then the quicker the mobs will die.

Although, If you are really happy as Marksmanship, then might I suggest you grab 2 points in Go for the Throat. That will give your pet more focus and allow it to generate more threat and do more damage.

There are a lot of different ways you could go for leveling, but here's a build that I think may work out well for you:

Make sure to follow the glyph suggestions as well. At 66 start putting your points into the MM tree, grabbing Lethal Shots and Careful Aim as you move down.

Get a bear or croc and spec them like this:

Do those things and you'll be soloing like a madman, reaching 80 in no time.
