Since I created this and the MM guide as a page, rather than a post (doh!), yeah… I’ll likely update them.

I been playing around with a real raiding BM spec on ptr, it does look a lil better, but I can see 25m raids taking one for the straight buff to the raids damage.

Do you plan on updating this guide for 3.3.3? Or will it even be needed, lol, not sure how many other changes there are just yet.

Dirrtycraig,

You could improve on those numbers with a wolf or devilsaur, but it wouldn’t be a jaw dropping difference. However, If you want to get the most from the spec, then I’d suggest a wolf (for heroics) or a Devilsaur (for raiding). Wolves are great for just about everything, but a Devilsaur’s going to scale just a bit better with raid buffs.

Brahmah,

In that case, pull 3 points from Mortal Shots and place them into Focused Aim. Unless you’re a Draenei (or consistently group w/ Draenei), you need 165 hit rating with 3/3 in this talent. Try to get there via enchants and gems, then as you acquire more gear with +hit, pull points from FA as needed. Each point in Focused Aim is worth about 33 hit rating FYI.

Hope that helps.

This is an excellent article and I thank you. I really like the BM spec and am pulling around 2800-3100 DPS w/ a Sprit Beast and mostly Conquest gear in Lich King Heroics. Not sure if thats good or bad but I typically tend to be #1 or #2 DPS.

Would it be safe to say I could improve those numbers with a wolf or raptor? I really like the Sb’s but maybe I should keep something else in the stable for Raids and ‘roics?

Hi Perceuss.

If you plan on staying BM for sure, then go with attack power.

If you think there’s even a slight chance you’ll want to switch to MM or SV, or if you’re going BM for PvP, I’d say agility. The difference is just so slim now, that I can’t really see the merit in going full AP aside from HC BM raiding.

My 2 cents.

Okay so….now that 3.3 is out what am I gemming AP or Agility?
