I wonder if it was a mistake last night to change out my alot of my AP gems for AGi gems
Someone else corrent me if I'm wrong, but I think it's pretty much the consensus that AP gems are best suited for BM hunters over AGI. However, and I don't know how important this is to you, but come 4.0 AP is going bye-bye, so you might as well stay with AGI gems at this point. It's my guess that AP gems will convert into AGI, anyway come Cat.
Keoke, I can't keep up with all your gear changes. Grats, dude. I am thrilled you got the leggings, too, and grats on downing Rotface.
Kuro, that is my understanding as well; he's dual spec'd MM and has a split of AP and AGI gems, so perhaps that is where he is going.
Keoke, what were you running for dps for the night? and how did your overall damage look compared to other hunters?

Yes Bliz has stated that as well and how it is currently working on the PTR.

Yea, hopefully I do have alot more gear changes, and upgrades happening, lol
Thank you Takaas, for your advice, I change back to mirror of truth and it was quite a difference. I did change out my glyph, Hunters Mark, and put in Serpent Sting, but ended up changing it again to hawk, because it showed up as being slightly better, dps wise. My overall change in dps, just from the couple of changes, finally putting a wicked ametrine gem in my neck, and slightly tweaking my tree, to be more in line with the raiding specs. And redid my pet specs, and I was over 1000k more dps. I did an ICC 10 last night and I was still below the other 2 hunters, but one was SV, and the other MM. But I was still 3rd and 4th in damage done. They were surprised that I was doing fairly well in BM. I notice in one fight my dps was 7k. that must have been a fluke, because the rest of the night in various fights, I was about 4k to 5k depending on if there was alot of moving, and if I was responsible for orbs, and suppressors, my numbers would drop to 3.6k to 4k. So overall, I believe my average was about around 4k+. I did try MM and my dps was 3.3k far lower than BM, but that may be the fact that I don't know it well, or I'm just not geared, and gemmed as well for it. So back to BM 🙂 Hopefully I can get a LDW bow to drop soon. But is there anything else I can do? Maybe I need to macro, a shot rotation, instead of being a clicker. What would that be for a Raiding BM?
Thank you so much everyone for the great help and advice. Thank you Niika for your words of encouragement
hit Gar's spec and advice here on the site for shot rotations and macros. They are a really good start.
Hey, if you get a LDW bow to drop, can you whisper her and have her tell Saurfang that Niika doesn't want to be the Last Hunter Standing with the Northern Lights pants? Maybe he's just pissed at me for the way I treat his blood beasts.
Pretty sure that your MM is far lower merely due to practice. Also, I mix both macros and regular clicking. I'm a button spammer for some shots, and weave in others. It's going to sound funny, but when there's a boss fight, I fight two handed. (take THAT drach!)
So I got a better chest tonight, so sweet.:)) My dps a soo much better. Tonight I was averaging 4.5k to 5k non ICC dungeons. I do have a question though. I was doing ToC tonight, and I got as high as 4.8k, but for the most part I was averaging 3.6 but I was having to really move around alot, and then I was concentrating on those back jumpers, and various other things. My question is, someone from the raid got butt hurt, and left us, then was posting recounts and telling everyone how lame the groups dps was. So was it? and what should my dps average be in ToC 10?
