Gah! Yeah, my guild is having trouble getting that buff.

We have a mage, but he blows at arcane, and no Pally.

edit: Awesome video.

[joeyc101]

Yea, we tried with hunter as SV and mage as arcane. AOE turned out to be roughly equal, but we needed the mage's Blast Wave for adds in P2.

[Serj Tankian]

Hmm.. Very interesting. Thanks for the video. Congrats on the kill too.

We're going to start working on HC:MoD soon. Nice to see a PoV for Hunter.

Congrats! And here I thought the fight had to either be done with 1tank/3heals or 2tanks/2heals.

At a second glance, your feral tank is doing 55k? I'm just going by the setup you say in the info area.

I am not the hunter, I am the prot paladin, just posting this because our hunter doesn't have an MMO account.

Yea we did it with 3 healers, 2 tanks, although our feral tank is going cat quite a bit. He took first impale on all platforms, and the bloods, other than that he was mostly dps'ing.

Alright thanks, do you know if he was in cat gear/spec in the slightest?

[Dathedral]

Awesome video. I got stuck playing BM as well for the darn 3% buff, though I can't really complain for the fact that its a fun play style.

[joeyc101]

He was in full cat gear except for a trinket, head/shoulder enchant and meta gem. Besides that he was fully agility gemmed. Bear specced tho.

Thanks for comments, guys!

Overall, your hunter gave your raid a stunning 12.3K raid dps more, by the way. You guys did 411K together, subtracting 3% from that would be ~400K. Considering how the highest surv hunter is up doing 79K, I'm not sure you made the right decision.
Nonetheless, grats on the kill!
One question though - why do you not keep an add alive to proc spellweave faster on the bloods, + lower the "singletarget dps" requirement on that add (dies from spellweave)? Would help on enrage, surely?

[joeyc101]

Even if SV might have helped a bit on the enrage timer, it proved easier to handle bloods because of more available cd's, or something. I'm no hunter. As for saving bloods for spellweave, I think we dropped that tactic, because the gain was minor and it was more controllable not to do it.

SENIX Bro !

Congrats to the kill but you made some serious mistakes. You have delayed KC pretty often and your CD management wasn't that good tbh.

Ruansohnje, you haven't even tried Madness of Deathwing heroic yet, as you're still at 6/8. As you have no experience on that fight I can give you some basic information. You should know that the pet gets killed plenty of timse and you have to break the rotation several of times to move it, and as Beast Mastery you should know that the pet plays a really big part of your dps. So I have to ruin my rotations plenty of times to move around my pet from different aoe abilities etc so it does not die, and by not having the pet close to a target = No KC.

One of the other reasons I do not have kill command as top priority, is because it does not procc any spellweave. It is only some times I skip it on cd.

MY CD's are not used whenever its ready. The reason for that is because I save them for the hard dps parts, for example the blood aoe in p2. I know that I could optimize more dps if I was to play by the book, but then we might have a problem with the parasites, blood and tentacles.

At least try a fight before you start complaining on someone..

[timoseewho]

One question though - why do you not keep an add alive to proc spellweave faster on the bloods, + lower the "singletarget dps" requirement on that add (dies from spellweave)? Would help on enrage, surely?

Can you explain how this works?

[Dracodraco]

Can you explain how this works?

Keep the terrors alive till the blood spawns, drag them into the middle and aoe off of them (multi shot, pre-disease and pestilence for dks, etc) them. They will add another 2 targets for spellweave procs, and they themself will take the spellweave damage from the bloods, effectively taking them to about 50% hp, just from aoecleaving. You also get more dmg on the adds due to more spellweave from more targets :d.

Gratz man good job

[Asaki]

That's one hell of a good job there as BM hunter. Tried playing it tonight as BM and I got annoyed like hell with the pet control the whole time.

[Jaydenkor]

Im working on spine atm, and am unlikely to play this as BM due to 25man, but I was wondering what the OP is talking about regarding having to move the pet to avoid it getting killed.. as in.. killed by what? The pet takes zero dmg in normal, and as far as I knew, the new heroic mechanic doesnt do something funky on the pet either.. ?

TLDR: as survival, wtf might kill my pet? how do I avoid it?
