Hey there fellow hunters,
I recently decided to try BM, although I hate the concept of it. You know, feeling of "half ranged, half melee" fight, pet's being retarded, rotation based on cooldowns and so on. However, the DPS gain over SV was enough to suffer those atrocities This thread is not about that.
What should I pick, Powershot or Glaive Toss? From what I've heard there is no reason to use a different talent than GT in all specs (MM excluded, you simply don't pick any talent there since you don't play it). However, I found out that Powershot sums up to higher dps than Glaive Toss on Recount. The cast time is a problem indeed, but BM gives you 2 ways to hasten things up, Focus Fire and Rapdi Fire, therefore the cast is very short when used properly. And the focus cost of Powershot is another point - you waste much more with Glaive Toss, and with BM finding yourself too low on focus when Kill Command is avaiable is a real dps loss.
So, what do you think? Is Glaive Toss still a way-to-go and no-brainer, or is Powershot a good option as well?
