    I hope all 3 end up relatively close together. Would love to chose the spec I enjoy the most as opposed to which one sims highest.

    Don't worry, Zeherah will put them in, but you can do some math with the results now and find the dps increase of them. It gets the job done at least.

    On a side note: this should make mastery even better for SV.

    ---------- Post added 2013-02-20 at 04:00 AM ----------

    For me the buffs as SV would yield me 4904.364 dps in femaledwarf. BM is simming 6774.89 dps ahead of SV for me so a 1870.526 dps difference. SV looks like it's going to be top imo. SV gets 830.09 dps from the 4 piece and 1248.81 from the 2 piece. BM gets 2343.25 from the 2 piece and 2706.35 from the 4 piece. BM would be losing 5049.6 dps and SV would be losing 2078.9 dps. With the tier bonuses next tier being about even in comparison, but benefiting SV more ever so slightly and the meta favoring SV, SV should be top.


    So with the changes BM is simming 1870.526 dps higher than SV, but will be losing 2970.7 more dps when you start to shed your tier. With the next tier bonuses and the legendary meta benefiting SV it should be top.

    I can't do MM because for some reason femaledwarf isn't simulating the .4 sec reduction. I'll try to get some numbers though.

    If Survival is going to be "top", does that mean that Survival will be far enough ahead of Beast Mastery and Marksmanship to put both of those specs into oblivion, so to speak? Or will people be able to still play Beast Mastery and still be competitive?

    I'm not going to say much about Marksmanship right now.

    BM should be competitive on only single target fights still (like it is now), but SV will have the highest theoretical dps. Only mechanics will change which one pulls more dps though, so we're still going to need to switch a bit. Not sure about mm, have to do some math.

    Can't wait to pvp as Marks again. Surv buff is also welcomed.

    I'll play SV if I have to but wow... that boring spec throughout DS was quite enough. At least BM / MM have some more involved rotations (even if BM is just CD management, it's something).

    Hmm, some pretty good changes, but with none to BM, I think SV is going to be the best spec. I don't necessarily dislike MM but I kinda hope it isn't best for single target, SV is still going to be pretty much required for top dps on multi-target fights, and while gearing for BM/SV is pretty much the same, MM requires haste over mastery. If you're switching back and forth between every fight based on if it's single target or not if MM is top dog single target, that's not going to be good news. That being said, I'm not sure those buffs to SV will put it ahead anyways but I'm sure someone else will figure that our for sure.

    So this proves we were right, and Blizzard was wrong.

    How long have we been saying marks and even surv were behind?

    I wouldn't be too quick to say this unless if MM offers incredible burst compared to BM. The extra trinket BM has is huge.

    I don't know about nature damage, but just have it ignore damage, fits better and it won't be better for survival.
