BM without the T17 4pc

[ShasVa]

Is BM a viable spec to play without the T17 4pc? I guess this would apply for the near-future T18 2pc and 4pc too since they're just as awesome.

I'd be willing to give Normal+ a go in order to try for the required pieces (seems less stressful as DPS).

But to the core point, how does BM spec go without the current tier bonuses?

Works just fine.

But to give yourself the best answer just sim your character for active and inactive spec and see for yourself.

My second hunter is simming 2k higher with BM then with SV even without bonuses.

Guess it depends a lot on how much mastery you have for BM and how much multistrike you have for surv
