Thanks for the quick posting

Looks like you burn down mobs faster than MM, im i right? your focus bar doesnt go below 70% ever on the video

I have a question, why dont you use AotDH instead of AotH?

Blizzard did a patch yesterday, lowering a lot of focus costs. It all works a lot better now, so hence I do more damage. And lastly, I'm getting a bit more used day by day =) At start, it felt like I Ebayed my character lol, cause it was all so new yet I had lvl 80.

About Aspect of the Dragonhawk, I couldn't find it in my spellbook. I believe Bliz isn't using Monkey or Dragonhawk in Cataclysm anymore.

[Sim]

Monkey got removed in the lastest build and talents are only benefiting AotH.

[Yuuhub]

AotDH was removed. Our standard spec is back to AotH again.

One quick question: How much does Kill Command usually hit/crit for? How is it compared to Arcane Shot? (BM spec)

Cheers

tyvm for uploading a vid of Cata BM, I didn't fully understand the changes to kill command until now. Are pet talents any different from WotLK?

My Kill Command crits for about 13-14k. Though the crit chance is very low. I'd say it's less than 10%. I'm guessing it's because bliz hasn't done a pass on pets yet. At 83 in green/blue cata gear I have about 55k hp and my pet only has like 23k.

I can't remember what arcane crits for. I'm thinking about 8-9k. I'll check when I get home.

Is BM getting a "signature" shot?

BM's "signature shot" is Kill Command. We still don't have a shot unique to our spec.

Yeah, it's the new Kill Command and supposedly Cobra Shot gets some benefits in BM and regens more focus.

No, interestingly enough, BM signature shot will be cobra shot.

Cobra Shot will not be unique to BM however. We have yet to see anything close to the benefits to BM to use CS over SS that Blizz promised way back in the original class previews when CS was first revealed as well... IIRC, BM was supposed to get talents that increased it's damage to make it purely superior to SS and it was supposed to get tied into Longevity to make it nearly haste capped without any haste rating.

I kind of like that Kill Command is looking to really become our "signature shot" so to speak since it really fits in well with the whole idea behind the BM spec. As long as it does somewhat comparable damage to Chimera/Explosive Shots, then I will be happy with it :3

Survival will be using cobra, as well as marks using it in pvp against armored targets.

Kill command is much more like chimera and explosive shot in my eyes.
