Input on bm.

[Tristén]

Hey guys im looking for info on bm... Im going to switch bm because our ret pally just quit wow for a lil to handle rl issues, i pull about 6.5k dps or higher depending on the fight and buffs.. if full buffed I could pull 7k as surv...
but I was thinking Id help out the guild if I were to go bm and get the 3% damage buff for the raid I was thinking that would help out more instead of me losing 1-2k... so saying that any help on gems, glyphs, spec, and pet? Im thinking as bm I would at least pull 5k and I got the gun from ony 25 which I figure is one of the best for now until I get weapon from togc 25

BM isnt too too bad. I probably would do the same in your situation. Although its several thousand behind on the spreadsheets, when playing its not as great of a difference because your pet accounts for more of your damage, so player error has less of an impact.

I know as BM you want to always gem AP because it transfers to the pet very well.

shot priority:

kill > arcane > multi > SrS > SS

turn off your pets growl (obvious reasons) but also cower so it wont waste a GCD on it

also make sure call of the wild is turned off (save it for boss fights) and make a macro to use it when YOU want to instead of when "fluffy" wants to :P

as stated before, gem AP as opposed to Agi but continue to use the Agi/crit bonus meta as you normally would

use the +10 stats gem to activate the meta, but use it in either a blue or yellow socket that you need the bonus for (Agi, AP, or crit)

Its a good spec. But whoever Balanced the DPS Between MM/Surv and BM should get a pay cut until its Balanced. (I am placing bets that they wont buff it because Beast Cleave had a chance in PVP (Damn PvP nerfing PvE)

With the new pet scaling in 3.3, you'll want to go to agility.

That may take some time though, and I am aware of that.

My brother is usually BM for raids because my paladin is tanking half the time.


He pulls around 5k dps and gives us a nice buff



Plus he has a nerdgasm every time he can use a T-Rex

nah ill probably stick with AP as BM.... both my pet and i crit a decent amount as is... *shrug*

plus i get more AP from AP gems than i do from AGI gems which (at least for now) seems to get the job done for me

also, being BM... my ferocious inspiration and frenzy (for my pet) is constantly up
