So a Fox would be good then? =)
Of course. Assuming all other possible Ferocity buffs/debuffs are covered.
Is there any current consensus on how haste and mastery stack up against one another for BM, or is it still functionally equal in practice?
Thank you
Did we ever come to any kind of consensus about whether or not to use Focus Fire during Bestial Wrath? I recall the norm being thrown into question a few weeks ago, but I don't remember seeing any definitive answer on it.*
Yea, and logistically, I agree with you. I just remember a post (God save me, I can't remember where) when someone was showing that some of the highest BM logs on the web showed that the hunters who did so were using FF without paying any heed to BW. If what the post was suggesting were true, it appeared to either be a DPS wash, or so insignificant that it's not worth micro-managing.*
That was during a time where no one played BM and someone with full BiS and a extremely fast kill got the highest rank on a fight. I played some BM before 4.3 and while my damage was not as high as MM I still ranked pretty much every week on every boss with out a lot of min-maxing and I was far away from BiS.
Starting a new hunter and this guide was very helpfull. Thanks much.
Got a question about Kiril (LFR in my case). How should I manage the proc? Pop BW whenever Fury of the beast is at 10 stacks, even if Frenzy doesn't have 5 stacks? Or just pop other cd during Kiril proc and use BW only with 5 stacks of Frenzy?
I rarely play BM, but when I do, I stack the VP-trinket with BW (although I lose uptime on BW that way, 1:17 CD vs 1:30 CD).
The polearm has a 45s ICD, so if it procs instantly, you can stack every second polearm-proc with BW. In theory.
In practice, that might not work perfectly.
About Frenzy... I dunno, I never pay attention to either Frenzy nor Focus Fire if I pop BW.
The only time you should stack the VP trinket is on Spine, and that's about it. It's really only useful for that short time needed for burst damage. The polearm is NOT on a 45s ICD, but I believe its on a 1min - 55s ICD, I've seen it proc a few seconds before my timer ends. As for frenzy, let it stack and use FF after BW has finished or on CD.
As for Skygoneblue in regards to not using the glyph, it is a DPS loss with out it. Ideally you should use BW off CD and it should line up with your polearm, however thats not always the case.
thank you so much
