Not sure in all the confusion if I even mentioned that I decided to respec back to Survival for raids on Bzak.
With the surplus of Beast Master Hunters in the world, Survival Hunters are at a premium, and I've done it before and had fun, so I thought what the heck, let's try it again.
I was also prompted to make the change after reading a WoW Forum post by a Hunter named Alumatine (his blog is at nightdrifter.com) who gave a great and very in-depth discussion of the why's and how's of being a Survival Hunter. The best part was the he gave loads of suggested talent specs that he has tried and used with success in the past.
I originally tried his Improved Hunter's Mark (iHM) Barrage spec, which is a 0/28/33 mix, and gives you some high end dps with the Barrage talent and Multi-Shot.
After finally getting the Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle off of Big Bad Wolf on Tuesday night, I decided last night to switch to an Improved Arcane Shot (iAS) spec that still utilizes Scatter Shot, which I had forgotten how useful it was.
It will all require some more testing as I move forward, but I'm loving the big crits again and at first glance, it doesn't look like I am suffering too much.
More to come.
