I have yet to find a really good thread about this, and i've spent a considerable amount of time looking.

Currently I'm specced heavy on pet stuff, as i soloed all the way to 56 pretty much.

Eventually i'm going to have to switch to being a dps machine.

So is 31/20 the way to go?

This is pretty much what i'm looking at

Improved Aspect of the Hawk Rank 5
Endurance Training Rank 5
Bestial Swiftness Rank 1
Unleashed Fury Rank 4
Thick Hide Rank 5

Beast Mastery Total: 20

Marksmanship Mastery
Improved Concussive Shot Rank 5
Improved Hunter's Mark Rank 5
Lethal Shots Rank 5
Aimed Shot Rank 1
Mortal Shots Rank 5
Scatter Shot Rank 1
Hawk Eye Rank 3
Ranged Weapon Specialization Rank 5
Trueshot Aura Rank 1

Marksmanship Total: 31




A question i have though is this: Why is concussive shot better than efficiency? For a PvE build, should I be firing concussive shot at every mob with a chance of stunning and reducing damage?

Is that better than the 10% mana save? How useful is concussive shot? I really only use it when i fight runners (rarely) or in pvp...

Replace Thick Hide(5) with Ferocity(5). If you're going for DPS, +15% crit for pets is huge. My pet has a 23-25% crit rate.

Replace Improved Hunter's Mark(5) with Efficiency(5). Max hunters mark is 110 at 60. 15% of 110 = 16.5 attack power for 5 talent points. That's 8agi, or about 1 dps (14 atk power = 1dps i think).

Efficiency is like adding 10% to your total mana, still not great, but points need to be spent to get further down the tree, and it just doesn't seem worth it to spend 5 talent points for 16.5 attack power.

Plus if you have a w***e warlock like Yanbik in your guild, half the time your hunters mark is overwritten by his 239048234 dots. Razz

Change those 2 and it's the exact template i'm using.

I\'m surprised this thread doesn\'t exist. Maybe it does. Maybe YOU don\'t exist. Maybe YOU ruined your own lands.

I never played any of the new games before when they came out, just EQ and Realm before it. Thankfully I really do not have much interest in trying WoW atm.

Trying my hardest to find a new career so I can move back into NYC with my girlfriend, do not really ever see myself gaming again. If I do start up again, it will mean that my life is back in the s*****r and I am hiding from problems once more...

And you know this because you're playing WoW? The first 60 had something like 7 days played, I have 21 days played so a 60 and a 54 isn't neccesarily a lot of playtime.

Anyway you can add all the skills that you want to try to be cool and might even be damn hard to kill in battle 1 against 1 but in large scale battle it really wont matter how you built your toon.
