Don't know if this has been updated since the patch but http://worldoflogs.com/rankings/players/Bastion_of_Twilight/Halfus_Wyrmbreaker/25N/dps/. http://worldoflogs.com/rankings/players/Bastion_of_Twilight/Halfus_Wyrmbreaker/25H/dps/

Maybe your Hunter was good or your other members were undergeared. On average, yes Survival Hunters were top DPS, but they were very close with everyone else in the top 8. Not only that but Survival doesn't scale nearly as well with gear as others. Explosive Shot, Black Arrow, Explosive Trap, and Serpent Sting all scale with RAP and not weapon damage.

As it stands now, it looks like Marksmanship is doing more DPS than pre-patch Survival. Where's Blizzard's explanation for that?



Survival was over powered. Nothing too it, there was NO beating the two hunters in my guild(Environ/Grimlokk) and you didn't need to be extremely geared to do high DPS as well has have amazing mobility on bosses. If MM is the new better spec then whats the problem? One of our hunters tested MM on Argoloth was doing 24k DPS not a big difference then when he was surv doing the same.

As for me, http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/dragonmaw/zerhule/simple is still doing fine with enhancement DPS. Getting into the 20k DPS range at the start of a fight and evening out as mechanics play into it.

Surv was OP as all hell, there's really no buts about it. Countless threads on the battle.net forums, BLUE POST from Blizzard devs stating that Unholy DK and Surv Hunter DPS were extremely off par in terms of everyone else, you can look up the post on MMO's bluetracker. They were insane. And WoL updates hourly, and it's been 2 days since the patch now, people have killed Halfus, therefore it's changed.

Meh. My brother got Cataclysm for Christmas and my dad bought a key for the account we share. I really don't feel like playing it though. Other games have my attention, and I know if I start playing it again I will just be svcked into it and as soon as I get home from school it will be WoW-dinner-WoW-bed. When my subscription ran out it helped me to step back and say "Whoa, hold on a minute here." Besides, my guild has probably changed so much 90% of people wont know who I am. If by some miracle I do play again, I will probably create a new character on another server. Due to my connection, it has just been SSDD for my hunter.

DKs are officially over powered. Decided to start one myself and see how they are. Nearly one shotted a feral druid in battlegrounds and was just killing everyone.

Just noticed the "Date" column on those WoL links I posted. Many of them are pre-patch, yet no Survival Hunters.

I'll say it again: Hunters were pretty much in line with everyone else in the top 8. People cried about how much DPS Survival was doing in blues but didn't realize that the jump from blues to epics is a much smaller DPS gain for Survival than other classes will get.

http://stateofdps.com/ Survival is number 1, yes, but it's only doing 776 DPS more than the number 8, Assassination Rogues. Now we have classes post patch doing as much or even more than Survival was doing. Blizzard saying Survival was OP then making other specs, even Marksmanship, do more DPS than it...

The reason I don't like the nerf, even though MM is doing better damage, is because I prefer SV's rotation and utility. But hey, now I'm spec'd MM and crushing what I was pulling with SV.

I really don't care if you want to believe the facts or not, Surv was OP, and ahead of all other DPS specs, thus it was nerfed. Not much els to say honestly. :shrug:

Don't worry MM owns the DPS charts now. Even thought our hunters are still working out their preferences they're still doing 20k on Cho'gall progression.

How much do you think I can get for it? One of my guild mates is offering 12k and I don't think I really need it since I'm solely going to pvp.

That is a best-in-slot ring for mages and some other casters at the moment. You could easily sell it for twice what your guildy is offering you. Advertise it in trade, you'll get a minimum of 20k. Your guildy is being a bit cheeky with his offer.

Good to see MM got buffed. It was always my favorite spec out of the three. On that state of dps site I was actually surprised how high shadow priests and destruction locks average.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/stormrage/squidpunk/advanced Tonight while doing HoO, my Gilnean Ring of Ruination dropped. I was the only one that could use it and it was mostly a guild run, so I needed. Could have sold it for 35K on the AH but I'm not a dike.

Also beat my Aimed Shot crit record today. Hit a mob for 52K.

For Forsaken go to Brill. Look around the stables for the trainer and mount vendor.

Seems totally legit. Blizzard always uses broken english to strike a bond with their customers. :lol:

I've made so much gold in the last 24 hours XD
I leveled up mining on my druid farm alt, and I had loads of ore on me, so I smelted it and gave it to my Warrior, who has had Blacksmithing at 450 since mid WOTLK, and I just now decided to level it up, so I leveled to 525 last night with all the bars from my druid, and I have gotten 21 Chaos Orbs from just doing random dungeons and needing on them even though I couldn't use them yet (lol) and from selling chaos orbs to craft epics for people through BS (I charge 400g an orb, items cost 2-3 a piece) I've made 13k gold from that and the items I made leveling BS off the AH.
Gotta love gold. ;D

Yep. Blizzard always started every email I received by addressing me by name. I don't think they tell you to click links to verify your account either.

In-game I would recommend getting http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/bad-boy.aspx to keep the spam down. It gets updated regularly so I haven't heard anything from a spammer in-game for around a year or so.

Think I am going to work on Archaeology and pray I get the epic troll sword. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/dragonmaw/zerhule/simple is as geared as I am going to get with valor points. Got the cape today, already have T11 gloves and chest for two piece bonus.

Just been farming some honor right now to get my bloodthirsty items. r

Yea...all the minor archaeology rares are pretty much worthless they all last less then 20 seconds...one of them just makes a emote in the chat pane about holding your chimes to the wind.

Archaeology in it's entirety is pretty much completely worthless, and nothing but a time sink.
