Ouch That hurt

OK, so...
I went and ran a metric fsck tonne of heroix last night to get in touch with my inner Survival Hunter. I can report that it is indeed loads of fun ^_^

Some findings just off the top of my head:
- The burst is just insane, you crit as if you didn't know anything else; much <3
- Aggro theft is definitely something to watch out for now. As Pornolio said: L2FDMoar!
- Getting the LnL buff doesn't reset the current CD of your ES, so if you just fired an ES and get LnL you're going to have to wait 6secs until you can fire a new ES and the 2 freebies. The LnL buff last 12secs so don't stress you won't miss out on it.
- Trap Dancing is gonna take a while to get used to. Freezing Arrow does work but not always so sometimes running in to place that Immolate Trap is a good idea... Just be careful of those retarded bosses that have funny abilities that could b1tchsl4p you into next week's raid >_>
- Create a macro for Wyvern Sting; it's your new Intimidation. This puppy will help you save those silly clothies that get themselves into trouble. I recommend something along these lines:
/cast Wyvern Sting
/stopattack
/stopcasting

You can also make it into a mouseover macro if you want which would make the /stopXXX redundant as long as you're not targeting the mob in question in the first place =P



I'll be running Naxx.25 tonight and actually looking forward to it with this new spec. It'll be good to be on top of the meters again and using new toys =D
 
Awsome feedback from my other fellow hunters. I heard Thiart also broke a personal DPS best last night in survival spec on a vault run. :)

On a good note, Blizz blue post admitted that they over nerfed BM to hell and gone, and will most likely fix it by modifying the pet attack speed multipliers.
Well cant say they werent warned.

Nice to hear some people are already doing better with this spec than what they did before. Hope with some gear changes I can atleast get to the dps I had before.
 
I'm hoping to make Patchwerk explode tonight. My personal best was 4.3k DPS as pre-nerf BM in one of our Naxx.25 runs and without a full raid so might've missed out on some buffs (definitely replenishment).
With my gear upgrades since then and hopefully a full raid tonight I should easily push well into 5k dps if not 6k as long as I don't mess up the rotation or get some crappy lag =P I'm HR capped, almost haste capped and my gear is very close to the best it can be pre-Ulduar so don't see why I can't make it ^_^
 
Survival Spec FTW - over 5.5k dps om patchwerk, my bets as BM hunter was 5k, the hunter is dead - long live the hunter!!
