Well my talent-build on me huntard is 40/21,………which means getting "scatter shot" instead of "beast within".
BM-build been impressive really-> major dps…….the patches have made MM-builds better though.
Thinking of a respec to MM/surv for a bit of arena-fun. Haven´t really finetuned my talent-build since i turned 70 lol……never bothered.

I was specced as a Marksman hunter right up to level 70 and only respecced to Beastmastery about 8 months ago as I wanted to do more DPS in raids.

However, you need to remember that DPS is not the most important thing for a hunter and if you can’t do your other tasks effectively in a raid you may not get invited again.
So, things to bear in mind when deciding what spec to be are:

1. Crowd control. You may need to trap a mob for long periods of time, up to 8mins on Moroes. So make sure you have ways of keeping the mob occupied while your trap is on cool down. Scattershot, Intimidation, Clever Traps (increases the length of time your of your trap) and Silencing shot (when you want a caster to run onto your trap).
2. Trueshot Aura and Improved Hunters mark give an Attack Power bonus to all the raid classes that benefit from it, enabling the whole raid to down a mob faster.
3. As a BM hunter, if your pet dies, you effectively lose about a 1/3rd of your DPS and unless you have points in Improved Revive Pet, it’s a ten second spell to resurrect your pet. In some situations and bosses, a pet may not be allowed.
4. Silencing Shot is great for…well….er….silencing! Very useful on casters.
5. Most importantly, play your hunter how you enjoy playing. As long as you play it well enough to benefit the raid, Beastmaster, Marksman or Survival all have their uses.

Misdirection is a sign of affection, If I cast it on you it’s because I like you. Honest!
