BM Hunter talent question

[LavCat]

One possible thing to keep in mind, which i am still testing out . . . . is that Focused Aim does not keep you pet hit capped, so even if you are running with it, you as a hunter may be hit capped, but it is likely your BM pet will not be. I have been testing this out, too see if it is worthwhile to run with a spec of:

I then need to run with all the hit gear to make up for the loss of the talent, but it also does give Inga better dps (my Dino).

So far i have found that this spec, Inga only had dodges and parries, of 2.7% and 0.4% respectively. This was in a 25 man Arcavon run where she was doing 1400dps herself, and i was doing 2200dps, for a total of 3600dps . . . and well my gear it not all that amazing (mostly Heroics, BOE).

Just a thought.

Nope, never used Focused Aim, and at the moment am +8.42% hit, which I realize is a bit much. I plan to re-gem and look for gear with more AP/crit and less +Hit. Also I confess none of my current gear is enchanted.

I ran heroic Nexus last night with one of our guild's top hunters in Naxx gear. My kitty had significantly more hits and crits, in about the same ratio, as his kitty. His cat missed twice, mine never missed at all. But his cat hit and crit for way more damage than mine. His AP is 1000 more than what I have. I don't know if that accounts for all the difference in our pets. I asked this hunter about my two talent points. He felt that 2/3 Cobra Strikes was enough.

He of course out damaged me, but I was ashamed by how much! His crit% was about 5 more than mine. Interestingly over a quarter of his total damage came from volley, and I used volley hardly at all.
