The Hunting Lodge — ... is what he says at the end. Stating that BM was the ONLY spec for too long, well that’s been the history of WoW, anyone remember Pre-BC when MM was the spec du jour??“If BM becomes too unpopular with these changes, if it becomes no longer viable in PvE or PvP, then we will fix it.

Aspect of the Hare — ... Patchwerk high score of 3300ish, and is in fact a perfect tie of what I got pre-BM Nerf as a blue-clad fresh 80… yeeeah, we probably needed the nerf. /cough I’ve been pretty solidly sold on the virtues of Improved Tracking over Improved Arcane Shot at this point; I’m a little iffy on Survival Instincts though. I think I’ll probably end up moving those two points back into Mortal Shots, or one into Mortal Shots and one into Beast Mastery cause I feel naked without that talent. >.> And now it’s onward to ...
