Been an issue since day one I guess they over look something small as this and require us to find alt . fixes <| sep |> I levelled as BM , stayed BM the first few days as a 110 doing dungeons . The DPS is ok , but the constant switching of your pets onto different targets is hard and costs a lot of dps . A BM hunter has a hard time to do enough damage when mobs arent stacked up . Big plus about BM is the mobility since all your spells are instant cast surviving is really easy . After i switched to MM for M content and raiding I never want to go back , your AOE has a much larger spread , you are very good at switching targets and thus bursting down adds . Currently MM is the best spec for M and raiding content in my opinion .
