Hey BRK,

Could you suggest some AOE type talents for a hunter if we are going to be specced for this exact type of playing. I’ve tried making a build myself but i don’t have a beta to test it out could you give me some recommendations or a link to your build during this video.

BRK,
Guess what we did? Hopped on the PTR, flew over to STV, tamed ourselves a brand new gorilla, foshizzle, and headed on over to Hellfire Citadel. And in less time than it would take us to get a PUG for the bloody thing we had Ramps cleared, closely followed by Blood Furnace. You know what the amazing part is? No T5! That’s right, with our level 65 gorilla we solo’d BC instances with no problem. Forget farming gold on the Plateau, we’re just gonna head to our nearest instance and have the place to ourselves. Mammoth mount, here we come!
Sincerely,
Driizzt and Wyvar of Shandris
(Wyvar was chillin’ in the stable for this one)

I’ve been leveling Uhk’loc for a few months now and can tell you he never Thunderstomps unless there are 3 or more mobs in the pull.

I was planning on geting a rhino as soon as I got to Northrend but after watching this video I’m not so sure.
Red, what would you recommend as a BM’s tanking pet .. a rhino or a gorilla .. or maybe something else?

Ok ok, so my swipe data was incorrect, the fact remains though that the gorilla wipes out the bear, hands down.

Bear: Swipe
25 focus – 5 second CD
hits 3 enemies for 60-84

Gorilla: Thunderstomp
25 focus – 10 second CD
hits all nearby enemies for 236-334 dmg

So Thunderstomp does roughly twice the damage for half the focus….oh yeah, and it can hit more targets…..oh, and don’t forget the extra threat generation…

I so wanted one of the new bears….now I need to get a stupid monkey….bleh.

Even if you double the swipe dmg, thunderstomp is much better. Quadrupal the dmg and double the CD….thunderstomp is still better. Quadrupal the dmg, double the CD, add a threat bonus….and swipe still loses out. That’s anything but balanced.

The most interesting thing for me in the expansion was going to be the wide variety of pets. Way back in the day I had a one of a kind pet…because no one else trained the thing. Everyone could follow their dream. Now it seems like 90% of hunters on my server (horde and alliance) have a cat….and 75% of them are the exact same cat model. They favored a certain pet, and everyone got it. I’d hate to see them do that again.

I -knew- there was some good reason that I was planning on taming a gorilla as my primary tenacity pet in WotLK…

By the way, for SV hunters, weaving Volley in during Explosive Shot’s cooldown looks like a viable option for even more AoE DPS
