Hmm, 484.7 dps is very disappointing for a level 77. My BM hunter on the PTR has 500.3 dps and he is still level 70. I guess you didn’t stack much haste?

@ngthagg

That is somewhat correct.
The agility needed per crit scales with levels.
Agility needed per 1% crit for hunters:

Level 70 = 40
Level 80 = ca. 83

I’m surprised at everyone’s shock over BRK’s decreasing crit. First, crit is determined by a mathematical formula, where crit is inversely proportional to level. Crit has *never* increased with level (except for the minor increase in agility). Second, BRK’s crit is lower in the Beta than a typical hunter will be in Nov because he is not doing instances, which where the best loot is located. And finally, BC gear being inferior is a good thing, since the alternative is paying money for the chance to run old content for gear.

Remember people, it’s not having amazing stats that makes the game fun. (Otherwise we would be spending hours staring at the Armoury.) It’s *getting* that gear!

Da Crit? But 2600 AP?

Kinda look like LK went back to the 2 ap for one point of agility standard, but nerfed agility’s contribution to crit.

It’s good to be able to relax and spend some time “worrying” about crit and ap in VERY SERIOUS economic times…..

may I just vent a moment and say

^&#$@(%^$*&! Derivatives!!!!!
“Sophisticated Financial Instruments” my Tauren Butt!
Actually Russian Roulette investments done by the country’s five largest investment banking firms at 40-1 leverage starting in 2005…. and only one of those firms still stands in previous form and ownership….and the crazy infection spreading to the broader commericial banking and financial sectors. With millions of dominos teetering….essentially the same thing that brought down Orange County about 14 years ago…just on a MUCH larger scale.

But one way or another, we’ll survive it all.

Sincere apologies for the grossly off topic comment…back to WOW

Oh yes I do! Ah the beautiful music of “Boom!”
/cue tear.

I agree about the skull, but at least it isn’t a rainbow. This won’t induce laughter when you point it at them.

It is just lovely.

Congrats on the gun and the lovely scope.

@raymaker

a quick glance at the armory shows that BRK’s unbuffed crit on live is actually almost 27%, meaning that just leveling without replacing any gear has dropped the percentage almost 10% — a huge Fing decrease.

I’m thinking this means that prospective survivalists are gonna get to play the “most gear-dependent hunter spec” game again in the xpac…

@N I don’t think he plans to raid. He said he wants some surprises when it goes live.

Gratz, BRK. I can hardly wait to get a gun again!
