A question about BM builds (but not your glass canon build). Now that Improved Aspect of the Monkey adds 6% (at max) dodge chance to Aspect of the Monkey AND Aspect of the Dragonhawk, should we consider putting 3 points into that? That makes us have 27% dodge chance with Aspect of the DragonHawk. Hope you answer. =] I just hit 80 today and was adjusting my talent points and saw that now it adds into Aspect of the DragonHawk and thought it might actually be good now.

@Frostheim

He can remove two points but they would be from the bloat of the deep of the tree, and not Spirit Bond (it’s needed to go further into the tree). Though I personally would have put those two in Imp Pet Mend cause I heal my own pet more than anyone else in instances.

Thanks for the advice, its Cobalt Slicers for me.
Also I was sad to see the Mark S Boomstick is BOP, as my hunter is not my engineer. Sad because I didnt read it was BOP and made 2 Boomsticks. Oh well I got 2 skill ups at any rate.

Since I have no Spirit Beast, I run a cat with a similar set up
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=ctbMztxRwu0esx0eVbZL
no Beast Mastery, no Spirit Bond
1/2 ImpMendPet for the 25% chance cleanse
4/5 tracking
Thinking about dropping Longevity to 2/3 to fill out Tracking but I’m not sure on the math.

And yes, people must just not be looking at the Cobalt Slicers in regards to all this other stuff they’re linking..
Finding a BS isn’t that hard. Grinding gold (quest reward gold for that matter) is not hard to come by.
These things last well into your raiding career in Wrath.
They’re better than most of the other stuff you can get and easier to acquire too.

I got to start running Heroics, I have literally only replaced 3 items and I’m sporting anything that I would not have considered high end stuff.

Regarding the 51 Points – The biggest boost, to a certain extent, is the extra 4 points for the pets. Allows a lot of different combos for getting all 3 major talents at the bottom of the tree. The exotics are just a nice bonus.

When AOE farming or clutch tanking, my gorilla with 4 extra points gets really nice heals from mend pet, and seems to hold Aggro much better. I’m not seeing a huge improvement in my cat, but its a regular old Shy-rotam, not a fancy spirit beast (which look really nice).

I’ll be working on tracking one of those down once I hit 76/77 and can get into sholazar basin…

@ BMPvPhunter

I don’t think anything has been proven yet. SK gaming ( can’t remember the new name) hunters are all using the 54/17 or the one BRK has here from what I have seen. All the hunters on my server in the top 2 guilds have the 51point

Why isn’t anyone asking why you take the exotic pets at all if you’re discussing his gear in a min/max way? 50/21 is a higher hunter+pet dps build, no?
