♦ About Me ♦
I will present myself , im a teenage girl who have played Molten WoW for a year now, and still does..
♦ About Beast Master Spec ♦
BM - Beast Master spec one of the 3 Hunter specs, Specs basic point is - Hunter Pets. The main point is to inc pets Damage / hp / Def. On retail BM spec is also used for soloing and known to be good lvling spec.
- Here can you see that pet is out-damage auto shot-, but it happens when u get higer items gear (GS).
- Easy to play?
This spec may sounds easier then the others specs, but it isnt so easy has it looks like - it req some skills to be able to master it.
- BMs on Molten.
BM hunters has been quite popular PvP spec in molten, not so popular in Pve tho.
♦ Spec ♦
- Reason why i dont show spec, is bc i think ppl should buide their own, but i will explain the spec abilites so it gets easier to make ur own.
- When you know all the abillity effects of all the skills --> Just by looking at the icon then u have learned the skill's effect, and u can start make ur own perfect build for ur styile.
- The BM spec is clear and easy 2 understad, but to be able to smash out the true damage from it , it req some knowlege about BM hunters skills and pets.
(will add more about skills abilitys)
♦ Glyphs ♦
- Glyph of Bestial Wrath - You must have --> Reduse the cd timer of ur Beastial Wrath
- Aimed Shot (quite usefull in PvP) --> Reduse ur cd of Aimed shot
- Kill Shot (Nice in PvE) ---> Reduse Kill SHot cd.
- Glyph of the Hawk(Good to have in PvE) --->Increasing the haste bonus of the Improved Aspect of the Hawk talent by 6%
BM Hunter Minor Glyphs:
- Glyph of Mend Pet --> chance to increase your petÔÇÖs happiness.
- Glyph of Feign Death --> usefull in both PvP -PvE ---> Reducing the cooldown of Feign Death
♦ PvP ♦
In pvp Bm spec have many abilites to save urself, which make it quite use able spec in pvp, spec comes w many buff abilites, such has Beastical Wrath which is the strongest "buff-skill" in BM.
Ide for Settings - PvP - Best make ur own but..its how mine looks like.
- Yellow: its ur debuff abilites, always try to keep those up ur taged.
- White: Pets abilites, show them on ur screen.
- Green: Traps, nice to have up - In pvp u have to Kite alot.
- Ligth Blue: Ur Buffs, use has much has u can, but keep in mind that u have to save some CDs as well.
- Purple: Trinkets.
- Gray - Def abilites, use to save urself.
- "Tips: having a clear Skills Bar makes it easier for you to see ur spells/skills".
♦ Gems For PvP ♦
1 / 3 of ur damage is from ur pet, and in pvp ur pet will out damage ur autoshot, which mean for more damage u gotta inc ur pets damage and there is 2 types of gems that can help ur dps.
900 - 4900 GS - Stack Agility
4900-5500 GS - You can start gem Attack power for more damage , if you want.
Why use Agility gems at low GS?
-At low gs your gear lack Crit and pets hp isnt the best either, so best stat for you is agility, when ur gear gets better your crit and pets hp will inc has well.. Then u can change to attak power for more damage.
Agility and Attak Power Gems.
Agility:
- Inc Bow Damage -> Atk Power -> Pets Damage
- Inc Pets Armor
- Inc ur Crit rate
Attak Power:
- Inc Pets Damage and ur"Ranged Atk Power"also called Power -> Inc Ur Damage and pets
- Inc pets spell power damage -> Inc pets skill damage -> pets abilites will do more dmg .
Agility VS Attak Power :
Pure attak power gems will out damage Agility, but the damage diff isnt huge so when you choose gems , u have to think of what u gona do / use.
- Like if ur Hunter that like to have pet w much defence , go for agility - It inc pets armor.
- Or maybe ur the one who wants hige dps then stack Attack power.
(Picture + More info later)
♦ PvE ♦
Bm is sadly not the higest dps dealer spec, but when it comes to PvE its still useable, u can do good damage in PvE but it req skills and quite good gear/gems and Wep to be able to do it. (better in end-game gear)
- I have seen ppl say BM is useless in PvE but thats wrong, even tho it does less damage u have abilites MM and SV dont have and ofc the 3% damage buff.
How to be able to smash out true dps in PvE has BM Hunter:
This is fact that few ppl know, and its time to show it - in BM spec u see most of the abilties relay on "buffs"...and its a reason for that.
- Both Hunter and Pet have diff buffs, the kay is to link those buff 2gether so u make all ur buff work at same time for ultimate full - "HIGE damage".
Like when Cobera Srike show up --> use BW + all ur pets buff abilites = then u have used ALL buff at same time.
-So ur true damage lay in way u use ur buff and ofc u must always keep up "Serpent"
For exp: [Send pet] Serpent (keep it up) --> Concussive shot (inc damage of Steady Shot, keep it up all the time) --> Spam use Stady Shot.
- At same time Controll Pets Buff and urs-
♦ Gems for PvE ♦
If u gona start be BM hunter in PvE, u req good gems, Agility may be the best if u have Low gear score, cuz it helps ur crit, low GS PvE gear have a lacks of crits and hit rate.
When u get higer GS -> better gear u can start Change to Pure Atk power gems.
- Arp in PvE has BM Hunter any good?
Sadly Arp does not share w Pets, and since ur pet is ur main dps output it will reduse ur damage quite alot.
and u alredy get bit arp from gear.
♦ About BM Stats ♦
(Picture)
Most important stats for BM is "ranged Atk Power" -> ur Power, it inc pets spell damage and atk damage -> pets main dps output.
Atk power gems inc thet state good and thats why its quite usefull for bm hunters.
♦ Pets ♦
This is ur main output damage which mean u must have learned how to controll pets skills/abilites to be able to use BMs true damage, so it req skills in Spec/Pet choose.
When ur BM ur pet grows together w your character -> better gear u get -> better gets your pet, but it comes to point in endgame where pet will outdamage ur skills.
Pets HP:
This is my lowbe hunter - her pet has only 10k - her GS is 3.9k(unbuffed)
Here is my main character , this pet got much more hp, because of the gear - 5.7 GS (unbuffed)
- Whats best pet?
Well in WoW pets damage are quite equal to eachother, but their buff and skills are diff, so when you choose pet u need to think of which job you want the pet to do.
- Dps list (here is a tested dps list of which pet that "does more", the diff betwean those are little)
1. Devilsaur
2. Wolf
3. Raptor
4. Spirit beast
5. Cat
(more info about those 5 pets buff/abilites comming soon)
♦ Pet's Spec ♦
- Ferocity Spec - Pure DPS Spec - This is an idea how i build mine, u may have diff wiew on it.
One of the 3 pet specs, ferocity its a popular pet spec used in PvE and even in PvP.
The spec gives buff to you and ur pet .
- Hart of the Phoenix: which is a skill pet can use when it dies to come back in life - i find it quite usefull in Pvp such has Bgs/arenas.
-Culling of the Herd: it inc your damage 3% if pet crits for 10 sec.
-Cobra reflexes: It inc pets atk speed - but each hit will does less damage.
-Charge: it inc ur pets damage by 25% - on next attack/skill it does - also make pet jump on ur taged(nice in pvp and solo pve, in PvE squad - it may steal agro from tank)
-Spiked Collar. Inc pets additonal damage by 3%
Cunning Pet Spec:
(Ignore the points, just picture i found)
- Feeding Frenzy: Inc pets damage by 16% when taged has 35% health.
- Wolverine Bite: --> make pet do critcal hit and it cannot be dodged, blocked or parried.
- Wild Hunt: pet buff. The one point will get your pet an additional 20% of your Stamina contribution, as well as a 10% Attack Power increase.
Tenacity Pets
- Charge: help pet hold aggro
- Great Stamina - Inc pets HP --> bugged on molten
(i will talk about the other abilites to/ + which one is bugged on motlen)
There are 3 diff pet types/classes for diff jobbs, so there is 3 diff specs.
(More info later)
- Cunning Pets
Those pets are PvP build , have abilites to slow down taget , usefull pets for ppl who likes to kite. MM and SV hunter use to pick this type.
- Spiders
- Ravagers
- Birds of Prey
- Bats
- Dragonhawks
- Chimearas
- Ferocity Pets:
Popular PvE pet and for lvling, cuz of the buff abilties it comes whit and it also are the type that have the higest damage.
- Wolves
- Devilsaurs
- Cats
- Spirit beasts
- Raptors
- Waps
- Hyenas
- Tenacity Pets
Known to be the tank pets in WoW, they does lowest damage but have aggro and def abilites in spec, used for Soloing and Lving - sometimes in PvP.
- Bears
- Crab
- Boars
- Crocolisk
- Worm
- Rhinos
♦ Bm has Lvling spec ♦
Why BM is good for lvling?
- Mostly bc of the "abilty to heal ur pet", like pet work has a tank and the hunter is the healer , which mean u can kill more mobs at same time w/o dying, also u can tank some of the quest elites/bosses for urself.
(In BM spec pet gets more def / hp, thats why BM pets are able to take more mobs)
How to kill many mobs at same time?
1. First u have to make mobs aggro ur pet instead of urself, which mean let the pet hit bit on mob before u heal it.
2. Swift pets taged to another mob, let it hit 1-2 times then pull another one.
3. When u have 3-4 mobs / dont forget to heal pet sometimes, if it DPS pet it req more heal then tank pet.
4. Hit the same mob that pet is atking.
5. If u get agro from -> use trap -> run away from mob while pet tries to catch up -> slow down the mob to make pet get agro.
6. If u have Feigth Dead ability Use it.
♦ Soloing Instances ♦
Soloing instances is not so popular in molten wow, more used in retail wow, in retail pets are able to solo instances such has ICC and other hige lvl instaces.
But on molten it dont work quite well , mostly bc pets dont get buffs ..and also some bugs w pet's HP.
- But has lvl 80 you are able to solo some lvl 70 raids and instaces below that lvl.
(Instaces/Raid that are solo able - add them later)
♦ Rare and Spirit beasts ♦
Some roll Bm Cuz of those pretty looking rares and spirit beasts, to be able to use pets other hunter specs dont allow you to use, such has Spirit beast, chimearea, core hound...
I myself are a Spirit Beast collector and its one of the reasons why i do play BM, i love collect rares. mosly bc u have work hard to get them.
- Rare respawn timer: - Rare beasts have Re-spawner of 6- 12 hrs, some of the lower lvl rares have less hrs. (So it may take time to get one, unless ur lucky one)
