Alright everyone, listen. I am a somewhat seasoned raider. I have beem BM for all of my raiding career. I have been through all of kara, most of za, gruuls, majority of ssc, and 3/4 tk (I anticipate bt/hyjal some time after 2.4 :P. On top of this I have done extensive research on the class through guides, forums, and even speaking with some of the top hunters in the game. In equal t4/t5 level gear, a BM hunter who knows what he is doing and how to keep his pet alive will undoubtedly out dps a MM hunter. It is tested and proven. However, in t6 gear the dps tends to even out. Even so, BM provides a superior group buff (FI) to TSA and are generally more valuable to a raid than a MM hunter.  The purpose for a SV hunter in a raid is EW, which is one incredible raid buff.

@ OP’s armory. You are terrible -.-. You gemmed AP over Agil and even used stam gems in PvE gear. It’s embarrassing.

@ All the un-experienced hunters trying to argue that MM is superior dps because it increases ranged damage, please learn to play the class and get some raids under your belt before you come shouting about what is superior dps.
