A HUGE MISTAKE YOU MADE FOR THE BM SPEC.....
You need the beast mastery talent for another 4 pet talent points to increase your pets damage.
Exotic pets is not the purpose of the talent.
If you go BM plz get beast mastery so you can increase your pets damage by at least 6% with the 4 points given.
Thanks.
This guide was written b4 3.1 and the added 2 talents for the Pet tree which did make those extra 4 points useless since you could get all the DPS talents for a ferocity pet w/o them, but as of 3.1 that 1 point for the 51 point talent is worth it if you are going BM
also the you just increase the pets dmg by 6%, and they get 20% more of your AP, not your own, but the pet does make up 30-40% of your dmg as BM.\

The first posts were last edited in feb. 2009. Since then patch 3.1 has been released. Are these first posts still up to date?
I ask because I've been researching a SV build. I'm looking into the talents and glyphs. I was surprised that black arrow and explosive shot aren't part of the build. I remember reading posts where black arrow is deemed very important. For example the one where the use of lock and load is challenged.

I was thinking along these lines:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#coZ0eVoohZe00i0cIhxdAhsk
I've taken the build in the first post for SV/raid-dps. I decided I want to take black arrow and explosive shot. And I'mgoing for damage through shots, not traps or cc.
The build in the first post is based on lvl 79 and had 1 point left. Meaning that at level 80 I have two points I can add without deveating from the build.
Personally I'm not wild about hawk eye, but you need three points somewhere to get to the third tier.
I've taken 1 point from Go for the Throat, because that's a pet point (and my focus is shooting). Lose the second point and you can't take improved stings. Although, if Black Arrow is as important as some say the three points might be better spend in resourcefulness which reduces the cooldown and manacost of BA. If so you could lose the second point in Go for the Throat, and put it in say Hunting party which supports explosive shot.
This results in this build:

Yes, this sticky has not been updated for some time. ATM, the top DPS BM spec is looking like this
BM 52/14/5
with a
Devilsaur 20
@Kailhun: 1/2 Go For The Throat is a necessity for every build, without it your pet will become focus starved and won't be able to use it's abilities which will decrease your overall dps =(

Okay, thanks.
So, one point to Go for the Throat.
Another question: how useful is Noxious Stings?
How about this build:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#coZ0eVooZx0ci0cIhedA0su
One point for Go for the Throat. Hunting Party now has a full three points. And I have one point left. I'm thinking another point in Aspect of the Hawk, maybe.
But that depends on how useful Noxious Stings is.
With glyphs:

Since you will basically have serpent sting up 100% of the time, a flat 1-3% damage increase is nice to have. General consensus seems to lead towards hunting party not giving a high enough return per point put into it to justify full 3 points.

Your talent trees are messed up, sir. They show the talents only halfway through the tiers, which I think is not intended.

He hasn't updated this thread for ~4months, hasn't been active for ~2, it's probable he's abandoned this guide.

Haha, randomly dropping points into BM works apparently; Personally I went a mix of SV/MM at the start of BC, I'm guessing you couldn't do worse. :)

Every point into BM for leveling.
Your pet is your trump card.

What is the current end game MM spec then. i cant find it here on the fourms. I know of the 7/57/7 build but i dont know what it looks like.
Also i have been told that Trueshot Aura is pointless due to the talent Unleashed Rage by shamans and also Blood Dks have a talent Abominations might. Do these talents cancel out the affect of Trueshot aura making it useless?

I'd also like to know the current Surival raid spec if possible, the spec there doesn't even have Explosive Shot which is listed in the rotation.
