This was something that I had not counted on, and perhaps should have researched better. <BR/>Once that fact is in place, your additional point about the faster stacking of Rabid makes a ton of sense: faster hits means more frequent crits, and thus better stacking. I will be adding this point to the main text of the post.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03540941337707692453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030718476646308717.post-36985748085884437342008-12-22T00:29:00.000-08:002008-12-22T00:29:00.000-08:00Just a quick comment for you regarding your sugges...Just a quick comment for you regarding your suggestion on skipping Cobra Reflexes: actually - while your overall damage total is higher, threat is higher. Not only that, but as a BM hunter you will likely pick up the Frenzy talent,<BR/>"Frenzy - Max 5 points, gives your pet up to a 100% chance to gain a 30% attack speed increase for 8 seconds after dealing a critical strike." as well as the pet talents "Bloodthirsty" which triggers as a flat % of attacks and "Spider's Bite" which increases crit liklihood hence pretty much ensuring constant Frenzie (30% attack speed=30% dmg).<BR/><BR/>It's really something you can't overlook, should *definitely* go 2 Cobra and 1 Dash/Dive for first tier pet talent tree.<BR/><BR/>Also, this ensures "Rabid: Successful attacks have a 50% chance of increasing Attack Power by an additional 5%, which stacks up to 5 times" stacks up as fast as possible.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
