@ Rob – while I appreciate the sentiment, what you have to understand is that I am not a theorycrafter, and this is not a theorycrafting blog. When I make posts discussing my position in the raid it is not meant to be a theorycrafting post. Rather, it’s meant to be a post saying “I had good results with this, perhaps you should try looking into it as well.”

My DPS does not exist in a vacuum, I only ever PuG things so it’s hard to make raid-by-raid comparisons because the raid composition is vastly different each time. I can’t analyze my DPS under those circumstances. Nor do I want to spend much time doing so. I fear that if you want lots of math and theorycrafting you will have to look elsewhere, my friend =(

We BM hunters need to do more theorycraft, or even ancidotal evidence. Please for the love of god stop posting “I was Xth place in the raid”, it means nothing. What is meaningful is saying “I did 100 more dps than last time using X rotation”. Numbers matter, ranking does not. If there was a bunch of ret palys in the raid it’s possible or likely they out dps you even if they suck. Meanwhile if there is a lock you can be reasonabley sure you you will out dps them. Compare yourself to yourself.

(Sorry to be harsh, i love this blog, but this really annoys me).

Love reading your blog Pike, but for future reference, Nihilium is no more. Kungen (Nihilium guild leader) merged them with SK Gaming. The new guild is Ensidia. Still on Magtheridon EU server.

Its fun though, right!
I dont do much in the way of instances, but have done a few lately.
The 25 man Naxx was a hoot, as I would be one of the first to hit the mat, what with my lag issues. I would be dead before I saw the wave, hehe.
My gear is mostly (read 99%) Swiftarrow crafted gear.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUlliMso570 might help you out. He explains the fight quite nicely.

Because I have a horrible obsession with learning every single way to do a fight, I spend alot of time watching youtube videos on them. Ciderhelm is definitely one of the best at explaining how things generally work for everybody. (He’s got explanations up for other Naxx fights, as well.)

Did 10 man Naxx as BM this weekend, ended up number 2 in front of a SV spec hunter.

BM is surely raid worthy again.

I did a 10 man naxx last week with my new guild. they are all ususally doing 25 mans so they are much bettere geared than me. I had respecced BM and I was coming in th top 5 for DPS.
I am very happy with that given that I am not great geared for Naxx and they were all over geared for 10man.
<3 love having my spirit beasty back.
