From a raiding stand point I’ve had a pretty good week. I started a 25 man Naxx raid and went through the Spider Wing before I had to go to sleep. My new belt dropped so that made me happy.
Then, yesterday (Saturday) my guild did a 10 man Naxx run. We finished the Spider Wing and did most of the Military Quarter. We stopped after wiping against the 4 horsemen twice. A lot of people kept dropping and everyone we were trying to add was already saved to the instance. We decided to bring one of our lower geared members in and he really did squat but that was sorta expected. Hopefully we’ll be able to pick this up again before Tuesday’s maintenance.
After Naxx I was leveling up JC when an 10 man OS PuG was popped up on trade chat. I jumped to join it and my guild went off to either do heroics or VoA. We finished OS pretty easily. Downed the 3 drakes in 20 minutes then wiped twice against Sarth. The first wipe as a legitimate wipe. We got him down to 2% but his adds at the end overwhelmed us and our OT died halfway through…bummer. The second time our druid rezzed a DK and he walked forward and aggroed Sarth… Yea…that kinda sucked. But we downed Sarth on our next try and guess who won the Dragon Hide Bag? That’s right I won it. Check out the DPS for that fight too.

I’m kind of happy it came out really blurred. That way the other raid members are semi anonymous. I’m the second Hunter if you guys were wondering. The other Hunter who out-DPSed me by less than 100 DPS was specced SV and I was specced BM, and we were geared similarly. I didn’t check out the gear on the Rogue but I guess he was really well geared. This is about the damage I put out in 10 man Naxx and ranked in the top 3 in most of the fights there also. However, in 25 man Naxx I was around 7th on the damage charts. This leads me to believe that the reason BM Hunters are now lagging behind in DPS compared to MM and SV Hunters is because the buffs applied to BM pets (who deal around 40% of BM damage) don’t scale as well as buffs applied to the MM and SV Hunters (whose pets deal maybe 15% of their damage if that) themselves. Hopefully that made sense.
