So we all know that if you're BM specced then Devilsaur is the top DPS and if not then you go Wolf. My question is how much of a difference is there between the two. Is it enough to make BM w/Devil >/= SV w/Wolf? Or is it no where close and SV w/Wolf owns it all?
I dont have the 1k to dual spec and find out myself.
Thanks in advanced.

BM with any pet wont come close to either MM or SV with a wolf.
Seeing as how the pet counts for the majority of your dps (BM) if it dies, you could very well be doing less dps then your tank.
Gear and skill plays into somewhat, and I have personally seen some BM hunters put out some very good dps, however they still fall behind equally geared/skilled SV and MM hunters.

You can enter in what data you want, and see the differences for yourself... plus, its free!

Thank you. I'm a little Techno Slow so I'm gonna have some issues with it (even though there's a walk thru linked there too).
Pretty much you answered my question. Like a majority of Hunters out there I'll just end up with BM as Grinding Spec once I can Dual I guess.
Would love to see BM's be a little more then vanity but... QQ, I know.

Oh BM used to be the run of mill top DPS spec. However blizzard decided to nerf the almighty BM and buff SV and MM.
Seeing BM hunters do 3.4k dps in some blues and greens in naxx was, well, scary?

I remember back when I first started my Hunter how NO ONE would play as SV because all it did was increase your traps effectiveness a tiny bit. Now it's insane...
I dont want to be Top DPS, just not bottom.
Although I dont RP I do believe that each spec is a different hunter. You've got the one who has a deep friendship and understanding with their animal, the one who has perfected the ranged attack, and the one who can survive harsh environments.
I love my pets...

You cant forget the raid wide expose weakness. The only reason I raided as SV was to supply that buff to the group, as the BM hunters usually had Imp Mark and did crazy dps.
Also, double trapping and sleeping an add in oh sh*t cases was handy.

No, SV wins every time.

No. BM with Devilsaur will not out-DPS an equal geared SV Hunter with any pet. The mechanics are working against BM right now and SV is top DPS followed by MM with BM only a few hundred DPS behind.

/le sigh. I really need to dual spec then cause I love being BM but want to be useful to groups as well in more then just supplying a +3% dam and possible Intervention.
