Savvy Mark is actually a mash of two words from the Thesaurus for "good shot". <br /><br />The patch changes to 6.1 are going to make BM the spec to play as a hunter. The 2 piece bonus gives every Kill Command a chance at resetting Bestial Wrath. It brings RNG, but BM is already doing well (especially in the AOE department). <br /><br />And one more thing, even though Conquest gear isn't itemized for tanking, it's hard not to look at 660 gear when a couple of hours in Ashran gives you enough points to get a piece.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136845814680794385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-60000662130908764432015-03-06T10:37:34.881-05:002015-03-06T10:37:34.881-05:00Definitely upgrade the badge to level 3 if you can...Definitely upgrade the badge to level 3 if you can. Totally worth it and the trinket and proc are great. Now comes the real decision. This tier I think there are only a few fights that I would use pillar on. 1 is Kromog because, depending on your gear level and difficulty you are attempting, his melee swings and slam ability can be a real PITA. The other is Blackhand. His melee swings are nasty and just get nastier as the fight goes on. On those two fights effective health is incredibly useful. On every other fight I go double Bonus Armor or BA and Mastery trinkets. The bonus armor from pillar is nice, but the Mastery you get from Tablet is so much higher that it affects your overall survivability and dps more just from a stat perspective. Right now I'm using Blast Furnace Door and Tablet. The way that boss damage is designed this tier, where for the most part you're slowly getting whittled down instead of one hit and dead, effective health isn't as useful as bonus armor or mastery on keeping you alive and keeping damage smoother. Kromog and Blackhand are the only fights where you can conceivably get killed in a tight window from successive melee hits. And in those cases EH becomes more valuable than the mastery trinket in my mind.Michael Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086229758696206459noreply@blogger.com
