Frostheim at WoW Insider: Along with the mass of pre-Mists of Pandaria changes that patch 5.0.4 brought to the game is an important change to the raid target dummies: They have leveled up to level 93.
The raid boss target dummies found in major cities are now the Mists of Pandaria dummies, set up for level 90 characters. This means that the boss dummies now have much more armor, so even if your level 85 character is hit-capped and dodge-capped, you will still miss and be dodged by the target dummy. It also means that your physical attacks will do vastly less damage.
You cannot compare your DPS to the raid target dummy before and after patch 5.0.4, alas. So if you thought your DPS went way down, don’t worry. It may just be the target dummy change. . . . Read original article
I’m a bit worried. Not with my DPS, but with the hunter “feel”. I did LFR with both survival and beast master specs today and both felt frantic.
Too much resource, too many cool downs, and constant pet bugs on Ultraxion and Deathwing. I didn’t get a single kill command on Ultraxion, getting an error message about the path or something.
It just didn’t feel good.
I hope I can find a combination of talents that don’t require monitoring 5 cool downs on top of my priority rotation.
There is currently a bug where Kill Command doesn’t work on Ultraxion and Madness. It has to do with the new charge component of KC. It would be best to go SV for those fights until the bug is fixed.
