The whole quote of "Owned" shows just how nerdy you must really be. Its a freaking game and no one pays 15 bucks a month to have some other schmuck tell them how they suck or are stupid. Ignore that *******. Best advice is to play whatever style that makes you happy. I was a MM til about lvl 35ish and it does a lot more damage with your gun, but it uses a lot of mana which= more down time and also pulls aggro off your pet. Everyone will argue with you about what I said probably, but the difference is I dont give a ****, I play to have fun. I have found that BM is way better until you get to 70 just for the sheer fact that not many people group with hunter because of our lack of group buffs/and or healing. Honestly, do what you want! I went back to MM for end game content, and I am sure if you read posts, others will agree. Its just because you will be assist dps and not the main dps, and your pet isn't really worth a **** for even off tanking. Your just gonna end up melting down the tanks target. Hope that helps and ignore that 19 post with "owned". Some people have a inferiority complex and feel better by their video game characters being "better" than others. Besides, most ally hunters blow balls, they just have numbers on their side....its easy when there are 50 little kiddies around the corner to talk ****.
