Hello, i'm considering changing mains and am wondering how beastlords are doing on raids, and will be doing in pop. Also, are bst pets affected by motw? thanks.
Mark of the old ways does not do anything to beast pets. As for their overall dps, I dont know enough to answer that.
Is that potentially due to lack of gear compared to other raiders? You've got people propped up on 3 expansions of gear to compare with.
Not enough gear or AAs yet to make a good determination. Probably won't be competitive until PoP which has new nukes and double attack AAs.
back in the day, PoP is where we got competitive; but as others have said most BST are still way under geared/aa'd compared to everyone else to draw a fair comparison. Honestly if you enjoy playing one do it. (Unless being #1 on the parse is the only reason you play.. if so be prepared to switch classes a lot as expansions change who the top dog is) I will say this, I'm only 57 and in some average gear and I'm parsing around 90dps in groups.
As others have said, lack of gear and AA, even if you hoarded DKP on previous main and your guild allowed you to transfer it to your new Bst main you wouldn't have had a lot of opportunities to spend it yet. Question probably better asked towards the end of xpac or during PoP.
Our role in Luclin leans a bit more towards utility than towards DPS. PoP is when we start to show up on parses although you should never expect to beat monks-rogues-wizard and most probably rangers if they have the slightest idea of what they're doing.
