I just wanted to say thank you, I was beginning to think I was the only beast master hunter left till I happened upon this site. Despite the negative comments I have read on other sites and the insults that get tossed my way in the game, I continue to raid as beast mastery. More often than not my pet and I top the meters in raids, out damaging similarly geared MM and Surv hunters alike. My response to those who claim beast is not a viable end game spec is simply this; "Come and raid with me and I will prove it."
On a spreadsheet, the numbers do claim that beast mastery will do less damage, however a spreadsheet can not account for player skill or fight mechanics. Even if we base things solely off of numbers, you are absolutely correct when you say that FI makes up for the lowered damage on a spread sheet with the increase to overall raid dps. I have seen it in action. Thankfully, my current guild has no problems with me continuing to raid end game content as beast. They have seen the results and they miss the dps and the damage boost of FI when I am gone.
So again, thank you. This site is an asset to all beast masters.
