Been quite while since I have played and was curious of this I saw on simulation craft BM was highest but I was wondering why high tier raid guilds have their hunters running survival? Also where does marksman fit in all of this?

Idk what the heck is going on with hunters. Started WoD as MM and that was easily the best spec. Then SV got a bump and were tops for like a month. Then BM was simming on top, but now I still see more people playing SV and MM. So really, I have no freaking clue at the point. Play what you like, cos hunters seem to be all over the board.

Better yet, play a different class. The hunter class is grossly over-populated. If you're ever looking to join a premade group that already has 5+ players in it, good luck. It's probably already got at least 2 hunters in it.

Also, and maybe this is just my bad luck, but I feel our tier token is also over-populated. I feel like every group i'm in, at least 1/2 the raid is on protector token, but again, that may be just because there's always a lot of hunters.

Just pick two and switch between them as fights require. Hunter is so easy to learn anyone should be able to just switch specs and still kill it.

I have played nearly every other class except Hunter I agree it may become mundane for me but honestly if I wanted complicated I would just play my affliction lock or my feral Druid. Having a mundane character might be nice for a change. Having said that, what two specs are you think excel in different situations? I don't know much about this class so some examples would be stellar and why that spec is better at it.

Honestly I would just do MM and BM. You shouldn't even have to switch specs often, only for fights like beastlord that require AOE. So pick a spec for single target and one for AOE and you are golden. That being said I would go BM for AOE fights like beastlord and MM for single target. Learn those two and you should be set for raids.

Pretty much this and tbh if u choose w/e you want have a good one for single target an one for aoe an it really doesnt mater on the spec the dps for each is pretty even some pull a small miniscule portion ahead its like fury warrior tg or sm bother are good but tg pulls ahead a small portion ive played both i prefer tg cuz i like big ol two handers
