Questions to hunters.

[Sashra]

Hello Method.
I have some questions to raiding hunters. Can you tell me what rotation do you use on raids? You make imba dps but I cant... (My build here. (http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=The+Maelstrom&n=Sashra))
You all guys have the same build and maybe Ill change mine to be like yours, but I can't imagine that I don't use Aimed Shot.. What do you use instead of that?
And I want to know one more thing. Do you use any addons for hunter? I use only Zhunter to show on raid channel who gained my Misdirection.

Deify is expert in doing missdirect on Pacthwerk! World best hunter!

explosive shot>multishot>serpent sting>steady shot and if available kill shot with highest priority

And thats all? Thats your secret to make that dps? :P

[Lownita]

press your buttons as fast as possible! smash em like youre going enrage = yields hardcore dps

[Deify]

Use LnL smart -> Class Timer addon, add Explosive Shot, shoot it 0.5 before ES debuff fade on boss.(fly time/lag).
Use Raptor and combine the Savage Rend with Kill Command (make macro for it).
Always enjoy raiding and ignore shamans like Merrymaker Excelle ! ;)

[Sashra]

Ok, thank you so much!
Goodluck in Ulduar!

Btw, Lownita, I dont want to see your fingers :)

If you`re using a cat you can just bind it to all your shots pretty much; although when you`re BM specced you'll be better off binding it to Bestial Wrath.

As survival you can use freezing trap to force LnL, it doenst use the CD of LnL and makes you able to proc more then just every 30s.

Frost trap * as surv - all the time when its possible, stay close to the boss not to miss retri palas 30yds buffs and with that you can place the trap easily.
Tho according to blizzard trap dance is not intended for raids, and will be removed in 3.1.

Right, frost trap, always confuse myself with those 2! :|

Anyhow, they are replacing it by adding black arrow wich will share the cd with traps, proc chance the same as traps (on bosses, the 100% chance on freezing/frost won`t work against bosses itself, but you can use it on most adds to force an extra LnL) but with a better benefit ( 6% extra damage to the target while affected).

Guys.. What about your dps on Sartharion 3D on normal mode (after BM nerf of course)? I dont know why I cant make more than 2500dps on Tenebron.. I dont run much and I really dont know what to do to inscrease my dps. Im using your build and rotation.

[Deify]

Maybe you are missing some raid buffs, have no clue with what setup you are running, just make sure to get all possible profits for a hunter.

I have BoK, BoM and Mark of the Wild. I think in that setup thats all for me... Casters can make something around 3-4k dps but fury warrior had 3.5k dps. When Shadron land, Tenebron has something around 25-30% hp.. Crap dps, huh?

Our setup:
Prection Paladin
Protection Warrior
Unholy Death Knight (tank)
Holy Paladin
Restoration Druid
Elemental Shaman
Frostfire Mage
Destruction Warlock
Survival Hunter (me)
Fury Warrior

Totally depends on how much AoE you're doing. Also that setup isn't very good as it's almost impossible to give support for both physical and elemental DPS in a 10 man group.

If your doing "of the nightfall" its best going with a buff reliant group

Trying to mismatch buffs isn't perticuarly advisable on this

Suggest trying a Caster Raid like

Prot Warrior [for Sunders etc]
Prot Pala [Tanked Sarth]
Unholy DK [Pick up Adds bring to Drake Tank to Tc off]
Mage
Ele Shamman
Lock
Ret Pala / Moonkin
Spriest
Resto Shamman [2x Heroism is needed otherwise your hanging about 50% of the time]
Holy Pala
3rd Healer doesn't perticuarly matter [Security we did it with a Resto Druid or read Below]

Physical Dps

Prot Warrior [Drake tank]
Feral Druid [Sarth tank]
Enh Shamman
Unholy DK [as above]
2x Hunter
Spriest
Holy Pala
Resto shammy [2nd hero]
Holy Priest / Druid [Priest pred if your dps isnt good enough for Sacrifice + Bubble and Bear Cd's]

These groups should maximize dps and give you a much easier time, we tried it once with a mix and match group but could never get the dps output to get anywhere.

Hey guys. Do you have any interesting build and rotation for patch? My friend said the best pets (3.1.0) are hyenas and wolves, is it true? I wasn't playing on PTRs, so I really want to know :(
