shot rotations
i havnt played my hunter since BC lvl 70 got him to 74 then quit, a lot has changed just curious whats the best stack as far as stats, and a shot rotation, i used to pretty much just spam steady shot timing it right you get the highest possible dps
Hunter boa ?
ok so im starting a brand new hunter and was wondering if i had to buy the leather boa or if i could get the mail boa and it would work for my hunter before he hit lvl 40? what boa do you guys recommend me getting?
All pve
mail shoulders
mail chest
double daggers with agility enchants
bow
mail helm
agility cloak
The mail automatically scales armor type based on level. If can wear only leather first, it's leather. When you can wear mail, it turns into mail.
i was under the impression you cant enchant boa items? is that wrong? and is there 1 boa dagger that you just buy 2 of?
You can enchant them with enchants that have no lvl requirement.
And yes.
You can use Vanilla Enchants that don't require a speciffic ilvl. +15agi to 1h weapon, +4stats to chest etc.
Balanced Heartseeker isn't unique so you can use 2 of them

So who's got what Madexx?
I recently tamed the almighty epic looking rare spawn scorpion pet, Madexx from Uldum. And I love it!
I tamed the blue one, what have you guys gotten so far?
I HAD a blue one too but had to abandon for some of the new MF pets :( i found Skarr and Deth to be more desirable and since i have all the spirit beasts and my original wolf Redd(who i wont give up) there simply is not enough room for Madexx no matter what color skin :(
I got da black one
I've never even seen him yet lol, and I'm in Uldum all the time.
I had all of them but I let two go. That said, I still have the eye tic from spending so much time there.
I used to have the green one. Had to let it go to make room for other pets, before they expanded the stable.
I have him, but not one of my favorites.
Red and Blue, I had black but damn blizzard made it common, so I let him go :(
I had green and black but abandoned both and found red the other day was happy after seeing black 10times "rofl" finally find red
I only have green, though I don't use him much.
Had blue. Now brown.
Madexx was the 2nd hardest rare for me to find, 9 madexxes, 2 black, 3 blue, 2 green, the rest brown, what a nightmare. Finally got the red one, was the last one i needed. Hang in there hunters, hopefully youll have better luck than i had
hahaha uncle muscles is fantastic
i have the blue one and dont think ive ever used him. but just wanted to show my support for the uncle muscles hour
check out the name of my dethilac and blue madexx
Got the red/purple one, first day of NPCscan no less.
I got the dark red version the first and only time I tried to camp him...very lucky for me, it looks really good.
i have the brown one an the green one

Snake trap buff idea
1: Remove Deadly Poison.
2: Make Cobra Shot refresh other snake poisons.
thoughts?
Other poisons aren't useful in PvE..
Marks doesn't use Cobra Shot, and it's currently the best spec in PvP.
I personally would just be happy if they took the deadly poison off. That's all I ask

Other poisons aren't useful in PvE..This would buff MM and the other 2 specs for pvp if said changes were made. Although I think that just removing deadly poison would be enough. How often is snake trap used in PVE anyways?

Hunter PvP
Are hunter really bad at arenas like alot of people are saying? I plan on pvping on this toon once I get him fully geared and I'm doing good at bgs and such. But I also plan on doing arenas. Are people over-exaggerating hunters at PvP?
Also what spec would be best for PvP? BM or MM?
Hunters are ok, just hard.
MM has more control.
You can BM your way up to 1800 easy... in 2v2.
This is my first season actually doing arenas. In my opinion we aren't that bad overall. It's somewhat frustrating having people pole hump. >.< There a lot of things you will need to adjust and have fast reaction to. Good luck.
Were the lowest pvp class as a whole at the moment (not spec, but the entire class). The people saying were fine are probably playing under 2200, but as you get to a higher rating its a lot harder

Disappointment Over New Spider Pets
I realize that the art department has their work cut out for them. But with these new spiders in Firelands, would it be too much to ask to make the rare tames slightly different than the normal ones running around? It's a little disappointing to know that three of the five rare challenge tames have a normal version that can also be tamed, and makes it to where those rares are utterly pointless for collectors.
There is no reason to tame Skitterflame. He's a rare red fire spider with the exact same model as the Cinderweb Spinner. In fact, you could tame a Cinderweb Spinner and call it Skitterflame.
There is no reason to tame Anthriss. He's a rare yellow fire spider with the exact same model as the Cinderweb Creeper. Again, you could just tame a Cinderweb Creeper and name it Anthriss.
There is no reason to tame Kirix. He's the rare green fire spider with the exact same model as the Cinderweb Broodling. Yet again, the Cinderweb Broodling can be tamed and named Kirix.
Solix is the rare orange fire spider. It shares the same model as the Cinderling, but thankfully, the Cinderling cannot be tamed.
It seems that Deth'tilac is the only unique colored fire spider out of the whole bunch, but even then, it's still just a color swap. Can anything be done about the new challenge tames to make them stand out a little from their less rare brethren? Can we maybe have the rare challenge tames be bigger than the normal spiders when tamed? Or possibly a cool fire aura or something that differentiates the rare challenge tames from the normals?
Ive said the same thing. No point in going for wasting time taming them when you can get is brothers and sisters lol
I find it more satisfying to know that I DID tame a pet of varying challenge as opposed to grabbing a carbon copy and posing it as if I actually worked for something.
Im a collector. Pets, Mounts, Companions, Tabards, Keys, etc.... And those 3 spider pets were anything but utterly pointless for me. Same with Borwn Maddex. Same with Rakshiri which shares a model with the now very common Shy-rotam. True Deth'tilac was the one i decided to keep but thats because theres only so many stable slots and i was only willing to give one to a spider. If i had more slots would I be satisfied going after the common three and naming their after their rare counterparts? Never. As a collector it would gnaw at me endlessly.
What was the point? That they exist. That I knew they are out there, challenges made specificly for me, and I hadnt tamed them. Not to parade them around outside the bank in Stormwind.
It would have been a better idea if the spiders had a unique ability as opposed to the regular spiders. EVEN IF the ability is the web does a small amount of fire damage. better that than a basic web that the silithid bugs and shale spider spew out.
Cinderweb Broodlings cannot be tamed. So yeah....
http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/firespider_green.html
Actually they can. Theres 2 types. The normal small green ones that are always there cannot be tamed. There is also a random spawn of a small pack of them that runs around for a few minutes then despawns, these can be tamed. I myself had one until I managed to stumble across Kirix and get him.
I do agree about the Rares though, something should be done to make them different than their common counterparts. Hell, let them keep the Web ability like it, however change it to the Fire Web type that is in Beth'tilac's lair. Not game breaking, but would show that they are indeed unique.
They most definitely can be. Petopia is wrong in this case.

are core hounds somewhat unpopular
again no cliche pets like wolfs or cats which is sad to see so many people using when thereis all of these unique animals and there forced with cliches because of the buffs
i love my corehounds. I have chromagus and the white one from the drenai starting zone. The issue with corehounds is that they arent the best at anything. Their advantages are pretty awesome though. A casting slow and a personal blood lust. The issue is in PvP a snare or stun outweighs the need for a casting slow and the personal bloodlusts cooldown makes it unreasonable when compared to shorter cooldowns. In PVE other pets boost your damage more and the abilities are unneeded as in most raids you have a source of bloodlust and the casting slow is usually ineffective.
You need to be BM to use a corehound. So you will see less of them around than other pets.
I hope I never have to touch the BM spec again myself since I hate that spec with a passion.
Being forced to use it in BC was enough for me.
Strangely enough, I feel exactly the same way about MM.
I detest it and hated having to do it during Wrath.
I love core hounds! Their buff is great to pull out if there are no mages to cast it, ancient hysteria i mean. When im BM i usually use a spirit beast like karoma or Gondria, but i pull out my Core hound a bit. The problem is that in general, BM pulls less DPS than MM. Those are my specs but lately i've been rollin as MM
I've seen at least 5k hounds on my realm tbh.
It's all about the buff for me. When I was raiding, we had several consistent raiding Shamans, and mages so Ancient Hysteria was rarely required.
Because you can't use Ancient Hysteria in arenas and rated bgs, that makes Core Hound a pretty unattractive pet there.
But just on its own merits, I love my corehound for the skin, the roar, the whole look and feel of the pet. I wish I had more opportunities to use it seriously.
I would love to tame Chromagus, but sadly I don't use BM much anymore. I loved my Corehound in PvP and PvE. When I was doing Randoms, I just used my Corehound because he was cool and then I would Bloodlust on the Boss when I felt like it instead of waiting the Restro/Ele Shaman or Mage in the group.
I loved playing as BM in WOTLK PVP with The Beast from LBRS. He showed as ? level and boss tag, it was funny imagining the 'wtf?!'s coming from people who were fighting then suddenly had a huge Boss mob eating their face!
Since I was not being asked to bring the buff but was being questioned why I was once the top DPS and top hunter and dropped below the other two hunters who adopted the one button macro BM spec I had no choice but to change my spec so that I could bring what I was being asked to bring to the raid. DPS.

Survival hunters were more than viable back then. They didn't do the damage BM did, but they provided an amazing buff to physical dps classes.
So, with that said, you had other options. You chose not to use them, though.

Rate the hunter below you
A pure genius if there ever was one. He probably doesn't know how to gem properly and most likely doesn't know how to read properly and wants to rate the hunter above him. Plus his hairstyle, both in real life and in game, leaves something to be desired.
Man, this guy must be a Huntard. He's got +40 Mastery gems in all his yellow sockets and is dual-wielding Strength Axes with Expertise. Now, if only we could do something about that fashion sense, because that tabard is just disgusting.
Edit: BTW, grats on Loremaster Drunkraven.
Wtf if this guy doing?
im gonna say 10/10 just because this guy looks baller but he doesnt have his heroic tier chest. everything else is heroic :P
Close framed, very close.
As for the guy below me he's BM, nuff said.
BM HUNTER BEST HUNTER
40 hit gem below me, for shame

tier 12 rotation
whats the rotation(s) for 1tier 12 4 piece?
looking for it online and cant find it
Spam aimed shot when above 90% while keeping up ISS. Below 90% serpent, chimera, arcane as your focus dump unless you know you aren't going to move spam aimed. This also depends on your haste.
Thats only for 90 percent phase though.
im going with 1350 haste for latency problems
ami suspose to dump chimera glyph
Thanks anyway
When adding the T12 4 piece to the equation (You have a 10% chance from your Auto Shots to make your next shot or Kill Command cost no focus. This effect is not consumed by shots that do not cost focus (steady shot, cobra shot, etc)), spreadsheets have shown that Kill Command is the more efficient way to use the 4 piece proc, given you can react to it quickly enough to not delay your other shots.

BRK is playing again!!!
just wanted to post that the one and only BRK is playing again! can't wait for his next video.
hello brk
Hello
hello brk
Hello
Have a bit of a hit problem with new gear :/
I just got the t12 legs and the Rhyolith chest, and after equipping them it seems like I can't get the hit rating to be anything other than massively over or under the cap. If anyone wants to give advice on what I should do that would be great.
I've just put my old gear back on for now.
Also before I got these 2 new pieces on I was perfectly hit capped.
Put your gear into wowreforge.com and see if it can help.
Oh I did. It said the most optimal thing I could get was a 975 hit rating...
And apparently the t12 2pc isn't enough to make up for the loss of the t11 4pc
Put pants and chest on. Gem agi and agi/crit gem in chest and gem agi and agi/hit gem in pants, reforge hit on pants to crit, 8% hit rating.....not hard.
The rest of your reforging/gemming/spec/chants are up to you.
FD shows just those changes as a 600ish dps increase for you.
Well I must be doing it wrong then.
I went on FD and reforged hit out of everything that had hit and I was still 100 something over the cap :V
I seemed to have fixed the problem and even got a perfect hit cap, but I had to buy JP boots.
reforgecalc.de. Use it

Question about FL trinket
I just got revered with avengers of hyjal last night and now i can buy Ancient Petrified Seed what you guys think about it? should i change one of my trinkets to it?
Currently im using Essence of the Cyclone and Fluid Death
Thanks!
Femaledwarf.com
i know this site and i still dont understand really well how to get any conclusions analyzing my gear =P thats why im asking
Current DPS with FD/Cyclone:
Combined: 31016.11 100.00%
Hunter: 27382.80 88.29%
Pet: 3633.31 11.71%
DPS with FD/Ancient Petrified Seed, reforged Mastery to Crit:
Combined: 31060.18 100.00%
Hunter: 27449.12 88.37%
Pet: 3611.06 11.63%
44 DPS upgrade.
Just remember you are going from a passive proc to an on use one, and if you don't use it frequently that value drops dramatically.
Just Macro it to something that hits hard and precedes a period in your rotation of high shot frequency. Generally, on Chimera Shot is a good idea, since it'll affect CS, the SSs afterwards, Arcane Shots afterwards, and the next CS and some stuff after that. I'm not 100% on the MM priority system, but you may want to remember to use it during CA phase, if you don't CS during that.
I generally have on-use trinkets in my cooldowns macro in addition to their own bind, since a trinket's cooldown is shorter.
So it goes
rapid fire etc + trink -> 2 minutes -> trinket alone -> 2 minutes -> rapid fire + trink
This changes for a 6+ minute encounter, because you can get more than two rapid fires in. In that case I'll just keep the trinket and rapid fire on cooldown separately, so I can get the max # of uses of both.
thanks, i think i will try this trinket and see how it will work, yep Chim shot is probably the best option to macro this trinket so i keep using it on cd i just need to add something to my interface to make sure i dont miss any cd on my trinket, probably a power aura or just put the trinket in an easy to see keybind on bartender xD
PowerAura would be best most likely.

Just remember you are going from a passive proc to an on use one, and if you don't use it frequently that value drops dramatically.
Just Macro it to something that hits hard and precedes a period in your rotation of high shot frequency. Generally, on Chimera Shot is a good idea, since it'll affect CS, the SSs afterwards, Arcane Shots afterwards, and the next CS and some stuff after that. I'm not 100% on the MM priority system, but you may want to remember to use it during CA phase, if you don't CS during that.
I generally have on-use trinkets in my cooldowns macro in addition to their own bind, since a trinket's cooldown is shorter.
So it goes
rapid fire etc + trink -> 2 minutes -> trinket alone -> 2 minutes -> rapid fire + trink
This changes for a 6+ minute encounter, because you can get more than two rapid fires in. In that case I'll just keep the trinket and rapid fire on cooldown separately, so I can get the max # of uses of both.
thanks, i think i will try this trinket and see how it will work, yep Chim shot is probably the best option to macro this trinket so i keep using it on cd i just need to add something to my interface to make sure i dont miss any cd on my trinket, probably a power aura or just put the trinket in an easy to see keybind on bartender xD
PowerAura would be best most likely.
Ready to be eaten alive! :D
Hello everyone.
So, I've been playing this hunter for about a year, on and off. Mostly off. WoW was just a game to me then; questing, dungeons, other fun stuff. Now, I'm ready to get a little deeper into it and really play my MM/BM hunter. I'd rather like to be useful in raids/bgs/arenas, instead of a sorry bag of crap.
Most of what I'm reading here is absolute gibberish. I think it's most of the abbreviations, but it could be because I'm a complete moron.
If anyone would like to take the time to educate me, I would appreciate it. I will also appreciate being pointed in the right direction to educate myself as well. I'm not looking for someone to play my class for me, just some help and pointers. :)
Such as...what IS the best rotation for max dps with MM? I'll tell you what I do so far (upon encountering non-bosses that my pet holds aggro): Hunter's Mark, Aimed, Serpents Sting, Arcane, Steady, Cobra, Aimed, Arcane, Steady, Serpent....etc.
Thanks, all. I appreciate all constructive criticism.
It's not easy to find any really useful info on the these forums for hunters. There are a lot of good dedicated hunter sites for understanding our class. One of my faves is elitist jerks(www.elitistjerks.com) hunter section. It's well moderated from trolls and a lot of the garbage you see here. It also covers a lot of logic and math to back up its info.
Thanks a lot! I'm heading over there now to take a look.
Appreciate it.
Hi!
I maintain a blog mostly intended for hunters new to end-game. I've got a few different guides which you might find helpful, including a new-85 gear guide:

As well as an MM guide and a guide to gems/enchants/reforging, which you can find links to on the side. :)

T13 2pc
Anyone know if the extra focus generated through Steady Shotting a dazed target with Glyph of Dazzled Prey, or the bonus focus from Steady Shotting a target under 25% health with the spec points for Termination would be doubled through the T13 2pc? If there's no way to know atm just let me know, thanks in advance.
the only way to know would be to physically test it
Good question. Won't be able to test it though until loot drops are turned on in DS.

low level spirit beasts?
are there any tameable for a lvl69 hunter?
lowest one ive found is the bear (Arcturus?) from Griz Hills at 74.
Arcturis is the lowest level unfortunately. the rest range from 76 - 85.
dangit
seems kinda silly considering the talent for exotics is available from 69
ah well, not far off i suppose. cheers bud

Been away for a while, have a question.
Ive been away for a couple of years and just recently returned and started a new hunter and ive noticed a couple of differences that im wondering about. Mainly ive noticed that my pet doesnt have "happyness" anymore and previously you would have to feed your pet to maintain its level of contentment my question is if you dont feed your pet to keep it happy what do you feed it for now? Maybe its just im low level and not really noticing all the changes yet but its been nagging at me. Also once again maybe its because im still low lvl but my pet's (currently a wolf) taunt ability seems to be completely useless. the second i fire at my target its all over me and pet cant pull it off. thanks guys
Feeding your pet is completely and utterly useless.
Growl for anything short of a tenacity pet with some of the deeper talents is also useless and should be turned off because the threat is non-existant.
Tenacity seems to be the only pet that can hold decent aggro. Which makes sense, but dont dare have growl on in a dungeon. I used to get yelled at so much by baddie tanks. TURN GROWL OFF! I CAN LET YOUR PET TANK!! ...

Heres a list of all the pets you can have in WoW. The tenacity ones, as has been said, are the best tank pets. And when you're leveling, the damage difference isn't largely noticeable between a ferocity pet and a tenacity pet.

I think I'm going to name mine (when I get one :P) off of a Portal character like: Wheatley, Chell, Cave (for Cave Johnson...duh!), or of course GLaDOS
\o/
I was also going to suggest GLaDOS...
I name all of my pets 'BillOReilly,' especially the ones that have the ability "Enrage."
Kaoken
Now you are thinking with portals () Portal!
Magik ?
I have one named Wiggles :3
Speaking of warp stalkers, who else thinks it would be cool if we could somehow tame the low level one at Area 52?
I have this warpstalker: http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/warpstalkerskinblack.html
And I named it Toothless, after the dragon from "How to Train Your Dragon." XD

Leveling
Anyone know the best leveling spec for now? looking to get from 73-85 asap ... Questing mostly with instances for occasional gear. Back in the day BM was best for solo leveling whatcha got for me?
I prefer Marks personally. Especially with Aimed shot being added at such a low level.
Send pet -> Aimed Shot -> dead mob -> Rinse, repeat.
With Rapid Killing & Rapid Recuperation the only downtime you need is for looting. Very easy leveling, haha.
with Aim shot +60% critting and chimera the mobs kinda die off the bat but sometimes you wait on the chimera shot so you dont need to run so far to loot :0)
Marks for high levels definitely. For the times Aimed+Chimera doesnt kill something right away, Ill just use a Steady+Arcane.
Im still dualspecd to BM just for the cooler pets though, but I mainly stick to MM(Ill probably swap to Surv soon to get some practice with the spec though).
I was about to make the same thread glad i looked before i did. Can anyone post a leveling MM cookie-cutter build? And what kind of pet would be the best?
Acien, i think i have the cookie cutter leveling build.
With Mobs dieing so quickly, use whatever pet you want ... no need for a tank pet specifically
Ahh ok thanks. Yea i been using a bear, the AOE stomp comes in handy when you pull more then one mob and he has over 16khealth so i really like him. To bad we not the same faction and server would be fun to level with another hunter.
