Just a short note today- all you survival hunters who have hit the point in gear quality where starting a marks build will mean more DPS should note a very important difference in how we pull now. Misdirect is still awesome, but we can’t use aimed shot like we did as survival. I know it’s awesome and instant and all that, but now that we have piercing shots, a crit will mean that all your remaining charges of misdirect will be eaten by bleed damage, and you’ll end the process with agro.
Long story short, pull with arcane shot. Still instant, and won’t cause a bleed.
ps. This is short, but I’m working on a marks spec post, a “how much gear do you need before you get more DPS as marks” post, and a post about the DKP system we use.

Well, you could always start with steady and cast aimed just as it goes off, since then steady + auto + aimed should all hit simultaneously and there’s no time for the bleed damage to happen before you’ve used all 3 ticks.
The problem is that the bleed generates agro. Not enough to pull, but enough that I’m not comfortable. I pull with arcane shot now.
Thanks for the tip ! I’ll make sure to past it to the guildies.
