Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about
this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog.
A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.

“Tranquilizing Shot removes one stack at a time when applied to a stacking buff.” – Arcanotron has stacking buff – if I recall it right.

or you could read the tooltip, as it says the skill itself only has a chance. so giving yourself a 100% chance to remove a spell or enrage is….. a chance. I beleive.

I haven’t seen anything that suggests that Tranq Shot is on the spell hit scale, but that’s just me. Could it be that you’re not seeing the intended buff fall off because you’re trying to dispell Power Conversion (the source of the stacks of Converted Power), which can’t be dispelled?

Do you have to be range hit cap or spell hit cap for Tranquilizing Shot? It seems that I spam it sometimes, but It does not remove the effect on Arcanotron, and I am range hit cap.

Well, despite my irritation with some parts of Tranq Shot after 4.0.1 (range & focus cost, really), I must say that having a focus cost rather than a cooldown sure is handy for some situations. During 4.0.1, in a ToC 10 pug for a weekly kill (Jaraxxus), I found myself having to dispel all stacks of whatever that magic buff he applies to himself is called. Would’ve been utterly impossible before 4.0.1.
Also, it sure has a different dynamic in BGs. Rather than using it every CD when fighting something like a Paladin, you now have to decide if you’re going to use your focus on an Arcane Shot or Tranq Shot.

To make Tranq’ing a little easier, I bind it to one of my secondary mouse keys, like button 4 or 5, and use a mouse-over macro. It’ll hit what you’re currently moused over, or, failing that, it’ll cast Tranq shot on what you currently have targeted.
Hope this helps :)

My raid’s been having issues with Power Conversion (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=79729) and keeping interrupts or spellsteals on Arcanotron. If tranqs work on anything that can be spellstolen, I’m totally going to try this out.

I’ve already seen more uses in early Cataclysm than I did in all of Wrath. It’s certainly a sexy ability. :)

Pretty good read up and explaining how magic effects work with it. I myself have always used this shot, mostly for PVP. Its one of those shots that I’ve always moved around long my hot keys trying to find the best place for it so I can get to it quickly.

Right now it’s set to my 2 key, which I can hit pretty easy, given my Concussive Shot is bound to shift+2.

Its nice to know that it will have it’s uses when I dive back into PVE, given I remember back in Wrath I did try to use it in PVE a few times but my combat logs gave me a “Immune” or it wouldn’t let me fire it at all. After a while I kind of looked at it and I think many hunters do this, look at it as a PVP only shot, which it clearly is not.

Thanks for the great article and lookign forward to more in the series! I pride myself on knowing my class, but any refresher helps and I think something like this is GREAT for other members of your raid or guild who might not otherwise be familiar with our Hunter utility! Awesome :)
