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 [...]

edit: This post is outdated- all the relevant and recent advice is here. Here’s the first in a series of guides I’m planning on writing about marksmanship. Today, we go over the rotation. As always, it’s more of a priority list than a rotation, but it certainly feels simpler than survival did. First thing you [...]
Iterative Marksman spec advice!

This is still a work in progress, and a canon marks guide will be forthcoming. Some of the things I learned on my first raid as marks, however, are: MM at my gear level is a small step up on DPS for most encounters, and a large step up for AOE encounters. This does not [...]
From Survival to Marksman!

Not going to go into much depth here because I haven’t done anything yet other than annoy a targeting dummy with my new MM rotation, but lets talk about the process of switching to MM.
Lock and load!

Everyone has an opinion about lock and load. It used to be the bread and butter of the trapdancing spec, and is now still an incredibly nice talent that’s well worth the points spent in it. What it does is proc from 20% of the ticks of black arrow outside its 22 second cooldown, providing [...]
Survival Macros!

I covered the shot priorities list. Now it’s time for macros. Some of you are thinking “Macros? I thought you said not to macro shots, just to weave them manually based on what’s available and highest priority?”. This is correct! However, and I went over this in the last patch, it’s fine to take all [...]

3.2 edit: I’ve gone through this survival rotation guide and ensured that everything is accurate for patch 3.2.
Gluth! How to kite zombie chows

Editor’s note: If you are lucky enough to win the key to the focusing iris from Sapphiron even after you repeatedly murder that ugly cat in cold blood (and everyone knows that killing that cat guarantees a /roll of below 10 for the key), don’t forget to start the quest before you have your guild [...]
Shot macros!
Posted in Beast Mastery, Hunter, Resources, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged 3.0.8, aimed shot, arcane shot, bloodlust, castsequence, dps, explosive shot, frost trap, heroism, huntard, kill command, kill shot, lock and load, macros, multi shot, power auras, pve, raiding, serpent sting, shot macro, shot rotation, steady shot, theory crafting, timing, trap dancing on March 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Edit: the macros in this post are no longer valid- here‘s the post 3.1 version. As a hunter, your job is to pump out as much hurt to your raid’s target as possible. You have a multitude of shots you can use to do this, but it’s not easy to watch so many damn cooldowns! [...]
Survival!

As I’ve stated before, survival hunters can currently pump out more boss DPS per unit of gear than anyone else. It’s almost unfair. Almost.
