First, let me say thank you, Zeherah, for your continued efforts toward modeling hunter dps.  Second, I think it’s worth sharing that Zeherah updated her site with new options for modeling different MM rotations.  Continue reading after the break for a brief look at these changes.

Hi folks, Pherra here. I just uploaded a new release of the DPSCheck addon to WoWInterface and Curse. This new version has the first pass at priority checks for Beast Mastery and Marksmanship builds, along with a new buff/debuff checking feature. The priority checks are designed to help your shot selection in any fight, while [...]

I’ve been spending a fair bit of time on PvP lately, and while I’m far from an expert, I’ve logged a lot of battleground time, a little arena time, and have picked up a bunch of habits that I plan on writing about. As I’m fairly certain that I’m the worst PvP hunter on the [...]

There’s no doubt about it, right now, the best hunter DPS in the game is done by marks hunters. Marksmanship is the end game raiding spec, if you have the gear. There are presently two styles of marks hunters: agility and armor penetration. ArP Marks Hunters

I’ve had a chance to burn through the Faction Champions fight on 25 man normal mode a few more times, and it’s time for me to redo the guide. First, a bit of background. Faction Champions is a fight against a large group of mini-bosses, the composition of which changes for every instance ID. An [...]

[Edit sep 28, 2009: there is an updated strategy here] The Faction Champions encounter is the third in the trial of the crusader. Unfortunately, at this time, there are no general wowhead (or whatever) guides I can refer you to for further reading, however since we two shot made short work of this last night, [...]

This is my first hard mode guide. Last night, I was invited to raid Ulduar 10 with the clique after we had to cancel the 25 due to an unfortunate coincidence of real life stun-locked healers. We can raid if we have to sub in DPS or tanks, but offspec healers won’t cut it. The [...]

My paladin healers are busy guys. Between keeping my pet alive with splash heals from their holy light and actual heals that will bounce back to the tank through beacon of light, they’ve got a lot on their hands. That and I believe feign death is for pansies. Hunters were given a bubble for a [...]

I found some information that has nothing to do with patch 3.2, however is still true in this patch as far as I know. Okay, we know that marks hunters’ stings get refreshed by our chimera shot. We also know that every time it’s refreshed, your attack power at the time of refresh is what [...]

From Ahunkaluvin: “I’d like a guide to what the common mistakes are. For instance, I have pretty fair gear and have tried to put most of your lessons to practice, but somehow I still get nowhere near the DPS(about 1600-1800) of my fellow hunters. OK, So I suck, but, WHY? (other than just general suckiness)” [...]

Today I’m going to talk cookie cutter glyphs and specs for marksmanship hunters. That’s right, specs plural. There are a myriad of viable builds for marks, and I was rather overwhelmed when I made the switch.

Today I’ll be going over General Vezax. This fight is easy for most appropriately geared raid groups, and aside from one twisted mechanic, is basically a low risk tank and spank.

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 [...]

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.
