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 [...]

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

Mana management is not tricky. We all do it, and we’re all good at it. This post is going to go over a new macro that I believe could increase your damage throughput!

**Note: much of this post is reused from the last version, but the comments there were left over several patches, so I’m updating it and reposting. 0/15/56 is the survival spec that gets me the most DPS. Lets go over the basics, and why I took (or didn’t take) things. In general, you want to [...]

You’ve all read the patch notes, here’s what’s important. [Edit 10 aug 2009:] Kill shot no longer has a minimum range! Use when applying melee tactics. All profession based PvE boosts get their performance increased for free, except blacksmithing and jewelcrafting. The extra gem slots and better JC only gems have to be bought somehow. [...]

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’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.

Marksman Rotation!

edit: This post is outdated- all the relevant and recent advice is here.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.

Today I’m going to go over the Auriaya fight. She’s supposed to be some sort of librarian, and is affectionately known as the “crazy cat lady”. Your first responsibility is to create a macro that will /say “My cat’s breath smells like cat food” every time you feign death. Now, once that’s ready, your goal [...]

Survival UI!

Well, my old UI wasn’t cutting it any more. I’ve ignored it as long as possible, and when 3.1 hit, I could ignore it no longer. 6 abilities that need to be woven around each other does not lend itself well to my old 1-2-3-4 SV keybindings. I’m also not willing to install any new [...]

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 [...]

Survival in patch 3.1! Pun intended!

I was so excited about this post, I used two exclamation points in the title. That’s one over my budget, but I’ll just have to try and save one from another post sometime. Well, the servers have been up and down like a toilet seat. I haven’t been able to play for long, and we [...]

Shot macros!

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! [...]
