Editors Note: Another big hand for Pherra, the guy who is thanklessly coding that stupid hunter DPS addon idea. Blizzard’s announced design changes give the hunter community a lot to absorb in the months leading up to Cataclysm. The biggest change was the “ranged rogue” change from mana to focus that was announced at Blizzcon. [...]

What Am I Doing Wrong!?

There has been a surge in questions about the basics lately- people telling me that they are not producing enough DPS based on what they think they should do with the gear they have. I’m going to go over the basics today, and if you do everything you read here, you shouldn’t have that problem.
How to Use the Online DPS Calculator!

[edit 12 aug: fixed broken link, sorry for fat-fingering the first link to the site in question] You’ve probably all been told at one point or another to “use the spreadsheet”. They mean this spreadsheet, and here‘s the guide I wrote for it. Since then, the cries for a version that would work for people [...]
Common Mistakes!

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)” [...]
Switch to Marksmanship!

Well, it was bound to happen. First, the eggheads over on the best possible DPS thread at elitistjerks.com started talking about how marks overtook SV as top DPS. Then the filter down blogs started mentioning it, and eventually it became such common knowledge that wow.com (formerly wow insider) posted it. Well, the reality is that [...]
Marksman Rotation!
Posted in Hunter, Marksmanship, Resources, World of Warcraft, tagged aimed shot, arcane shot, chimera shot, cooldown timing, furious howl, global cooldown, keybind, kill command, kill shot, Marksmanship, rapid fire, rapid re, rapid recuperation, readiness, serpent sting, shot priority, shot rotation, silencing shot, steady shot, timing cooldowns on June 25, 2009 | 40 Comments »
edit: This post is outdated- all the relevant and recent advice is here.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 [...]
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!
Posted in Hunter, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged 3.2, 3.2 survival macros, aimed shot, arms warrior, bloodlust, casts, castsequence, dps, exhaustion, explosive shot, global cooldown, heroism, instant abilities, kill command, kill shot, kill shot macro, macro, macros, patch 3.2, pve, raiding, rapid fire, serpent sting, shot priorities, shot rotation, shot rotations, steady shot, survival macro, trinkets on April 17, 2009 | 38 Comments »
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 Rotation!

3.2 edit: I’ve gone through this survival rotation guide and ensured that everything is accurate for patch 3.2.
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! [...]
