If your guild knows what they doing and u have enough shadow priests in the raid u should never need to be concerned about mana, personaly i use oils/mana pots very rarerly, but i always have major mageblood pots, when you reach 25% mana u switch over to aspect of viper and keep a steady/auto shot rythm your mana should increase steadily, FD drinking was nice on certain boss fights like alar and kaelthas when u get short periods u can drink inbetween phases.

I have stopped using Aspect of Hawk and is Perm in Viper. Lol @ shadowpriest in hunters group. I stopped raiding cause of lag and time issues but never ever was a SPriest in my group. Current guild has attuned to kara about 5 people and im about only one who has set Foot in there. i still run outta mana in 5man instances since im normally on add crap if there is any. Im just retiring my hunter to a miner.

The whole FD drink episode is pretty crap... even worse you cant feed your pet if he has been p0wn3d multiple times in one boss fight...
I dont have it too bad in boss fights with mana, since I always pot up with elixir of mageblood, mana oil on both weapons and drink my mana pots carefully at the right times... eg. you pop your first mana pot when your mana pool is 3/4 full, by the time your mana is almost dry, the pot cooldown would have reset and you can drink another mana pot, and by then it should see you through to the end. If not, as last resort I use aspect of the viper. But since I am back on a two handed weapon now, I dont get to put mana oil on two weapons anymore... so I tend to nuke more conservatively. Might be looking into eating blackened sporefish for exstra mana regen. But as it is now, its inconvenient, but not a total train smash.

And exactly how far have you gone besides kara?..
Regarding mana, now that my guilds working on vashj, ive been stocking heavy on fel mana + sup mana oil + super mana injectors + and pots... Phase 1 i just nuke down with AotH, phase 2 i usually nuke/kite the striders, so i 'aspect dance' (if that makes sense, locks sumtimes gogo kiting duty), then pot as phase 2 ends
my dps... well its not brilliant, but strangely i can keep up, even outdps, the slackers who just stand and nuke.
I've gotta admit, not being able 2 feed my pet during boss fights is gettin 2 me >.>

I wanted to share with you some changes affecting hunters that are coming in a small patch. The effect of aspect of the viper is being increased. Pet leveling speed will be substantially increased. Lastly, it will once again be possible for two freezing traps to be in place at the same time.

i'll be optimistic for once and hope it does. I hardly ever leave Viper unless im taking lowb's through deadmines or SFK and its quicker to just pull the entire room and lolmelee them down on explosive and snake traps. yay for readiness

Well I am seeing something really broken on my hunter and I am not sure if its mod related or an actual bug. Going to be reading the hunter forums...
Scenario : We were in Mount Hyjal last night, we wiped on some of the trash mob waves as we were working our way towards the boss...
When everyone has been ressurected, I am standing there unable to feed my pet, you move the meat to the pet, but you are unable to feed him. Its almost as if I am still in combat... next logical thing to do /rl
Still no change.... so lets hit the escape button and relog... no go, my escape key doesnt work, no menu pops open. Even when I released my corpse and ran back, after zoning in still same problem.
This happened numerous times and the only way to fix it, was to alt-tab and kill the WoW process and relog in again. Very annoying, but I must also add, it seems to be happening only in specific instances.
Good news on the new patch, they fixed the cast sequence bug now, so hopefully with minor adjustments to the old BM macro, we should be able to use our old favourite BM dps monster macro.

Sounds like it is related to an addon
Had it also once or twice asp the esc key not working, usualy seems to be some stuck command and only resolves itself on engaging a mob/ or hard reset.
Good news indeed on the cast sequence, will try and rework my old mackros.

Shheewwww good to hear I am not the only one having this problem... I almost lost my pet due to it, and I was bashing my keyboard out of frustration with it...
Ok time to go read up on the forum... weird thing is, if it was a in combat thing, you should be able to FD feed since its not a boss encounter, also there is no in-combat symbol displaying that you are combat mode.
One thing I did notice, it seems to happen more if you have a shaman in your group with totems out feeding you health / mana. Even after the wipe when he puts his totem's down, you dont have the option to use your escape key. Weird... would love to know what is causing it....
