patch-4-0-1

Also MM got another stealth buff added to it this morning on the Live servers on the mastery side.

Kinda still getting the hang of it, but can pretty much do sustained 10k Dps on the target test dummies without using my rapid fire or any dps boosting racial / pet abilities.
Very annoying to level up 20 pets though.

Care to post your spec? id love to see what gives you 10K dps.
 
Armory is broken so its not updating anything yet. Had to reforge everything, regem everything... but till they fix the spell queuing system in the next patch, its gonna very rough for guys spamming spells / abilities.
Crit is totally through the roof, so I dumped massive amounts of crit down to optimal pre-raid buff levels... Haste and mastery is the key to my build.

As for the stealth buff the following was done :

A few hotfixes/changes that now appear on live:

Wild Quiver (Mastery) - Grants a 14.4% chance for your ranged attacks to also instantly fire an additional ranged shot for 115% normal damage. Each point of Mastery increases the chance by an additional 2.0%. (up from 100% damage and 1.8%
 
So what would you say is the optimal level % wise of crit , what mastery rating, and haste ? i think im sitting with 15%/16% haste, 9.67 Mastery, and i cant recall my crit %. This was just playing around last night.
 
I Aimed for around 57 % crit pre-raid buffs... pre-self buffed with wolf or whatever pet you use.

My haste is waaaaaay more than that... I am close to 30% haste and my mastery was around 21% pre buff this morning... suspecting it would be around 25 % now tonight when I log in.

Pets are doing way more damage now, but thats a total different discussion. We are kinda screwed with wolves now.
 
Did you gem for haste ? What pet are you running with, wolf seems useless at the moment.9.6 rating not % not sure what the % is.
 
No ... I did'nt gem for haste... I did use 10 agility / 10 crit gems to make socket bonusses. All +20 crit gems were replaced with +20 agility ones in the red sockets. "Edit - ensure you dont wear leather for mail mastery bonus. "
Pet wise the wolf now provides 5% crit which is useless to me, since we always have a feral in our raids... I tested it and it doesnt stack with the feral buff. Effectively we lost the AP bonus the pet provided to us.

However I suspect BM is going to be king trashmob build on the way to bosses. Exotic worm pets + trap launcher + multi-shot + Potion of wild magic is stupidly good in current form.

Sorting out my secondary build tonight, want to get my BM build up and running... pets are doing stupid amounts of damage. My level 77 ravager was doing 1300 damage shots last night, and that was as MM, so I am expecting good returns in BM form.
 
I also setup a BM build, will go on the hunt for different pets tonight (and i asked if you gemmed for haste not crit;))

But also with the recent changes to paladin tanking, i might start tanking again, its seems alot more appealing at the moment.
 
I am not enjoying the playing style of the hunter class anymore, and I am not rerolling... Will give "focus" some time to settle in, and hopefully once things settle down, maybe it would have grown a bit on me.
The new changes has dumbed down the playing style of hunters big time. BM is a total joke they say with arcane shot spamming. Oh well. Lets give the Blizz dev's the benefit of the doubt and see how things work out when cataclysm comes.
 
Can someone please go into their wow folders and upload the file "wow.mfil" to some site where I can dl it from :P Seems that it's causing an error with my streaming so I need a new one and repair tool is useless. Please :D?

Not trying to be an annoyance here but this is what I predicted all along! I read all the changes and with the fact that they removed ammo makes it even more lame. Sad thing is all the skill changes have happened now, not much will change with cataclysm... just a few nerfs and buffs here and there. The fact that they removed ammo makes playing a hunter feel like cheese, ammo was one of the things I really enjoyed about hunter. Sure you have to maintain it and yes people whined, but I still can't justify removing ammo. It's like removing mana from a mage and giving it runes :/
 
Ok,, just did a instance now and it was fun, going to need time to get used to playing without mana and atm I am really missing volley.

BTW< anybody got the gearscore plugin working after the upgrade?
 
So we did some ICC10 hm's last night and our hunter pushed 14 to 14.8k dps with all 3 specs. He said they all pretty close and he likes the energy thing & that energy is never a problem.
Generally all 6 dps where pretty close to eachother.

Our shammy was moaning on the healing & mana. Then he realized he needs to dps with lightning and he gets full mana again. But he feels his heals such and he basically have 1 proper heal, a quick cast that heals 25k on single targer, but costs ****loads.

Played my disc, was sitting with 4.8k sp, 49k mana, 30% crit & 752 haste (soft capped) and some mastery during the raid. Shields is small or dmg more, anyway it breaks almost instantly and it feels like a waste to shield for a few K of absort (remember u have a GCD with every shield) when you can heal for 25k with 1 quick spell :( and I really like shields!
Main healing spell feels like Flash Heal, and all u can really do if u want is just spam that, 1.1 sec cast, heals for 25k +-. It costs allot of mana thou, +- 1300, but with 49k mana and 1200 mana regen I never even have to use my SF. (and I did not use the smite spec, I feel that is retarded)
Felt allot like I was playing my paladin pre-patch, but without a beacon.
Need to try holy I think!

Tank aggro felt ok for most of the time, but there where some problems once in a while.
 
Gonna miss my tree form also ye. Will see how Resto is doing tonight during ICC25 hm's. My spec is sorted and got 1015 haste for that 6th rejuv tick, 50k mana & 1300 mama regen. It all sounds lol
 
Quite strange, I can push 6k dps unbuffed on a hc test dummy, but couldn't manage 3k in R.S. :/

Keen to get reforging though...
