A little confused on maximizing dpsFollow

Steady shot is a worthless shot, and should only ever be used if nothing else is available.
(except for Armor Pen stacking MM, but that requires nearly full ilevel226 gear)



Basically, what you do at the start of a fight is:
(Hunter's Mark > Serpent Sting >) Chimera Shot > Aimed Shot > Arcane Shot > Rapid Fire > Readiness > Chimera Shot > Aimed > Arcane and then once Rapid Fire ends, RF again.

If the fight is more than 3 minutes, wait with using Readiness until Rapid Fire is off cooldown and you can do the above again (unless the boss is on the verge of dying of course)

See this is why it gets confusing ..

Wherever I look people are disagreeing on shot rotation. /ack?

i don't understand why people shoot chimera so early...i must be missing something because it refreshes your serpent sting...so wouldn't it be better to do it last on your rotation when serpent is at about 3 sec rather than refresh it after 1 tick?

I'm experimenting with MM right now so I don't know much about it.

Well, that makes sense!

I'm not great with macros, but is it possible that switching Silencing Shot to go before Steady Shot in your macro would have the desired effect?

I would guess that's because it's an instant, non-gcd spell just like kill command (hence why you'd want to macro it in to begin with).

Glad it works that way, at least.

I think the idea is to macro it to all of your shots so that it's always being used as soon as it's off cooldown and you don't have to worry about it at all.

Oooh, nice sig Isyris :P

Another macro help, better just jacking this thread then starting another, so I found basically an all in one pet macro, to use heart of the phoenix if in combat and dead, call pet if he's not there, revive if he's dead and mend if he's injured.

Here is the macro

#showtooltip
/cast [combat] Heart of the Phoenix
/cast [nopet] Call Pet; [target=pet, dead] Revive Pet
/castsequence [pet, nomodifier, button:1] reset=15 Mend Pet, null

Now the problem is that when my pet is dead, yet not targetable it tries to cast call pet, but since he is dead no pet comes and all he does it just cast call pet, is there a way i can change that to where if he is not targetable and dead to cast revive?

right now i went ahead and just added

/cast [nopet, modifier:ctrl] Revive Pet

We'll see if I remember to actually do it, since it's out of combat it shouldn't be too big of a deal

I need to pull out my all-in-one macro and compare--it's been bugging me lately because I set something up weird and it'll let me cast Revive Pet when my pet isn't actually dead (still casts and spends the mana, ugh).

You're lucky that people like me and Aethien even have the filter set to "Never". It's free DPS, why wouldn't you use it? It's like, cast it and no matter what your DPS increases. Pretty simple stuff, if it doesn't trigger any cooldowns, you use it all the time.

IMO, go survival until you have ulduar gear. You aren't goin anywhere as MM compared to survival. I was doing 2k dps as surv at lvl 78 on my hunter if that shades you any other way.
