Hunter Rotation for 4.0.1 onwardFollow

#1 Oct 24 2010 at 6:51 PM Rating: Decent
Hey guys just asking what hunter rotations work for you as the three hunter specs.

BM, MM, and Survival. Just need the info for my g/f for one so she can get back into raiding and doing heroics before cata. We practiced on the dummy and without a steady rotation she was pulling 1.8k dps at lvl 80 in t9 gear.

I'm curious about this too. I just returned to the game after 3 years and all the changes are definitely taking some time to learn.

I was previously Marksman, but I respecced to Survival so I could learn that way of doing things. it's VASTLY different than it was. (plus my main is only 63, so I don't have some of the talents yet.)


Any Survival tips for a neonewb?

Well for SV you want to always use your special abilities when possible. I think the shot numbers have been tweaked but I don't know if it's live yet.

So for SV, make sure hunter's mark is up, as well as always keep serpent sting up. Black Arrow whenever it is off cooldown and Explosive shot whenever it is off cooldown, if you have excess focus while waiting, use arcane shot to focus dump. If you need to regen focus use steady shot, for the time being to regen. Just keep in mind your cooldowns, you don't want to be casting too many steadys and not using your special abilities, and you don't want to sit at full focus ever.

Thanks for the tips!

How much do you utilize traps in PvE?

Right now with Trap Launcher using 2 GCD's it's not worth really throwing out an explosive/immolation trap. Whenever trap launcher allows us to use it better macro'd then it's possible that throwing out a trap at a boss will be used for a bit of an increase in dps. You could also force proc LnL if you use an ice trap.

I disagree. Using black arrow sucks up so much focus it will lower your dps far more that throwing out a trap which costs next to nothing and guarantees a LnL proc. This is just from my experience, but I've been really happy with my numbers; especially versus MM hunters. They always whisper me and ask "what spec are you, whats your rotation, what macros do you use?" SV, there isn't one, and no.
