I'm probably not personally experienced enough to give you as good advice as the paragon hunters can, but i don't think you had enough passive ArP to gem for it, but if you are going to gem for it use Hellion Glaive instead of your current weapon. also get the crafted 264 legs, as they are BIS pre heroic ICC 25 and get T10 chest instead of EoF chest, you should have around 800 ArP from gear alone before you gem for it. I'm sure the paragon hunters can give you better feedback, but yeah I just wana help :) Oh and if possible, try and get the belt from festergut 25 man or blood princes 10 man, also get the EoF back and try and get the ToC 10 neck with the socket for around 60 extra arp if your gemming it with arp

Without second thought I'd say refer to the post above. If not 750-800+ passiv ArP from gear Don't gem for it.

You can't decide based on your arpen alone, you need to factor in the weapon used also because it has a huge effect on the physical vs nonphysical damage balance.

That being said, 547 arpen sounds like pretty lowlevel gear, so stick with agi.

Without checking with spreadsheet/simulationcraft I'd guess DBW+WFS for trinkets and Hellion Glaive for melee weapon, but it wouldn't hurt to confirm.



Like someone already mentioned, replace the T10 legs with crafted ones (or even T9) and get T10 chest. Then consider getting the badge cloak.

As an additional benefit from using Hellion Glaive you'll stop wasting some of your hit rating, as right now you're pretty far above the cap.

No. 1400 is hard cap.

Hello kruf! I was wondering if you would take the time to review my previous week of raiding via WoL

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... oulkeeperx

Comparing me (Soulkeeperx) to are other hunter Remistus.
Dmg wise what can I improve and what not?

My rotation is HM>RF (with CoTW macroed)> Serpent>Chim>Aim> Readiness> Repeat chim and aim then x4 steady and hitting RF when first is done... Silence shot is macroed to Chim and Aim

Thank you !

Edit: Forgot my armory =)

I'm not Kruf, but you should re-think the way you're opening fights and using RF. I made a post about this a few posts up.

Just a quick question, for marksman not sure which trinkets I should use, I have death bringer's will, whispering fanged skull, and death's choice(not heroic). Was leaning towards DBW and Death's Choice just wondering what you thought.

DBW is by far the best one of those. Heroic WFS is better than 245 DC, I think, but I could be wrong, I haven't verified that. Why not check what femaledwarf says?

Why Greatness? HWT is about as good, might be slightly better, and DC/WFS are definitely better (though I suppose you might not have been lucky with the drops).

Popping Rapid Fire before you do the initial instants is not very optimal playing. If you don't need to double MD right away you should also delay Readiness until the Rapid Fire buff has ran out (in fact, after Rapid Fire has ran out and you have just fired Chimera & Aimed, to maximize the benefit).



On Rotface, it took a full minute to get the stack of 5 sunders up. And Saurfang. And Festergut. And then I couldn't be bothered to check any more...

All the tweaking with your cooldown usage is literally nothing compared to the dps loss from not having the proper debuffs up.
