Hunter discussion

[Kruf]

Hi , i got 1 question about CS and 2pc set bonus... i used the spredsheet and there just said " Warning: The dps calculated below assumes that you are refreshing your serpent sting when the 2pc T10 bonus procs and then using chimera to maintain it for the rest of the fight to preserve the damage bonus."

Like it says, it assumes you're recasting the sting when you have 2T10 bonus procced and then keeping it rolling until the end with Chimera Shot.

1) Our guild has 3-4 hunters clearing ICC25, our guildmaster suggest that one hunter should take Improved hunters mark, so I took it.
But I don't know is it necessary should I drop it and took +hit talent since I have neck from 10man sindra http://www.wowhead.com/item=51779 and other arp stuff and my hit will drop if I equip these.

IHM makes sense with such a hunter heavy setup, though it makes sense to have someone whose gear has enough hit so he can fit it in without dropping anything important take it. Also consider only one of you having TSA (or even no one if you always have the 10% AP buff from somewhere else). Note that if you're running the "IHM bitch" duty you might also want to take the HM glyph.

As for hit, remember that it's better to gem hit and equip higher ilevel items (and generally better items of same ilevel) - the total amount of stats gained from whole gear is what matters, after all.

2) should I replace distant land http://www.wowhead.com/item=50040 with http://www.wowhead.com/item=51022 because i have it too?

Depends on if you can use the arpen; see the next answer.

3) any general advice, heres my armory link http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet ... h&cn=Tenhu (sorry no better trinkets yet)

You're way over the arpen softcap with that NES equipped yet gemming arpen - that's wasted stats right there. With that gear I'm tempted to suggest ditching that NES for HWT (or some other good trinket) and gemming full arpen and also equipping that Hersir's Greatspear.

Obviously before making any major changes it's recommended to check the expected results with femaledward and/or simulationcraft.

Just had a quick question, do you use the range talent for lich king heroic? Just debating on if it's worth it for killing the orbs quicker or if it's not worth losing the crit on steady shot.

Yes, I use rangespec for LK hardmode - it helps a lot with positioning in some phases and as you said makes it possible to shoot the spheres earlier.

edit: Had one more not really hunter related but maybe you know. Does the death knight thing that makes targets take 30% more damage from diseases work with the plague from phase 1 on shamblers?

I think we tested that early in the progress on LK and came to the conclusion that it does not work, but I could remember wrong.

Are you looking forward to the focus change and camoflauge?

Another quick question - Im seeing that SS should be reapplied when the Tier10 bonus procs, do you have an addon that shows when it procs? I have MSBT and Im not seeing it there (although Im not CONSTANTLY staring at it lol) so I wanted to know if there was an easier way to be told when the bonus procs.

Thanks!

Nvm - found that TellMeWhen or PowerAuras does it - sorry and thanks anyway!
