Hunter discussion

I feel like I'm in pretty good shape at the moment. I'm just curious if anyone sees anything that needs to change. I currently raid as both MM and SV, depending on which spec the other hunter is, so I'm reluctant to switch to full ArPen gems. Any advice/critiques would be appreciated.

Why do you have Improved Arcane Shot? Dropping it shows as definite dps win both in SimulationCraft and femaledwarf. Also, why do you need to have a SV hunter in raids? In 25mans it should be easy enough to get 2x Replenishment from classes that don't lose almost anything for it, and it's even worse having to have multiple people make their gear a huge compromise between two specs. If you really want to run with a SV hunter then designate someone who has nearly 100% attendance and have everyone else gear for optimal DPS (read: MM).

Most of your gearing choices are held back by the need to be able to go SV without major dps loss - for example the ICC10 boots are better than what you have for MM since you can just spec into Focused Aim and dump the hit rating for something more useful, but as SV you don't really have any spare talent points. Of course you could keep two different gear sets, but even then you'll end up suffering from not being able to gem optimally.

The reason for this post is that I want to know the gear I bring this well and if there something in my talents or glyphs there something wrong.
Also in that I can improve and if there best loot you can get consistent with my progress.
On the other hand, if the chest and bring gloves are better than the T10 251 LVL
or expect to have the Lvl 264?

First of all, you're not hitcapped. That's a major no-no, hit is still by far the best stat (far better than arpen) until you're capped. Secondly, do not take that point out of GftT, rather dump the last point from Rapid Recuperation or something. The pet dps loss from not having 1/2 GftT is rather major compared to some other talents you could drop.

4T10 is worth roughly 200-250dps - I doubt a few ilevel 264 items will offset that really. Besides most of the T10 pieces (except legs...) have pretty good stat distribution on them. And you could use the hit from the gloves.

PS. Use that Nightmare Tear in some item where you can get a socket bonus with it. Oh and Icewalker is by far the best boots enchant dps-wise if you're not hitcapped.

I was wondering which glyphs you use on each fight in heroic icc.. I've seen a lot of hunters switching in between killshot,hawk, chimera.. Which glyphs are the best for which bosses? I know earlier in the thread you talked about ks being better for putricide/sindragosa and chimera for fights where you had multiple stings rolling on targets but what about glyph of the hawk is it even feasible to consider using?

Glyph of the Hawk is generally the best choice in a high arpen setup for a pure standstill, no-adds fight. However, seeing how practically none of the ICC fights are like that, I'd go with Aimed or Chimera anyway.

Hi Kruf.

Thank you very much for your advice and I think that captures well.
In the Heroic Dummy arrived at the 8.5 k dps and maintain peak on average 7.5k
and note the significant change in the dps.
If you check my armory again would be great =D

Well Kruf many thanks for the advice and I repeat you're cool =P.

Thanks for your reply. So far I've stayed SV because until recently, we haven't had very good attendance by either a ret pally or shadow priest. Now that they started showing up again I'll probably stick with MM. As a side note, I've been consistantly out-dpsing both of our other MM hunters in my SV spec. I don't know if that's good on my part or bad on theirs, but either way I'll take your advice and see how it goes.

As for my MM spec, I do need to respec out of Imp. Arcane shot and I should be getting my crafted boots made. I also have Precious' Collar to boost my hit back up.

Thanks again for the advice.

Hey Kruf I was wondering if you could take a look at my armory and just reassure that I'm doing everything correct.

Hello Kruf! Firs of all gratz for world first kill on LK 25hc! (even if that was ages ago now)

This is my character: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet ... %C3%B3ctus

Atm I know I'm OC on hit, but just because I was thinking to remove Mark of Supremacy and change it with Herkuml War Token. Since we are just 10 man raiding guild, I usually (depends for raid setup) play as SURV hunter for mana replanish, but out of our raids I play as MM hunter. Tbh I'm not sure how much lower dps I have with ArP gems as SURV hunter. Also I'm not sure about Herkuml War Token, if that would be the best upgrade for me atm? My DPS is thing I'm not sure about it also, usually on bosses it is around 7-8k DPS on 10 man raids, but I never test it on some spreadsheet, so I don't have a clue how high it should be.

So if you can help me with some tips I would be more than grateful!

Thank you and good luck on raids!
