MM hunters current state

Hunter Archive Patch 7.0+
1

I have been reading a lot about the rotations and stuff for hunters even going as far as to read Azortharions post on hunters. He does the Icy veins post. If you look below according to him we should be using lock and load now and not true aim, also we should be using piercing shot. Has anyone tried adjusting their macros with these?

quick test I whipped up, test it out please
Edit: position yourself kinda close to the mob pack so Explosive Shot hits all of them, or take Patient Sniper if you don’t want to worry about it.

Going to test it now

With patient sniper I was only pulling 130k DPS with explosive standing close I was getting 230k dps both on 3 minute test. Both are a big loss over the old MM BOSS macro I was using. I cant figure it out. Thanks for the try though. If I weave in some arcane shots to proc marked shot then use it manually also it does a little better about 260k. I only have 858 gear on hunter but still less then an old macro without PS or ES. Might be a harder rotation to macro. Nothing I make even comes close though.

Yea with this one I burst over 600k then level out at about 388k on 3 minute test. Guess Ill stick to this till I figure out a better one or someone else makes another good one. On this I use volley though and not AMoC.

@Burx,

How are you generating enough focus when you don’t have Arcane Shot in your rotation?

Did you look at your focus while testing?

@Glognar, I did add /cast [nochanneling] Arcane Shot
to the macro in-game, just need to update the first post here.
