So a couple of updates of interest to us hunters today. The biggest is that Ferocious Inspiration will also increase the damage of your Arcane Shot by up to 9%! So they’re really pushing to make arcane shot a part of our rotation. Though as I mentioned before, we’ll just macro it and still end up pushing only one button.
Survival got a couple of nerfs to their recently PTR increased damage. Taking that gift right back they are. No pew pew for you. Blizz is holding firm on the theory that Survival hunters should suck.
They we have a couple of pet buffs. Spirit Beast is getting a damage increase – combine that with the change to make longevity actually work with spirit strike and damnit, they look downright appealing. And I’m not happy about that, ’cause I do *not* want to have to go find one. That is hard work. They also are buffing the damage of cats and scorpids, after several rounds of nerfing. Apparently, much like the dwarves of Moria, they nerfed too far.
So if this all comes to pass, is the beloved 51-15-5 build still going to be a winner? or will a 51-20+glyphs work better?

It’s hard to say — I’ll definitely be spending a log of gold trying out new specs though.
With Arcane Shot becoming part of our rotation, Improved Arcane shot suddenly becomes a worthwhile talent. Is 15% damage on a spell with a 6 second cooldown worth 3 talent points? Right now, with no testing, I don’t think so.
Keep in mind that those 3 talent points in Improved Tracking will increase your hunter dps by about 3%. Don’t think you’re getting that much bang out of Improved Arcane.
as for the macro on the Arcane shot how would u put it in the roation? right now i got steady shot and auto shot. could u give me a hand with that. Yemaya 79 BE Hunter Thunderlords sever
