I have a poweraura addon which monitor the serpent sting and LNL procs. Addtional addon to monitor my mana during fights. In the midst of all these action, I am just spamming the Steady/Autoshot macro. But somehow, at the end of the 25men raid, my dps just will not break the 4K mark, when other dps-ers are churning 4K+dps. I know there's something which I have done wrong. But i do not know what's wrong. I have seen other hunters critting at almost 75% of their EP, whereas mine is critting at only 50% of the time even tho I am making use of the extra 10yards bonus etc. Why is that so even if my crit rating is higher than his? Love to hear on your advice to improve myself and clear my doubts. Rgds, Jerkogist (Caelestrasz) hi frost,

being a sv hunter, there are alot more things to look out for other than being a BM hunter before woltk release.
usually my eyes are on these few key factors
1) EP CDs
2) Serpent stings DOT timer on target
3) Mana reduction during fight
4) LNL proc from stings or trap

how do you maintain checks on all these? I have a poweraura addon which monitor the serpent sting and LNL procs. Addtional addon to monitor my mana during fights.

Great blog, fun and useful!

If not, use Black Ice. (sorry but i still think that someone that has both of these two best hunter statsticks should know which one should he be wearing :) to cpdragon: if you are hit capped, use Journey´s end.

You have to relearn the encounter! :P Unless you guys brought sub par DPS, then it's their fault. Since I wasn't there I clearly have no idea. See what happens when you kill Maly without me!?!?!

That's good dps. You can certainly up your dps by tweaking your talents. You only need 2/3 in Expose Weakness and 2/5 in Hunting party to have them up all the time. Take 3 ranks in Noxious Stings -- that gives you +3% to your dps right there. Quivering: I hear ya man, but p1 Maly is a poor measuring stick. I'll often do around 2.7k on p1, but be at 7.7k by the end of the Maly fight from the awesomeness that is p3. 3-3.5k in 10-mans is very respectable.

If you don't mind, can you share with us your basic rotation where you pulled off 5.5k DPS? Most I've ever been able to do on patch is a 25 man is 4.7k. /shrug http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Baelgun&n=Sandwich So, as a SV hunter, I’m pretty much all 25 man gear equipped and just cannot seem to pull the most DPS I think I could.

I am absolutely and utterly thankful for every bit of information that you pass along on this site. WTG guys. Keep up the excellent work! P.S. Has your non-WoW roommate started her character yet :)? having just broke the 3k dps mark (still outfitted with some pre-Naxx gear), I can attest that this entire site has helped in every aspect of play for me.
