I have been having trouble getting 4 rapid fires in. Usually I only get 2. Do I hit readiness/rapid fire as soon as my first R F is up?

IHM Build Questions:

When does it make sense? We run 3-4 hunters (including myself) in 25 man, and I’ve been specced IHM since Ulduar/ToC. I was glyphed for it as well, but recently swapped that glyph for the Steady glyph, with the fix to Marked for Death (Steady/Serpent/KS as major glyphs). With that many hunters, it would make sense, since you are, in effect, giving each hunter ~650 additional AP (500+(500*.3)) on top of their already high AP from their gear. The personal DPS difference is fairly minimal (~500 dps, maybe) but I guess I’m looking for a secondary opinion on whether or not its worth it, with our particular raid comp.

HM Glyph – Is it better/worse than Steady? I’m of a mind to set my secondary spec identical to my primary, and just change the glyphs, and see what happens, but not 100% sure if that will really show anything.

Great work Frost

I’ve been MM for a long time and there’s nothing “new” here for me personally. But it’s still great to read and know you are on the right path.

I’m just about to drop Arcane shot. I had been spec’d the “noob” way until now as I like the extra instant shot in my standard rotation. But this weekend I am dropping KS Glyph and moving over to SS glyph and lose Arcane Shot(along with talents change). However I only have 396 ArPen BUT the DPS is the same for me but time to OOM is +40seconds…so at the very least it’s a mana gain.

Thanks for the article, Frost.
I’m a survival hunter, reluctant to hop onto the MM bandwagon until my gear gets to the magical ArP number. it’s good to know I’ll have some kind of guidance when that happens.

So my question is this:
If you are in a fight were heroism is not used at the start and instead is used 2 mins in lets say. Will you get a bigger boost from waiting on heroism then popping rapid/readiness (meaning you would most likely only get 2 rapid) or should you still pop it at the beginning and get 4 total.
Thanks

Thank you very much Frosty.

I have been looking for an answer to that question for weeks. All of the sources I found that pertained to this – Auto-Shot interruption – were out dated and I could not tell if it was still relevant.

I hope this has helped other Hunters who were looking for the same answer.

Thank you again.

Kids, learning to read and write can REALLY pay off! Stay in school.
