And it is something that I had forgotten about (like the extra damage vs dazed) until one DPS died while we were fighting Heroic Warp Splinter (sp?). We were low on DPS and he was getting heals.....Until this forgetful hunter remembered the one true reason for a BM to use Aimed Shot. Remember that it debuffs an inhibit healing. Other than that, I fully agree that Aimed Shot should generally be avoided by BM hunters.<BR/>-Gunsnbutter Excelsior/UtherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-16207003018373670722008-05-02T00:34:00.000-06:002008-05-02T00:34:00.000-06:00You read my mind before I had the chance to ask! =...You read my mind before I had the chance to ask! =O<BR/><BR/>I've been meaning to ask about gemming. I asked Drotara from Less QQ, More Pew Pew a few days ago 'cos it seemed like he would know more about what MM hunters should look for on agi v. AP. Overall, I think there's a consensus that Agi is better than AP. I guess I'll have to rethink my gemming in the future. I've been hoarding AP lately...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-27994540357071675042008-05-01T20:11:00.000-06:002008-05-01T20:11:00.000-06:00I'm a WOW newbie, and your blog and The Hunter's M...I'm a WOW newbie, and your blog and The Hunter's Mark have helped me IMMENSELY with a lot of WOW basics; one of the first characters I rolled was a hunter and I ditched her for a long time until I found your blog. Now she's my main and just hit 40 today, and hunter is definitely my favorite class. <BR/><BR/>And I've found some of your PVP tips so completely necessary for battleground survival. Feign death wins. (I am shocked by the number of non-hunters and even hunters who stop attacking me and run off when I hit this. And by the number of hunters who forget to put their pet back on me after I pop back up, or who don't use it themselves.)<BR/><BR/>So I mostly wanted to thank you for blogging and inspiring me to give hunters another go. <BR/><BR/>That said, I would love a hunter kindergarten entry on playing a BM hunter pre-Steady Shot, if you have time. Or on hunter roles in lower-level instances — I don't see much about that out there, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-87032401651948569552008-05-01T17:29:00.000-06:002008-05-01T17:29:00.000-06:00You learn something new every day :)I have to admi...You learn something new every day :)<BR/><BR/>I have to admit that while I do know some things about hunters (especially pets...but not as much as Mania), hunter stats are foreign to me. If I may make a request, it would be great if you could put together a list of what stats do what for a hunter and include leveling, raiding, PvP, whatever. That would certainly help <B>me</B> out a lot.Faeldrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144815682821758206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-44176846908514693742008-05-01T16:35:00.000-06:002008-05-01T16:35:00.000-06:00mm, I forgot about the rhythm part.That's really t...mm, I forgot about the rhythm part.<BR/><BR/>That's really the big key to getting the most out of it.<BR/><BR/>It's sad that people don't know better when it comes to shot rotations. I'm still trying to figure out how I can squeeze more out of mine, I was first the other night with around 478 DPS in an Old Hills run by myself (not including pet), with my old gun. I'm supposed to average 220 DPS with that, so double DPS for me is pretty damn solid.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see how the new bow does. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-9047293909274129212008-05-01T15:47:00.000-06:002008-05-01T15:47:00.000-06:00Another terrific post, Pike. :)@ Awlbiste: Just to...Another terrific post, Pike. :)<BR/><BR/><B>@ Awlbiste</B>: Just to tag on to what Sonvar said, an Aimed Shot opening isn't a bad thing at all, but (a) be sure your pet has a good amount of aggro--maybe a couple Growls (it's never too early to use a threat meter, IMO--helps you learn the hunter-pet synergy faster); and (b) be ready to follow with Concussive if the Aimed crits and grabs aggro.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-15364634883895657902008-05-01T15:10:00.000-06:002008-05-01T15:10:00.000-06:00If one really wanted you could cast concussion sho...If one really wanted you could cast concussion shot and then do a steady to get the extra damage but overall not really worth it. Even though that nugget of good info was in there Barrens chat for the most part is normally only good for inane chatter. <BR/><BR/>@awlbite<BR/>Really there are only two things you can do which is a multi shot and keeping up a serpent sting. If you want more to do over the course of the fight you can place a trap at the mob's feet.
