I currently have 69% Mastery, 20% Crit, 14% Haste and 9% Vers (all rounded numbers). I have a feeling my Crit is a little bit on the lower side, or is it still better to stack mastery/haste over crit?

Any thoughts on this is appreciated, thanks!

Currently, your Haste is lower than Crit, so actually your Haste is on the lower side.

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Hi Azortharion, 

I'm a big fan! My question is this; I just got exalted with Nightfallen and have now unlocked my 8 class hall pieces. Do you recommend using the whole set to get the 8 set bonus?

I imagine it depends on what your alternatives are. What would your best possible setup without the 8-set be?

Right now my gear is mostly the class hall stuff, all upgraded to 840. I have the 6 piece bonus currently, simply because the 500 agility increase outweighs replacing those items with any slightly higher item level items I have come across, and the bracers have a gem socket as well. The items I have left to make my 8 piece set is the shoulders and the belt; the shoulders are a little better than what I have but the belt is a downgrade. I'm mostly just wondering what the 8 set bonus is like, because it seems good on paper but I've not come across many other people who have it all unlocked who can give advice.

I'd say the best thing to do is just sim your two different sets of gear against each other. I'm not good enough at Hunter to tell whether this would be good or not, but I can help with the sims at least.

i'm good when it comes to base math and I use the pawn strings provided. I tend to do follow up math based on sockets and set bonuses just to make sure it is accounted for in pawn (unsurprisingly set bonuses aren't and I can't quite tell with sockets, some seem to count and some don't)

 

my question is what kind of sim do you guys use? I've tried looking through the internet and I can't find one as far as I can tell.  reason I need to find is is I got an 830 agi haste trinket with a socket (1023 agi, 865 haste) and it's extrememly hard to compare it to my 840 tempered egg of serpentrix (1123 agi).

Should the Blood Thirsty trinket be for survival only?  Tooltip says 'melee'.

All trinkets that specify Melee or Ranged are misleading currently, as they will proc for both Ranged and Melee attacks/spells.  Tooltips can't be updated with a hotfix however, so they unfortunately stay misleading until the next patch, which is most likely going to be the 7.1 Return to Karazhan patch.

@Azortharion

I have some questions about the rotation. Single target is easy to follow, but you're write up on the AOE rotation is very confusing to me. I was trying to break it up into 2, 3, and 4+ target rotation, but I couldn't. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I just couldn't figure it out. Is the following correct?

 

2 Target Rotation: 

1. Kill command (since you say "this takes priority over Multi Shot on 2 targets only.)

2. Multi Shot (just enough to keep up Beast Cleave)

3. Dire Beast

4. Cobra Shot (if focus > 90 and Beast Cleave buff > 1.5 sec). Else, use Multi Shot. 

 

This seems to be consistent with your write up, but it doesn't make sense to me that Kill Command should be lower than Dire Beast for single target and higher for 2 targets. Am I missing something? 

 

I had had similar issues trying to unpack the 3 and 4+ target rotations. I'd love it if you (or anyone else) could expand on these. 

Thanks a million for the great guides!

2 targets:

  1. Kill Command.
  2. Multi-Shot enough to keep Beast Cleave up.
  3. Dire Beast / Dire Frenzy.
  4. Cobra Shot at over 90 Focus and Beast Cleave has more than 1.5 seconds remaining. 
  5. Multi Shot.

3 targets:

  1. Multi-Shot enough to keep Beast Cleave up.
  2. Dire Beast / Dire Frenzy.
  3. Kill Command.
  4. Cobra Shot at over 90 Focus and Beast Cleave has more than 1.5 seconds remaining. 
  5. Multi Shot.

4 targets:

  1. Multi-Shot enough to keep Beast Cleave up.
  2. Dire Beast / Dire Frenzy.
  3. Multi-Shot if you have the Surge of the Stormgod trait.
  4. Kill Command.

It will just be gear weighted towards Mastery/Haste from M+ with Bloodthirsty Instinct + Unstable Arcanocrystal.

I'm confused, does Kill Command still work like on WoD? It becomes AoE during Beast Cleave?

Kill Command has never procced Beast Cleave damage.

I am finding that its opening sequence is wrong, you put bank crows before bestial wrath, but so you will lose the bonus bestial wrath of damage, not the other way around?

Crows' damage updates dynamically, so if you use crows > bestial wrath, it will still get the damage buff.  The only thing that doesn't update dynamically is Feral Druid bleeds.

Please forgive me in case this question has been already answered but I couldn't find any thread about this, you mention that you recommend spending 13 traits into BM before developing the MM Artifact, do you mean 13 traits like 13 levels  that means up to Furious Swipes or 13 full developed circles up to Titan's thunder?

Thank you

Furious Swipes is enough.

When is Stampede better than Kill Cobra for this raiding tier? I was finally happy to give it a try during Xavius, but then the group decided to just burn the boss to under 65% to only get one add. In the end my DPS was much lower than with Kill Cobra.

Is it worth picking for Dragons? Maybe use it on the shades?

Are you sure? By my count, 13 levels only gives you 1/3 in Furious Swipes.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
