Marksmanship Hunter 7.3

Recommended Posts

Guys do you have seen the MM changes in 7.1.5? What do you think about them? I am so disappointed to see the Sidewinders vulnerable nerf and the PS redesigned. If the changes will be definitive we need to restudied our rotation because I think Sidewinders will not be so useful as it is now. I hope @Azortharion will post something about this bad news with some good advice to make this spec still usefull and competitive in myth+ and raid, but in my opinion we will lose a lot of damage overall, sidewinders or not :(

btw, Blainie you're awesome, keep up the good work

Your thanks should definitely be directed to Azor. He's the one that puts in huge amounts of time to keep the Hunter community happy and pew-pewing!

Anyway, as for your question: I can't speak 100% for Azor, but he is very meticulous when it comes to testing. I would be very surprised if he had missed it, honestly.

Could you sim the trinkets with the thrice-accursed-compass. 

I'll relay this to him and see if we can get it implemented.

Regardless of what happens, I am sure that Azor will be ready to help anyone achieve the maximum results possible with his guides. Don't worry, he'll guide you to victory!

Because BiS depends on what other stats you have from your other gear. and BiS from 895 titanforges with sockets are basically pointless to make since you'll get 1-2 max before next raid tier releases.

 

BiS list is as follows: What drops for you that pawn says is an upgrade and simming your own character after every new upgrade to get new pawn weights.

hey, question regarding SimulationCraft, how do i change the type of consumable (food) used for the simulation?

thanks

There is a line in the actions.precombat section that reads as such:

actions.precombat+=/food,type=fishbrul_special

You'll need to find/get the APL from somewhere if you just use the simc addon import (I go to import > default profile and get it from there) and you'll see the precombat actions.

Also, I am curious how Pawn ranks trinkets. I currently have http://www.wowhead.com/item=134159&bonus=603:1512:3474 and http://www.wowhead.com/item=134203&bonus=605:1808:3473 with the 200 Agility gem socketed. Azor's Pawn ranks has these two ranked higher than any of the current base level mythic dungeon and mythic EN trinkets. Is it because they are stat sticks? I'm not smart at running sims or anything and am curious with what would I replace them with? I've passed on numerous trinkets because I'm not really sure where the ones I have are at in the damage rankings. I've never been one to put a random proc over flat stats. Any help would be cool.

In regards to War Belt of the Sentinel Army, would it be worth it to spec out of sidewinders? 

From the guide:

Quote

War Belt of the Sentinel Army Icon War Belt of the Sentinel Army causes each enemy hit by Multi-Shot Icon Multi-Shot and Sidewinders Icon Sidewinders to increase the damage done by the next Aimed Shot Icon Aimed Shot by 10%, stacking up to 20 times.

Hope this helps.

Given that 7.1.5 is due in the next month or so, I'd keep the AP. Never know what spec might come out on top.

So I downloaded SimC and simmed my character and such. Where do the results show the trinket damage?

After doing some research, it looks like the closest comparison I have for my trinkets are the 860 Guarm Crit and 860 Guarm Mastery. Both are still better than mine, but it seems like my 850 and 840 aren't too bad. I at least have a better idea of what are considered upgrades. Thanks for the help!

You can change your equipped trinkets and see which one does more DPS.

Question: I know the guide says the ilevel > all else when it comes to relics, but is 5 ilevels higher really worth dropping Quickshot for a crappy trait? I'm loving my 2 minute Trueshot CD--losing that seems rough for 5 ilevels. Have an 865 with Quickshot from Ursoc vs. an 870 with some other trait (not one of the good ones).  Thoughts?

Unfortunately, we can't tell you what you're doing wrong if we know absolutely nothing about what you are doing. I would suggest posting a log in our Hunter forum.

Here is a log of the last two raids. My char is Couup

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/JbVDf1FANMH6aPY7#type=summary&boss=-2&source=16&start=0&end=11136644

Now my gs is about 870 but the dmg is still very poor..

question regarding the opener, is it actually good to be sitting on 2 stacks of Sidewinders while trying to drop focus with Barrage/AiS in the beginning?

Unless I am misunderstanding, you want as many Marked Shots during Trueshot as possible. So I would use Sidewinders as much as possible without capping focus during that period.

No. But it's better than the alternative.

Just saw this, but as I said before, you should post this log in the Hunter Forums. This thread is specifically for feedback on the guide.

      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.

      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.
