Megadeath 4 Report post Posted January 15, 2015 Another question I find Thrill of the hunt better over steady. Is steady better or how much of a sim difference is there It's really a minor dps difference, and only if you play steady focus up to 95% perfect which is in movement heavy fights not always possible, so many hunters keep using TotH for the extra movement you get from it.

Orthios 271 Report post Posted January 15, 2015 I'm still confused about explosive trap. Use it if you've got nothing else to do and you don't want to spend your focus on arcane shot (ie. If ES/BA is coming off cd soon and using AS would cause you to go below the needed focus for ES/BA). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niix 169 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 I'm still confused about explosive trap. Only use explosive trap if you don't have Thrill procs up, or you don't have a multi-strike proc up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niix 169 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 If you have a multistrike proc right off the bat, definitely use Arcane Shot right away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iridar 80 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Exotic beasts act no differently than a regular pet. Any pet in ferocity spec will do. Was actually wondering about the viability of AOE abilities Chimeras and Worms have. Probably not very strong, but hey, BM is renowned for multi target cleaving anyway. Would be nice to know if these special abilities amount to something this time around. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those Aoe abilities interrupt the pet melee, so you end up losing value from beast cleave and its a dps loss. Not sure about SV, could get some value on a fight like tectus i suppose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've personally tried in on multiple fights and I rarely if ever see high level MM taking Stampede in logs, AMoC seems to always outperform it. Because it's better. You need a very specific fight length. Like almost exactly 4:44, 9:44 or 14:44. Basically a time that will leave you just shy of another stampede.

esp 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 Hi guys, new huntard here! =) Is it worth to have a macro to stopcast any steady shot if an ability becomes available like chimera or Black Arrow? Or is is better to, say, have a 0.3/0.5 sec delay in using those abilities and land the steady shot? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is to prevent spam. Thank you. You shouldn't be surprised by an ability coming off cooldown. Having a stopcasting macro is useful but it's not really for canceling a spell, you'd most of the time be better off just completing the cast. Unless it's a 2 second focusing shot and you have enough focus for your explosive shot and you JUST started the cast, and then you could just sidestep it and cancel it with movement. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless it's a 2 second focusing shot and you have enough focus for your explosive shot and you JUST started the cast, and then you could just sidestep it and cancel it with movement. I'd like to hear a more in depth answer to this question. As survival, I'll use Cobra Shot when I'm low on focus and none of my abilities are off cooldown. However, I'll start the cast and Lock and Load will proc, resetting the cooldown of Explosive shot. Since the Lock and Load-Explosive shot's are free, and I won't need the focus gained from Cobra shot to cast them, would it be a dps increase for a stopcasting macro in this case?

Azortharion 60 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 It wouldn't, just finish the cast. You'll still want the focus afterwards. Besides, a stopcasting macro would mean that you either delay Explosive Shot (and stop your rotation) for a fraction of a secondin a lot of cycles because a Cobra Shot leads up to the Explosive Shot and you can't spam Explosive Shot before the CS shot finishes, forcing you into this little jerk-time of waiting for the cast to finish and then hitting the button. Your reaction time here is lost DPS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering what you guys are doing at certain ilevels. 670, doing 30k+ on most fights as TotH + Lone Wolf. My gear is cherry picked: I have 3 crafted items 665 ilvl that I rolled into having multistrike, and 3 PvP 660 ilvl items with multistrike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering what you guys are doing at certain ilevels. For Kargath and Butcher, I do around 25k dps depending on procs, on Brackenspore and Tectus it's more around 28-30k dps and on Twins I usually do around 27k dps. This is with horribly itemized gear that you can see in my sig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
