I tried using Murder of Crows before and after Bestial Wrath and I could not keep my focus up if I used it before the Bestial Wrath. I've compared hasterating of myself and some of the experienced Hunters here and while it is lower, it's not that much lower. Not enough to make the difference at least.

    If I had the 4 set bonus I think I would be flat out focus starved during the Bestial Wrath.

    I'm not here to complain or whine, or say I'm right and someone else is wrong. I'm merely trying to figure out why I've having focus issues if I use Murder of Crows before the Bestial Wrath. Tehstool and Joyful both know what they are doing so I'm not doubting them being wrong. I just... don't grasp the problem.
    That's where the cobra shots come into play. Refresh SrS and more focus for more pew pew.

    I suppose.
    I'm still in the mindset of casting Cobra during Bestial Wrath causing a random kitten to explode somewhere. And I love kittens. Maybe when I get my 4 set things will feel a bit less weird.

    Yeah, because you could just cobra shot after BW without the 4 piece since SrS will still be up. Not sure how you'd go about doing this without the 4 piece.

    Don't SrS update dynamically or when a new CS is fired?

    I believe it updates dynamically.

    Just tried it on the dummy now and it updates as soon as it gets refreshed (CS) or re-casted.

    Ah, I see. I was looking through logs and stuff and forgot about cobra shot refreshing it and stuff in the process so my bad.

    So I guess it's kind of dynamic XD

    So why not simply cast SrS? My CoS are > 1 GCD even with RF up.

    EDIT: Ah missed the rest of the conversation. If you're having focus issues with the 4 set, yeah, it makes sense.

    If you recast SrS you lose a GCD, if you use cobra shot you at least get some damage and you refresh SrS while doing that you also get more focus for more arcane shots for the rest of the duration and the next BW rather than being focus starved and having to cobra shot anyway.

    Well, the GCD is being spent on Imp SS and SrS, so I wouldn't really call it 'lost'. If you weren't going to end with near zero focus, the extra focus you get from a CoS is offset by the 1.3/1.4 cast time of the CoS wasting time you could have spent on an Arcane. Like I said, the only time I would see CoS being necessary during a BW is if you're starved for focus.

    Currently, I can't use my 4 set because I have Zorlok's Fizzing thingy and Sword Dancer leggings.... which are higher dps than my RF tier pieces -_-

    Ehh... if you play BM, the 4set will most likely be higher dps, I really can't see it not being higher dps.

    Imp SS? Improved Serpent Sting? BM doesn't get that sadly. In regards to your 4 piece, I'd take it it is surely a dps increase.

    It doesn't? :O

    Gah I really need to stop taking things for granted. It really is a wasted GCD then, I concede your point.

    ES - Main cooldown, get this off ASAP + Hunters mark for the rest of your abilities if you are the only hunter.
    BA - High Dpf and resets ES, you want this up ASAP and you want to apply this as the CD comes available.
    Srs - Inifinite dpf and extremely strong, get this off early in the fight.
    RF - Contrary to Bm, Survival is very focus starved at the start of the fight, use this in prep for the 60 focus drop on Amoc
    DB - Similar to RF you should get this off for AMOC prep.
    GT - Position yourself to have any adds between you and the boss, other than that use this on CD instead of a AS for focus dump.
    ES - by this time ES is off Cd, if it is, use it, if it is not, CS till you can cast both AMOC and ES, this will let you never waste the ES Cd.
    Stampede - high damage, get this off during the last 5-6 seconds of RF.
    AS - Only AS if you have spare 25+ focus, it's good damage and a good dump, but you should always prioritize ES and BA over this.
    BA - Refresh this around this time, Directly after that use readiness.
    ES - After readiness, use ES get that on Cd ASAP for BA procs.
    RF - Again, use this in preparation for AMOC.
    AMOC - once the Dot is finished, reapply this.
    BA - when the dot from the BA you used before readiness has <1 second left, reapply it.
    Continue using ES and BA on cd mixing in cobra shots and arcane shots for focus manipulation.

    And use RF during bloodlust, the added haste is amazing. All of this should be done in the first 30 seconds or so of the fight, the rest is really simple in using CDs and managing focus. you can prepot and such if you want. MD is also nice to throw in ~5 seconds before the pull. this opening works out very well for how bad my gear is, and will only get stronger with the more haste and crit you have.
    Apart from the missing AMOC which i assume is popped after first RF, is this right? Recently 'rerolled' hunter, and try to avoid playing SV as i dont like it but will be needed soon.
