want to push to 6500 dps

[TrapTime]

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&cn=Trapmaster --- my main

Few weeks after being geared up toward to 5.498gs and almost getting to 5500 dps in icc 10 man, 25 man 6k dps. I am still frusating getting toward to 6.5 dps.
I have been doing rotation so far silencing shot,Serpent sting, Chimera shot, Aimed shot, Arcane shot. Chimera shot to refresh ss and does damage, aim shot, arcane shot, Sielcening shot. rinse and repeat. I don't understand why i am unable to get to 6k? What am i doing wrong? I have like 433 arp, 52% critical, and hit capped 355* atm going try aim below 280*

what am i doing wrong?

*meh, why is the link broken and unable to show my armory?*

I don't know anything about hunters but seeing your MM spec, Don't they stack arm pen?

Yes, i have 433 armor pen, I was told to keep arcane shot in priority shot.

[Asgard]

Yes.

With NES, get to 722 armorpen. That'll get you a bit closer to your 6.5k goal.

[allforone]

There are crossover points for when to drop arcane shot for another Steady shot and when to start getting armor pen over agi/attack power. Not sure off the top of my head as to those points though.

[Gungtah]

I think you're supposed to just drop arcane shot with your ArP...

Are you using your cooldowns EVERY time?

Macroes might edge out a couple seconds if you aren't currently using them

But yeah, dropping that hit for a better stat will help, but also drop the Agi/Stam blue gems for a Nightmare tear

Didn't look at your spec, but I'm just guessing it's fine, unless you have points in Improved Arcane, then you can drop that since you're dropping Arcane Shot

Don't stack ArP til 800 ungemmed... But yeah, I'd drop Arcane shot

i popped up cooldown everytime it's up. well i need at least one yellow gem, blue and red for Meta gem requirement to work it so should i really need to drop agility/stamina blue gem for nightmare tear?

[Gungtah]

Well yeah, it's just a minor DPS increase with Careful Aim, the 10 int > 5 stam

For min/max purposes... Then again why would you want the 5 stam instead of 10 int?

[TrapTime]

So 10agi/15stamina gem replaced by nightmare tear will help increase my dps. So i don't need to worry about meta gem requirement?

The nightmare tear activates your meta by itself. Counts as blue, red and yellow.

Beat me to it

Thanks I didn't knew that XD wished i could knew it before >.< Thanks again

i'd put the 1 point in efficiency to imp hunter mark.
and use 2sets t9,even u only get 232 version
get a rock steady boots
also build silence shot and kill command into ur chimera/aimed marco
shortly before pull,drink potion of wild magic and during BL drink another one.

I have been doing rotation so far silencing shot,Serpent sting, Chimera shot, Aimed shot, Arcane shot.

Is this the correct rotation for a MM hunter? I don't think it is. With the steady shot glyph and extra crit chance and buffs from talents, should StS net more dmg than even arcane shot? and most definitely silencing shot. I would think a better use of your mana would be <sting>---> chimera, aimed, StSx4 <---and repeat (w/o re-applying the sting).

Also, make sure you are using Rapid Fire, Readiness, Rapid Fire to maximize dps. So a sample opening dps parse would look something like this:

Lord Marrowgar,

1.Misdirect
2. Sting
3. Rapid Fire +trinkets +Call of wild + other crap
4. chimera
5. aimed
6. SS x4
7. chimera
8. aimed
9. Readiness
10. Rapid fire again
11. chimera
12. Aimed
13. SSx4
14. repeat steps 11-13 until boss dies or RF refreshes

or maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about - try it out?

[nidaime]

Since you already dropped your arcane shot thats good

You should gem for ArP until you get to 720ish plus NES. Don't gem to agility until you are at that point. You are nearly 3% over hit cap so drop some hit gear for some ArP/crit gear... even if that means down grading some gear. Always go for crit over haste with gear (such as getting the t10 shoulders over the pauldrons of lost hope).

Then change your pet spec so that you are getting culling the herd and you dont need the phoenix talent.

Since you have so much haste you might want to put glyph of chimera shot in and see how it wrks into your rotation. should go (during a fight) CS - AS - SSx3 then repeat. Simple rotation.

You can look at my spec (gear http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&cn=eddiemoney)

I have roughly the same gear score and usually put out 9.5k 25man buffed (ie Lady Deathwhisper/fester/etc)

[Elam]

Uhh.

Am I the only one who sees no mention of him using Steady Shot between shot CDs?

Because that would be more of an issue than any gemming/enchanting.

[nidaime]

SS = Steady Shot

[Elam]

SS = Steady Shot

Chimera shot to refresh ss and does damage, aim shot, arcane shot, Sielcening shot. rinse and repeat. I don't understand why i am unable to get to 6k? What am i doing wrong?

The only time he SS is when he's pretty obviously referring to Serpent.

[Karrisa]

He wrote"refresh ss" so it's serpent sting,but i dont think he can pull 6k without steady shot.
IMO it's not worth it to gem for ArP softcap, since NES only has a 10% uptime.

I forgot that Silencing Shot is off GCD - therefore, if you can spare the mana, macro it to your chimera shot with Kill Command as well. That way, on every 10th chimera shot (in a normal rotation) you should be seeing a silence shot, chimera, and KC. This is for maximum dps output, but is a bit mana intesive i think.
