    Numbers? No. Common sense though...

    Mastery affects: Explosive Shot, Black Arrow, Arcane Shot, Cobra Shot, Serpent Sting

    Haste affects: Cobra Shot

    I would also really appreciate to have some 'rough' rotation ideas for when it comes to aoe and single target, so I can compare mine to it and see where I'm going wrong (doing 30-40k single target dps in 5-man heroics *no food/flask/elixirs/pots buffs, just normal group buffs* in 463 average ilvl gear).

    Also that was without the blastington's scope, I previously had the crit chance scope. I've just got the blastington's and attached to my bow, however, I have not tried using it yet! Would this give me a big dps boost?


    Very sorry for my nooby questions, but I'm trying to improve and will greatly appreciate your time in reading and hopefully answering these for me
    haste caps are almost entirely irrelevant now/ they are such soft caps now with the new way that ExS works that it won't matter if you're not doing heroic progression.

    MoC is better than Lynx Rush for most fights, if you are a casual player, MoC is fine for all of MSV and HoF. the only fight you will want to change it for is Lei Shi. progression raiders may find Lynx Rush useful for other fights where the burst is needed, or phases are being transitioned in odd ways.

    Rotation wise, there is no real rotation, mostly just a shot priority system, outside of CD's you want to go for Glaive Toss> Black Arrow > Explosive Shot >Arcane shot, while maintaining your serpent sting, dire beast and other cd's when useful. for two or more mobs, replace arcane shot with multi shot, and for 4+ adds, replace everything but glaive toss with mutlishot, and use an explosive trap instead. (don't take this as absolute cannon, it's not, and there is some nuance depending on if there is a large add, or different adds that need to die first, etc, etc, etc.) but it will get you through most encounters with good dps. ensure your glaive toss is hitting maximum targets and you'll be fine.

    Blastingtons is better by a HUGE margin. there's no comparison.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    For my own personal question, i've been keeping up on several forums and this seems to be the only one i can find that is Quoting C>M>H, rather than C>H>M. does anyone have a link to the theory crafting on this? i've run my own sims on my own caracter and several other characters/players that i know have similar skill levels with various reforges and still conclude that haste is better than mastery at my current gear level (489) with a 471 wep. as well as all gear levels except BiS. does this change at different/higher gear/haste levels?

    to the dude above me:
    Haste affects focus regen, which is very significant. as well as the GCD, which is very very very significant. since all of our spells are affected by GCD (nearly everything but pets and cobra shot) or directly by haste (cobra shot/pets to a small degree) AND not all of our spells are affected by mastery (auto/KS/pets), this is where the argument occurs, the other important factor is that it does not take the same amount of rating to get 1% haste, as it does to get 1% mastery.

    common sense works, if the knowledge is common.

    Ask yourself a question: 'How have I made the world a better place today?'.

    If your answer isn't legitimate, or meaningful: TRY HARDER - YOU ARE FAILING AT RL!

    Yeah this is what I was asking, would love some math on it since Noxxic and other sites are pushing haste>mastery.

    Couple notes.

    Haste is a fickle stat. It's value is almost impossible to determine, yet in most cases it is overvalued rather than undervalued. This is true for both Femaledwarf and Simulationcraft.

    The current priority is Crit > Mastery > Haste. Has does not effect our GCD at all (It's always 1 second).

    Many of the sites for hunters are extremely outdated (Noxxic for example) and are a terrible resource for factual information. It can give you a rough idea, but don't rely on it entirely.

    Not to be unnecessarily confrontational but what part of me referencing other sites and asking for sims and data to corroborate whether or not mastery>haste priority was correct gave you the impression I was relying on Noxxic entirely? :P

    Will this neat guide be updated to 5.2 changes?

    Don't have alot of time right now as heavy progress is starting. Maybe I can get it done little by little, but nothing immidiate, and haven't started on it yet.

    wow. that was a silly mistake. my bad. you're right. i'm still not convinced that mastery is better than haste though. you have convinced me that 1% mastery IS better than 1% haste, but the actual rating value to achieve 1% of either is still too different to rely on my rough napkin math (i have them almost on par now). do you have a source with theory-crafting?[COLOR="red"]

    Due to RPPM, it is now Crit>Haste>Mastery for all specs.

    What is it you want the macro to do?

    the macro is to cast arcane shot and activate synapse springs if you're an engineer

    So, BA is supposed to be higher than ES even if LNL is on cd? You would interrupt spamming ES during LNL do reapply BA?

    I do since you can proc another stack of LnL while you are spamming, keeping the chain going.

    Plus it's higher DPET than ES anyway
