I know I had some movement issues / concentration problems last night. Aside from this, before doing that, I tested my brain by using "tell me when".
While helpful, without it I was able to dish out more damage - so I removed it again.

In Myth+ I seem to be better, too - maybe I'm just getting too slow?

Anyways, all these things aside - could someone of my brethren / sisters have a look at the logs and assist me a bit?

Hey mate,

I'm not the best at dissecting logs so I can only point out some of the easier things to see.

1. Don't use trueshot so early - you're wasting focus by popping it before you've used an ability.

2. Potion of deadly grace are really good, using 2x potion will show a huge increase of dps. If they're too expensive maybe try potion of prolonged power.

3. Always start with windburst right before pull (I assume your guild uses pull timers?) and THEN trueshot+cooldowns -> barrage then go onto your rotation.

3. Use windburst and barrage on cool down, fight length/20 seconds = how many casts you should get off of each. I don't know if it's movement or what but that's not happening.

4. Use your 2nd trueshot at ~25% (and 2nd pot - if it's prolonged power make sure to use it earlier to get full minute) because of the artifact trait we get a lot of crit with < 25% hp on the boss.

5. Never stop casting. Move less, you don't need to move much really, don't let it stop you getting globals off. The more casts per fight the more dps naturally. Use things like disengage to your advantage for breath etc and make sure to finish your cast before using it. If you know breath is coming in the next ~5sec you can delay barrage or an LnL proc for that movement.

Good luck mate. Get onto the dummies and practice moving around without hindering dps too much. When it's coming into the phase where she sucks all the shit in, get into a good spot beforehand - maybe when there's some downtime in your rotation. That way when you've got stuff going on you don't have to move. Get into the practice of finishing your cast and then moving, only the amount that you HAVE to. Never move further than necessary.

Good luck mate.

Hey mate,

Good luck mate.

Thanks Krunkus, for the pointers. I'll take them with me for next raid

@Krunkus thanks for looking into my gf's logs for me, she said this helped a ton and she knows where she needs to improve. I appreciate your help!

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some info from some of you as to why I'm pulling such low dps with my hunter. Here is my most recent log:

ww.warcraftlogs.com/reports/aBPnHxbGTfZ9YgDk#fight=17&type=damage-done&source=8&start=5290192&end=5550938

Here is my armory:

Thanks all, help is greatly appreciated!

not really any major mistakes mate i actually think you did quite well given what you have a few minor obervations... food for thought really....

1, fishbrul special - single target
2, wait until you get maybe 20 stacks of bullseye BEFORE hitting Trueshot that way your haste increase aimed shots are much harder, theres no point hitting your trueshot at 20% of you have no bullseye, personally i perfer building up then unleashing....ok this might be 15% but i get full effect from it.
3, ive also been playing with True Aim talent in place of LnL and feel it get more out of it..
4, i also feel possible prolonged power in your situation would fair better given your raid popped BL/Hero on pull then deadly grace on your TS

other than that i think you had a good parse, but those changes may possibly have put you over 400k ... possibly

I have a question about the management of <Vulnerable> and <Marked Shot>
When I use Sidewinders <Vulnerable> is applied to whatever is hit, however <Marked Shot> almost always procs. I have been waiting till the very end of the initial <Vulnerable> debuff (usually getting off two Aimed Shots) and then activating <Marked Shot> and refreshing <Vulnerable> (but this general leaves me focus starved). Is this correct? Or should I apply <Marked Shot> on CD? This seems like a waste of the initial <Vulnerable> debuff applied by <Sidewinders>. I feel like this is a major hiccup in my rotation.

I went ahead to update from previous post. Tried some things I read in this post. It won't let me link yet so you have to add the prefixes. Sorry...

My armory shows me as BM as last night was the first night I did H Odyn and Guam, so I wanted to be safe.. The rest of EN was done as MM, I cannot equip two legendarys yet So I was using MM belt, and some haste/master 865 feet. my MM artifact has 22 traits and BM is at 19 I believe.

Give it to me straight, what am I doing wrong. BTW I got the cloak off odyn last night "didn't enchant yet
, going from an 855 crafted I know it's missing mastery, same with gloves going from 855 I think it may outweigh it.

halp!

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place to ask but i didnt want to start a new thread for this.

I recently got the MKII Gyroscopic Stabilizer legendary, and i would like to know if anyone has a WA string to track the buff.

Thank you very much in advance !

Looking for help/improving our hunters dps. All a bit (some a lot) below the DPS they should be pulling on most bosses:

490 might be 'fine' for the most part, but i'm looking at the record MM hunters. Sure they mostly have BiS legendaries, but I feel like my dps is still lacking and that I should be able to comfortably hit 550k at least in single target.

Any help would be appreciated!

I currently do not have any dps legendaries, and only 1 legendary overall, so I'm not sure if that's why my DPS is lower than my guildmates, or if it's a glaring rotational issue I'm missing, but I'd really appreciate any/ all advice the hunter community could offer. I'd like to stick to BM, as it's just a spec I enjoy more and my guild is not one that pushes mythics, but I'd still like to try and be a big fish in a little pond as far as my guild goes (or at least not a detriment).
