Hunter Shot RotationFollow

Hey guys am just wondering something. So far i have 2 macros for shooting.

They are:

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, Auto Shot
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()


and

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=4 Arcane Shot, Multi-Shot
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

so at the moment i am just spamming the first one and using the second whenever i can if there is no CC or just waiting for the arcane shot if there is CC. I am not having any problems with my damage and even while specced BM i am usually first on damage meters without adding in my pet damage. Should i keep doing what i am doing right now or should i consider a proper co-ordinated shot rotation? Am currently using attumen's Xbow with no haste rating gear.

Thanks, do not have any issues with mana though because i drink after every pull if needed and have a lot of fel mana potions and super mana potions to keep me up. But with no CC around 1 multi-shot is definitely worth putting in because of 3x (or 2x) the damage of a normal shot at least not including that crit chances for each and arcane shot isn't mitigated by armor. So although my macros are ok and i may be using more than the needed amount of mana, i am ok?

Oh yea, if you can sustain your mana using that first macro AND adding the second macro's multi-shots/arcanes wherever possible that is a definate for any rotation. Just having experience with each encounter will let you know when subbing in Arcane and Multi-Shot is a viable substitute for Steady Shot as it generally raises DPS until you get t6 gear where Steady becomes more powerful.

Running out of mana at anytime during a boss fight though will destroy your DPS and must be avoided at all costs. Including just spamming your first macro that whole 10 minutes of Loot Reaver or Prince.

If you got the mana use it, you should be under 1k at the end of any encounter and if you're not, then you are wasting DPS somewhere =) =)

I just read something that kind of piqued my interest and has made me want to add Arcane shot (Rank 1) to the BM staple macro....I say Rank 1, because according to every website i've looked into to verify what I heard, it all says the same thing. Arcane Shot (Rank 1) is the single most mana efficient direct damage spell in the game, meaning you get mor damage for ever point of mana used to cast it. Yeah I know it won't add much DPS but any DPS increase is welcome in an already good DPS macro.

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, !Auto Shot
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Where would I have to add the cast sequence line for Arcane Shot (Rank 1) to put it into this macro?

let me know your thoughts on this as well. I want to try it out, but will discontinue it if I find my Auto/Steady macro to be hindered by the addition of the shot.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh well, at least I know now.

But seriously, if I were to add it, where would it go in the macro? I have to try it out while farming my Scryer Rep just for ***** and giggles.

Thanks, i'll try it out today and see how it goes.

To clarify, no shots will fit in a 1:1 BM shot rotation unless they replace steady... however, this is for the ideal ranged attack speed, meaning no time between steady and auto. If you have a slower bow/gun (not sure on the speed), then arcane may fit. Though i dont know if there are any ranged weapons slow enough for this...

anyways, just making sure you understood WHY no other shots can be added.

So I tried out the macro with Arcane shot in the 1:1 BM shot rotation and the shot wouldn't ever even que up because Auto and Steady are so close to each other, so it's pointless to even try fitting another shot into the rotation, even if you macro it and spam it til your finger hurts the shot will never go off.
