BM - Help Please!Follow

I used about the same rotation as BM regardless if I was in a 5-man or a 25-man. Shot rotation generally depends on your weapon speed (including any hasting effects). Speaking in the most general sense, if you have a fast weapon, use a 1:1 rotation/macro. If you have a slower weapon, use a 3:2 rotation/macro. This is just a generalization, however, and if you really want to crank out the best dps your hunter can, you will need to learn how to use Cheeky's spreadsheet.

If your shotspeed is around 1.8 sec or lower, start with trying 1:1 priority
(meaning you replace a steady with an arcane/multishot whenever they are up, ofcourse as long as those shots outdamage your steadyshot)

If you are above 1.9 and below 2.1ish try the /cast/cast spam macro.
(check the sticky for that, although I think it is still called 3:2 in there... I should alter that)

If you are above 2.2, get a faster weapon! :P


I personally prefer using the 1:1 priority, simply because it is more fun than bashing 1 macro.
And between drums, IAotH, rapid Fire and Heroism my wolfslayer is pretty much always at a speed where the /cast/cast performs a 1:1 rotation anyway.
So using a 1:1 priority gives me more dps.

What works for you will be greatly dependant on your latency and what you are comfortable with, as well as what you are fighting.
On new bosses I generally use a 1:1 macro and handtime only multishot (arcane doesnt do enough damage over steadyshot to make it worth using) on anything where I feel comfortable enough with my role to pay some extra attention to my castbar I handweave everything because that is both more fun and results in slightly higher dps.
