Steady, Viper and Hunter's Mark.
Viper because we'll need it desperately to minimize our time in viper, steady because I'm counting on having serpent sting up for noxious stings and lock n load.
And HM because there's just nothing else.

stings glyph could be used, but if LnL only works when you use the sting you dont want it to last 3 seconds longer.
Going with a build like this (0/19/52).
Basically shooting steady's while keeping up serpent sting and shooting explosive shots when possible.

a.k.a. it's pretty ****.

I named mine Valefor, FF references FTW.

How many glyphs does a character get? 3 normally or 4 if they're an inscriber? (inscriptionist?)

Call me crazy, but I'm guessing it was actually a reference to an Aztec god... you know, the feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl? Quetzal means is a brightly colors bird, and coatl means serpent.

Of course, I could be totally wrong. I studied in Mexican for a time, hence why my mind goes to mythos instead of videogames :-P

Haha, I named my white Windserpent the same. (Although I think the spelling is different on mine)

Seeing as how MM is replacing SV as a utility spec, (Trueshot Aura, according to the talent calculator, now gives 10% AP raidwide.) and that deep Marksman (Especially Chimera Shot) seems doable in a PvE environment, I'd have to go with the Trueshot Aura glyph, Steady Shot glyph, and either the Viper glyph, or the Multi-Shot glyph.

The last glyph I take depends on many things. For example, they're moving the cast time of Steady Shot up to 2 seconds, so how will this affect shot rotations? In other words: Will I still be using a 1:1.5, 3:2, or 1:1? Or, will this force us to create entirely new rotations?

Just my 2 cents.

The problem with Aimed Shot was never about the casting time, it was about the fact that it resets your shot timer. Regardless of the cast time, it's taking up one full Auto-Shot anytime you use it (possibly more depending on weapon speed). I mean just a general example:

1:1 Shot Rotation with 1.9 speed bow

Auto > Steady > Auto > Steady > Auto > Steady Shot
0------------1.5-----1.9------3.4------5.3 (seconds)

Within 5.3 seconds you've managed to fire off 3 Auto-Shots and 2 Steady Shots while waiting for your 3rd Steady Shot to fire


Granted the timing might be off, but compare it to an Aimed Shot

Auto > Aimed Shot > Steady > Auto Shot > Steady Shot
0-----------------3-------4.5----------4.9---------6.4 (seconds)

Within 6.4 seconds you've managed to get 2 Auto Shots, 1 Aimed Shot, 1 Steady Shot in the middle, and 1 steady shot just finishing up to repeat the rotation of a 1:1 due to the aimed shot cooldown as well. The reason Aimed Shot is finished at 3 seconds is due to it's casting time, you'll also notice there is no Auto Shot directly after the Aimed Shot because it resets the shot timer, making it nothing better then an opening shot for Misdirects, farming, pvp, or some other fetish hunters have for this shot.

I like you. You're the only other person I've ever seen call the person who takes up the profession a Scribe. On top of Inscriber, I've also seen "inscriptors" (wtf?) and "inscription makers"


It's not a Final Fantasy reference in any way shape or form. It doesn't matter if they used the name, it's not their creation. And no, FF references FTL. The only FF game that I ever had fun with was the first one. I was unhappy with how long my pet's name was, but the final straw that made me abandon it was a FF fan whispering me, wanting to talk about the game.

okay ... sorry? You act as if you were personally insulted by an obscure reference. Switch to decaf maybe?

Oh! So this means that even as we are in the process of casting Steady Shot, our Auto-shots will continue to fire?

Speaking of FF references, I tamed one of the lynxs from the Eco Dome in Netherstorm and named him RedXIII.
