Hunter needs HelpFollow

We can help best if you link to your armoury (or give char name and server).

Firstly ditch you old macro, you can just use steady shot normally now as they're unlinked, might give you a nice dps boost.

Build wise, it'll depend on what you have at the moment.
The hunter raid thread has some good cookie cutter builds, you could try one of those (all three specs covered).

I have read most of the post and honestly I am a real newbie and trying to comprehend all that there is about the game etc.... thank you for your suggestion of rereading them, I will go back and look at them again.

my hunter is name fredworth and he is on Khaz Modan server. How do I link my profile ?


thanks again, sorry for being such a noob

Agree. I was BM and now have switched, Post Nerf Bat, to Survival. It is still very viable for solo'ing and the best pet according to calculations by others is the wasp, although the flying and in your face-ness is annoying so I have opted for next best, or equal best depending on raid buffs and sham's, the Raptor.

Make the change, and you sound a little more than your average casual player having got rotations and the like already in your workings. Most 'casual' just spam one shot and spend any and all gold in the AH on pointless upgrades in my experiance but then it is each to their own and how they wish to play that brings them enjoyment.

So give Survival a go. Look at Aethiens posts on the DPS topic. He might be a wee tad full of himself sometimes but Aethien, without a doubt, is the single biggest reason I out DPS'd my class leader last night on Malygos, although that was not a problem on the second attempt as he was spark watching for us, a neat tactic that works well to get them stacked

Good luck to you and hope you enjoy raiding and heroics as much as I do. It is only a month now since I have been entering them and it has opened a whole new WoW world to me. Big, massive repsect to the guild that took me on

*Repsect? what the hell is repsect? oh well I will leave the typo in for fun

I too made the Survival jump from BM and I'm still leveling. I freaking love it. Shooting things from 41 yards away is AWESOME. I of course pull threat from my pet almost immediately but the mob dies at my feet most of the time. I should drop my cat for a wasp/raptor but spot has been with me since I was about level 15.

All I have to say is what the heck happened to cats. Anyways. Zebug answered the question that has been weighing in my mind about survival. Pulling hate off the pet. But if the mob drops dead at your feet.....then whats there to worry about. Elites...I remember when soloing the elite quests in outlands was a breeze. Don't know if i'd be able to now after the patch. How well does survival do against elites that the hunter is so famous for taking down while watching a movie lol.
