Finally...butFollow

We finally got a solid 10-man group for raiding.
I've been gearing up mostly through heroics, BOE's and rep rewards.
But i can't seem to get past 2,4k dps on raids, except on Loatheb (the one with the +50%crit) I had 3,7k

I've currently got 216 hit rating, with +hit buff food, i can reach hit cap so i'm going to put points from FA (3/3) into something else
I also have two points in unleashed fury (don't even recall why lol), so in all, I have 5 points to spend.
Should I put 3 into imp steady shot and two in wild quiver?
Or 3 imp steady shot and two more in efficiency?
So I will go from a 13/51/7 to a 11/53/7

Or should I just go on and wait for the new patch?
I'm also marks because that's the build I'm most comfortable with,plus, we already have two SV hunters in our group.

My shot rotation is something like Serpent,Chimera,aimed,arcane,steady,steady,chimera aimed, arcane, steady steady..

link to armory is in my sig

thanks in advance

Eh, that's ok. I'm bored.

first thing is spec. here's a 3.1 spec spec but it'd probably be good pre 3.1 too.
I left out a bunch of points for you to play with. I haven't looked at the barrage talents, but they do boost aimed by a fair amount, they could easily be suboptimal, Aethien have you looked at it? (nice for naxx trash, but hopefully we won't be aoeing as much in uldar.

If the barrage talents suck maybe something more like this?

I'd probably always take imp steady as you still shoot steady off a fair amount.

Shot cycles are a bad way to look at dps, as they tend to trap you into shooting sub optimal shots. The better way is to think of it like a priority. First priority is chimera, second is arcane, third is aimed, and last is steady. You would never delay a shot to get off a steady, but you might to hit that next chimera.

If you get a WWS that would help a lot too.

To be honest, I haven't given MM a second worth of thoughts.
It doesn't look like it'll be the top dps spec for PvE or the top PvP spec so I'm simply not interested.

To analyze the barrage talents dwarf, figure out about how much dps aimed shot is doing and then see how much difference those talents make.

I say switch to SV, guaranteed it will stay top DPS in 3.1.

Also don't forget about kill shot.

A swing timer type of addon would also help out in Xsar's priority shots. There are some that will show you the cooldown on a shot that could be placed by your toon so you would know when a shot is ready to fire and you won't have to be checking your action bars all the time.

you mean like quartz?

quartz is great, but he's talking about something that shows the CD remaining on a shot so you can plan your next shot better. I just use the icons themselves, it's the only reason I have icons, and I find they're a nice compact way to keep track of that stuff.

Just spec for now, don't spec for 3.1, all talents will be reset.

Here is a pretty simple one that the icons will appear when you can fire the shot...

@kelnoen : I guess you're right, just wait and see when 3.1 goes live.
Then there will be some thread about it and I can just read the remarks of other people and not feel so stupid....

@Brown tyvm, will give it a try! seems great
