/cast <insert shot here> 
/cast Silencing Shot

Just make that for Steady, Chimera, Aimed and Arcane and your Silencing shots will fire whenever they're ready.

I hope to be in that same boat soon. I'm currently leaning toward keeping Loatheb's Shadow because I have terrible luck with RNG. The vast majority of my Lock n' Loads proc right as the boss teleports to an unreachable spot or it's time to dodge something painful. With a clickable effect I can time it up when I know I can hold still for a while and/or link it up with rapid fire or heroism.

When in doubt keep both and equip the one that feels right for the fight.

I'm pretty sure the mirror is better, but I haven't done much hunter work lately.

Thank you!

I figured it would be something like that, but seeing the numbers is a huge help. :D

<-- is someone who bought hardened adamantite tubes for her warrior's goggles instead of figuring out whether raw mats would be cheaper because the math made her head hurt.

I did read through the WoWhead comments but I was a little fuzzy on how much it would be worth to someone with low crit chance and bad luck on procs combined. Knowing that, under good circumstances, it's only a 55 AP difference, is making me think Loatheb's Shadow is the way to go.

More like I lose that much anyway when the Rets insist on blessing something other then Might, and that's only if I don't end up with really ****** timing on procs (woo Gothik just switched to the other side!)

But yeah.

The more haste you have, the quicker Volley will be over.
It will however, keep the same amount of shots.

So if you normally have 6 seconds and 6 volley shots, with heroism/bloodlust it'll be 4 seconds and 6 shots.
(numbers are not exact, at all, but it shows the idea)

I have a lvl 14 troll hunter. I have read that BM is the best tree for solo leveling (I do plan to do some instances here and there as I level). Is this a good build to level with?

build

Improved aspect of the hawk seems like a nifty talent, should I substitute that for endurance training? Should I put 5 points into raising my crit chance immediately or should I wait until I fill out the BM tree then put points into the marksman tree? Thanks for any advice.

I hope this is a simple question.

I've been using the crafted Nesingwary 4000 gun for a while now. Last night I won the roll on Arrowsong.

Running it though Warcrafter with the same Heartseeker scope (+40 crit) and ammo it tells me I have lost AP but gained DPS. AP is down by 19 but DPS is up by 15.

Autoshot seems to be about 20% of my damage from recent WWS.

I've been concentrating on maxing AP but this made me think about it. The purpose of AP is to increase my DPS then a straight DPS increase is better than just having more AP?

Am I going round in circles here or does it make sense to switch to the bow?

Thank you. That is a very nice site.

It does however say exactly the same thing. Arrowsong gives me higher dps but less AP.

I suppose I'll just have to find out by using it.

I had a question regarding the mechanics of traps.
When the Frost trap goes off, any mobs in the area are obviously affected. Mobs that enter the area after the trap goes off are affected as well. Does the Explosive trap work in the same manner? i.e. I drop a Frost Trap and an Explosive Trap that go off together and hit a group. Another mob enters the aoe and is slowed by the frost, but is it affected by the Exposive Trap DOT as well? In the same vein, do mobs that leave the aoe of Explosive Trap lose the DOT?

How important is Hit Rating, exactly?

I've always gone for hit cap above all else, which means using a couple gems for hit instead of agility. I've been messing around with the online spreadsheet, though, and it seems as if, as long as there's a Draenei in the party, I do a lot better adding in an extra agi gem instead of a hit one. Yeah, I know, obvious, but it's not something I'd really considered before.

What do you guys think, as an Alliance hunter is it reasonable to go for 7% hit instead of 8% on the assumption that there will be a Draenei there when it really matters, or am I better off going for cap regardless of any buffs from group members?

What I was seeing was a bigger DPS increase in one more agi gem plus Draenei aura over one more hit gem than in one more hit gem over one more agi gem. When you say fully raid buffed do you mean with or without the Draenei buff?

I probably shouldn't worry so much about this, I'm not too far under cap (7.5% atm). I want to make sure I'm getting the right epic gems cut now that I've talked my hubby into picking up the hit and agi designs first, though.
