Didn't you know that KC>Arcane Shot as of the recent build and the talent that takes away the CD?

[WarcraftHuntersUnion]

@BaraniKJ Yes; however, it's less damage per focus than arcane shot (and it uses your pet's crit chance, which blows)

[BaraniKJ]

@WarcraftHuntersUnion Actually when they hit KC actually does more DPF not counting crits because of the recent Arcane being nerfed into oblivion

[WarcraftHuntersUnion]

@BaraniKJ Currently right now on live 12694 arcane shot is doing significantly more damage per focus than Kill Command, at least at level 83, the current level cap.

[BaraniKJ]

@WarcraftHuntersUnion 10,000 is X which is the AP Place-holder [.17x + 603] = New Build12694 Arcane Shot Formula = ~2303 Damage. Take 2303 and divide it by the cost of Arcane Shot which is 22 thanks to the Efficiency Talent and we arrive at 104.68 DPF. [.53x + 1149.98] = Kill Command Formula = ~6450 (Rounded up from 6449.98) Take 6450 and divide by 40 and the final damage is 161.25 DPF. The formulas are taken from the MMO-Champion Hunter pages

[WarcraftHuntersUnion]

@BaraniKJ The pet damage is also modified by happiness (* 1.25) and then that amount is mitigated by armor (figure maybe -40%). BUT the big thing here is that pets have a vastly lower crit chance, and you have to take both hit and crit chances and damage into account when calculating average DPF to make shot decisions.

are you having an earthquake at the end?

[ShimyBrudy]

first download a reccount or something to show your dps:P

[SoIErdUlykFreePins]

They remove scorpid venom?

[SuperShadowMage]

@iamproskie ummmm lol i do raid... and i am always in the top three dps :D but im sure different rotations work as well probs even better then mine it's just thats the rotation i like to use

[iamproskie]

@SuperShadowMage That aimed shot chimera shot would be only good for Questing and farming, in a raid or something it isn't that good. Because of the starting shots eating up your focus so much your going to have to pull off a lot more steady shots to get your focus back up, i only use chimera shot when i need the extra damage, and when serpent sting is nearly down and i need an instant refresh.

[SuperShadowMage]

i start off with aimed shot then chimera shot then use steady shot to get back focus then SS then cobra shot to keep SS up longer then aimed shot, chimera shot, steady shot until focus back up then aimed shot, chimera ect ect and my dps is fine

[Galijyx]

Scorpid venom is gone, removed and imp. Steady overlaps, this is a rather old movie, lol

[sixassinators]

WTF IS SCORPID STING???????? all i have is serpent sting as a MM hunter at 85

[Galeontanilla]

Oh yeah, and improved steady shot proc can be overlapped, so you can refresh it's effect without having to wait for the previous proc to wear off.

[Galeontanilla]

is scorpid venom still in the game
