On the one hand, Ego makes a post that for better or worse is looking to change the hunter community in some way. Now, because he has genuine concerns about this obviously Esoth feels he has to respond, as is well within his right, and clearly does not feel he is changed for the better by the post. He says that she is a failure because her information in his opinion is flawed.

Then you have Esoth, who creates a post that begins with “There is so much fail…” which while an eloquent display of one’s capabilities to be an asinine pissant without putting much effort into it, will automatically switch any receptiveness for what is to follow off on the part of Ego. Thus, in stating that she has “failed” to effectively teach others, he in turn has done just that by being incapable of diffusing his own ego and self-esteem issues from the message he had to give.

Don’t get me wrong, I find being abrasive to be very fun, but it isn’t informative. If someone doesn’t like what you have to say they generally don’t listen, and in this case to borrow your own poignant phrase, Esoth, “there is so much fail” in your introductory statement that I don’t know where to begin. Well, that’s a lie I know exactly where to begin — the first sentence.

Constructive criticism will always garner better results than acidic assertions, and so long as you fail to grasp that concept I wouldn’t be surprised if you feel the world is out to “ignore” you because no one takes your “brilliant” view point seriously. Look at yourself in the mirror, give yourself a big smile, and say “Hey guy, you matter”.

Once you’ve done that, it is my belief you’ll be able to post without trying to prove that to everyone while disproving the importance of someone else’s belief.

Or, you could just be a belligerent muppet, which is cool I guess, but don’t expect much more than indifference after you’ve burnt your vehement core into smoldering ashes.

Arcane shot scales horribly compared to steady shot. Even with ignoring armor, steady shot will surpass it with enough AP. Arcane shot should only be used in raids if you are moving or something needs to be dispelled (rare). Stings scale even worse. The only time you should consider using a sting in a raid is if someone is getting hit much harder than usual and you need to put scorpid up to give a cushion. Think people getting fel raged on Bloodboil, or RoS phase 1. Never ever use serpent sting.

Kill Command is actually a decent amount of damage. http://wowwebstats.com/jdzp2egrckmq5?s=253288-276217&a=x389bde Last Gorefiend it did about as much as my pet’s yellow damage. If I had a ravager or a cat, it would have easily surpassed it. For procs, it counts as an attack made by your pet. This makes it a critical part of FI uptime as well as frenzy uptime.

I am an expert on all things. I would have thought this would have been evident by now.

=) =) =) I can make more if you want lol. BTW I am an expert on every class I level to 70 as I like to excel at what I do both in and out of game. I am not a math guy but game mechanics are really easy to figure out and don’t change just because you re-roll.

Well, space goat, you’ve done it now! You should know better than to invoke “how to huntar”.

My my my. You try to show your basic shots for a non-raiding, barely Kara-sized hunter, and why they work for you, and everyone who’s ever looked at the hunter class pops up to politely disagree. From math that ignores the armor of your target (wouldn’t that be nice!) to the ubiquitous smileyface!

I’m waiting to hear from a Ranger, next, really.

Alas for me, belonging to the race that seems to be the perfect draw for the “xoLegolassox” type class. Don’t worry, though. Soon there will be Death Knights, and then everyone will get to be an expert on a different solo class! Mmmmm, gives me warm fuzzies.

I don’t understand why you say you can’t use SS when Rapid Fire and Bloodlust is up, I am a troll so I add in my berserk ability for the extra 10-30% haste and if IAotH is up my SS is almost instant cast lol. I hit 1487 DPS in heroic Shattered Halls on Bladefist (think my pet DPS was like 50 or something lol)

I don’t use any hunter add ons but I have made a few macro’s to help me out for when I am required to CC, so that I can focus on kiting and trapping without sacrificing my DPS too much. I am not an “Old school hunter” I actually only hit 70 a week ago on this guy, but I was doing heroic Shattered Halls since 68 (needed the rep for “The Marksmans Bow” =])

So the +strength from the kibbles makes your pet hit harder so smoke is generating more threat per attack.

I took aimed shot off my attack bars long ago, I dont want to think about the agro I would build if that thing ever went crit during a boss fight

Yes, I open with aimed shot…wanna fight about it?

Guns, Bows, and Crossbows also make a difference with Autoshot weaving. Keep your eyes on the speed depending on your Hunter Spec. Faster is better for BM because we don’t have those other shots MM’s have but if you struggle to weave SS in that fast get a slower shooter as you’ll have more time to get the shots figured out.

And practice with Rapid Fire on your own, soloing, to make sure you’re ready for the shot rotation change from the huge haste bonus. This practice will help too whenever a Bloodlust, love shammys, goes off and you’re like “whoa I’m huge and shooting a lot.”
