[ Recommended Spec ]
Mists of Pandaria - Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Now, I?m not going to go into every talent, explain them and explain why to use them...
I am however going to state that the selected talents have been chosen and are based on highest sustainable DPS and overall survivability and utility.

I recommend not expecting you to not let the CR just take control of your character.
To maximize your DPS you are going to want to work with the CR to get your highest output for that first I recommend this macro

[ Macro 1 ]

Code:

#showtooltip Virmen's Bite
/use Virmen's Bite
/cast Rabid
/use 10
/cast Bestial Wrath
/cast Rapid Fire

basically all of these abilities are off the global cooldown and are intended to be used in conjunction with
a countdown / prepot assuming you have them, if you dont basically same macro except

[ Macro 2 ]

Code:

#showtooltip Rabid
/cast Rabid
/use 10
/cast Bestial Wrath
/cast Rapid fire

now some of you may be wondering what /use 10 is, that for your engineering glove enchant "synapses spring"
if you have it.

after this has been used with 1 - 2 seconds left on the counting, the next thing you're going to want to-do instantly is
Serpent Sting to get combat to engage... now for the next few seconds you can breathe easy.

after the bot has completed a rotation and you see (stampede, dire beast, A Murder of Crows, Glaive Toss and Kill Command)
on cooldown, your next step is to use readiness and let the bot take over.

now later on in the fight probably around the 5min markish you're going to have several cooldowns coming off cooldown..
let them play out, my advice is generally to save readiness till sub 20% when you're in kill shot range
use your second virmin's bite potion when Bestial wrath comes off cooldown.. after it wears off, readiness and let the bot take over
again...

for me this works very well, my hunter ranks in top 100 on several fights and is generally in the top 3 to 5 for most heroic
bosses this raid tier, it's upto you if you'd like to take the advice, but in the end everyone needs to find their own
perfect play style to compliment their toon.

Thankyou for listening! - Matt84

PvP guide coming soon.

 

so youre not apart of the other project?

 

What other project?

 

work`s fine "Hunter EQ LvL 486" 120k DPS LFR ... nice job !

 

dont know y but i get nothing happening when i try to run this. also purerotation cc does not work for me but hunter XS by randomstraw does work

 

Falldown -- Here's some feedback that I hope is helpful with developing this routine. It's really nice, and I love the configuration UI. Very clean and easy to understand. With that said, some things for feedback below.

Feedback:
Something I noticed while using this is that it gets stuck on placing the trap when it comes time to launch it, which holds up the rotation. I've had to either click manually, or hit escape to clear the targeting circle of where to fire the trap. It mostly happens when something dies, but on rare occasions it happens in the middle of a rotation.

During scenarios it doesn't use the "On Boss" cooldowns on the scenario bosses.

Rotation:
The basic shot priority will be something like the following but subject to minor changes in priority.
Explosive Shot - (regardless of Lock and Load state)**
Kill shot - If the mob is below 20% health.
Black Arrow
Serpent Sting - (note that this has dropped in significance slightly because we no longer have Noxious Stings)
Arcane shot - If you have enough focus to use other abilities when they come off of cooldown
Cobra Shot

Stampede, Rapid Fire, Dire Beast, the level 75 talents, and the level 90 talents will mostly be used on cooldown with the caveat that you may want to delay them a few seconds for the sake of having them benefit from a proc. Readiness should be used after these cooldowns are exhausted. Cooldown collision priority appears to be a relatively minor concern as long as you are not capping focus (Murder of Crows is a very big focus dump and can be handy to use early or during focus saturation from your level 60 talent) or exhausting focus. Couple this with the uncertainty of Lock and Load proc times (and Thrill of the Hunt, if you are using that) and it would be inappropriate to try to highlight a "typical" opening sequence.

With that said, a suggested priority sequence with recommended talents would be:
Stampede
Rapid Fire
Explosive Shot
Kill Shot
Black Arrow
A Murder of Crows
Glaive Toss
Dire Beast
Readiness
Arcane Shot
Cobra Shot

Lock and Load**:
This section is a bit of a legacy because our behavior when we get this proc should be very straightforward - spam three Explosive Shots. Past behavior, however, was significantly more complicated so it is worth mentioning what has changed and weird behavior you might notice. In Cataclysm, Lock and Load was changed so that it could only be consumed by Explosive Shot and not arcane shot. This allowed us to weave in arcane shots between Explosive Shots, but we were still concerned about Explosive Shots overwriting each other and causes us to lose one tick. An overall change to damage over time mechanics enabled us to shoot the first two Explosive Shots back to back and not lose a tick unless we shot the third Explosive Shot. If we instead fired three consecutive Explosive Shots we would only get 8 ticks. In Mists of Pandaria, the Explosive Shot DoT now functions under a revamped Piercing Shots/Ignite mechanic. It will still only do 8 ticks but the damage of one tick will get rolled into another, doing the same amount of damage as if we had 9 ticks neatly spread across time. This means that all we need to do to optimize Lock and Load procs is: Explosive Shot -> Explosive Shot -> Explosive Shot.

 

cc seems to not work for me at all as i said in previous post now after much frustration is the logs 1st is Marks(this cc) 2nd is a cc that is working for me. maybe you guys can tel me at i am doing wrong and how to fix

thx

 

What are you trying to do with it?

Edit: Make sure Force PvP and Always PvP vs players are disabled and make sure Explosive Shot and Black Arrow are enabled in the GUI.

If force PvP is enabled survival wont do anything because PvP is for BM only.

 

funny thing. im trying to do any dps at all whilst i am in BM spec i tried on dummies i tried in lfr and i also tried in dungeons.
i have not been in sv cept to try it after B didnt work and still no joy

this is already set i have not changed a thing

 

Hey, hope I didn't upset you with the feedback I posted. It was meant to be constructive and helpful.

Anyway, something else I wanted to inquire about were the presets you have in the routine. Do my own personal settings overwrite the presets? Just wondering because I changed some settings to my own personal liking, then decided to use the SV preset you have in the routine, but I noticed that nothing changed when I selected it. My own personal settings stayed as they were. I deleted my settings from the settings folder so that everything went back to default, and tried the preset again, but to my surprise nothing changed again. So, I was wondering if you had settings installed for your presets, or if they were just a placeholder for when you get optimal settings made for BM and SV to choose from the menu.

The routine is running exceptionally well. My gear is ilvl 461 and I was bursting 106k dps, then holding steady at 60k in MSV LFR. So, it's running really well. Just wanted to give you info from Elitist Jerks for the best SV priority rotation in my earlier post. So, if I offended you, I apologize once again. The routine, itself, is really great. Just waiting on those little fixes I mentioned earlier about the trap launcher hanging in mid rotation, etc, etc.

 

Ok i have no clue as to why this is not working for me. i have just downloaded and installed all new HBuddy and Botbases as well as fresh Mark I cc , have SVN updated everything that could and this is still not working. i tried with Tyrael at a training dummie. One thing that does work is the use of Synapse Spring glove enchant and Pet spell Rabid other than that there is nothing but autoshot. again logs attached 1 is a working cc for me other is this cc that does not dps. they are both using the same botbase and are at the same training dummie. as you can see in the logs 1 uses spell and other has nothing.

With Preset tab in UI mine is Black compared to all other tabs being greeny/blue, has this something to do with the problem maybe. I try to click the BM in PVE to get it ticked but nothing happens, problem? or not in use yet?


Edit: just out of curiosity i tried in Surv spec instead of BM and still same thing View attachment 5600 2013-02-25 09.12.txt

 

ok just noticed something with cc not working and 1 that does at start non working cc does not have

in the log View attachment 5308 2013-02-25 09.37.txt this is falldown's cc The Beast Master PvE 2.7.3

 

Works great for me thanks Falldown! Always impressed by your hunter CC's. The Trap launcher works fine as well (BM PvE).

 

My pet died, but the bot does not understand.

my bot does not use Misdirection - Spell - World of Warcraft

 

my bot uses the same target Explosive Trap - Spell - World of Warcraft, but must use Black Arrow - Spell - World of Warcraft

 

Thank you mate. Wasnt sure about this and still was weaving arcaneshots between LoL Explosive shots.

 

For everyone having a problem when I was looking at logs you were all trying it with tyrael try using lazyraider then post a log
