6 minute average: 1675 DPS.

Granted, that's on a Theramore Combat Dummy, which is level 1, and that's also with my usual potion repertoire engaged as well.

Some notes:

*Led with a Rapid Fire/Trinket macro, used it immediately at 3 minutes, and when it was ready once more, I finished my testing.
*Rotation was: Lead with Serpent, then repeat Steady/Steady/Arcane/Steady/Chimera every 10 seconds.
*No pots were used, due to Potion Sickness.
*When I ran too low on mana to maintain my normal rotation, I dipped into Viper and spammed Steady until Serpent was at 1 second, then re-applied Serpent.
*I was 1/53/7, mimicking the 11/53/7 talent tree I have listed on the sidebar, but without the 10 points in BM (the 1 point was in Imp Hawk).


Some thoughts:
*Wild Quiver is giving me mana when in Viper, and it doesn't seem to be mitigated BY Viper. Bug? Maybe, but I'm not mentioning it.
*The rotation fits like a glove if I don't have anything hasting me. If I do, I usually throw a third Steady in before Arcane.
*The lag on the PTR comes in these HUGE WAVES.
*Having matching moths is cute. <3

UPDATE: I went and did the same testing on the Level ?? Boss Dummy in Stormwind. Right now, I'm putting out about 1350 DPS on a Sundered target when the lag isn't bad. Dipping into Viper occasionally hurts really bad, but I fluctuate really wildly with crits and procs and stuff - 1350 is a 6-minute average.

Are you on the PvE or PvP PTR server?

PVE, of course.

With as much as I hate PVP, why on EARTH would I copy to a PVP PTR? /boggle

To eat a few explosive shots from your friendly neighborhood SV hunter?
:D

I am neither masochistic nor suicidal, sorry. They make target dummies for that, and I'm sure you can make one look like a blueberry.
