I don't like Wild Quiver anymore.

Unless they Glyph it or buff it, it's atrocious. Bad. Terrible.

With my current build (1/53/7), Glyphs (Steady, Arcane, and Trueshot Aura), over the course of three Heroic runs (Shattered Halls, Black Morass, and Magister's Terrace), Wild Quiver counted for exactly 0.97% of my nearly 1420 DPS.

I'm getting Improved Arcane. Wild Quiver is crap.

What kind of rotation are you using with that spec? I thought wild quiver was a %10 chance on your Auto-Shot - seems like a very small % of your overall damage...

Lead with Serpent, then Steady/Steady/Arcane/Steady/Chimera rotating every 10 seconds.

Iiiiiiinteresting.... three more points to play with, eh?

I hate to say it, but what with the atrocity that is Master Tactician, I saw this coming. Alas, I held onto hope...

With wild quiver out, it's now

I would go two points from Focused Aim into Improved Stings. Trust me - Improved Stings makes Chimera hit like a truck.

A truck full of Rogues. With glaives.

Hmm... k, you have me sold :P

Still going for Imp. Aspects?

Rilgon Arcsinh said...

Yeah, probably, I'm still gonna go 11/53/7 but move Wild Quiver over to Improved Arcane.

Neggles said...

Actually, I'm musing about moving that last point someplace more productive than Focused Aim (feels like an all or none talent, the more I think about it). 6% more AP from stats via ever-popular Combat Experience, mayhaps? That whole 100% AP from Int makes CE actually better than were are used to thinking about it.

thinking of that

Rilgon Arcsinh said...

Ooooh, Maevet, you're really gonna pass up Improved Steady Shot? That's SERIOUSLY a really damn good talent.

And no Survival Instincts? We're THE Ranged Attack Power class! Why would you pass up another 4%? o_O;

http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=ctbMzZ0ecfMAzMeoxzAox00b looks to be what I'm taking now.

in my opinion

Rilgon Arcsinh said...

Improved Mend Pet is nowhere good enough to give up Improved Steady, Focused Fire, or Survival Instincts for. o_O;

For you guys speccing into the Imp Multi-Shot talents and Chimera Shot: Just keep in mind they share the same cool down.

Rilgon Arcsinh said...

That's why I'm not touching Multi ;)

S/S/A/S/C, it's a 10-second rotation all over again!

While I'm sure your Serpent/S/S/Arc/Steady/Chimera rotation does huge dps, how fast does your mana go away?

Chimera alone costs 550, I think 500 with talents. That's costly.
