"honestly, you should be pulling a lot more than just 3600 dps."

It's funny that people often throw out the "you should be" comments without thinking about how much of a difference group composition makes. To compare 5 man and 25 man is apples and oranges. They forget what their dps was when they were in heroic's gear and pretend that last weeks 25 man Patchwerk in 213/226 gear with a min-max'd group is how their DPS always was. Ya I was born with 6k deeps.

Anyways, about those bombs, do you have to target the ground to toss them, like how Volley target's, or is it a simple click and toss?

I ask because if it doesn't waste more than a Global Cooldown then it would be a huge dps increase, but if they are like the old bombs I remember you had to click and then target and click again. I would guess that it would waste 2 or 3 Global Cooldowns and then be a loss in dps.

Dearest Rilgon,

Dearest Rilgon,

Please marry me.

What?! You said anything.

Yeah, it sounds great, and I'm gonna run some tests (now with FRAPS!) and see how it goes. With so few steady shots, ISS may go down the tube.

So many new things to do! God I love MM. I just wish we could fucking raid, this lag/DC issue is driving me mad.

In 10-mans, with only ilvl 200 gear, and sub-standard raid compositions? Not bloody likely unless I respec and use a broken pet, both of which I refuse to do.

Hehe, looks like Rilgon is livin' it up right now eh?

Between the Bomb box and the MM tree shining once more, I think this is a good time for you.

Plus, you have a huge variety of pets to choose from!

Actually, and you'll laugh, but I see more of a gain dropping Improved Steady and Silencing for Aspect Mastery than dropping Efficiency for it.

im still having questions about your usage of aimed shot and your value of it over steady. i wonder if not using it except for situational fights (ie. boss heals itself), would the improved chance of procing increase the dps. naturally, the longer the fight, the more attractive steady is over aimed (due to mana and more opportunities to proc).

also, would dropping 4 points from efficiency and using those to get aspect mastery be more dps? not only will you gain 90 ap (before other talents), but you will also do 20% more individual damage while in viper. i would think that those added stats would give more dps than reducing the mana cost of all abilites by 8%.

Neggles: The spreadsheet shows that as a 31 DPS downgrade for me. Your results may vary.

Jubilations! Looks like I got some glyphs to rework after work. :)

I'm going to have fun using my wasp and raptor.

And yes, I use Glyph of Steady as my third major. Considering GoAS or GoTSA in exchange, but I gotta do math.

That's it. I'm taking the leap and trying your spec out to see if it's time to go crawling back to MM like the good old days.

I'm learning more and more about my new spec from reading your blog. I've been a BM hunter ever since I rolled my toon a year ago and it will always hold a special place but I've developed a love of marksman as well.

So glyph of serpent sting and glyph of arcane shot...what about that third glyph? With steady shot being so low on the priority and the fact that it STILL doesn't work with marked for death, is that glyph even worth it or would I be better off in investing in something like Glyph of Aimed Shot or TSA?

Considering moving the three points from Imp. Steady Shot to Barrage - thoughts?
