Here's the idea:
1) Imp. AotH and Focused Fire = free large-dps increases for few talent points. Yay!
2) Lethal Shots and Mortal Shots are must-have for ANY hunter. Careful Aim is cheap and provides a LOT more attack power, capitalizing more on the gear we use.
3) The meat in the Survival tree:
- Improved Tracking - 5% more damage done to targets you are tracking (e.g. if I have "Track Humanoids" on I will deal 5% more damage to human targets).
- Lightning Reflexes and Expose Weakness - the main reason SV hunters exist.
- Potent Venom - serpent sting essentially deals a lot more damage, and is now cheaper to use.
- Sniper Training - special shots deal more damage, yay!
- Hunting Party - my ranged crits restore 2% mana, 10 energy, 4 rage, or 10 runic power to the party. 2% mana at our current level of progression = ~200 mana per crit, and unbuffed Shihli has 35% crit ... this means that 1 in 3 shots will restore 200 mana to the group's mana users, which is equivalent to around 200 mp5. TWO HUNDRED. OMFG.
- Explosive Shot - better than I thought it'd be. Instant shot, short CD, deals (RAP*0.2 + 345) to (RAP*0.2 + 415) damage to the target. Currently Shihli has 2800 RAP or so. This means that in my current form, I'd do 905-975 damage to all targets every 2 seconds, within 5 yards of the mob hit by the shot. Nice!
Survival hunters are the new shadowpriest in WotLK. Gotta have at least one imo.
is this a pet or Gozilla? lol

Shihli's Awkward Gear Predicament
Shihli — Tue, 07/15/2008 - 15:08
So I've been pouring over Cheeky's Spreadsheet for a decent while this afternoon (slow day at work), and I've discovered something:
With my gear options currently, I could see some bizarre dps increases and decreases depending on how much +hit and +haste I opt to use.
My options, more or less:
1) [Bindings of Lightning Reflexes] vs. [Wraps of Precise Flight]
2) [Cloak of Fiends] vs. [Drape of the Dark Reavers]
3) [Shattered Sun Pendant of Might] vs. [Choker of Vile Intent]
4) [Valestalker Girdle] vs. [Boneweave Girdle]
5) [Black Bow of the Betrayer] vs. [Legionkiller]
In short, I have a lot of applied theorycrafting ahead of me. Next time we step into BT I might start dinking around with my gear and see how I do. Depending on the amount of haste, sometimes the crossbow comes out over Illidan's bow, and all hell breaks loose if I opt to use all of my haste gear (in short, I get to weird "humps" where more haste doesn't help, as my shot rotation gets borked due to bad autoshot casting times).
Whoo boy.
Would you Download a I Hate Mavandon Song if I made it?
