I’ll be going over all of that in more detail in later posts, but real quick, here’s my shot rotation: Kill Shot- Serpant Sting- Arcane Shot- Multi Shot (use before AS when fighting more than one mob)- Steady Shot (until AS or MS are off CD, or if I need to refresh SS). When testing my DPS out on the dummies last night, I found out that I was doing 3.9k with nothing other than Dragonhawk, Spirit Bond and Kindred Spirits as buffs.

As for pets that I raid with, I ALWAYS raid with my spirit beasts (unless we’re on Faction Champs, at which point, I bring out Ducky for her disarming move). Ducky’s my only “normal” pet, and I only use her for PVP, and I don’t have any more stable slots for a wolf, devilsaur, or whatever pet I’m supposed to be using.

I managed to tame Arcturis about 06:30 today, but unfortunately i had to swap to SV for a raid and i now have a called stabled pet bug of 18 hours, so i can’t get him out to show anyone untill tomorrow:(

ive also notice you stack AP over agi? when 1 Agility = 1 Attack Power though 14 Ranged Attack Power = 1 DPS

Woo! Hello, Mousie. When Garwulf invited applications for submissions, I mourn’d my dearth of time to do any writing these days, but I’m really glad a BM PvE Raider made the cut!

I really look forward to your articles on BM raiding, as it’s my favorite thing to do – there’s nothing quite like out-DPSing the MM and SV hunters (who are sometimes in better gear) with my big green dino. And, of course, it’s always nice to hear epic tales of spawn camping. I nearly went frothing crazy by the time I finally found and tamed King Krush, so it’s always neat to hear the stories of other l33t searches

Grats on the invisible marshmallow bear!

3rd day of trying to get Arcturis. Logged in again at 4pm yesterday (17th December) and decided to wait it out, however long it was going to take. And boy it tested me! By 5am this morning (18th December) there was still no sign and I was so tired, fortunately my son got up so I begged him to sit for me while I got some sleep. He was about to give up after another 7 hours!! when NPCScan suddenly went off and he said Arcturis spawned about a foot away from him! So finally at 12 midday after a 19 hour camp I got him No clue what the spawn rate is for this bear – when he feels like appearing, I guess hehe
Good luck to all x

hi mousie good to hear somebody is doing nice dps in BM spec.

my main is a shammy but love the hunter because of the BM spec good for solo but cant get good dps in raids even got kicked out of one.

just wondering what your dps rotation is. and what your dps self buffed is on a practice target. and are you using arcturius for raids or other normal pet.

i got arcturius not sure if i was 1 one server some alliance just killed it in front of me the 1 time it spawned but i love the pet its worth the camping time for sure .

btw your dps spec looks good i testing it now,

thx for making my hunter happy again.

Uchikoma, you’re a model for courteousness and decency. The realms could use more players like you IMO.

Cheers.

I’m not one for cross faction competition when it comes to hunting rares. Even though my mains are alliance, if I have tamed something and see a Horde in the area, I always log onto one of my Horde alts and let them know where/when I got the tame. If I am about to log off on my Alliance hunter and there is a Horde nearby I always /point and /cast frost trap at the area I know the beast will spawn if I am about to log off.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter which faction we chose, it’s all about the thrill of the hunt, if I can help a fellow hunter find their rare spawn, then so be it.

Yep, Koroo is right, ya need to do an ARENA SKIRMISH :O
…I always get my butt kicked >_>
Although, my and my tree friend did win against a priest whose partner had abandoned her… I felt horrible beating her up, but at least Call Stabled Pet worked for all of… 20 minutes..

My Call Stabled Pet goes on 25day cooldown when:
I switch specs in a dungeon.
Participate in a BG.
Look at the button on my action bar in a funny way.

It’s really touchy, and this bug really sucks… I’m surprised they didn’t hotfix it last Tuesday, but I guess 5 more days isn’t THAT long… :c
