Furthermore, the BM rotation is by far the easiest. All you have to do is look at it as a priority based system, rather than a sequence. You have certain shots that need to be fired immediately once their cooldowns are up. Here's the priority: - Kill Shot - Multi or Aimed (if you've specced into it) - Arcane Shot - Serpent Sting - Steady Shot Since Kill Shot doesn't become available 'til late in a fight, all you need to worry about is this: Multi > Arcane > Steady Making sure that Serpent Sting is applied each time it wears off. If you're worried about mana during single target fights, you can even drop to an Arcane / Steady Shot rotation (with Serpent Sting too, of course). Lastly, depending upon how much armor penetration you have, you can also get away with leaving Arcane Shot out altogether. For most hunters it's best to keep it in there, but at the higher gear levels, Steady Shot can actually top it. Hope that helps. :) Hi eveshadow,

Since Kill Shot doesn’t become available ’til late in a fight, all you need to worry about is this:

Multi > Arcane > Steady
Making sure that Serpent Sting is applied each time it wears off.
