Need some help

Hey guys, i've had my hunter for awhile now, but I know she's not the best she can be. I'd really like to get gear good enough to be accepted into ICC 10 to get some better gear, but i'm not sure how to gem my current gear. It's mostly armor pen right now, but I think maybe I should just gear for agility instead. Also, should I respec my talent to add in Improve Arcane shot? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Here is her armory: http://www.wowarmory.com/chara…..8;cn=Elvii

Are you thinking your dps is low? Looking at your gear and spec you should be good for ICC10. Only thing I would change is re-gem all agility instead of having arp.

Well, I wasn't sure wether or not to use armor pen gems or agility. Someone had told me to gem for all armor pen, but it didn't seem to make much sense to me cause I couldn't really reach the soft cap of armor pen.

it is usually a non-hunter that tosses the armor penetration recommendation out.  I swear, Hunters have the most end-game spec/gear choices of any other DPS class.  I'd toss out arcane shot from your rotation and gem all agility in red and blue slots, agility/crit in yellow, and a +10 All Stats in the blue socket in your pants to proc your meta.  Also, you can remove a point or two from Focused Aim and place elsewhere – you are above the 263 hit rating needed to reach hit cap, so those ticks are wasted points.

 

Hope that helps – what does your rotation look like?

Hey Niika, yes, that does help, and thank you very much. icon_smile

 

This is my shot rotation:

Serpent sting

Chimera shot

Aimed shot

Arcane (But you said to take that out)

Steady shot

Kill Shot

Yeppers, and I mean it too.  Hit up Gar's Guides and try the spec at this link: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent…..qox00b:IAf as well, go all AGI gems in red and blue slots, AGI/CRIT in all yellow slots, and Get Thee a +10 All Stats in your pants (could get totally inappropriate with a way to remember to Do This Very Important Thing but I won't…) and the spreadsheets are showing a +140 something increase in DPS.  Keep out of the shit at your feat and the fire overhead, and that's a huge jump in your damage for a night.

 

Oh, flask Endless Rage, and eat Blackened Dragonfin and use the pet buiscuits too.   try and run H Forge of Souls to get that Needle Encrusted Scorpion too.  

 

Again, YMMV, but with the right spec and gems, you are well on your way to golden.

And using silencing shot (macro'ing it to your Chimera shot works wonderfully!) is one of the best pieces of advice they gave me here! icon_smile
