So many specs in here but what would be really interesting is the rotation used as survival hunter to get high dps, if any.

A rotation depends on many facts and I would appreciate if we could gather them to get some rotation to work for any bow-speed.

- Haste buffs can be bad for rotations because cooldowns are not affected.
- Latency is a very big issue. Does latency affect the auto shot aswell while only shooting auto shots?
- You cannot fire specials faster than 1.5 seconds cause of the global cooldown, is this true or not?
- Specials delay the next auto shot by 0.5 seconds, is this true?
- Is it a good decision to use multishot against single targets as a survival hunter?

Lets take a 3.0spd bow for example. With only a 15% quiver its speed goes down to 2.6.
As said in the rotation thread the auto shot is your best shot and should never be delayed.

Steady shot is affected by the quiver and will be fired in 1.3 seconds. Its questionable if the casting speed of multi shot is affected by the quiver aswell.

To sum this up: Is it possible to find a rotation that will allow us to fire multi, arcane, steady and auto shots without delaying anything?

If find it hard to fit in multi shot cause of its cooldown and long castime. But I give it a try. Here is my sequence for a 3.0 speed bow with 15% quiver. I do not know how to handle latency in this sequence and haste buffs will mostly ruin the sequence cause of cooldown usage.
